I've never had to start a second thread so no idea if I've done this right.
I couldn't resist the title.

Who the hell has 10 groomsmen? Even 10 bridesmaids is excessive.

ineedaholidaynow · 23/04/2019 17:26

I assume if he has 10 groomsmen there will be 10 bridesmaids as well, don't they usually match?

My mum is one of 13 siblings in a huge Irish family, Dad is one of 7, PILs are one of 6 and 4 respectively. If I had thought, even for a nanosecond, of having a big wedding and not inviting all the Aunts and Uncles + partners, I'd have been lifted out of it so far I'd have been able to see my own wedding from Mars.

Your nephew is rude and entitled. I would send him a text telling him how hurt you are and that you won't be driving anyone anywhere on the wedding day and that he can asked one of the other 150 guests that he has priorities over his Aunt/Uncle/Godparents.

*ask/prioritised.

Oh thank god, this new thread saves in ‘watch this thread’ and I no longer need to keep the page open on a tab on my iPad and keep refreshing it!
Thanks for starting a new thread, I’m really hoping you hand him his arse on a plate and hoping too that less than half the invited guests turn up to the wedding because it clashes with Wimbledon or the cricket or Meghan’s birthing video...

ByeClaire · 23/04/2019 17:37

GROOMZILLA has 10 groomsmen, that’s who.

I would definitely say your piece calmly and politely to DN by text or card - that you’re hurt, definitely won’t be a taxi service, but wish him the best. Then you can move on knowing that you communicated your feelings and aren’t bottling anything up.

He’s an absolute cock. Is this selfish sense of entitlement really so out of the blue or has he shown signs before?

Blondeshavemorefun · 23/04/2019 17:38

It’s your mum I feel for. Her own son let alone her grandson obv dont care about her at all due to the fact they expect w no. Driver to make own way to wedding

When is wedding ?

I prob wouldn’t go if I was your mum esp if would be sitting on own

And yes bet there will be some stupid first dance where they all join in

itstheweekend2 · 23/04/2019 17:48

Has DM given DN her rsvp yet or is she still pondering?

Ginger1982 · 23/04/2019 18:14

I can't believe he said you should 'get over yourselves' and your DB1 just sat there and let him say it!! He has nothing to be proud of!

It sounds something horrific and the only reason to go would be to tell the stories afterwards. So don't go, and say why.

ProperVexed · 23/04/2019 18:35

ReanimatedSGB How rude! Are you the bride?

SmellsLikeAdultSpirit · 23/04/2019 18:36

I read of a close family who have regular get togethers. Happy to indulge DN with his wedding talk until they have been totally offended by DN who is having a big wedding but doesn't see fit to invite his family
But who does want an expensive present and taxi service off them

Warmhandscoldheart · 23/04/2019 18:36

I've read your latest updates.
All actions have consequences, your DN has been very disrespectful and now he'll have to live with the consequences.

SauvignonBlanche · 23/04/2019 18:48

Love the thread title! Grin

IggyAce · 23/04/2019 19:14

Can’t believe he expected you to be a taxi service.
I give the marriage a year max, once it’s all over with they will find they have nothing to talk about.

pinkgloves · 23/04/2019 19:15

@ReanimatedSGB well aren't you quite the spiteful, bitter person?

TapasForTwo · 23/04/2019 19:27

"There's a poster who's name escapes me right now who rightly says the reason cheeky fuckers (and he IS a cheeky fucker) get away with it is because people are too polite to call them on their shit! "

I often point this out, but I don't think this one can be attributed to me. I couldn't agree with you more. It sounds like he has been indulged all his life.

I mean the ten horsemen of the apocalypse over owning his own house! What does that say about him? Does his mum do everything for them in the house? Is that why they want to stay with her?

MortyVicar · 23/04/2019 19:30

From the back end of the last thread:

She [OP's DM] did say something weird that we put down to her being a bit squiffy.
She said she was glad this had happened! She said "just imagine if you and DB2 had had an invite for the ceremony. We would never have seen DN's true colours. We'd have all carried on meeting up on a Sunday under this illusion that they (DN & fiancee) actually cared about us".

Squiffy can sometimes be good. In this case, in vino veritas Grin

purplealiensdontwearhats · 23/04/2019 19:41

Can someone post the link to the thread mentioned above please? I think I've missed a lot

AngelinaNeurosurgeon · 23/04/2019 19:42

Does the bride have any family attending? If not could that be relevant do you think?

TheLittleDogLaughed · 23/04/2019 19:43

Whenever I think of white suits, I think of that little fat bloke from Dukes of Hazard - Boss Hogg.

crispysausagerolls · 23/04/2019 19:45

Yay!

Warmhandscoldheart · 23/04/2019 19:49

@purplealiens see Graphista post on 1st page for link

purplealiensdontwearhats · 23/04/2019 19:54

Thanks @Warmhandscoldheart
I read it but somehow missed a huge chunk (the best bits!)
What a cockwomble he is.
