Q of the D.......family and your wedding

Do you have any family members that embarrass you?

Are you concerned someone may make a spectacle of himself/herself at your reception?

Story of my life!

Yes I have 2 in particular...one i didnt plan on inviting until she called everyone and I got yelled at....and the other is my god mother. She is a drug addict and pill popper and can be very in appropriate. The other one just has no manners.

Pray for me.

I don't think there are many families that don't have an embarressing relative. Hopefully they won't come to the wedding though

I was elated when my mom told me my aunt and cousin would be attending sans Uncle Mark.

He would most certainly show up with a zipper cooler of natural light beer and his 'Staying Alive' boots from 1980.

Re: Q of the D.......family and your wedding

i dont have much family here and the ones who will be at my wedding, no not worried about them. Sometimes i wish i had more family who would be at my wedding even they embarassed me rather than not having them. Unfortunately most of them cant be here, with getting visas and all that its just impossible right now.

People that are embarrasing live for family functions! I am convinced of this!

Re: Q of the D.......family and your wedding

I have an alcoholic family member that I was VERY worried about. Let's just say that everyone noticed who it was but my family protected me from seeing anything the whole night. I have heard stories though.

He is in recovery now though!!

I keep forgetting that there are other people, besdies myself, who have very few family members coming for one reason or another. You are right though, I would rather have my family here embarrassing me a little, than not at all.

I just hope my mom doesn't start telling foul jokes

Yeah i would have loved for my family from Italy to come too but they would have gone a little too crazy!! I wouldn't have minded though

My cousin that came with her husband was pregnant so that calmed her down a bit!

I have to make jokes about my family it is the only thing that keeps me from taking it way too seriously.

Did your pregger cousin have a good time without being able to whoop it up?

Ihave a table full of peoplethat are not nice, I figure they will all have something in common and make for fun conversation, or not.

Do 2 mean people cancel themselves out?

yes they had an amazing time
american weddings amaze them - italian weddings are lower key and sometimes dont even involve dancing. . . there is MUCH less food ( but i am sure better food LOL )

everything is more "homestyle" like at a friend's restaurant with another friend taking pictures for you. . . this of course is just hte experience with MY family i dont know how it is elsewhere

so btw my brother's wedding at the lighthouse and my wedding at JT they were shocked!

yeah most of my family is overseas and to get visas especially for a whole family such as wife, husband and kids its not easy to do. If they lived nearby they would all be here but unfortunately distance doesn't help. Yeah considering fh will have around 100 family members at the wedding, really makes me realize how much of my family wont be here.

Re: Q of the D.......family and your wedding

i have a great story!

MILs friend who is in her 50s got DRUNK at the wedding. So she was sitting in a van they got to go home and she has her head btw her legs trying not to puke.

So DH goes up to her and says "Hey what were you drinking you nut" and she was like "Great wedding i was drinking slippery nipples the whole night but now its so cold out mine could cut glass" ((PS that was NOT what she was drinking but anyway ))

DH was like and ran away from her

Then she puked out the window the whole way home

So many people puked at my wedding, thankfully none of them at the actual hall unless they were in the bathroom

all class i tell you, i should have asked people not to puke
