Etiquette

I’m reading on etiquettehell.com and I’ve noticed that a lot of these bridezilla and guestzilla tales are just awful! After reading some of these stories, I’m worried that I will have these awful guests at my wedding or I will become that crazed bride that becomes of everyones jokes. I’m nowhere near out of control, however my fiance’s family is and I have this odd feeling that anything I do will make me a bridezilla in their eyes… Do you guys have any of your own bridezilla or guestzilla stories that you would like to share?

Not yet! I am making my bridesmaids survival kits, though, and putting in anti-bridezilla stuff as a joke, in addition to practical stuff.

My FMIL is a bit of a mother in law zilla at times, though! For my in laws wedding, she insisted that my sister in law have someone available to do everyone’s hair and makeup if they wanted it done. All of that a month before the wedding.

Phantom of the Opera

Don’t get me wrong, the movie is great but I have a hard time visualizing it as a wedding. Not that it can’t be done.

How popular is it really? I have never seen or heard of this before. But I was skimming through the wedding boards at etiquettehell.com and there’s one woman whose mother is insistent that it is one of the most popular wedding themes and that she has seen tons of them. I would have thought seasonal themes would have been more popular but who knows. LOL
I’m sure one would be beautiful and fun if someone did have one. But I didn’t realize they were near as popular as this woman was claiming.

Someone asked for ideas for a phantom of the opera theme wedding a while ago. I really would love to go to one.

It’d be easy to make into a masquerade and would be amazing. I’ve never seen one.

Seasonal themes are popular. But that doesn’t mean other themes can’t be done. Mine is seasonal and then asian-themed sort of (with like Indian, Japanese, and Tibetan influences).

if you dont choose any of the ones offered you go nakee

Cindarella's Ugly sister

Oh God, what did I do wrong? Why am I in Hell? LOL!

If I had absolutely no choice…I would have to say the first one with a brown bag with eyeholes cut out over my head. The magenta one with the criss cross not with the gold overlay…WAIT WAIT WAIT!!! Just realized Nakey was an option…Nakey it is

I was reading on www.etiquettehell.com and found a few terrible but funny stories.

"I have remained on friendly terms with my ex-boyfriend "Steve" since we broke up about 12 years ago. (I got married 3 years ago; Steve came to our wedding and my husband had no problem with it.) Steve recently became engaged and will be getting married in 2 months. Last month, he called to tell me that his fiancée (who I have not met) had forbidden him to invite me to the wedding because I might "still have some influence over him". No problem. I disagree with her logic, but I’m not going to tell her who she should invite to her own wedding.
Well, last week I received an invitation to Steve and "Jean’s" wedding. I was initially delighted, thinking that Jean had reconsidered, until I opened it and found that someone had marked a big black "X" across the invitation and written "You’d better not come" on the response card!"
Why do you think people do these things? Is it because they are horrible people or just too stupid and ignorant to know any better??
Here is another funny one:

“Get a load of this pre-wedding announcement. It was delivered via my mailbox at work. I thought I had seen it all, but this takes the cake.

"Dear Friends of ‘Elmer’ and ‘Gladys’: Our wedding will be a small but poignant affair held at a log home in the woods in beautiful southern Wisconsin. Due to the physical nature of the wedding area, there will not be enough space for all the friends and relatives we would dearly love to invite. "After pondering a number of alternatives, we decided that a lottery would be the most equitable manner of dealing with the space/disappointment problem. We have, indeed, already held this lottery with your name included, but alas, it is our sad duty to inform you that your name does not appear on the winners list. Nevertheless, our good wishes go out to you, and when our gift from you arrives at the address below, we will thank you in absentia.

With regrets and respect, ELMER SMITH AND GLADYS JONES"

Here’d be my response:

Dear Elmer and Gladys:

Thank you for the wedding announcement. Due to a lack of funds and a plethora of events and functions this year, we utilized a "lottery" system to determine which we would be providing gifts for. Unfortunately, your event has not appeared on the winner’s list. We are sure you understand and we will remember you fondly while shopping for those who were more fortunate in the draw.

Your friends,
