    Hey girls,

    Just wanted a bit of a rant. My auntie (who is the only person in my family from England that I had invited) has cancelled. £45 down the drain! Raging :-(

    Whats more annoying is she hasnt even bothered to contact me, she spoke to my mum (when my mum phoned her!!). My number is on the invitation, so there is no excuse. I cant be bothered with this just now. I already have butterflies in my stomach constantly. I now have uneven table numbers. 2 tables of 6, 1 table of 5 and 1 table of 8. My family are really unsociable. Really really unsociable. So I thought we could sit my family at one table and H2Bs family at another table but now I dont know what to do. I cant have a table of 8 and a table of 5. It'll look like the table of 5 are the rejects. Why are people so inconsiderate! When we are so skint as well, that £45 couldve helped us so much. urrrrrggghhhhhh.

    I would make the tables even and they will have to learn to be more sociable. I've been at many a wedding where I've been sat next to people I don't know and you just have to get on with it.

    I can't wait until 29/06/2013
    The day I marry the man of my dreams!

    bless ya!!!
    I would say sit them where you like, If they cant be social and civil for 2-3 hrs at the meal of the daughter's wedding that would be a very poor show!!!
    Sit them where you like hun x

    Its just my family can be offensive sometimes and I dont want H2Bs family finding out lol. H2Bs family are friendly and good fun but my family are really miserable and have really strong opinions. I dont want them to say anything that would make H2Bs family think I am like them. I mean they arent bad folk, my family but they can come across as a bit pompous and opinionated.....Maybe I am worrying too much?

    Don't worry hun, If needs be, give them a stern warning but if anything did happen/get said etc, it would be kept from you as not to spoil your day
    Ask them all if they can just be friendly and happy on your special day x

    I think you are its your wedding day if anyone misbehaves get the best man to boot them out thats what they are there for.

    everyone should be on there best behaviour and if your family and his family don't get on then they don't have to see each other again do they?

    Thats true, I could just move a couple of people over and then it would be 3 tables of 6 and one of 7? That would be ok wouldnt it? Anyone know if the venue will let me use the extra money for something else?

    I emailed our wedding planner to ask if it could be put towards my hotel room for the evening before but a guy emailed me back as its her day off. He said no but his english is really bad. I didnt really get the email he sent. He sent me into a panic saying we couldnt get into the room on friday to set up! I was like WHAT??! we arranged when we first booked the room to have it from Friday afternoon to prepare it (We have nobody helping us at all so we want as long as poss to prepare). So anyways he got the room wrong. Its the other suite thats booked. I am gunna wait till the girl we have been dealing with is back at work and speak to her as the other guy doesnt seem to know what he is talking about. I dont know if they'll let us use the money for something else though.....or even put it behind the bar or something. I dont mind where but Id rather it was used for something rather than just forfeited :-(
