Am I being over-sensitive?

Wifeysoontobe, 11 October, 2010 at 13:09 Posted on Planning 0 13

Hi All, I'm not expecting a reply, just need to vent!

My work colleagues and I were just discussing in general songs we like/dislike - I said I disliked "Build me Up Buttercup" and "Loveshack" as they are massively overplayed - although I understand my opinion is not shared by all! One of my colleagues said "Oh you won't be having those songs at your wedding then" to which I replied no - another colleague who was earwigging our conversation then piped up "Oh, your wedding going to be REALLY good then isnt it" (being sarcastic) and "you need to think of other people!"

Is it just me, or was this comment really rude? I try and limit talking about my wedding at work as much as possible as I am not inviting some of my other colleagues. However, this woman who made the comment I am inviting, now seriously having doubts!!

Sorry to rant, just upset me a bit.

    Wow what a cow! Ultimate cheese may be her kinda thing, but if its not yours, why should you have it played on your BIG DAY? Its really hard when you invite work people, my H2B doesnt like my gay work best friend and doesnt want him to come! But maybe if she's going to keep making sarcy comments, tell her not to bother coming if its not her kinda thing!

    Yes, she was rude. But it will be her sitting in the corner complaining about the music, not you, so just ignore her. It's your wedding and you have the right to ban certain songs from the playlist, and if she doesn't like it she can lump it.

    (PS I agree with you - way overplayed!)

    Cheeky ?!

    I would have said something like, 'Oh, I am, that's why I'm not inviting rude people!'?

    As they say - have it how you want it! I personally like a bit of cheesy stuff but I would never make that comment to anyone!!

    I'd think twice (even three times) about inviting her to your wedding.

    You have every right to have the music you like.... cheeky mare!! I am having our reception in the my parents local village hall and have been saying if you are going to be fussy about wine and drinks etc you can bring your own, I also dislike parties so the plan is to go to the pub at about 10 and if anyone doesn't like it they can lump it quite frankly!

    Nope your not being over-sensitive - that was down right rude of them!!

    But I would try and let it float over your head - she is right, we (as wedding planners) do need to consider our guests, but not to the pain where we dislike whats happening!

    I went down to our lounge for a coffee on a break from teaching the other day to find a delegate who WASNT EVEN GETTING MARRIED saying she thought church weddings were tacky and over-played!! Nice, thanks, I'll tell that my vicar shall I?

    No not being oversensitive, she was rude. I went to a wedding where all "cheese" was banned, we still had a fab time. Of course music is important, but I don't see how not having those songs in particular will ruin the wedding? Ignore her. Everyone has an opinion on your choices when you're getting married, whether you asked for it or not - this is something I'm discovering more and more! x

    Yeah, that is fairly uncalled for - rude moo.

    If your DJ is worth his bill he'll be able to keep the dancefloor filled with no cheese!

    I banned The Macarana (sp?) from the evening do but the ex Mr SP got it played for his mate. I was well miffed! Particularly as the dance floor had been bursting with folk all night, and when that came on it ended up with just a few hard core 'got to dance to this' twits doing all the moves....

    Hi All, thanks for all the replies, you all made me feel so much better and not as crazy as I originally thought!! I ended up telling my h2b about it and he shrugged like it didnt even matter....but I'm glad you all agree with me on this one, I'm just beginning to realise that some people are so rude when it comes to etiquette especially when it comes to weddings, a part of me wishes I didn't have to invite anyone I work with, but I know my life wouldn't be worth living otherwise!

    Thanks to all of you, made me feel better! Smiley smile xxx

    I dont do girl politics - but there is a point here

    Yes have the music you want, but yes also choose music that you feel will get your guests up and dancing and enjoying themselves too. Would you all like to go to a wedding that played old school rap all night - not likley - just because the groom likes old-school rap, and was into break-dancing doesn't mean everyone else likes it for more than a few mins

    Your wedding reception is all about you, but if you respect your guests, you will get even greater enjoyment when you see them enjoying themselves

    Play what YOU want.

    And I agree, I like those songs myself, but they are massively overplayed, and actually as I think about it I'm not sure I'd want them either because they are just too overplayed, like being at an average cheesy disco.

    I despise chavvy RnB and Rap. I don't allow it in my house or my car, and I certainly won't allow it at my wedding.

    She is definatley being rude! those songs wont be featured in my wedding either and from what you have written it doesnt lead me to think you are not considering your guests, yes it is important to make sure everyone enjoys themselves but surely there will be plenty of other songs that you can and probably will be playing that both you and your guests enjoy!

    I would have been very tempted to make the same comment to her as Mynnie suggested lol x
