Not inviting family to my wedding?
I am a 25 year old man getting married this coming August. The lady and I are real excited on our choices and everything is actually going pretty seamless in the planning. Issue is, I can't stand my family. Well, its bigger then that. I have 2 sides, mom and dad. Dad's side is spectacular, Supportive, caring, just over all great people. Then there is my moms side. My mom her self is a pretty sweet lady and even if i hated her, I couldn't justify not inviting her to my wedding. but her brothers and sisters and their kids (my cousins) are just awful. I moved out of state about 2 years ago. I do not expect, nor want people to call and check up on me. But, it's nice for people to forward me an email, comment on my facebook. call/text me on my birthday or something. Which my dads side does very well. Honestly, as long as someone commented on my facebook or something. At least I know they were thinking about me. Thats all I care abour. we're family, it's just nice to know someones thinking about you. My moms side has never made an effort, ever. Even when I lived back home. They've never made any sort of effort to make me feel welcome. Going as far as not adding me on facebook (I know that shouldn't matter) but adding my cokehead cousin. Talking trash about me to my mother. and just being overall rude. Without coming across like a dick, they are pretty white trash of people. they are all drunks. and stereotypical red necks. What it comes down to is this. My moms side of the family are rude, insensitive drunks that never gave me the time of day. I do not feel obligated in the least bit to invite them to my wedding. That being sad, I would break my poor mothers heart. They are HER family after all. How do i explain to her that I would rather have my wedding in a complete other state then have to see her white trash family around.
Getting married--not 21 yet, can i drink?
As a child of a military family, I understand completely about the not-being-able-to-wait circumstance. When my cousin married her marine she had us bridesmaids empty a bottle of Martinellis Sparkling Cider and switch it with an alcoholic drink. No one ever knew the difference. Nobody even questioned why it didn't pop or fizz when opened because "we opened it before hand so it wouldn't accidentally make a mess" Yeah it's illegal , but it's your day, screw the nay sayers (they obviously don't know how to have a little fun) But just don't get trashed dear . . . . .that's quite tacky
Bad or good idea for alcohol at wedding reception?
We have about 125 guests. 110 of them are over 21. I am not sure how much everyone drinks but my family on my moms side, loves to drink beer. Our reception Venue doesn't do packages for alcohol and in fact, it is at a state park so we do it all ourselves. We were thinking that instead of hiring someone to make drinks and them supplying it, we would buy all the alcohol ourselves. I am leaning on more torwards just unlimited beer and wine since it would be cheaper but haven't totally decided on the liquor. Is that not something our guest would like? Should we do the liquor? My wedding is going to be more laid back. We are having buffet style dinner. Is it wrong to buy a bunch of bud light, corona, heineken, ( some other kind) and all the pop, water bottles in categorized tubs with ice and the guests can just go get what they want? It would all be unlimited. I have no idea how we would disperse the wine. Since our reception is going to be more laid back, I am thinking to myself that this is okay but maybe it isn't? Our ceremony is outdoors and the reception hall is at the same location. Should I go buy the results of this calculator? http://www.thealcoholcalculator.com/?config=MediumWedding Any ideas is very much appreciated! Thanks!
What is the best thing about someone born under the cancer sign?
Positive Traits: kind, loving, emotional, intuitive, imaginative, shrewd, cautious, protective and sympathetic. Negative Traits: changeable, moody, over-emotional, touchy, untidy, clinging, unable to "let go," and a tendency to wallow in self-pity. Likes: hobbies, romance, children, parties, home and country. Dislikes: failure, opposition, aggravating situations, being told what to do and being given advice...whether good or bad. Natives of Cancer are probably most in tune with those governed by Pisces, since Pisces is prone to moods just like Cancer, but of a less volatile nature. This is a couple who will find peace and harmony throughout the majority of their relationship. Scorpio, another Sign ruled by the element of Water, would also be favorable since Scorpio is equal to the moods of Cancer and capable of great understanding. Cancer finds the Scorpio depth of character intriguing and will certainly appreciate the rich view of life inherent in the Scorpio nature, to say nothing of the awareness and perception associated with that Sign. This is a couple who will likely provide everything either has ever wanted in a relationship. The physical chemistry here is quite amazing...it is long-lasting and only gets better with the passage of time.
