Interesting request on wedding invite

[OohMavis]

"Please remember to take some piriton before arriving. The pollen count will be high and the last thing I want is sneezing during the ceremony."

Paraphrased but similar tone.

I can't work out if it's unreasonable to ask your guests to medicate themselves so they don't sniffle

I can't believe this still rumbles on. But on account of the theme I have obliged with the request in rhyme.

I still feel fair warning for people with allergies is a kindness.

My dearest friends and family
It’s soon my wedding as you can see
But because I am a bridal-zilla
I do not want the least scintilla
Of snuffle or sneeze
On account of the breeze

So do be a kindly citizen
And take your antihistamine
So during our wedding ceremony
We do not have a cacophony
Of sneezes to ruin our filming
Cos I’ll find it really quite sickening.

Could have done with the invite suggesting insect repellent at a wedding we went to recently .

We don't know what's in the four pages so a few possibilities?
We are enclosing two swatches and all outfits must conform to these colours.
We also enclose diet sheets to be followed for a week before the ceremony.
The bride will be sending all guests to the toilet before the ceremony.
All mobile devices will be confiscated and locked in the desk until the service ends.
All non- attenders must provide a note from their mum.

OP do you think everyone got the anti histamine suggestion or was it just you?

talk about bridezilla - how dare they

I once went to a wedding where the bride insisted no men wear white socks...and anyone with reactolight glasses had to buy plain glass glasses just for the occasion ...so it didn't spoil her photographs!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣 what a fucking idiot I hope someone has the biggest sneezing fit during that ceremony!

Actually after my prolonged fit of mega sneezes this morning I fear I could be with Bridezilla on this one.

I bet she has some particularly stubborn relative who has a similar level of sneezing and refuses to acknowledge it.

I would definitely have halted to ceremony and sent me out.

Item 17, clean underwear must be worn in case of an accident.
Item 18, all tissues for the teary moments to be loose and not in a plastic wrapper
Item 19, all small children to receive a large dose of Calpol (other brands are available) 20 minutes prior to the ceremony to induce sleep
Item 20, all high heeled shoes to be exchanged for ballet pumps at the church door to avoid click clacking.
Item 21, a bird scarer will be discharged 2 minutes before the ceremony. Please do not be alarmed.
Item 21, school shoe rules apply to all male attendees. Those with unsuitable footwear will be refused entry
Item 22, please bring your invitation to gain entry. Gladys and Pearl from the Back Lane will not be permitted entry to compare notes about complete strangers from the rear pew. If you come across them outside the venue and they look like they are making their way in, please inform a member of the usher team who will escort them elsewhere.
Item 23, all bellringers to wear full robes and black trousers. Sandals and socks is not acceptable.
Item 24, please bring a bag big enough to take car keys. Male attendees to hand over all pocketed small change before entering.
Item 25, please collect a fisherman's friend from the collection tray on the way in. Coughing will result in death stares from the wedding party and may lead to your removal from the event.
Item 26, pre nuptial pub meets are discouraged. Please turn up sober and wind free.

She's planning not to offer free drinks.

You're advised not to drink on Piriton.

She's trying to make it easier on her and groom 😃

things go wrong u cant control every single thing

her poor kids will be so bored over two days nothing to do noone to play with

People like this aren’t used to throwing parties, organising events. It’s understandable that they want everything to go right but they wreck it with over planning.

If someone sneezing is going to ruin her wedding she must be very unhappy.

worded different this would have been a really kind add on shown shes thinking of all the peeps who do get really bad hayfever especially at some wedding venues. but worded like this so as not to disturb...no no no.

No it really wouldn't.

I bet she has some particularly stubborn relative who has a similar level of sneezing and refuses to acknowledge it

That's what I was thinking! Great Uncle Albert gets bad hay fever, his sneezes are like a fanfare and he makes no attempt to stifle them! But she can't single him out for a lecture so has to include everyone.

So, "the last thing I want is sneezing during the ceremony." is not paraphrasing.

I'd be tempted to send her a list of other things that are much worse than sneezing during the ceremony, starting with groom's long time lover showing up with love child.

I love tongue and cheek humour!

If someone wrote this on an invite I would be thankful as it would remind me to pack eyedrops etc.

I was agog at the other poster who had instructions from the bride not to wear a corsage or perfume as she didn't like smells.
How far would guests be expected to take that? - no shower gel, body lotion, deodorant, hand-cream? Often strongly fragranced.
Would guests be instructed to use plain coal tar soap and nothing else?

Tongue and cheek 😂

@newyearoldme😂😂😂😂😂

My friends are such assholes they'd be sneezing none stop if I said this!

That made me laugh, not much can do that at 8.30am!

Thank you tarty I do wear perfume but I’m hardly along in a bit of splash for a wedding. I was pretty reasonable but her wedding was in a pissing botanic garden. I was the least floral thing there.
I was planning on putting a FAQ page on the website (in place of invitation, save the trees and all that) with layout and access and more detailed info. I wouldn’t ban sneezing though.

TBH I find that sentence so rude - how could the bride think it’s ok to speak to the guests like that? I probably would have declined the invitations and told her why (politely).
