to want to shout to a colleague..........

[Buttonmushroomhomewrecker]

stop talking about your bloody wedding all day in work, if i have to hear another minute of sugared almonds, teabags in glass vases, Jimmy Choo shoes, biscotti variations to serve after the meal, a day by day weather forecast of the day, name by name place settings of people I don't know, how it's your day, all about you and you are the princess (you are bloody 30 FCS get over yourself) I will SCREAAAAAMMMM!!!!

Sorry I had to get that off my chest and I didn't know any other way.

BTW i genuinely hope she enjoys her wedding, but the assumption that I am interested in the detail is just driving me crazy and I don't know how many more subject changes I can invent anymore.

and no I am not going, and no I am not bitter/jealous etc etc

phew, feel better for that silent scream........

teabags in glass vases??????

Teabags!?

oh god yes it's the latest thing in wedding chique...apparently. What would I know....

I am calmer now. Although the decision to stick my fingers in my ears and shout lalalalalala over and over again my get me a worse reputation.

I wanna talk about the teabags!!

OP - please please please, just ask the bridezilla about the teabags in glass vases, listen one more time :)

then you'll have to do some kind of work exchange with me to talk teabags!

I may expose too much.... ok.

She saw a table decoration theme in a magazine and has held it dear to her heart ever since. There are small glass beakers on each table (like the chemistry ones in a lab or some such) and each one has a selection of teabags in various flavours. I know this because we've been through all the varieties...and she went to England to get them especially (we live in mainland Europe).

The teabags in the picture were very specific they had little shapes on the end of the strings where the tag for dunking goes - in the colours of the wedding theme.

So she has spent a week commuting on the train, cutting out coloured shapes to the desired effect and required colours to match her theme, and glueing them over the tea bag tags to serve them in said glass vases at the end of the meal.

Do you mean tea lights? If not, then we need much more info about the teabags! Builders, green or herbal? With or without sugar? Milk? Lemon? ou need to pay more attention to your colleague......for all our sakes....

Yes it would be poor form for most, but as she keeps telling me it's her special time, she is princess for the day.

She isn't English btw....

At the tea bag matching tabs, not you OP

If she's not English I will assume she's from Planet LostAllSenseOfPersepective :o

When my colleague starts blathering on about something I couldn't give a shit about care less about, I put my earphones and in start foot tapping.

bonkers20 why not start doing a comedy polka too? :o

look up Wedding Favor teabags on google...it's astounding.....

OMG there are a million different Tea Bags as Wedding Favours websites!!

::faints::

Teabags as table decorations???

Surely coffee at the end of the meal more normal anyway?

I agree Madam, but it's setting yourself up for a fall really....her expectations are huge...well at least the groom will turn up...they are already married..this is the ceremony for friends and family.....
