Wedding Related Drama

[Tinkerbelle14]

I thought I would do this poll for everyone who is planning their wedding and has experienced some kind of drama. That way we know we aren't alone!

Is there such a thing as a drama free wedding?

 

[robinb]

Yes, there was drama at my wedding. The police were called!

I figured that would be the point of the poll. I think whenever you experience tense moments, while planning your wedding, you think that you're alone. This way we can see that we all get to experience this "fun" part of planning your dream wedding!

I just went through and filled out my wish list - and went $10,000 over budget. Not sure if that qualifies for drama, but it sure was depressing! We're pretty sure that we want our reception at American Adventure and the package we got in the mail said we'd have to use disney floral and decor (2 areas I thought I could save some money.) Back to the cost-cutting board...

By the time ours rolled around the drama was over, but for DBIL's wedding 5mos before...BIG drama.

there was a bit of drama during the planning of our wedding. my DSIL was butting in on what we should have for our wedding. it was quite annoying when she tried to take over the plans.

No drama YET - but a lot can happen in the next 5 months!!

I have had so much pre planning drama, there has been a stink about is getting married at Disney MIL 2B wanted it at a church in her hometown w/ all of her friends, then there is the fact the he has 20 kids under the age of 5 in his family that are poorly behaved and 5 of them will be under 2 and 2 will be brand new.Then the date we selected was not right, his brother has something big in his life happening earlier and he thought we selected the date to irriate him, when actually it is a long weekend and happens to be my grandmothers birthday who passed away 2 years ago. I chose disney so I would not have to have all kind s of stress, btu I have had before I have even started planning. Oh then no one wants to stay in the resorts we have selected they want to stay all over the place. Then my MOH came to me 2 wks ago and said she does not think she can afford to go......needless to say I have had mild migraine headaches w/ facial numbness for the last 3 wks. Hope you are not in the same position as me.

allisonswonderland...this sounds really familar to me. I know that I have been going through the exact same thing and wanted a Disney wedding for the same reasons. I am not sure if I had unrealistic expectations or not, but it definately isn't working out like I planned, and that has dampened the whole thing for me. I am leaving next week for Disney for our planning session. I am just going to try and enjoy myself the best that I can and get a little of that pixie dust back. I have a little over 5 months, and then it will be over. Just realize that you and I are leading parrellel lives, and I am here if you need to talk.

Well - there was drama when...DH's Great Aunts sent the STD back unopened and marked refused and told DH's mother that we had ruined Mickey Mouse for them.
Then my grandmother disowned me and sent her invitation back with a note saying that our "so called wedding is a production and not a catholic marriage and I won't give it legitimacy by attending".
My mother stopped talking to me 3 months before the wedding and told me my marriage was doomed for failure because we weren't getting married in a church. She came around about a week before the wedding, and after our wedding ceremony she couldn't stop gushing about how wonderful it was.
We had to reorder the invitations for the wedding because after they were printed my mother decided she didn't want my parents names on them since our wedding was not going to be in a church.
My MIL pretty much flat out refused to talk to anyone about our wedding, wouldn't tell them where we registered or anything. So we ended up with lots of useless gifts, and a much smaller guest list because she kept insisting all these people were coming, and they ALL RSVP'd no.

I have an addition....I spoke to my bridesmaid in Texas and she was hospitalized last week for a puliminary embolism, which is very typically fatal immediately, thank goodness she is ok! How devestating to lose a friend so tragicly, she has 2 kids. I am glad I did not know until after it happend or else that would have sent me over the edge!

oh boy did I have drama. Only a month before our disney wedding which is suppose to be only 4 days from now. My fiance decided he did not want to get married at Disney... (family influence - is all I am going to say). Now we are getting Married here in Ft Worth, Tx (on the same day and time).. They all thought we could save money by having the wedding here at home, but now its actually costing us the same plus we can only afford to go away on a 3 day honeymoon rather than the 5-6 day that we planned on... I just can't wait until saturday when its all over and done with. No more wedding planning for me.

 

[cryssi]

all I have to say is that I lost about 15 lbs due to wedding stress...um, is that a good thing? LOL

 

[FutureAshleyDukes]

Blah, I don't even want to revisit mine considering I had to cancel my wedding because of it. I'm just hoping that it won't be as major this time around, and if not....... then I will be happy to die alone with a house full of cats!

My drama was pretty simple but drama none the less - the bridesmaid dress I had ordered for my MoH came back from the design house as a completey different dress - the bridal shop had given them the wrong code and then the design house had stopped not only making that design but using the colour I had chosen. Luckily my MoH loved the dress and as we had not chosen my Junior BM's dress yet we managed to get one of the shops examples and they hacked it into a dress that would suit her. They made they adjustments to my MoH's dress at no charge because they had obviously screwed up. I think I was lucky that this was my only drama

LOL although on the wedding day one of our guests took the wrong meal and Disney obviously hadn't made enough so this left another one of our guests not too happy about not having a filet - Paul and I cracked up as it was the one guest that we knew would gripe about it, yet at the same time make a big joke about it - needless to say Disney cooked him another filet real quick and my EM was shocked that Paul and I found it so funny and were so calm LOL Just before the ceremony this same guest's chair had broken when he sat on it - poor guy wasn't having a good day, but we were

Mine is about the same drama as allisonswonderland. My grandma is not coming, we even offered to pay for her and my grandpa, but she still declined. I believe she is mad I am not getting married at our church. My goddaughters family (although very very weathly) is not coming and she was suppose to be my flowergirl (it broke her heart we'd been planning that forever), they say they are having money issues, whatever!!! Now things are really weird in a family that used to be so close!
Again just alot of stink from MY family because im getting married at WDW, but no drama thankfully from DH2B's family (yet?)!! Goodluck girls!!!
