This comment was made to my mother about the fact that some of my cousins were not invited with their boyfriends.
'They cant bring their boyfriends? Theyre gonna be so bored'
i said no to dates..unless they are engaged or live together- i didnt want to pay for someone i didnt know

'Dont have your wedding reception far away, I dont want to have to drive far'
OMG YES! One close friend...well not so much since I got engaged, said- your reception is on Long Island? How am I going to get there? That's so far. Why didn't you do the City?
Erm...yea. Because my wedding revolves around you being there.
I'm getting that from people, but in a subtle way. Like when I say I'm going to see The Swan Club...I get, Oh...why don't you look at so-so. Which is a lot closer for them and myself. But funny. Its subtle, but same thing.

Hmm, we'll when I first got engaged it was 'Why are you waiting soooooooo long to get married?' (we are having a 2 year engagement). So I would say...'Do you want to pay for my wedding? No? Okay then SHUT UP!'
I've also gotten 2 nasty comments about my ring: 1 was 'It's nice, but its not what I would have wanted!' and the other was 'Oh, we'll you'll want to upgrade when you get older.' Those were both shocking comments considering my ring is gorgeous (if I do say so myself) and over 2 carats, so why would I want to upgrade?!?!?!
That is VERY rude.

More so about some people who say nothing...
A few people i know are getting married also. It can be a 2 hour conversation about everyone's wedding and i sit there. I'm not too close with them and i'm not the one to toot my own horn or anything like that. But really... talking about other peoples weddings and not asking 1 thng about mine.. not even generally like 'how's the planning going?'
dunno.. i just think that's rude.

'So, what's your budget?' ~Coworkers and boss!
oh and also, 'You WOULD have your wedding at a vineyard.' ~Friends, hey they all drink wine too, I'm not a lush!

The rudest comments have to be about losing weight. I am already tiny and I did not diet at all, but still some people would ask me when I plan on losing weight. Or is someone at my office would see me eating a cookie or something they would remark 'are you sure you want to eat that?'
OMG...people say the same things to me!! And I'm 5'6 and weigh 115 lbs!! WTH! I obviously do not need to loose weight. Every time I eat something people are like 'uh oh...careful your wedding is near by...are you sure you want to eat that?'. HELLO! Obviously the way that I've been eating has been working for me so why don't you just crawl in a hole and die. stupid people.
lol...sry its really annoying though

Like many of you I hate 'I better be invited to the wedding!!'
Girl...we haven't hung out in months and even when we did we never did anything more than drink with a bunch of other people...why would I invite you???

i am so over ppl telling me that they should be invited. weddings are expensive... i can't afford everyone...
how do you girls handle that statement?
when ppl say 'you'd better invite me', i just smile and change the subject or ignore their comment.

I'm getting married Memorial Day weekend in 2010, and my friend told me no one was going to come because of the holiday.

One of my 'friends' at work who is a guy asked me how FH proposed. When I told him it was at our house infront of my whole family...he asked me if I was disappointed because it seemed like it was a boring and unoriginal way to propose! I don't know...thought it was kind of rude...a simple congrats would have been nicer!

I got his a lot. They peopel who asked were actually the ones I didnt invite. If you have to ask then you prob are not invited.

I'm having a very small wedding (50 guest max). So I always get the '50 people? why even bother to have a reception' and a co-worker said to me: 'let me see your e-ring... oh, well, i guess you take what you can get'
id probably punch that co-worker in the face

I hate how when i put a piece of junk food my mom is like...you have a wedding dress to fit into!
or, are you sure you want to get married?? ----uhhh obviously, i wouldnt be doing it
also, FH is catholic, but im not. however, we are getting married in a catholic church. FMIL is always on me about converting to catholic... she says it means a lot to FH, ---thats funny because I dont even remember the last night FH was at church!!!!!!

maybe that is what i should do- every time it happens- i feel like i have to justify myself... and explain why i am not inviting them..
