So with less than a week to go to the big day and everything paid and sorted, I thought that this week would be plain sailing. But how wrong could I be?!

Yesterday Chris went back home to his parent's for the day whilst I finished some last few bits and pieces. While he was there, his brother and his girlfriend decided to open their big mouthes and basically slag off our wedding, their main points being the following:

We've been really inconsiderate in picking a date as his brother doesn't get paid till the following week (the same as us I'd like to point out! And also, they've known about this wedding for over a year - a bit of forward planning anyone?!)

That the girlfriend has a nut allergy that she's only just told us about, despite the fact on the RSVPs we asked everyone to state dietary requirements. (Apparently I should have known about this because she came to the hen party. A hen party that I didn't personally organise and therefore didn't know about her allergy)

We're cutting all the 'fun' parts of a wedding out by not having speeches. (Because that is the most important part of the day... No consideration for the fact that my dad doesn't like public speaking and Chris didn't want to do a speech either so we didn't see the point)

I'm just so angry that they didn't have the guts to say it to my face or that if they did have a problem with anything why didn't they say anything earlier rather than a week before?! But anyway, why do they feel it necessary to voice their opinions on this?! They haven't tried to get involved with any of the planning of their own back, so how does that entitle them to chuck in their two cents worth?!

I really want to say something to them, because it's not right what they've said/done. But at the same time, I don't want to cause any unnecessary agro for Saturday. It's just getting on my nerves because god forbid we tell them what we think of them and their choices.

Sorry just needed to rant (Chris has listened to me rant for the past hour and I needed a new audience lol!) x

Ignore them. She's made it difficult for herself by not telling you she has a nut allergy (you're not a mind reader after all) and you can't chose a date to cater to everyone's pay day, that's just stupid! At the end of the day (ow I hate that saying) it is YOUR wedding, who cares if people have don't like certain aspects of your wedding, they can plan their own wedding and tailor it to their tastes. Your wedding is about you and Chris, no one else.

I understand that it would upset you, I'd feel the same if someone close to me said things like that, but just take it with a pinch of salt and carry on as you are. Your wedding will be wonderful!

There is nothing less fun than watching awkward public speakers stood up trying to get through a painfully scripted speech lol.. I'm quite worried about my H2B with his speech as he hates speaking infront of people, but I'm hoping with a bit of bubbly and the emotion on the day that it will flow nicely rather than awkwardly lol..
As for the girlfriend.. She sounds very jealous that your wedding is drawing near.. Just ignore them both and enjoy your magical day xxx

I think she's just jealous and doesn't like the idea of the day being all about you who cares what she think let her get on with it and if she cant be bothered to write on the rsvp that she has a nut allergy then that is her problem she's had plenty of opportunity to let you know about it in the past year. hope you have a wonderful wedding day xx

it sounds like its more the girlfriends problem then your brother in law to be, maybe its a touch of jealousy the fact that your getting married hun. I would just try and let it slide for now as it may cause an atmosphere on your special day if your all at logger heads with each other but maybe after the wedding have a quiet word with them. I wouldnt let them stress you hun you just enjoy your last week of being a miss :) x

Loving CathyrnL33's response!!

Reading this stuff makes me so angry (as I also have people like this to deal with) Why do they suddenly think its ok to make you feel bad about YOUR wedding, and even though you know they are wrong and RIDICULOUS, you still end up questioning things and feeling crappy!...Just ignore her, its plain jealousy and nothing more. Just get excited about Saturday, it will be amazing, and just make sure she stays out of your way!

Happy Wedding countdown :-)
