To think that the amount of wine at our wedding one of anybody else's business!!

[bridetobewithinterferingmil]

Dp and I are getting married - woooh!

We want to pay for it all ourselves and are on a pretty limited budget so got a good deal on some wine from a wholesaler. Since we bought it mil has not shut up about how she's worried it will run out half way through the reception and embarass her!! It is our wedding after all! So we siad fine we've bought loads of fizzy water and stuff and peeople can drink that and we don't actually want a wedding full of drunken people - at our expense!

Now she's rung me up today and said one of her friends has got a son (who I suppose we'll have to invite too now) who is something BIG in the catering business and he'll take the water away and sort out more wine for us.

AIBU to think mil should keep her neb out and that I should be able to sort out my own catering arrangements?

(I once got 1000 plus responses for a wedding related thread btw)

Ver good, that will teach me to have skived off RE in school!

Oh, no, proper trolling doesn't require a bunfight. Kitchen implements and polychrome were hilarious but not fighty.

When you said "followers" I knew

I was itching to type trip trap, but restrained myself with a

And still people kept trying to give you calculations of how much wine to buy/serve.

I was being helpful.

Invited to wedding: fuck
Invited to wedding, like the people, can't pretend previous engagement: fuck fuck
Invited to wedding, can't pretend prev. engagement, spend gaaaah amount of money on silly present, travel, smartish clothes for family, maybe hotel etc: fuck fuck fuck
Invited to wedding, can't pretend prev. engagement, spend gaaaah amount of money on silly present, travel, smartish clothes for family, maybe hotel etd, NOT ENOUGH FUCKING WINE: fuck to the power of fuck

I'm joking, btw, I have no idea how you get 1000+ responses, but I do think you need more than 81.

I'm just waiting for a few more posts, you know the ones that say "I haven't read the whole thread but I think you should punch your mil/buy some cheap red wine from Aldi/read 'toxic inlaws'/ban all dcs from the wedding" etc etc.

pollychrome got 202.

493 for kitchen implements

Have read first few posts of pollychrome and rofl. (I haven't had wine tonight)

realizing have been set up: fuck to the power of fuck the fuck off you fucking fuckwit

I'm loving the typo 'Cana bride not make a fuss about her choices then'

Nurse! More restraints for the batlady in cubicle 3, please!

Hmm why do people do this? Just find it a bit tedious and it wasn't a funny or shocking story in the first place.

In other words I have also just lost a few minutes that I'll never get back.

Meh. Even kitchen implements got called correctly after 6 minutes, by bluestocking.

ROFL!!!

Lol at people saying they have lost "minutes" they will never get back. Flip, I lose hours on here most nights.

Lightweights.

Yes, of course it did - was still very very very funny.

And as for losing minutes you'll never get back - WHY are you on MN, exactly?

xpost with you there Habbibu.

Habibbu - I feel very bad about your trusting face!

Lionstar -I was getting desperate at that point!

Ladies - sorry if you feel you wasted your time - but I did put it in AIBU - timewasting is not uncommon round these parts!

LOL SGB: "you are going to under-cater and look mean and peculiar"

Treating this as though it were a real post (because people do really doooo this)

Yes, it's just annoying./ I always want to grab the mike off the crap singer and shout 'Hey, Mr and Mrs Forty-year-old: why didn't you just do it down the Scout Hut and have less 'nestling in a bed of' but enough bleeding wine?

Well, indeed - had it been real, then the time spent would have been Very Important Indeed, wouldn't it? Headline: people at someone else's wedding Slightly Disappointed at lack of wine...

I'm becoming over-involved, aren't I?

Those two are both shit as well.
