  7. Sorry to hear about your situation. We went through something similar with my FI's parents. They made up a million and one excuses as to why they would not attend. Then finally, they decided to come and asked if we would invite their neighbours. So I didn't want to, but I wanted his parents to be there because I didn't want him to have any sadness on our wedding day, so we invited the neighbours ... who declined!! That made me mad, because we wasted the money on the invitation for them and they weren't even coming!! Anyway, his parents are coming now, but they are staying in a separate villa. They are going to cook and clean because they didn't want the AI option and both FI and I have agreed that we will not be spending time away from our other guests to hang out with them, They couldn't do what we asked, they had to be difficult and we are not going to let it ruin what we have planned to be an amazing trip. PS so exciting that you leave so soon!!! Good luck and congratulations. I am sure everything will be amazing, and your parents should be ashamed of themselves for missing it!
  8. I do have an update. I had wanted to ask my sister to be a bridesmaid in person, because I knew it would lead to an argument but I was running out of time. I had dress shopping appointments for the last weekend in October and had invited my MOH and other bridesmaid, so I needed to let my sister know her role. So as much as I wanted to do it in person, I called her up. First to even find out if she was going to come since I asked her a month in advance and still had not received a reply. So I say "I really didn't want to do this over the phone, but will you be one of my bridesmaids?" And then silence, and then she starts yelling saying you are unbelievable and bla bla bla. She goes on and on about unrelated issues and tells me I was a terrible MOH (which is true ... but again, if I couldn't get a hold of her to ask her what she wanted my help with, I couldn't really help could I?) So then I start telling her my reasons why. First was that I was going to bight the bullet and do it for mom, but then it took her six days to congratulate me. Six days! And I am her only sibling. And I had called her the next day, texted her the day after that and then called twice more before she finally called. Then I start talking about we are not close anymore and it seems she just doesn't want to bother with us. I made some comment about her caring more about her new family, which she repeated on her end and my brother in law started swearing in the background. Saying "give me the f'n phone, I'll set that bitch straight.' The he made a comment about the wedding present we gave them. I told her to tell him to shut the hell up because this wasn't his fight. She went on a little more then finally hung up. Then right away she cries to my mom, who she NEVER calls. So when the phone rang a short while later I knew it was my mom. She was mad, started yelling at me. Saying I ruined hte family bla bla bla. (She was upset and didn't really mean that, I don't want anyone to think my mom is a bitch because she is the best mom). So then my mom wouldn't talk to me, my sister wouldn't talk to me the only person who would was my dad who agreed with me. He made arrangements for me and my sister to meet with him. So we met in a mall parking lot in my dad's car and my sister yelled and screamed at me for two hours about things that happened 10 years ago, things that weren't even necessarily my fault. It was brutal. I am proud to say that I only yelled once and it was to tell her to stop yelling at me. So I have not spoken to her since. She did not come dress shopping. I have not heard back from her about the wedding invitations we sent. I have still not received a thank you card from her wedding which was in April!!!! Nothing. I invited her here for Christmas, her reply was simply that they would be spending Christmas with his family. No thanks for the invitation. No nothing. So now I am at the point where I really don't even care if she comes to the wedding. She is being extremely selfish and I do not have time for these stupid games. It would be nice if my only sister was there, but I really don't care. Sorry for the long rant! But I am just so mad at the whole situation,

  15. The reason we are asking for replies so early is because we are renting villas. So we need to know how many we need etc. We have made deposits up front to hold one so far, but the others can fill up and then we would be left without accommodations for some of the guests. If people are not sure, then they should at least have the decency to call or e-mail one of us to let us know they are not sure, but want to come. That's what I am so annoyed about. I know we are asking a lot from people, but they could at least let us know. A few people have done and we are fine with it. One friend is trying to work out some finances but really wants to come. We are fine with that. If we were doing a resort thing, then ya, people can book last minute ... but not with this.
  16. So, we sent out invitations to our Nov. 18, 2011 wedding more than a month ago. The reply period expired like two weeks ago and we have received only a small portion back. Mostly no's from people who had said they would come. It's just so frustrating! I mean I know with a destination wedding you can't expect everyone to go. But oyu do expect some people. We have only three yesses back, we know there are more coming, but we really thought we would have 25-30 people coming. I can't even get my own sister, my only sibling, to reply ... that's a whole other story in itself though. And what makes it worse is that some people are mad we are doing this. It's like, it's our wedding and this is how we have dreamed it. Let us do what we want. Sorry, just had to get that out. I am just so mad right now. FI is at the point where he is saying let's just scrap the whole thing and elope ... but that's not what I want. Yes i wanted a small wedding on the beach, yes that is what we will have, I just thought certain people would be there to share in the celebration.
  17. We are in a bit of a different situation than most, as we are renting villas for our wedding. So we need to know exactly how many people are coming so we know how many villas to rent. It's just so frustrating. I thought we would get the no's back for sure, but we haven't even got all those back. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Sorry, just so annoyed about it.
  18. Anjelica Houston = The Witches
