Q of the D.......family and your wedding

---

Posted by Future Mulligan

ehhhh there are people i dont want there - not only because they are embarrasing but b/c they arent nice people....but i have to invite them - but i dont care, i wont let them ruin my day!

---

Ihave a table full of peoplethat are not nice, I figure they will all have something in common and make for fun conversation, or not.

Do 2 mean people cancel themselves out?

Yeah i would have loved for my family from Italy to come too but they would have gone a little too crazy!! I wouldn't have minded though

My cousin that came with her husband was pregnant so that calmed her down a bit!

---

I have to make jokes about my family it is the only thing that keeps me from taking it way too seriously.

Did your pregger cousin have a good time without being able to whoop it up?

---

yes they had an amazing time
american weddings amaze them - italian weddings are lower key and sometimes dont even involve dancing. . . there is MUCH less food ( but i am sure better food LOL )

everything is more 'homestyle' like at a friend's restaurant with another friend taking pictures for you. . . this of course is just hte experience with MY family i dont know how it is elsewhere

so btw my brother's wedding at the lighthouse and my wedding at JT they were shocked!

i dont have much family here and the ones who will be at my wedding, no not worried about them. Sometimes i wish i had more family who would be at my wedding even they embarassed me rather than not having them. Unfortunately most of them cant be here, with getting visas and all that its just impossible right now.

---

I keep forgetting that there are other people, besdies myself, who have very few family members coming for one reason or another. You are right though, I would rather have my family here embarrassing me a little, than not at all.

I just hope my mom doesn't start telling foul jokes

---

yeah most of my family is overseas and to get visas especially for a whole family such as wife, husband and kids its not easy to do. If they lived nearby they would all be here but unfortunately distance doesn't help. Yeah considering fh will have around 100 family members at the wedding, really makes me realize how much of my family wont be here.

i have a great story!

MILs friend who is in her 50s got DRUNK at the wedding. So she was sitting in a van they got to go home and she has her head btw her legs trying not to puke.

So DH goes up to her and says 'Hey what were you drinking you nut' and she was like 'Great wedding i was drinking slippery nipples the whole night but now its so cold out mine could cut glass' ((PS that was NOT what she was drinking but anyway ))

DH was like and ran away from her

Then she puked out the window the whole way home

So many people puked at my wedding, thankfully none of them at the actual hall unless they were in the bathroom

all class i tell you, i should have asked people not to puke

My 91 yr old aunt is very hard of hearing.. I can totally picture her yelling to the person next to her (even tho she doesnt know she is) during the ceremony that she cant hear.. She has 2 hearing aides and they dont work....

I hope someone keeps her mouth shut!

Yes but I just keep telling myself they will embarass themselves and look like jerks.

---

I never hold anyone else accountable for their ridiculous family members, however I can't help feeling embarrased of my own

---

Posted by MrsK2008

Do you have any family members that embarrass you?

Are you concerned someone may make a spectacle of himself/herself at your reception?

---

Yes and yes.

maybe I should consider handing out airline barf bags with favor inside instead of favor bags?

The thought of your hard of hearing g-ma saying something loudly makes me crack up! It could make for great wedding video footage

seriously, i try not to post about it a lot bc i dont want people to think we are WT but so many people were like 'great wedding, i puked'

for starters
the MOH
the BM
the GROOM!
and many more!!!!!!

but all discreetly i promise! i had no idea.

Unfortunately YES,
my family is extremely loud and obnoxious. At my aunt's 50th birthday at a catering hall I couldn't find any of my family then when I look in the parking lot they all came stumbling out of a smoky van

also FH's older sister we are having lots of problems with. She has been pretty nasty to me since we have been together (banned me from her baby shower etc...after giving her gift already to their mother) and I invited her to my shower which she proceeded to talk badly about my friends and family while there. FH has fought and uninvited her countless times but after many fights with his family, I knew she show up and cause a scene anyway plus I don't want to be the bad guy so we are still letting her come. I don't know why she even wants to come but I think its just to cause a problem so I am a little scared

I certainly do!
My FFIL!
God help us all!!!!
