OMG definitely don't let her be the reason your pastor won't marry you!!! I'd get the FHs to talk to each other soon!

View quoted message Thanks Becky! We had lots of prizes donated, a friend of ours is making the playlist and we have some making platters for the food. I think it will be a success, it's just always stressful before an event like this Haha it will be a good party either way 🙂

This time of year people want to get out- don't let them get you down! You guys got this and it will be a hit since its not an every day thing where you are from. Just get some raffles, good dj, have music, late night lunch and your set!

Wow that is awesome! It is such a big weight lifted off your shoulders from having vendors paid off!

I really hate hearing stories of bridal party members who are such a pain in the butt during these days. Honestly, this is one of the reasons why we didn't end up having a stag and doe. No one was really jumping up and down about the idea of having one, and we didn't want the stress.

At the end of the day you guys had a great time, and raised a good chunk of money! That is the best outcome, even if your wedding party was not as involved.

Wooo ! Sounds like an amazing time!

I'm glad it was a success. My social is in just under two weeks now, I'm hoping it will be a success as it is not something that is normally done is SK. But I've already had some trouble with the bridal party. I think some of them don't believe it is a good idea (like most people in SK seem to think). But I don't think that should matter. We would support them with whatever they wanted if they were getting married. But I'm trying to get everything done this week if I can, so last night I sent out a message saying I was working on a schedule for everyone (selling drink tickets and raffle tickets etc). They all read it and still took a few hours before the first person replied. Then my fiance sent a message asking if everyone read it because it's crunch time now and two more replied. But that is still only 3 out 7 (the 8th is bartending for the night so I don't expect him to reply). So I might just write the schedule and put them anywhere that needs someone.

It honestly has been, I want to wait a week like Tori said and get my FH to talk to them because I thought the same thing about the wedding. We are also getting married in a church- she is supposed to get ready with me but I cant stop her from drinking- she won't listen. The pastor said if he sees any signs of intoxication from wedding party- he will think he would have drank and won't marry us. He is a more relaxed pastor but I don't want her to screw up this as we have spent so much!

Thanks Tori- I thought the same about cooling off before said anything. I am honestly soo happy about how we did and want to focus on all the positive. Only 4 of us set it all up because everyone who had kids said it was hard with babysitters and how far they were from us. Once announced that we would just do it people got upset but even with a new time give they still all showed up 30 minutes late. All I can say is I am thankful for all the people in the wedding party who did help out and give their all!

Glad to hear it was a success! it's nice to be able to pay some things off

I'm glad your stag and doe was a success, even though your wedding party wasn't stepping up.

I feel like you've put up with so much BS from the one girl you keep having problems with - I would've cut her a long time ago, even though your FH and her FH are good friends (I'm thinking of the right one I think!).

Also, if I remember correctly, it sounds like her relationship with alcohol is not healthy and she's fallen into alcoholic territory - what's stopping her to being passed out at your wedding 45 minutes after the bar opens? I'd even talk with her FH about your concerns with her alcoholism and maybe intervene if it's getting that bad. She might not know she's hurting the people around her until something is said.

As for your sister, it definitely hurts when your blood relative says mean things. I agree with Tori and wait a week and give both of you time to cool off. She may have gone off and it not have anything to do with you - she could've just been in a really bad mood that day. In a week, I'd talk to her about how hurt you were with her comments and go from there.

I'm happy it was such a success!!

Unfortunately even at my Wedding Social we had bumps in the road from our wedding party. My FH's Dad was suppose to be selling tickets when we opened but he showed up 15 min. late and too intoxicated to help more than stamp peoples hands, one GM showed up just as we finished setting up even though he said he would be there to help - and then he left early with his GF who needed to go to the hospital because she didn't feel well.... she could have gone alone or with her parents but ok whatever, then two other GM finished selling 50/50 tickets and didn't want to sell more because the roll was done - luckily a BM grabbed a roll and forced them to keep going.

Overall things are going to be done and said that have no place happening at all and it's disrespectful and annoying and I get it. The only thing I would say is that you should give yourself about a week to cool off and see how you feel then. Not just a day or two.
