Random wedding rant...

So our wedding was in October- almost 7 months ago to the date. 

 3 are our good friends we see regularly- like 3-4 times a month didn't give us a card or any type of gift or acknowledgement when we got married.  They all did, however take full advantage of the 6 hour open bar and enjoyed themselves to the point of 2 of them throwing up in the hall and outside of the hall.  Those 2 had to be escorted out by 2 of my uncles-kind of embarrassing that 2 30 year olds couldn't even handle themselves at a family event, but whatever. 

 All 3 keep telling us every time we see them, oh I have your wedding card. And make  a big deal about it.  I say really it's ok.  You didn't have to do anything.  But thinking  - Ok so if you have our wedding card, drop it in the mail already and stop telling me 4 times a month for  7 months about it.  If you are just saying it to make yourself feel better that you didn't get us a gift, just stop already, because I don't care at this point! We've been to their houses as well, and when we are there, it is NEVER mentioned.   

  I'm not trying to sound like a brat, but I am so sick of hearing it every weekend!  I don't even want the gift at this point. I just want them to shut up about it.  That's that.  Now just shut up already about it! 

Ugghhhh...bad day!  Thanks for letting me vent.

Re: Random wedding rant...

  • well... i don't know if it'll help.... but we are totally that couple.    it takes us a while to get a gift, and then once we do, we always forget to bring it with us when we see them.   we don't like actually bringing gifts to weddings.  i worry i'll lose it or it'll get lost in the shuffle of things or i feel bad for whoever has to haul gifts around after the reception.   but we always come through in the end, even if its a year later.   :)    

    but i agree that its annoying they keep bringing it up again and again.   just drop it until you bring it with you!

  • I say invite yourself over to their house and pick that dusty card up! You deserve it :)
  • p.s. Don't forget to mix yoursef a couple of drinks while you're there too.
  • Sorry but I agree with you, they should totally stop talking about it and either give the gift/card or don't!
  • hey girl!  What's up?  That is completely frustrating.  I would bring it up next time you're over.  "So where is this wedding card I hear about so much!"  Said with an innocent smile.
