Feeling slightly annoyed this morning.
We went to our venue to pay final installment & give pre order/final numbers etc. Parents came too..they were late, so we started going through timings of the day while we waited. They didn't miss much at all, yet my dad felt it nessessary to make sarcastic comments as if we were intentionally keeping him in the dark about certain things!! So that annoyed me...
Then he started being difficult about the half pint glasses! Saying he doesn't want ladies to be served in half pint ale glasses and that they should order in some stem glasses. Also pulling his face about the cask ale & other lagers/beers on tap...that annoyed me.
We were shown around our wedding breakfast suite again, and since we were there last, they have installed a private bar in there. It's still in the process of being finished but very nearly completed. The wedding co-ordinator did say that all being well, it should be up and running by next fri (omg, it's next Friday!!!!) however, if it's not, they'll screen it off. Perfectly fine. We were not expecting a bar, if it's there...bonus! Well, my dad started with the sarky comments again saying they need to pull their fingers out and make sure it's ready by next week cos he wouldn't live it down afterwards!!! That really annoyed me...
Then we got onto the topic of speeches. My h2b & his best man would much prefer to do theirs before the meal. Understandable as my h2b hates any kind of public speaking and would relax and be able to enjoy his meal having done his speech beforehand. Then my mom pipes up (she'd not said a word up to this point) that "traditionally" (I HATE that word) speeches are done after the meal. I said its Robs decsision and she just said "oh, fine...I'll just turn up on the day and have no input at all"....er, wtf?? What have speeches got to do with you anyway!? Again, annoyed...
And finally once everything had been paid, pre order handed over and last count on numbers, we were having a 'tense' drink afterwards and dad pipes up that we may have another 5 guests travelling over from Ireland (all of which had previously declined). Don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled if they can come now, just a little peeved that we found out when we did. And to top this off, mom reckons we should boot out all 'non family' from hotel rooms as it should really be 'family first' even though we left it up to guests to book themselves in. Oh, and she asked me 5 times to make sure my uncle has the best room...why? Because he's used to 5* luxury!! Seriously mother!? All the guests are paying the same for the rooms...why should he get preferential treatment!?!?
They really are making this wedding a show about them...ANNOYED!!!
Ugh, sorry for rant...aaaaand breathe!!
