I want to get my rant post out of the way so I can focus on my advice and reviews.
I came home from my honeymoon, to be picked up by my Momzilla who immediately made me cry by yelling at me and telling me how pissed my aunt (her sister) (aka auntzilla) was about her seating arrangements at the wedding and demanding I call her and apologize. She claims she is insulted and felt like a seat filler. The whole thing is ridiculous on many levels. For one, they were only sitting in that arrangement for 3-3.5 hours (and many of those involved getting up and dancing and walking around). #2, She got my mom so upset that now my mom has now turned around to say that she didn’t want to sit with my husbands parents or her own son (my brother) and that she wished she was with my aunt and that my seating arrangements were terrible. We had less than 50 people at our wedding. There wasn't much I could do considering we didn’t want the young people mixed in with the very old and we wanted our parents and siblings to be seated together. We put a lot of thought into it and had good reasons for placing them where we did. #3, it is our day. Not theirs and they should suck it up considering I already took one seating request from them. Am I wrong to be offended that they are so pissed and offended? I don’t want to have to apologize or explain myself. It seems embarrassing and belittling and I hate that all they had to say was how they hated their seats rather than anything positive about the amazing day we had set up. How can anyone hold a grudge about their seating arrangements??
I would like to also mention that during the reception she complained that the entrees were awful and gave me attitude on my day regarding my photographer not getting photographs of us together.
I cried all the way from the airport back to my apartment. Which took about 2 hours. And then cried more.
I guess I have to suck it up and call because I don’t know how else to proceed.

I never care where i sit at an event. What's the deal w people? You had under 50 people! Theres only so many seating combos possible.
Your aunt is selfish. She needs to worry about more important things. Id tell her you put her there bc you knew she'd talk to the people w her. Maybe she'll feel important like she was in charge of the table.
Mad at what table youre at? Geez.

Btw when you call make it known that your mother said she was complaining! Maybe she'll feel like a moron.

I would definitely call...I'd call and tell my Aunt that if she didn't like her seating arrangement and if I'm so bad at seating arrangements I'll do her the courtesy of not inviting her to anything else so she doesn't have to deal with my poor seating arrangements.
Never EVER back down and do what they want because the second you do they will think they can walk all over you. They won't stop.
