Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

for the most part, i'll stay out of this (shocking eh?)

but i will say, if this is really important to you and I know it is, I would make sure every guest at your wedding knows how you feel. I mean, when I go to a wedding, I'd like to think I can wear what I want (within reason of course).

That said, if you absolutely don't want fur at your wedding, everyone needs to know this. Just like not eveyone knew about Fur Free Friday, not everyone will know how stronglyyou feel. I'm sure family and close friends will, but you always get the random cousin that you haven't seen in 5 years that'll show up wearing a fur coat and while I think that throwing them out because of it is a bit extreme, if this is the reality, they need to know to leave the fur at home.

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

YEP
well, probbaly not.

But I definite;y won't touch them, or anything, and I will definitely say something to them.

Because they KNOW fully well that how I feel about fur. And it's MY day I'm not a bridezilla at all, but ew... I mean, if you KNOW the bride has a real problem with fur, why do you want to make her cry/throw up on her wedding day? Just wear something else. (duh)

Anyway this post wasn't like 'howdare they' it was just ;ike 'ewwwwwww ' you ever have something you know you have no control over, but it just irritates you...that's what this is.

exactly, if they know how you feel, they shouldn't wear it, but i'm talking about the random friend of a friend/work colleague that may not know

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

Yeha, if some random person does, I mean, what can I do, but I'm talking about these specific people, who DEFINITELY know...


I'd just feel like, if you KNOW it's going to bother me, just wear something else..I don't think that's too much to ask!

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

why not move your date up to a warmer month, this way people can't wear the fur coats, it will be way too hot for that.

Yeah! I know! I actually couldnt quite find the words for like, what I was feeling...Wish I could have made it.

'no one else is going to care, but '

And 'the nerve' is in caps, because, it's kind of facetious..but....blah! 10 years on the internet, you'd think I'd be better at online communications!

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

I don't think you have the right to dictate what people wear to your wedding.

Also, I think they will have their coats checked before you even see them.

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

You're right!

But I think if, I mean i can't think of an example, but if something made the rbide sick, I'd just try not to do it at her wedding. that's all. Maybe I'm being spoiled, but I think it's just a little thing to them, that's a big thing to me. Fur makes me want to throw up, and it amkes me cry. I don't see acoat. I see dozens of dead animals!

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

learn to adapt. i see that you have a problem w/fur, and that you don't see just a coat, like many other people do, but if you don't agree w/it, boycott it. that is the single most effective way to show your disapproval of something. i see where you are coming from, but it will be difficult to make all your guests see your side of things.

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

no offense...since the animal is already killed for the coat wouldn't you rather see someone get joy out of it rather then just thrown out in the garbage or to have someone throw paint on it???? just something to think about.

Re: No one else is going to care, but..THE NERVE

First off, i would think that being your cousin, and knowing it makes you literally sick to your stomach, they would leave the fur at home...you should just kindly ask and say it would mean the world to you..if they are rational people, they'll understand.

This was just a thought though..other people are bound to show up to a winter wedding wearing fur...i think what you should try to do, is tell yourself it is all faux fur...just keep repeating that its not real and try to deal with it that way. For such a big day in your life with the hundreds of other things going on, hopefully nothing like that would ruin your day or make you sick.....kind of like a vegetarian who is disgusted by meat...sometimes you just have to deal with being around things you don't like and move on..i'm sure you'll be fine. If you know in your heart how you feel about it, and that YOU make the right decisions for you, then that should be enough! good luck
