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

Original post 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?

oh yeah my dad is extremely vocal hahahaha. My reaction when dealing with vendors or anything like that is to talk and handle it first not yell at first hahaha but yeah i can be pretty vocal. People always say they wonder who has a bigger mouth my dad or me lol

Make sure though that your Fh tells him, hey dad i want youto have a good time just relax. Well hey at least you know you'll have a ton of extra pics



I try my best to deal with everyone courteously, especially vendors. I have found that I do not get the same courtesy in return most times.

I often have a hard time knowing when to pull out the big guns.

I feel like if I am paying for something, regardless of the amount spent, I should be respected. But people in general are not very nice, or reasonable. It is as if vendors are doing me a favor by accepting our money.

I would like suggestions on how to tactfully handle these meanies! I feel like I am trapped; like if I get frustrated the vendor is going to screw me over.



I have given advice to people about things I have had to handle and was successful at, but there are so manythings that have been really handled unsuccessfully for me.



Isn't that the kicker? It's sad when some vendors act like they are doing you a favor, especially once they have most of your money. Knowing the wedding business, you'd think the least they could do is try and put your mind at ease knowing everything couples deal with planning a wedding. It's a crumby feeling worrying if you're going to get screwed over, especially for your wedding.

FH's brother pulled his pants (and underwear) down to his ankles at my engagement party. Needless to say, Im a bit worried.



I hear ya on that one. My FH's good friend has a tendancy to pull his pants down at weddings. And he doesn't wear undies!

Ha...that's probably a good way to describe it. Well, in a way, once these vendors have most of your money, you kind of have to kiss some butt...unless you're fortunate to be dealing with some nice people.

Both are gross, but I'm thinking holy undies are worse...at least the fur bikini can shadow the naughty areas.

FFIL at our engagement party got there earlier than FH and I did to make sure things were set up and ready. We were like huh!? It was weird because FH and I paid for it and all and he was there worrying about little things...it was kinda embarassing because he is a big romanian guy who well speaks his mouth and gets angry if things dont go his way.

So I am just worried at the wedding he will walk into the reception room before fh and I get to see it and complain about something or fix something


what can ya do...not going to let that ruin my day!!! but def have to warn my photographers that FFIL is definitely into picture taking and will probably be telling them what pics to take at certain times



WOW the whole yelling and making sure things get done sounds very familiar thats how my dad is. I guess it is a romanian thing, loud and opinionated hahaha. I dont yell at vendors or other people though.

Dont worry, i think he will be too busy though doing other things so dont worry. He probably won't have time to make sure they are setting up your RH right.



haha yeah doesn't it sound familiar

yeah now that i remember correctly he was pretty good at FBIL's wedding...just the picture taking thing haha he will always have a camera to take pics!!!!



oh yeah my dad is extremely vocal hahahaha. My reaction when dealing with vendors or anything like that is to talk and handle it first not yell at first hahaha but yeah i can be pretty vocal. People always say they wonder who has a bigger mouth my dad or me lol

Make sure though that your Fh tells him, hey dad i want youto have a good time just relax. Well hey at least you know you'll have a ton of extra pics



haha yeah i will definitely have to tell FH to tell him that!!! But yea he definitely is very vocal...and me I am so NOT vocal haha so we are a funny combo when he gets vocal around me....i blush and get embarrased ebcause i am not like that. But I love the man he is such a great guy. I want him to enjoy himself!!!!

My parents are pretty good, and already thinking of ways to take of this. One relative, who lives far away, isn't being invited (and won't know about the wedding until after the fact) -- my parents judgement on that. There is another person, not a relative, but is married to a close family friend who is of course being invited, but no one can stand the guy. My parents just went out with that couple and they are trying to figure out a way to ask the guy to kindly not show up because he curses not stop and acts very inappropriate (and when I saw this actions that was WITHOUT liquor!). I wholeheartedly approve!

gladly no, we don't have family members that are out of control. but I can't say the same for some of our friends. After knocking back a couple of drinks some of them can go a little bit wild.
