Yep - there's always that one guest for every type of bad RSVP ettiquette.

Yeay! I can now die happy :)

There is a special place in hell for people who think it's fun to hit animals. Or like the locals in the Arab Gulf states, tie em up in a bag and run them down with their car for sport. Grrr it makes me so mad!

I had my own grandmom (dad's mom) give her invitation to my dad, which made me really upset. I'm estranged from him, and maybe still a little scared as he was verbally abusive and controlling. I've changed addresses and numbers several times thanks to well meaning family members giving him my contact information…

I was about to ask if last week's share counts, but then I saw it in the story so:

yup - it's a stark contrast to my own experience. my stepdad wanted to parent me, but not really take the responsibility or label of being my stepdad. So I really do applaud the men (and women) who do this.

All I can think of is: you've been Marvin'd!

In all seriousness, I saw something similar happening at a friend's wedding, and I thought it was so beautiful.

Not trying to sound smug - and I really hope I don't sound smug. But I am so glad that I didn't hire a DJ and set up my laptop with some rented speakers and had my friend as an unofficial MC who just needed to press play and nothing else.

My besties took me to a strip club while I still had henna all over my hands down to my elbows. We didn't have time to go any other time and I didn't know that's where they were taking me. I sat there awkwardly for the entire night with my hands bent and up in the air like a "V" (if you're looking at me sideways).

my friend was really embarrassed.

He took them to work and....no idea what happened after that. They wqent for their elopement, came back two weeks before the reception. My sister was confused by the lack of RSVPs, and then the truth came out. If I recall, he also said something on the lines of "they're not going to come anyway because they're not…

I usually blame it on this type of relative:

wow. I'm kind of glad the worst my MIL did was be indecisive about some major decision for the wedding.

I got a earful for a lot of things on my wedding day. As long as you and your partner enjoy the day, it's all good.

that went smoothly.

Yea, we got these delicious indian-styled grilled lamb chops and there was nothing but a pile of bones by the time my friends were done.

Pretty mad. They're not together anymore.
