Hayz- how are you doing?

[Shawna Bride]

If I'm not mistaken, your wedding is coming up very very quickly! With mine 6 weeks away, I can't imagine how you're feeling.
Let us know how you're doing and if there's anything you need.

Thanks for thinking of me.
I've just had a bit of a run in with a friend so I'm not the happiest at the moment, and I'm still down in the dumps anyway (see thread 'Whats wrong with me')

Her husband cant make it to the wedding due to previous commitments and she has asked if she could bring someone else. I've said no as FH and I decided right from the start that there would be no 'and guest'.
She won't be the only one thats coming by themselves anyway, so if she gets to bring someone then they should be able to bring someone too and I want to keep it as small as possible.
She doesn't see what the big deal is and says she won't know anyone and will be lonely. Thats not true cos she will know others and will be able to hang out with them.
I told her that I'm sick of people hasseling me about MYwedding and if she doesn't like it I can cross her off the list.

Its not fair. Its supposed to be OUR day and people should respect what we want and not be selfish and think only of themselves.
They should just feel privilege to have been invited. It would have been a lot easier and definately a heck of a lot less stressful if we had invited nobody!!!

I'm sorry to hear you're still feeling kinda crummy. It's tough having to make those decisions about guests. I can't imagine what i will do when it gets to be that point for us.
Hope everything gets better soon! Keep us posted!

I hate to admit it, but before I started planning my own wedding I was completely oblivious to what it takes to have a wedding. I think I was one of those people who thought "why can't I bring a guest, it's only 1 more person." But one more person plus one more person plus one more person equals another few hundred dollars. Some people just have no clue. Plus, we don't want people at our wedding that we don't know, right? It's our wedding to enjoy with our friends and families, not strangers.
Keep your head up and remember that you don't have to make anyone happy other than yourself.

I love the way you handled that with your friend. I cant understand why people think they can "bully" a bride into doing what they want.
Good Luck......
