18 weeks to go and we are fed up with people being so negative and complaining about our wedding, We have tried so hard to please everyone, including changing the venue for the reception three times. We have had people complaining about the distance to be travelled, the hotel costing too much (£65.00 per room incl breakfast) and people telling us what cake and flowers we should have. We are now having the reception at Peterborough Greyhound Stadium (thought it would be different!!) and now people are moaning about that. Will be glad when it is all over. We should have just gone away and got married and then come back and told everyone!!

Moan over!!!

Just do what you both want,and if the rest dont like it ...tough.
If you dont do what you both want, you will kick yourself later.

Jackie & Malc - its your wedding not theirs!!! Whos paying for it?? if its you, then ignore them (easier said than done l know).

They need to remember how it was for their wedding - did they have people saying this that and the other.

You enjoy it and do what you want:o)))
You've both had enough to worry about!!

take care
jude :o) xx

Jackie, it's YOUR wedding day, it should be what and where you want it. It's not up to other people and quite frankly, if they can't be bothered to make an effort for you and be happy for you then they are not worth running around after anyway.

You have YOUR day, and enjoy it. Make it a day for YOU TWO to remember. Tough luck on the others.

We are paying for it, including the coach to take everyone to the dogs and back!!

Even had guests telling me what flowers they want in their corsages!! they all want different things.

Now the big debate is whether I should wear my wedding dress to the reception or not. I would go naked but I don't want to frighten the dogs!!

I agree with Jude. Do what YOU want to do - don't bother telling anyone what you're doing or where you're having it - send them an invitation - they can either come or not!!!

In reality it has absolutely nothing to do with anyone else - YOUR wedding, YOUR choice.

Remember the old song-'You can't please everybody, so you might as well please yourself' LOL

Thats an idea.....tell them if they dont stop moaning and accept what you want, you'll run away and nobody will get to go lol

How very dare they!!! Who the hell do they think they are!! They are invited guests and should be glad they are. Your wedding, your choice - full stop.
You just concentrate of having a beautiful day - it's your day, both of you, and I'm sure your happiness will shine through and wipe out all the negativity

Begger everyone else, its your wedding.

If they cant make it because this or that aint right, then its their loss.

Start living life for yourselves, and please yourselves.

Remember it doesnt matter what colour the flowers are, or the venue, or the cake if its just so, all you will have is eyes for each other and that all that matters

Jackie and Malc..............

'People' ' are turning the most important day of your lives into a living hell....tis up to you to turn the tables......

Personally I would disappear, get married quietly and treasure being man and wife...
because at the end of the day you are the only two persons who matter.

I wish you a long and loving life together.

ps wear your wedding dress to the reception, make the most of it, youre hardly going to wear it again

I kept mine on all day, about 1am we were driving back to harlow (we had our wedding in Edmonton because of family) there was me squashed in the front seat with full wedding dress when a police car pulled upside ours at the lights..the coppers smiled and waved lol...what a memory !
