To be mildly disappointed that all of the brides I know have been rather reasonable?

Just that really.

I've met a few who've got stressed before the day. I've been there myself, waking up at 3am because of cake boxes, but none of them have been even remotely cunty. Not one.

Am I alone in never having been abused by people who are having their special day or are the Bridezilla threads on here the state of play now?

Have I just been rather lucky in having friends and family that aren't arseholes, or should I feel disappointed by missing the excitement and drama?

Anyone else out there managed to just have rather nice times at weddings like me?

I've never been asked to save a date either Dammit.

I'VE BEEN ROBBED!!!!!

I too am deprived babyheave.
I've been to loads of weddings in my life, and have enjoyed them. I've been very happy to let each host plan what they want on their day, and then I've been able to make up my own mind if I want to go or not. On the very rare occasions when I've not been able to go (once I was inter-railing and once I was giving birth ) I've still managed to remain friends with the couples and not fall out over it. Even the one where we were starving is remembered fondly, and joked about to this day.

I have been to a wedding where the bride's ex-boyfriend was amongst the guests and it didn't cause any fighting, not even when the bride's elderly dad accidentally used the ex-bf's name instead of the groom's name as in "Jane and Steve oops err Michael". (names changed)

A friend was planning to marry at a similar time to us and after we'd booked our date she asked if we'd change it as it was the date they wanted (rather bridezilla). I said no, it didn't cause any problems, they had their wedding the week before ours and we all stayed friends.

When my sister got married abroad (where she lives), my siblings and I chose not to travel so we missed the wedding but some close family friends went. The same happened when I got married in our home country and my siblings chose not to travel from abroad to attend. No one minded and no one fell out over it.

No one's ever sent me an invitation requesting cash or with a poem.

It's very disappointing but I live in hope that there's still time.

Inconsiderate aren't they?

humph.

My very lovely work mate is getting married in a few weeks. She had to be nagged into a gift list, utterly refuses to allow us to organise a hen/ celebratory meal and has loaned me accessories to wear on the day. She is the best behaved bride ever
