TidyDancer's bridezilla thread part 3

[TidyDancer]

Here you go!

Me too georgedawes

In fact i think NOT responding is the most provocative thing you can do (while still looking good yourself)

GZ sounds so thick and deluded she's actually thinks she might be able to get you to do this!

Sister sounds ok, not passive aggressive. The most I'd reply is a "cheers hope you get it sorted" or "thanks, im sure she'll work something out". Then at least you won't seem petty.

GZ takes self absorption to new heights!

"Dear Sister of Dim Bride,

Once again, I will not be helping out at your sister's wedding.

Best wishes,
Tidy"

But tbh I would just leave it without a reply, personally. Usually I'm really good at replying, but in this case it's gone:

1. Save the date!
2. No invite, no.
3. You saved the date so I could rely on you to work for me, but I'm not going to say that outright.
4. Hmm, you've worked it out, but I'm going to ask you again regardless.
5. "There has been a misunderstanding." Never apologise, never explain.
6. Perhaps my sister's involvement will make you take me more seriously.
7. No? Well, I am still relying on you. I'll leave it with YOU.

And frankly I think that's enough disrespect for me, so I'd consider my involvement over. You've been clear enough as it is!

It's a bit late to respond now, isn't it?

But why is Gluezilla stuck?

Is she incapable of blowing up a balloon and hanging a banner saying "Happy Wedding Day Glue?"

Why is she so obsessed with the idea of the OP doing it?

I wonder what she will do when it comes to the wedding day and Tidy hasn't given in? Surely she should have realised and organised something else by now?

Perhaps she is a Galaxy Quest fan. "Never give up, never surrender!"

Just reply: if she's stuck, that's conclusive proof that her glue problem has got out of control. Please get her some professional help.

'I'm Sticking With You' by Velvet Underground rewritten for GZ

I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
My venue you will do
But no invite for you

You held up my decorating plan
And I'm getting sad
Saw your Sylvanians in the hall
And I now just want to bawl

I'm sticking with you
'Cos I'm made out of glue
My venue you will do
But no invite for you

People going to be surprised
At the venue of Glue the bride

But as I'm the bride I can do anything
When I ring
I won't admit that I was wrong

I'll do anything to you
Anything I want to do
I'm sure you want to help me too
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you
Oohoh I'm sticking with you

I think I'd have to reply "well, perhaps she should have arranged to pay someone to decorate for her instead of getting me to save the date for a wedding I'm not invited to, assume that I would decorate the hall and piss off home while others enjoyed the wedding and then have the brass neck to try to make me the bad guy for not falling in with her demands."

I am getting cross on your behalf!

I swear, one more email from either of them and I shall hunt you down, cosh you over the head and take over your email address and really let rip

Delurking to say I think it's time for the

Bitch, is your sister on glue?

Peace out

Response.....go on you know you want to

There is no need to reply to the sister's note. She can hope all she wants. She is free to hope as much as she likes. I'd ignore it.

Time must be running out for BostikBride. The wedding must be any day now...

I.have.got.it!!!!!

'Dear Bridezilla's sister, surely Bridezilla can ask a friend? Take care, etc'

etc :) :) :) :) :)

how about:

Dear Glusista

You know what they say about people who replace their back bone with a wish bone?...they end up decorating their wedding venue themselves anyway...alone...

hth

Tidy

Oh ok, that is a bit passive agressive. But you get the drift?

ooh i've revised it

Dear Glusista

You know what they say about people who replace their back bone with a wish bone?...they end up decorating their wedding venue themselves anyway... at the last minute ...alone...

hth

Tidy

Snurk Mrs

'Dear sister of UHU Bride'

If you don't reply i bet they keep hassling you.

Time to break out the big guns.

I'm liking the "maybe she should get a friend to help" angle. And I still have a warm place in my heart for a reply using "maybe next time."

Fucking hell the bride is unhinged. I would go with balloonsayers suggestion (which is brilliant)

Dear Sister

Thanks for your reply.

I am afraid I won't be re-considering.

I'll confess I am getting weary of hearing how "upset" Gluezilla is, when she has been very rude yet has not acknowledged this at all, let alone apologised.

However none of this is your fault, so I will not get you involved. You have been very kind in attempting to resolve matters, but I think this has gone far enough now.

With all the very best for the big day

Tidy

I'd just leave it.

Is there anyone going that you know, so you can see how the decoration turns out?

oh yes please get someone to get some grainy under cover 'expose' type footage (altho being at a wedding is perfect cover for taking actual photos, i want blurry video of peoples feet and muffled voices)

arf at 'BostikBride'.

Tidy, I think you might need to reply just to close it off once and for all; otherwise I can see you being harangued not just via email from Gluesis but maybe by phone/text by GZ and others. The closer the date gets, the more bridezilla she will become.

I also think that in GlueFamilyRobinson's heads, the fact you aren't going to the wedding also means you are unencumbered with tasks such as sorting out your outfit, hair etc to attend as a guest, and this then means you have more time on your hands than the actual invitees (and the wedding party, which if the STD and venue fiascos are anything to go by then there are certainly a lot more tasks to get through before the big day).

I think your reply needs to be:

Dear Gluesis, thanks for your reply and just to confirm, I am not available to assist with wedding preparations. Wishing you all the best for the big day, Tidy
