Bride Says Her Wedding Went Pretty Well—But Friends and Family Still Gave Her Plenty to Be Annoyed About

No wedding is drama free. In fact, maybe that’s why some brides become bridezillas. They probably know that no matter how much they plan and no matter how much they tell everyone exactly what they want, something is still bound to go horribly wrong.
Even when a wedding goes pretty well, there are still bound to be memorable moments that could’ve gone better. This story is a great example.
The bride knows her wedding wasn’t a disaster, but she’s also aware that there were some very less than perfect moments from people who should’ve known better.
Let’s read all about it.
Guest showed up in sneakers, Mum and Dad wanted to leave and I got a $2 bidet
I got married a month ago today and it went well!
Husband’s friend’s wife accepted our RSVP, then declined 3 weeks prior to the wedding. Then at 9pm the night before the wedding, she told us she will be attending.
We managed to get her seated bc there are a couple of people who declined last minute as well.
She didn’t attend the ceremony, just the reception.
It doesn’t seem like she really wants to be there.
She was wearing jeans and sneakers when we stated in the invite that the dress code is formal.
Her husband was wearing a suit and a tie.
During the speeches, I could see from the bridal table that she was in the foyer scrolling on her phone.
Her husband was inside the ballroom.
Her family was also a problem.
Mum and Dad approached me at the bridal table at 8pm and said they were bored and they asked if they can go home.
Speeches haven’t started yet and the party was supposed to end at 10pm.
My brother got drunk when our cousins took him out for a bite (i.e. a couple of dumplings and beers) between the ceremony and reception. He was sleeping it off the entire reception.
My husband and I were annoyed that he was not in the ballroom when he acknowledged my brother in his speech and my brother was not there.
Then there’s her friend…
A friend who attended the wedding flew from overseas and stayed with us for 2 weeks.
He gave us a $2 plastic bidet (I am Filipino so we call it a “tabo”) for our wedding.
I tried to think that that him coming to the wedding was already a big expense to him but he blew $1000 on expensive clothes when I took him shopping.
But it wasn’t a bad wedding.
Other than that, it was actually pretty good.
Perfect weather, ceremony went as planned, party was fun.
My stomach even agreed with me when I ate some ice cream for dessert (I am lactose intolerant depending on what my stomach decides lol)
Every wedding has its quirks, and this one was no exception. It sounds like she had a good attitude about the issues that came up and chose to look at the bright side.

No, it wasn’t a disaster, but yes, there were some pretty awful moments.
Her parents claiming they’re bored at their own daughter’s wedding is pretty bizarre. The wedding guest dressed like it’s a casual event is also bizarre.
