2nd one sounds kinda fun and funny.
The others....maybe you can have cupcakes and nix the caketopper altogether?
lol, Get a kids bouncer to set up in the parking lot and let them take their aggressions out there and away from the actual reception.
Honestly, sounds like you just have to have a firm hand about a few things. A fun prank is one thing but make sure your FI knows what's off limits and would really upset you and what could be amusing. Try to keep a good sense of humor with it but still be firm about the absoulte Nos.
I shot down a lot of ideas of our months of planning.
@kala_way: I have to laugh at what you wrote! So funny enough I am seriously thinking that cupcakes are the way to go! But more than that I am renting a bounce house & mini pools for the kids... however, your plan sounds good too! rofl
I know that there is no way around the signs during the ceremony, and I would much rather that than something else. Besides, the GM that is making them is a phenomenal painter so they will be nicely done. lol Thanks lady!
I would have a serious talk with your FI about what is and is not acceptable at the wedding and have him pass the word along, since it's his side coming up with all of these gags. As much as the reception is meant to be fun, the entire event itself is still a fairly solemn occasion, and anything that really undermines that should be a no-go.
I'm not sure if this will be an issue, but could the signs from idea #2 potentially obstruct your photographer(s)? If there is any possibility of that, they need to either be nixed altogether for the ceremony, or only displayed at an agreed-upon point in the ceremony (i.e. NOT during your vows, the rings, the kiss, etc.). Some photographers have clauses about guests not interfering in their shots.
And I think #3 would be best kept to the bachelor party or the rehearsal dinner. I don't know where you're getting married but I'm pretty sure most venues wouldn't be too happy with someone being thrown through a table, even if it's BYOT (Bring Your Own Table).
@Fixin2BMrs.Awesome:lol, no worries. Sounds like know how to deal with your crew. Maybe get their significant others on your side :D
Tehee this made me giggle a bit :) People have such strange ideas! You still have a while to convince people that these ideas are not what you had in mind! Maybe get your bridesmaids & groomsmen to have a few words nearer the wedding and ensure there are no secret plans for anything like this? Good luck :)
Although all these "plans" by the GM sounds interestingly funny, I think he needs to be reminded that this is a wedding - a union of "two" people - and not a single man's birthday party, lol!
Um, throwing him through a table... hmph... perhaps remind them that you do intend having a wedding night with your new hubby, and don't want him having a concussion before the wedding is even over.
I guess they just want to add some "fun" into it all and his GM is quite sweet trying to incorporate his friend's likes and wanting to make it a night to remember. Maybe you should just talk to him. Tell him you appreciate what he is trying to do but that certain things are just not appropriate.
Regarding your half on to the wedding topper, perhaps have yours dressed in an outfit one of the ladies usually wear when they introduce or walk alongside the wrestlers? Lol, that way you can show him you supportive of what he likes and being flexible and fun too :)
As for the cake topper, are you having a groom's cake? Maybe have a groom's cake made to look like a wrestling ring (or whatever it's called) and have the wrestling action figure groom posed with a wrestling action figure bride. Then you could have a 'regular' topper on the wedding cake.
@Fixin2BMrs.Awesome: YOu have a hiliarious family
we need more light hearted individuals like that.
However, with that said, I am sad that they are imputting wedding advice when you probably did not solicit it. However , for the cake topper how about using it for his Bachelor party or your engagement dinner or pre-wedding celebration .
For throwing your FI over the table, unless you have good insurance not HMO than go for it! I Kid I kid then they would charge you the table and you would not have a honeymoon but a bad honey mood.
Their ideas would be great for a pre-wedding celebration, show them pictures so they get the idea that you are not having a wrestling theme wedding .

Sorry, there are no users yet.
Ok Bees... I may be jumping the gun and having a premature heart attack on this one. There is still 10 months, 8 days, 2 hours, and 54 minutes until the wedding... Maybe some of the ideas that Mr.Awesome, & his family, have planned will wear off, RIGHT?!?
Example 1.) The cake topper: Mr.Awesome is a die-hard wrestling fan. This is to be expected as he grew up essentially, on the top rope, with some big name wrestlers being his cousin/Mom's friend/whatever. We LIVE wrestling. Well, one of his GM found a Sting action figure and has made it a mini tux with the idea that this is going to be Mr.A's half of the cake topper. Ack! Can you puhhhhlease tell me what in the H@** I can do for my half???
2.) During the ceremony: I found out, on accident, that the same GM is making the FFIL signs to hold up during the ceremony. I mean like WWE/TNA fan signs. I am sure that they will be beautiful buuuut not for our wedding. His family always has some prank to play at weddings. For his cousin's they pulled out mullet wigs and serenaded the bride, pretty cute actually. (And totally reasonable!)
3.) At the reception: Some of the GM have a bright idea to stage an event ending with future husband being thrown threw a table. When this was first proposed I kind of giggled at the idea because I honestly believed this was a passing thought. Apparently, 4 months later, it still sounds like a great idea. UGH!
Believe me, I understand that this day is for both of us but the thought that some of what is being planned is going to mortify my family is enough to make me cry. My attempts at pointing this out have gone unheard and I guess, I have held out hope that as we move closer to our day, it will be forgotten. (Or moved to the bachelor party!)
Thanks for the ears!
