I always said I would never get married, and the main reason for that is that I have so many different groups of friends and family who are so very different and who I feel may clash badly. I also tend to feel that (especially in the past few years) I have kind of learned to deal with this by being a different facet of myself with each group.
Basically I am becoming increasingly anxious about people getting on, both on the hen nights and the wedding. I am planning to have 2 hen nights, one in my home town and one in the city where I live now, each organised by the repsective bridesmaid, but there will be people who have never met, people who are from hugely differing walks of life, and people who literally hate eachother, and I'm worried that there will be bitching and discomfort.
I am thinking about sending out an email just before the wedding saying something along the lines of :
"We are incredibly excited about the prospect of all of our beloved friends and family being in the same room to celebrate our marriage, and whilst we understand that everyone cannot be best buddies, we would ask that any differences be put aside for the sake of happiness and harmony. Thankyou in anticipation."
What do you think? and what about the hens? do I ask each bridesmaid to do something similar? anyone else worried about this or am I just really mental?!
