Wow, I wish I had that worry during my wedding planning. Instead I spent sleepless nights wondering if my future mother in law was really going to claw the eyes out of my future father in law’s girlfriend and making sure they weren’t seated at the same table together. Fortunately, she didn’t. Unfortunately, my sister in law got plastered and started stealing liquor from the bar and then started screaming obscenities at her dad when he caught her (I kid you not…fortunately, we were already gone). Oh, and let’s not forget the giant bag of condoms and lube my little brother thought it would be HI-larious to throw at us as we got into our limo. But that’s what makes weddings fun! Besides, their baby news will make everyone start asking you when YOU will be having a baby too!

So girlfriend, get over it. Marriages are ideally only supposed to happen once, so make sure yours last and just take it in stride.

And Bridezilla if the happy couple get to announce their news BEFORE you get married it will be old news by the time your special (coronation?) day comes to pass right?

You remind me why hubby and I eloped some 18 years ago. I could not deal with the crap that comes with weddings..

“Soon” in wedding terms is not necessarily “soon” in baby-expecting terms also. Asking them to delay the news may be self-defeating in that regard.

Personally, I do see this as a bit bridezilla-ish. People knowing about the baby will not take away from your day. Are people ONLY allowed to talk about you at the reception? If so, have a care to what they might be saying.

Ouch. These are presumably people you are going to interact with after the nuptials? You are getting off on the wrong foot girl friend.

A true friend/caring person would be happy at their wonderful news!! Suck it up and be happy for them as I presume they will do for you on your day.

Listen, if those folks start yapping about being pregnant, then you – bridey – should start hinting around that you, too, are perhaps with child. That’ll swing the ol’ focus back around where it belongs.

I will not be upstaged. That’s why my bridesmaids wore burlap shifts and ski masks down the aisle.

Weddings really are all about the details, yes?

Good luck.

Your rocked it sister with that advice! And I know you were being sarcastic and all but my dude TOTALLY cared about what kind of stemware we registered for. He’s all about the stemware. He MARRIED me for the stemware.

As a “bride again” this upcoming October, I couldn’t have responded any better. Well done, Becky, and I wish you the best of luck. Clearly humor will see you through all obstacles. That “fly” is lucky to be in stuck with you.
