I got chatting to the little sister of a friend today and I'm so bloody wound up after it!
She's just got engaged so we were chatting about weddings. I said we were having a late ceremony so not having a sit down meal (just to save costs as we have 100 for ceremony so would have been 6000+ for sit down).
She turned round and said 'but everyone's going to starve! who'd want to go to a wedding where there's no food!?' and I was like, there's canapes and the food in the evening so no one's going to go hungry! And she went off on a rant about saving money by starving our guests and how she's having a 4 course sit down meal, buffet and then chips at 1am.

Usually I wouldn't mind, I don't care for people grandstanding but she is 18, never had a job and her mum and dad are paying for the entire thing! How dare she go at me for trying to save money on my wedding when she isn't even paying for her own! Stupid, naive little tw*t living in her stupid bubble!

Ahhh how annoying! How dare she comment on your wedding like that. Ignore her, you do your wedding your way. If you don't want a sit down meal, you don't have to have one.

hahahaha!! you summed it up with your last sentance hun!

She's 18, and with the odd exception, most 18-year old girls won't have had the life experience to understand the true value of money.

Ignore her. She knows nothing.

my sister had a later wedding for that reason she didn't even have canapés just an evening buffet and we were all fine we had lunch before the wedding she didn't get married till 3pm think the buffet came out about 7ish can't remember as i ended up at the hospital with my daughter and missed most of the reception lol

Millz your definitely one of the few exceptions to the rule! I know that I was one of the few when I was 18 and unfortunately 18year olds with a real value for money is an increasingly rare thing! I know that 99% of my friends didn't (and some still don't) have the foggiest!

Tigerlilli there's no pleasing some people and you know all the effort you've put in your wedding thinking of all the little aspects and making sure everyone will have a good time, so just give her something shiny to look at her, because she's clearly still an immature child. You have a great day and don't listen to people like her

Haha i love what you said at the end hun! I know a few people id love to say that too!

Its your day hun! Dont let anyone put it down!

How rude! What's it got to do with her. You're feeding your guests later and if you're having a late ceremony you'd be rushing to fit a sit down meal into the day with everything else. I went to a late wedding last year and by the time the meal was out, the speeches done, cake cut, first dance done they put the buffet out and nobody touched it for hours because it was too soon after eating. I think I had a few sandwiches later that had gone crusty from sitting there. Surely your guests aren't going to starve themselves all day so they'll be more than happy come buffet time. I wish we'd left our ceremony until later to save money.

4 oclock in September?? Ooooh you might be getting some gorgeous natural lighting at that time! Soo jealous!!

Wat a tramp
