FIL Moan

My Fil is paying for the reception after our blessing and so far has caused no end of problems with changing things and demanding that we do things that it's a pain in the bottom.

When we had all the info from the venue I told them to specifically check everything with me before they made any changes. I've just had an email to say he's asked to change the stuffing that come with the turkey, this will be the 3rd change of it, I know nothing about this change he's come up with it all on his own and it would appear he wasn't going to tell us about it.

Don't get me wrong I appreciate him paying for it but I'd like him to accept that it's our day and therefore we need to at least be consulted on things.

(I know that stuffing isn't a big deal but it's the telling them that I want to change it when I know nothing about it is annoying)

Can't the venue make sure that they only deal with your or your partner, and nobody else?

Be grateful that the venue emailed you about it, a lot of places probably wouldn't do that!

I know it's not funny, but I sort of had to laugh at your FIL changing the stuffing in the turkey. It seems such an un-manly thing to do!! lol.

Really? With a week to go he's worried about stuffing? Has he got nothing better to do? I would tell the venue to ignore him.

This is the blessing so he has 3 weeks to worry about stuffing!

No one seems to be worried about the actual wedding other than me and OH.

What do you mean by "worried"? That nobody is interested, or that they trust you to make a great job of it?

Anyway, your internet wierdie friends care about your plans

Not sure which it is to honest AJ, it's only ever referred to as "well you'll have your wedding how you want it" as if they think they'll hate it when in reality we've compromised on many things to make sure everyone is catered. I get so cross when I'm told we're having what we want at the wedding when really we aren't we're having it where we want it yes but as to the rest of it, it's all been done to keep the majority of people happy so it's not like we're saying this is what we wanted and you just have to like it!
