Another of seun's wedding threads...

...except this one's a rant with sweary words...

Our wedding is a relatively small one. We've got just under 30 people coming to the registry office, then to a meal in a hotel. A couple of hours after the meal, we've got a reception in the hotel for extended family and friends. This has been the plan for about a year. With a week to go, I find out various complete fuckwits think they're OK to mess us about by not coming to the reception (and letting us find out through a third party) or assuming their partner is invited to the meal or not bringing their kids to the reception or assuming we don't mind if they bring their newborn baby to the ceremony or still not telling us what they want to eat in the meal.

All of these issues either cost us money we simply don't have or (in the case of the baby) piss us off. Apologies for sounding like a grumpy bastard, but the last thing I want on the most important day of my life is a screaming, shitting machine in the corner.

and breathe...

We'd arranged for kids at the reception and a few people said they'd bring theirs so we upped the amount we were spending on the buffet. Not a big deal. We obviously knew people would want to eat. But to then find out some of those with kids had changed their minds, then to find this out through someone else...

Thought about calling them but to be honest, I've got enough to do without chasing people to tell them what I already told them.

I'll just have to do my best to keep calm and not tell these people I think they're a bunch of rude bastards and I'd be happier if they all fucked off.
