to think my db has turned into a groomzilla

[qwepoi]

arghhhh! Just quietly biting my tongue is hard work. I thought it was only women who got like this but he has really turned into someone very materilisitic and big headed!

Come on, come on, you know us better than that. Details, please!

Details please. Comedy scenarios. Grabby lists. Come on, dish the dirt

OK! in no particular order:
Telling other db that 'a certain calibre of person always wears cufflinks'
Won't wear certain clothes because they are 'too middle class'
Can't stop mentioning that some Important People will be at the wedding (his future FIL's bosses)
After conversation about nerves in which I said that once they start the vows it will just feel like him and gf and nothing else will matter that' it was different for you as your wedding was 'low-key'' (they have hired stately home type venue)
Leaving other db v out of pocket after stag-do
Basically losing site of the fact that he is getting married in excitment of big showing-off opportunity and vast amount of his future PILs money spent!
We are a very teasing family and it's so hard not responding to these things!

sight not site

Oh and best of all going on pre-wedding holiday to get a tan!

Tell him to stop spending other peoples moeny and pay for it himself.

He has the same job as me and other db if that makes any difference.

What calibre of person always wears cufflinks? Is this one of those new class indicator thingies? Like having electric gates?

why would it make a difference that you all have the same job??

why are they inviting PIL's bosses to their wedding?

It easy to showw off when its not his own money he is spending. Nothing worse than a snob who cannot even afford the things he is snipping about.

I mention jobs in relation to the calibre of person comment - in that he appears to think that he is now an 'upper class' person unlike the rest of us.

Because his PIL's are paying for it CQ therefore it is there opportunity to show off.

What does he do?

your db has no shame!

If you're a mickey taking bunch I'd lay into him - have some fun - he deserves it

Isn't 'not the done thing' to tease about wedding plans, a bit like baby names etc>?

What???

No - if he's being a twat call him on it, no wedding immunity here!

'Not the done thing' my a*se - get stuck in or lose him to twattishness forever.

You'd be doing him a favour OP - reel him back in before he disappears up his own backside.

I don't understand how some people think that the acquisition of someone else's money somehow magically alters their class. He is of the same class as you.

I'm all for teasing and agree no wedding immunity.

Umm, you could perhaps point out to im that being upper class in Britain is still very much a question of birth rather than money - especially money owned by people other than oneself. That would be rather mean, of course!

Alternatively I suggest videotaping his antics and selling the footage as the basis of some new reality show. With the royalties from that you will once more achieve the same class status as him.

He sounds inadvertently hilarious, sorry!

Who's money is it? Your mum & dads or His? If it's your mum and dad's are you not pissed off how he is lording it up on their money? and at the same time looking down his nose at you?

I'd just say that it's nice that the bride's parents are really pushing the boat out before their daughter has to join the lower middle class. But I am evil.
