Hi all,
I am a groom, getting married in the coming weeks. My Bride is Scottish, the wedding will be held in Glasgow, my family are from south-east England, so a number of them are flying up. We have had a lot of difficulty with my mother: telling people to book flights/hotels before they were invited, telling people what their role in the ceremony would be before we'd decided, complaining that we are not putting on a shuttle bus to/from the airport but then saying we're spending too much money, complaining that the Brides family aren't doing enough to help out but then not doing anything to help, txting the Bride "my dress has arrived.. not a colour i would have gone for.. ivory white" etc. the list goes on.
We are finalising the table plan. We are thinking of not having a traditional 'top' table. We would have a round table with Bride, Groom, Groomsmen, Bridesmaids, Mother & Father of Bride. Then my Mum and her Partner would be on a seperate table with aunties & uncles etc.We are doing this because we are genuinely concerned that she will attempt to ruin the meal, doing/saying nasty stuff. The question is; are we making the right the decision? Or, are we just overreacting? e.g. could the txt have been meant with good intentions but we've overreacted.
