I don't know if having to postpone our wedding for this summer due to covid has made me negative or more sensitive but this wedding seems to have brought out some unexpected crazy behaviour from people......
Future SIL 4 months before the original date threw a hissy fit crying and all sorts because her 16 year old daughter wasn't a bridesmaid. I am not close with SIL as there is a huge age gap between her and DP and we only see her around 3 times a year (when we visit her). Phone calls to DP crying every day which really upset him so I gave in and said neice could be a bridesmaid. I got her a dress that matched the others but in laws didn't like it and so went shopping without me and got one in a completely different style and now want me to reimburse them.
Sil and her best friend have also visited the venue several times to look round and were very angry that we had not arranged to show them ourselves (I didn't know this was a thing?) SIL and friend also arranged to spend the day at the venue on the original wedding date because they were so upset about postponement. I found this very odd as the venue is over an hour away and we the couple weren't invited.
My Father is not speaking to me because I refused to invite his girlfriend of 3 months who I have not met to the wedding. This was when it was going to be a 30 person covid wedding where we were unable to have any of our friends and a lot of our families.
Also demands from both families to invite random relatives/ family friends we have never met. To be clear we are funding this wedding mostly ourselves only my DM has contributed and hasn't made any demands.
At this point I feel like I just want to elope! Did not expect people to behave like this in a million years! Please tell me it isn't just me and weddings to this to everyone?!
