People and their unsolicited opinions about your wedding....
Original post by Lorelei
Has anyone been dealing with this? I'm hearing it from a lot of people. For example, a friend who just got married actually replied 'Ewwwww!!!!' when I told her we picked a band for the reception. Another person keeps giving her two cents about what time we should start the cocktail hour.
And then the kicker - a friend recently went on and on about how horrible, terrible, and annoying it will be that we are having a Mass instead of just a ceremony. It was all I could do to bite my tongue and tell her that if an extra 20 minutes will be so difficult for her to deal with, she can just stay home.
I guess all the Judgey McJudgersons come out of the woodwork when there's a wedding but I guess I am still kind of surprised. I am pretty much radio silent on wedding plans unless someone asks, but now I feel like just not mentioning any plans or choices at all.
People should learn how to shut their mouths!

Crashing!! After a year of planning my wedding, and it's here in 10 days, I can honestly say do NOT worry about pleasing everyone, you never will. This is YOUR wedding and YOUR budget, do what you want and what you love. Screw the rest of them and enjoy yourself.
I have found a lot of people's true colors while wedding planning, and even kicked 2 people out of my bridal party. Trust me, you're better off without negative nancys!

I was dealing with this a lot and people were saying that all I do is talk about the wedding plans.. meanwhile, the only question people ask me is 'How are the wedding plans going?' So now to avoid being accused of talking about it too much and people giving their 2 cents, I just say, 'They are coming right along thank you'

It’s really crazy. I knew everyone would give their opinions but I guess I didn’t think that people would actually be so rude about it! I find it mostly funny and amusing, (as in, yes, I will certainly change my plans based on YOUR opinions! OK!)
What I really have an issue with is people scoffing at religious decisions regarding a wedding! That’s personal, and not something that can or should be judged.
Radio silence is what needs to happen to keep the busybodies away!

I've had a few people lately make comments about the inconvenience of a Friday wedding, which really ****** for me to hear because I struggled to come to terms with a friday rather than Saturday. My solution to the third one that made a comment? So don't come if it's that much of a problem! I wasn't about to get married a different time of year than I wanted or at a venue I didn't love just to be on a Saturday. You will never please everybody unfortunately!
THIS! I can't deal with the Friday comments lol

Ugghhhhhh I feel your pain, everyone has an opinion. especially about our budget which to be honest with you is not a WHOLE lot. If I have one more person tell me we could use that money to put a down payment on a house I'n going to kick them in there kneecaps! lol as if we currently live in a shack and will never ever have money for a house!
