Stupid questions people have asked about you wedding?

I've had a couple of people asking me if I'm wearing a wedding dress!

Probably not going to be the most obscure question but my FSIL asked if there was going to be a free bar - seriously??!! Have you any idea how much this wedding is costing? And you want me to pay for 150 people to get drunk at the reception as well? Sure I'll go take a walk to the money tree at the bottom of the garden, I may as well plant another one while I'm there....

Wait, are you saying that people who knew your dad had passed asked that? Or do you just mean that people are insensitive to ask that without first checking whether a person's parent is living?

I got asked by the FOTG what order the songs were being played during the evening reception.

Also got asked by one of my BM's if the corsages they were having were to be worn on their leg!

?

MIL asked us if the TOG will know to take pictures of us 2 alone as she wants to update her wall of family photos...

LOL

You made my day!

Thanks God, no one did not ask me such a questions. Atleast for now

The person asked the question before engaging brain. They knew he was dead but had a stupid moment.

Ah, well then yes, that is stupid.

My FMIL asked my H2B if he wanted to invite his dad to the wedding. He hasn't seen his dad since he was five, so we were both pretty surprised that she would suggest it. (He doesn't.)

It wasn't a question as such but a close relative (who drives me nuts at the best of times) told me in detail how much it was costing her to get to our wedding and stay overnight. We are getting married in the southwest and she lives in the southeast. When she saw where the venue was she went on their website and then messaged me to ask if I realised how much the bedrooms cost to book - of course, but they were included in our package which she really didn't understand!

She told me she wouldn't be staying at the venue, I suggested she bring her caravan and pitch it in the holiday place next to the venue to which she replied, do you know how much that thing cost to tow?! Why have it then?! Grrr!

My final response was, I drove 6 hours in 2012 to your wedding and paid for myself to stay overnight, so stop moaning! Not sure whether she'll come or not now...

From my lovely, and well meaning, yet slightly insensitive aunty...

"When are you starting your diet?"

Gah!

haha that made me laugh!

'Why are you having a wedding breakfast, how early is it going to be, won't people have eaten breakfast already?' Hahahaha

Ugh. That is not well meaning at all! It's just insulting.

You'd have to meet my aunty to understand - she's like the epitome of nice normally, without an evil bone in her body.

Still wanted to smack her face in though, not least because she asked this question on my Facebook wall!

My darling BM and best friend once asked me in shock horror, 'you arent changing out of your wedding dress for the reception?!?!'.......

To which my response was hell no! Does anyone actually do that??? I know some brides do, but its way more common and likely for one to stay in a dress that cost an arm and a leg? Lol

Change out of it for the reception?! Really?! I've already warned my wife to be and my mother that I'm wearing it to breakfast the morning after the night before!!!

Not a stupid question. Mine won't be as we're having a Humanist ceremony but no-one except us and the two people we've asked to be the witnesses at our legal bit know that it's not. I am expecting the more savvy of our guests to ask this question at some point on the day.

I've had the "is your dad coming to the wedding?" Question from my mum and both my sisters - although am pretty sure that at least one of my sisters was joking but my mum wasn't!!! I've probably seen him twice in 20 years and neither of those meetings went well and I recently deleted him from fb for other reasons so... Ermmmmm.... No he isn't!! Lol

ive also had the fmil make comments rather than questions but when we go round for tea she'll say things like, "so you won't be having cake with us?" Errrmmmm can I decide that for myself or does the size of my bottom offend you? - i always feel like jumping in to either "I like bit b@tts and I can not lie" or the new "you know what you can do with that big fat b@tt.... Wiggle wiggle wiggle" but I know my oh would just hang his head in shame! Lol :-) xxx

Urgh, I hate that assumption that all brides must be dieting, or should diet. I told my mum I was trying to lose a bit of weight, but I'm sure she'd have asked at some point if I hadn't said it. It's just so rude. My uncle lives in Spain now and I'm kinda glad, cos you can bet your life he'd have commented on my weight by now if he had seen me. He flew over for my brother's wedding and proceeded to embarrass me in front of the strangers I was seated with by asking why I have so many tattoos and telling me how he thinks women shouldn't have tattoos. I wanted to die.

My favourite so far has been 'Did you know that you are getting married on a Wednesday?'

Ummmm…. no, we missed that fact, but somehow managed to write it on the invitation that you are holding…...

Although, today, I received a text on the land line saying 'Can I come to the wedding, I'll be with A (cousin and photog) and I'll pay my way?' Mainly funny because the person didn't think to mention who they are!!!!

We get asked about the legally binding thing too because we are getting married in the USA. Also, people saying "but don't you have to have a blood test there?" Not in his state, no. But even if we did, why would that worry me?

I've had this one already! Haha!

Actually - I kind of had this too - from h2b!!!!!! I said something in conversation about it and the look of confusion on his face was a picture!! I could actually see him trying to work out if I'd lost the plot!! Lol xx

Yup! It was my h2b first that asked... Then everyone else lol x

Yup I've had it from h2b too lol

I had someone ask me if my 9 week old baby was coming... Ermm nah I thought I'd leave her at home with the fish acting as babysitters...

Love it!

I had a civil ceremony in America. So surely it is the same as a civil ceremony here?

Assuming you met all of the local requirements for whichever state you married in then it should be legal here.

we are getting married in Washington state and there is a 3-day waiting period there and if we don't follow that rule the marriage is null and void.

There are some corkers on here!

I had this from one of OH's aunties; I was seriously not impressed.

The silliest questions I have been asked are, "isn't is going to be cold?" -well yes it will be in the artic circle! And "what will you be wearing, surely not a wedding dress?" -erm yes a wedding dress.....
