The Bridal Rant Collection: #1 Reading is Fundamental
While planning a wedding, various people tend to let some crazy things slip out of the their mouths within earshot of the bride. The responses and reactions that spring to your mind, are usually best for you not to say out loud. Trust me, I understand. Do you have any bridal rants? Has anyone said some out of order things to you while planning or during your wedding that you couldn’t respond to? (At least not the way you wanted to. LOL) If so, we’d love to hear about it and help you get it off your chest! Email them to me at mrs.tiye@gmail.com to have them featured here!
Bridal Rant #1 – Reading is fundamental
If I say “Adult Reception”….don’t call me the week before the wedding and whine, “So, you saying I can’t bring my five year old?”
Reading is fundamental.
Also, don’t ask me if your ten year old counts. Can she vote? Can she buy a pack of cigarettes? Adult means adult. At the most, I’ll let you slide with a teenager. What makes you think I want to watch your tween pick over my mostacolli?
It is also bad business for you to engage me in a random conversation about how you don’t know how I expect you to find a babysitter for LilMan and how he’s really no problem. Are you kidding me? First of all, I really need you to go back to the invitation and see whose name is on the pretty embossed ink? Those two people on there, yeah, the bride and groom? Yeah, THEY are who the day is about. Miss me with all that talking about your problems. They are just that: YOUR problems.
And if you really want my opinion I suggest you wait for the DVD. Better yet, go put a call in to cousin LuLu, who also takes issue with my reception requirements, and you two special folk can let your “no problem” kids babysit one another. Whatever you choose to do, I suggest you leave me out of it.
Furthermore, I feel it necessary to point out that it is not the bride’s responsibility to remind you of the venue address, what time the wedding starts, or anything else I PAID to have printed on the invitation that I mailed you. You may also want to refrain from calling me to tell me you’re coming. That’s great news and all, but did you not see the RSVP card in there? That little envelope with the pre-paid postage on it? Who do you think bought that for you, the postal fairy?
Read baby.
Please Read.
Before you make me go bridal.
Too funny, but right on the money, couldn’t have said it better myself! SMH
Thanks MNMH! It is truly amazing what people fix their mouths to bring to the bride. Like it’s “BOFE” our day. LOL No, boo, my day is MY day. We don’t have to compromise about anything that I want. Folks are a trip.
Thank you for saying what so many of us are afraid to say. I love your style!
LOL Never again will I sit quiet while folk run my stuff through the ringer. If I had a nickel for the amount of sheer foolishness I got in comments and “suggestions” from folk five years ago…I’d buy two houses.
LOL!!!! I love the part about reminding someone about something that you PAID to have printed on
Thanks jazzi! YES! I really think people don’t pay attention to the fact that the couple has paid for all that postage, only for these dimwits to turn around and ask you information they have in their hands.
I swear weddings will reveal the idiots like lights turned on in a kitchen of roaches.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!! Stop it- too much and so true!!!!!
I didn’t even get past the 1st few sentences and I was straight rollin’!!! Thank you Mrs. Tiye for posting this!
Thanks for reading my Zimmy! You know how these people do. LOL
Cute! Had to repost on FB cause my family is all about trying to get it done their way! UGH!
HILARIOUS! I so feel her pain & I’m so happy that all of this will be over in 7 days!!! People can be REAL inconsiderate & forget all about the couple.
It’s as if you read my mind and transposed every thought on paper! People really have the audacity to complain, criticize, and haggle about decisions they have no authority over! Leave your Bebe Kids at home- STRICTLY ENFORCED! Don’t get me started on the numerous phone calls from close relatives asking for directions although I spent extra time (and money) on a “directions” insert in the invitations for the Mapquest-challenged. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!
