Does anyone else have these weird thoughts? Wedding Regret related!

lamby, 15 June, 2010 at 20:46 Posted on Planning 0 3

Am I really weird or has anyone else felt a bit, erm, happy if someone can't make the wedding?! Or am I a total weirdo / cow bag??

Obviously not close friends - would be devastated if one couldn't come, but we've had a couple of OH family and 2 of his friends wives not coming cos they didn't wanna leave their children, and I've been a bit 'yes!' cos of money I think and space mainly - basically we had to trim down the eve list considerably due to deciding we couldn't really justify/afford the extra 1k the venue were charging for us to have another room which would allow the extra guests...so a few people not coming in the day/eve means I can invite what are mainly my extra friends (I seem to know quite a few more people than OH!)

But then tonight my friend rsvp'd to say she was on a hen do that weekend and I had the same feeling! She isn't a close, close pal and it's only evening, but I like her lots, but wasn't bothered at all! It has been troubling me about a few peeps I haven't been able to invite yet who are old friends who live away but who I'd love there, and I can now invite a couple, so that's probably all it is, but I never expected to feel like this!

Maybe it's just a sign I don't care who else is there as long as my new hubby is! Sick!!

    Well I dunno as I'm not at that stage really yet with friends as I haven't sent out the invites. Although I sent an email to my cousins in canada about the date of the wedding and asked them if they thought they would be able to come. I have to say I did breathe a slight sigh of relief when one of my cousins said she wouldnt be able to make it with her son, as I thought - "yes! 2 friends can come!!"

    So I guess if you're a cow-bag, then so am ! Smiley smile

    I love all my friends and family dearly, but like you the only person I'm truly bothered about is hubby to be. I always said if he wanted to we could elope. We only have a very small guest list for our wedding and we said we wouldnt bump people into it if people turned us down so it didnt make a great deal of difference.

    Sadly my best friend cant make it which was a bit disappointing but everyone else can so Im happy. However we only invited 38 people so we pretty much knew they would all be able to come!
