Best Friends Wedding - whinge #1

[feeb]

wow I must have been slack bride!!!

My 3 girls tryed on dressers seperatly and ordered them and I picked them all up and they got altered where they wanted if needed.

Hens night 2 of my 3 were good enought to have lots of in put in (I organised a lot of it as I knew where I wanted etc)

we had no rehersal dinner.

The matron of honour, bridesmaids had all met before, and the best man and groomsman were all great friends anyway.

So dont feel bad at not going to everything especially as anniversary!

my fiancee is south african and my father lives in perth. my father is meeting my dp 2 days before we tie the knot lol and ill meet his family from south africa about 2 weeks before the wedding.
i have 1 bridesmaid (my sister) and dp has his cousin being best man. thats it! both my mum and dad will give me away and the ceremony and reception are at the same location. we r NOT having anything fancy like ur friend. i think its a bit over the top actually. i dont blaim u actually for not going to alot of her parties, id rather spend the extra money on a house

Its a little over the top, if thats how weddings are "supposed" to be then im glad im eloping! and no way should you feel bad for missing the celar party, your wedding anniversary is really important!

It does seem a bit extravagant but you have to remember that the bride and groom only get married once (hopefully) and it should be a special occasion. On the other hand I really think i'd be p*ssed off with how much time of mine it's taking up......

Best of luck with the teeth grinding

Sounds pretty extravagant to me! Hell, I don't even know what a Cellar party IS! I wouldn't attend either if it was my wedding anniversary....not that I'd even use that as an excuse.

Obviously your best friend is very excited about getting married and wants to share as much of all of it with as many people as she can. That's OK I guess, each to their own. I guess being there with her at the important bits is what should really count to her in the end

Jeeeez, a wedding lunch after the wedding? What happened to the newly married couple vanishing for a few days/weeks the day after their wedding for some sexy-fun time together? XD

For bridemaids fittings we had 1, that was to measure them... the lady made up the dresses and I picked them up the week before the wedding. Gave them to the girls who tried them on 2 days before the wedding... luckily they fitting!

Hens night, both my bridemaids couldn't make it! Which was fine, I was 6 months pregnant and not really in for a huge night anyway...

I guess though, each to their own. Everyone has a different wedding day and wants to celebrate it in a different way and share/remember different things... it's just unfortunate for those of us who are not the bride/groom! I would be a bit peeved too, but just keep in mind that it will all be over eventually
