we've turned into THOSE people

One of Ben's coworker/friends is getting married in early October. They sent out the invites a couple of months ago - a bit early, I thought, but what do I know, they might have a lot of people coming in from out of town or something. Anyway, there wasn't an rsvp card so I told Ben to call or email him to rsvp for us.

Two weeks ago, Ben forwards me an email from his friend - "Hey are you guys coming to the wedding? We need to get a head count for the caterers." I rolled my eyes at Ben and asked him why he hadn't already rsvp'd, then told him to answer right away with a yes and an apology for not replying sooner (having been on the other end, I know it must have been annoying for the bride).

Tonight, the friend shows up at our house to politely ask if we would be attending the wedding. Yup, Ben STILL hadn't rsvp'd. 

We're THOSE people. Embarrassed

Re: we've turned into THOSE people

  • Haha, oh no!  Don't worry about it too much.  I'm sure it was annoying for them, but she'll see that when you're married sometimes it's a choice between trusting YH and becoming Those People, or acting like That Wife.  You know, the one who is constantly nagging "Did you take care of that thing?  Did you do it?  Is it done yet?"  Stick out tongue

  • Ahhhh the fine line between "Those People" and "That Wife".  I struggle with it myself.  Don't worry Lisa, we all know you're not "Those People".  Wink  Isn't that all that matters?
  • Ah, remember those days of annoying rsvpers? If only we'd known a back story for them too. They'd be way less annoying then. LOL!
  • even better - MH decided on Friday that he didn't want to travel to his friend's wedding (3 hrs away) on Saturday.  I told him HE was going to call and cancel b/c I certainly wasn't going to do it at that late date to that poor girl! I still don't think they've spoken to us, and it's been several years.  Not that I blame them!
  • MH has done this more times than i can count Stick out tongue  i just go ahead and rsvp for us now Stick out tongue

    This.  I've even become "That Friend's Wife"!  We're going to a wedding next weekend and DH's single male friend has not RSVP'd and instead just asked DH to let these people know next time he sees them (which is the day after tomorrow).  I got on his case yesterday.  I've only been in the country for 3 days and I'm already the annoying wife of a friend!!

  • Oh this is so something my DH would do... The other day he asked if I mailed the paperwork to our mortgage company (we're selling our condo)... um NO I told you to sign it and  mail it and that was 3 weeks ago! MEN!! Can't live with em, can't make babies without em!
