So i'm at my brother's house, and i can't quite remember how the conversation turned to my wedding...but it did. he then says 'So how much $$ are you paying per person?' so the conversation follows:

Me: 'Why do you want to know?'
Him: ' What's the big deal? just tell me how much $$ you are spending a person?'
Me: 'I don't really feel comfortable talking about it. '
[because i know he'll be a gossip and tell other friends & family, and it's just none of their business]
Him: ' Well i would think you would tell people to make sure that everyone gives enough to cover their plate'
Me: 'W T F? i am not having a wedding to make sure i get lots of $$. '
His GF: [whom i nicknamed- 'The Whore' can ya tell i don't like her much?] 'Like i thought that that's information you make sure EVERYONE knows, so like, they know they have to give a certain amount!'
Me: 'That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard...so if I tell you i'm paying $250 a head, you're gonna give me $500? YEAH RIGHT. and NO it's not something you do--you don't just go around telling all your guests how much you spent per person.'
The Whore: 'Oh, like I would do that...just so they know.'

Seriously? ?! what is wrong with them?! Ron needs to come up with a b*tch slap icon.

First, I would like to say 'Very Well Said'

Second, I can not tell you how many people have asked me the same question about 'How much are you paying per head'

And I say 'I AM PAYING ENOUGH'

I am amazed at how many people, friend and family, asked me how much my weddings is costing, cost per person, etc. FH and I are in the process of buying a house and people even have the balls to ask how much the house costs, our mortgage payments, tax, whatever they can think of. People are friggin' weird sometimes.

people are nosy, especially when it comes to $$$.

For example, my FMIL (who is a nice woman, we are not particularly close, but she never sticks here nose in where it doesn't belong) said, when finding out we are having a DJ instead of a band (they are not contributing any $$ to the wedding), that people are going to open their envelopes at the wedding and take out $$!!!!

I was like, are you crazy??? I don't care what people give me, as long as they come and have a good time - and I would never do that to anyone else-you give what you can give, thats that!!!!
