    I'm sorry, this is completely off topic, but I needed to rant somewhere. As most of you probably know (as I keep mentioning it), I am getting married on Sunday. Sent out RSVPs, got replies, booked caterers - everything should be hunkydory, right? However, people are now dropping out like flies left, right and centre. If one more person says they can't come to the wedding for whatever reasons I swear I am explode. Why say yes in the first place? Ok, I'm sure some of the reasons are genuine, but not around 30 people who all decide to mention it in the last week when final numbers were confirmed 2 weeks ago.

    As much as I obviously wouldn't, that is so tempting right now!

    F.ck em right in the ear. I assure you that on the day it will make not one jot of difference to how much you enjoy the day or how fast it will fly by. No doubt your closest mates and family, the ones you really care about will be there and that's all that really matters.

    By the way, sorry, I can't make it, I'm washing my hair.

    I hear Sunday is a popular day for doing that. I hope you've already stocked up on your shampoo otherwise I think the shops might have sold out.

    No one you can draft in instead is it people who where invited to the day reception or the evening one?

    When i got married we got married at 3pm (incidently we played Leeds that day - and won) and then went straight for meal and reception all in one - it was a pretty small wedding though only about 40 people.

    Sod 'em

    Sunday is going to be the best day of your life. All eyes will be on you. If anyone can't be bothered to share that experience with you, whether they be family or so-called friends, it's their loss. They've done you a favour, actually, by showing their true colours. On the day, you won't miss them at all & it'll be a fantastic occasion.
    Good luck on Sunday, JD. It's going to be brilliant.
    All the best
    From
    The Big Lils

    Aye - what he said! If they can't be bothered to share your day that's there look out. Concentrate on the people that come and enjoy the day.

    We got married in the States, only had my best mate, his missus, my sister and brother-in-law there. it rankeled with the missus that whilst they travelled over from the UK, none of her family travelled within the US! **** em, we had a great day married at a beautiful old house and then we just walked around the corner to a nice restaurant for a meal. after that we hit a local bar and seeing my wife in her wedding dress we had loads of people we didn't know coming up to congratulate us!

    What TM said - you'll be that focused on the day and those who are actually there that the day will fly by, and it's only the day after when you're looking back on it that you might even consider who wasn't.

    Their loss. Who misses a free feed needs their bumps feeling.

    As long as your fiancé isn't one of the 30 then there's nothing to worry about. Many people are fickle. A good marriage demonstrates that not everybody is.

    A good marriage. Now there's the perfect oxymoron

    Are you still planning on attending? Is the groom? Yes? Then I'm pretty sure you're going to have a fantastic day regardless of whether or not some tart turns up and sits at the back of the church in her dress which is obviously a bit too short.

    If they're daft enough to turn down free food and the opportunity to have a good day then I think the technical phrase is '**** 'em'.

    Anyway, we could always all turn up instead. That'd make your day extra special wouldn't it.

    Miserable gits on one side, happy clappers on the other. Fighting on the dance floor. A memorable day for all concerned.
