I think we all need to unplug every once in a while. Me, especially as we get closer and closer to the BIG day. Thankfully a lot of things are done, but I still feel like our "To Do" is never ending. It doesn't help when people say extremely stupid things to you.
I think every bride can attest to the fact that people tell you things you don't want to hear. What a bride wants to hear is, "Yes, I will be there (and RSVP on time, not bring anyone extra, like you can count on me to actually be there so your not charged a lot of money for me to be a no show), smiling, dressed appropriately, be polite, will sit where you assign me (or not ask questions/demand you sit with whomever), have a good time and then go home or to the hotel (and not drive drunk)". I guess if every wedding guest were like that then weddings wouldn't be soo much fun ;).
I think the one thing that I try to live by in life is also so valid for weddings "Be Honest and Communicate". Yes, I am sad you can't come to my wedding (I wouldn't have invited you if I didn't want you there... (in most cases, j/k). I just need to know and don't really care about what your drama is. I really don't want to know ;) I just want a YES or a NO and I won't be offended either way.
