Tell Me Tuesday

Well, at least it's a short work week for some of you ladies!

 

It's Tuesday, so Tell Me, what's the one thing from your wedding that you could have lived without.  (Besides the stress.)

Re: Tell Me Tuesday

  • I could have lived without my aunt coming into my bridal room right before we were supposed to go out to tell me my grandfather wasn't there. I just cried.

  • I could have done without the dirty dancing and grinding by MIL... eww.
  • I could have done without the bathrooms stopping working & more than 1/2 of my guests bailing within an hour of starting the party. Dont blame them at all, but it still sucked.

  • Could have done without the best man's speech (almost 5 minutes of, "So yeah, I had a speech...and the dog ate it....and yeah, so....um....well, congrats and....yeah.")
  • Could have done without a lot of our guests leaving before the dancing began. Oh well, still enough stayed to make it fun and get good pics.

  • Could have done without the beach traffic making us late to the reception. Could have done without the hotels handicapped stall being broken. Me and my sister and my huge dress stuffed into a regular stall...not fun lol.
  • i could've done without my grandparents being homophobic dickbags and persuading my aunt not to bring her partner of 15+(?) years (i'd give you an actual time they've been together if she'd have come out before 2008 to her family...see cause then i'd know my blood-related aunt for realz AND my other "new" aunt.)

      and you can tell they hit it home late in the game, because she and her SO RSVPed YES.  

    i'm so disappointed.

  • I could've done without my cousin avoiding the family all weekend- even stayed in a different hotel and didn't come to lunch on the wedding day or the OOT brunch Sunday- because her husband (who usually avoids all family functions- why he chose to come to this one is beyond me) is an anti-social jerk-off.  

    I could've also done without a BM's SO taking 2 pain pills before he hit the open bar then got so out of control several people complained to my dad about his poor behavior- including hitting on FI's 15 year old cousin.

  • I could have done without my MIL's daily tantrums the days leading up to and including the wedding.  Yes, you're in a bad place right now and I understand that.  I'm glad you were able to be in attendance for the ceremony.  I did not let you bother me in the slightest.

  • i could have done without my mother's attitude that day. she didn't smile the whole day, and i have 1000 photos that prove it. ugh.
  • I could have done without my dress stretching so much that I was practically holding it up by my hands at the end of the night.
  • I could have done without the limo being an hour late to pick me up and the staff at my venue being large bag of d**sche.
  • I could have done without mil's snarky comments the whole week. 
  • I could have done without two people showing up to the reception with white gowns.

  • I could have done without the pastor making a comment during the message about both of us needing to find jobs.  We're already young-ish, so it made us look really like we rushed into it and/or have no idea what we're getting ourselves into.  Also, DH has a job, and I just moved, so I had to quit my old one... it's not like we're bums or anything.
  • I could have done without the family drama (there was a lot!) and the rain (although it wasn't as bad as some people had-I know I was lucky to get some outside pics), and without feeling so rushed.

  • I could have done without my aunt being all about my two baby cousins and not caring about anyone else!
  • I could have lived without the freezing cold weather and the infinity times 5 things that went wrong the week before the wedding.
    Living our Happily Ever After
    Bio updated 8/6/10 with a few pro pics
  • I could have done without MOH getting mad at her boyfriend during the reception because she thought he was talking too much to one of the other guests.  So the entire night she sat at the table pouting and not talking. 

  • I could have done without H's aunt being a total snob the whole night and trying to make everything about her.  And also could have done without her ripping my head off about the after party as we were doing our bubble exit (and there's many pictures to prove it.)
  • I could have done without my dad changing out of his tux after dinner, which was before our daddy/daughter dance. Not cool, that was my mini meltdown for the day.

  • I could have done without my wee case of bridal brain. I didn't notice my cake stand wasn't underneath the cake until Knibs posted her photos on FB. lol
  • I could have live without my MIL and my SIL.. They were totally the worst part of my wedding but I am proud to say I didn't let them bother me the day of the wedding. The happier I was, the more upset they are, so I was as happy as I could be! I think my MIL was out to sabotage our wedding..Such a sad sad woman. MIL was the cause of the few things that went wrong, so if she didn't exist, things would have turned out better.

  • I honestly can't think of anything.  I feel like if things had gone differently we wouldn't have had the day we had.  We were just grateful to be getting married with everyone that we loved there.

     

    Cue sappy music and Knibs yelling for not answering the question appropriately Big Smile

    I think you get a pass on this one. lol

  • Our best man getting into an accident, totaling out his car on the way to get the flowers.  DH was stressed out about it.  I also could have done without my WP besides 2 not being ready on time.  I swear I have to keep them all in line, on time, otherwise I am not sure where they would have been. 
  • I could have done without having people that weren't helping me get ready or a part of my family or BP being in the bridal suite while we were getting ready.

  • I could have done without one of my bridesmaids. She was rude and didn't help at all. I also could have done without the thunder and dark clouds that began rolling in right before the ceremony started. I was panicking. Luckily, it didn't rain and as soon as the ceremony began the clouds went away :)
  • I could've lived with out people smoking. It meant a bunch of people kept hanging out on the deck/balcony area rather than inside the reception hall to dance with us! Darn smokers!!! >:-O
  • I'm a day late on this one, but I could have done without the A/C breaking right before our reception.

    Or the tornado sirens going off right as I was getting ready to walk down the aisle.

     I could have also done without my mother being late and drunken wedding crashers.

     It's just our luck though. It wouldn't have been our wedding if everything went perfectly :)
