You want to talk about stress!!!
I seriously can not believe how inconsiderate some people are. And this is family! The people i thought would never give me stress, but then again i shouldn't be surprised.
(i seriously can not wait to just be alone with FH after the wedding and not have to deal with anyone else's BS![]()

So, we hired our limo's for 4 hours. the min was for 3 hours and we included the 4th hour to give o urselves extra time. I got the Rolls Royce (RR) for my dad and I and then I got the escalade to come pick us up at my house (this limo would be picking up my mom, grandmother and all of the BM's and my 2 FG's)
now just for some background, my sister got married 2 years ago and my parents are moderately religious and were very upset that she got married at the RH and not in a church. When she arranged for transportation, she obvi had the limo pick us up at our house and then pick them up at the end of the night to take them home. I went home with FH Who was not given ANY transportation to and from anywhere. so since he had to drive himself to their RH, we drove home by ourselves. I said fine, no problem. JUst as an FYI - my sisters in-laws paid for their entire half of the wedding which was more than 3/4 of the wedding since we have no family in this country and she only had 1 table on her side of the family (i will also have only 1 table) My parents also h helped and contributed to their wedding. So basically, they only had to pay for some vendors (which, not to be mean, but they kind of skimped on, but again, whatever)
Now fast forward to me like 2 months ago. I reminded my parents that I am only have the limo pick us u p from my house to the church and that's it! i'm sorry, we are paying for this entire wedding ourselves with no help from anyone. We are spending about $68K on the wedding and no one offered to help us. I had told them to let my BIL (who is a GM) drive my dad's car since its a big truck, to the church the day of the wedding so they would have a way home at the end of the night. The flipped out saying how can you expect us to drive to your wedding that night and come home, its our daughters wedding day, how about it we wanted to drink and we are going to be tired. When FH told his parents, they said no problem, we'll drive ourselves there and back at the end of the night. When I mentioned this to my sister, she threw it in my face that she got our parents transportation to go home and when i mentioned to her that she didn't get us transportation she had nothing to say and switched back to how she got our parents a ride home. My parents told me not to worry about it like 2 days later.
Now cut to 2 days ago. We went to drop off the final payment to the limo and give them all the info. I again, remind my parents about how will they be getting around from the church to FH's parents house (where they will have light refreshments for anyone who would like to stop by until the CH begins) and then from their house to the RH. my mother was like OMG all annoyed and proceeded to complain about how i am getting married in a church and this is so inconvenient - this from the same people who had a problem with my sister NOT getting married in a church! They had ended up looking at some kind of car service to get home that night which they will still have to do but how will they get around that day? i have no clue.
I am seriously so annoyed and upset over this stupiest thing! FH's parents are willing to really help us out and drive - which is not a big deal since they only live 10 min away from the RH but my parents are acting like effing royalty and expect to be catered to. I'm sorry, I don't have another 600 to chauffer you around that day too.
If you even read all of this, thank you and congrats.

OH! and i almost forgot, my BM's were supposed to all come to my house to take pics, but now instead of telling me, they call FH and say they might not be able to do that because they have to feed a baby (who is a FG) at the time of arrival. ***!!!!!!!! i sent all of you an e-mail yesterday about the timeline. if you had a problem with it, why did you call FH? why not just call me? and why did you wait until like 10pm to tell me this?? i'm sorry, i am not asking you to do this every sunday of the year, its one day for christ sakes! suck it up and feed the baby earlier and you'll be fine.
