My rehearsal is on Thursday, my wedding is on Saturday. I made the rehearsal Thurs. b/c I am making all my centerpieces on Friday night since i’m using real flowers.

I contacted my ring bearer’s parents, their dad is the Bridesmaid or Best Man and told them, they didn’t care and they live in Mass so I wanted to make sure they could come to Jersey and it wouldn’t be a problem.

I then contacted my aunt who lives in South Jersey, she’s singing at the wedding and apprantely it’s a huge deal for her husband to take off a day and half at work, and I know for a fact he has the time to do it, and I told them so early, wedding isn’t till October, so they would have plenty of time to plan. She essentially told me you got to do what you got to do, whatever that means.

Then I contacted my flower girl’s mom, who lives only an hour away. She said she couldn’t possibly make it, she has to work. So I suggested her husband drop the kids off, and she could meet us for the dinner later. She said we shall see.

What exactly does that mean? and how come people make the commitment to be part of a wedding, when the obviously rather not? I’d rather have people say o thanks anyway but i’ll pass, than to flake out on the responsibility.

I am just fed up, I don’t think that i’m asking too much, in fact it’s all i’ve asked anyone to do so what the big deal is I don’t know.

Try not to stress about it too much.  At my rehearsal, my brother didn’t make it due to car trouble and my SIL didn’t make it because for some reason she didn’t connect the dots between there being a rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner.  She just showed up for the dinner… still baffles me but whatever.  It will all work out and be fine if they don’t make it to the rehearsal.  Someone will be there to tell them when to walk down the aisle at the wedding – even if this falls on a bridesmaid.  At my wedding the recessional ended up getting messed up but my dh and I had no idea and now it’s just something funny to see on the dvd.  And in my brother’s wedding the bride’s nephew was supposed to be the ring bearer and was at the rehearsal and ended up sprinting down a side aisle screaming at the wedding – never have a ringbearer under age 5.  In the end it will all be perfect even if the processional and recessional doesn’t go as planned… you will after all be married at that point and that’s all that matters.  I hope this helps – good luck!

Thanks ladybug, i think it’s more annoying than anything. Your right, all will matter is seeing my Fiance at the other end of the aisle.
