Speaker 1 (00:00):
Kind of in that position right now with mine and
Alyssa's my fiance. We're planning it, and then there's someone
that we're really really close to, a couple and they're
kind of doing this thing right now where they're together
and then they break up. They're doing this on and
off and on and off. They've been doing it for
the last couple of months now. They've kind of been
(00:20):
on the inside of where we're going to get married.
They know that a lot of people that have asked,
and we're not even telling people that just yet, even
if they are getting invited, So these people are kind
of on the inside that others are not. The thing is, though,
is that we're more close with the girl, not the guy.
(00:41):
So if they continue this whole breaking up thing, we
don't even want to send them the invitation. We don't
want this guy to get the invitation. God forbid. If
they're not together, that's just a wasted plate. Brittany, So
you actually think that everyone should get a plus one
(01:02):
because it's it's less drama, and maybe the drama is
you know, worth the extra money you're gonna have to
shell out. I mean, that could double the price of
a wedding. Really, I mean, can.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
You hear me?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, okay, I just know from my experience, like and
being a like okay, obviously, like I thought about that,
like during my wedding, you know what I mean. And
you have to think about if you have just like
a bunch of like single girls and a bunch of
single guys at a wedding, Yeah, it's there is alcohol involved,
(01:43):
and then you have to worry about you know, like
I don't know how many people from your family and
her family are there that are also single. I just
know from my personal experience it was kind of towards
the end of the list, Like the reception, there was
a lot of drama. It's just like a lot of
(02:06):
my things not really even single friends. It was just
we just invited my friends, but we didn't want the
plus one. So some of my friends were like grinding
on some of my newly husband's family members and it
(02:27):
was it was just the whole thing, like it's still
talked about because we didn't want, you know, and I
just I don't know, and I know, like financially totally
understand that, but do you just have to be prepared
for that.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
By the way, Bertie's funny you say that, because when
we look at the list, we always go, all right,
who is my creepy uncle going to try to hit on?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
When it comes to a creepy uncle.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Something tells me my brother, who is in a fraternity
at his college, he's probably gonna be very excited to, uh,
you know, spend some time in the most beautiful city
in the whole entire world that I know he's obsessed
with and wants to move to once he graduates from
Michigan State. And I know that he's obsessed with Alissa's friends,
(03:12):
So Luke might be a problem.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
Guys, you have to like you have to like keep
that in mind, like I have to go check on
right now.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, oh god, all right, I got I gotta figure
this out. Thank you, Brittany, you're the best. Let's move
on to another Brittany. Now that was Brittany and Saint Pete.
Now we're in clear Water and Brittany, you want invited
your father? I did, Oh my God, talk to me more,
because that that right there, My heart sinks to my butt.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yes, it was actually one of the reasons that I,
my husband and I spoke about getting married sooner. Was
because of my dad's age, and then he got uninvited
to the wedding. So my parents were married for nearly
forty years, and it was still very fresh to me,
even though it had been a couple of years, and
my dad was insistent on bringing his new girlfriend, had
(04:10):
who had caused a lot of conflict with my mom
and they had just been causing stress in her life,
and I didn't want it to be at my wedding.
So I told my dad, you know, as much as
I would love for you to be there, you know,
I'm just going to take it as you're not coming,
and if you change your mind about not bringing Heidi,
then you know, the invitation is open. He called me
back later on and what's that.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I love how you just went in on Heidi. You
go Heidi.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Oh yeah, it's not a secret.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
What did he say?
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Well, the first this went on for months, so like
he just kept calling and every time he would try
to get an invite for her, I would tell him no.
And then you know, one day he just called me
in tears and saying that he wanted to miss it
for the world and he's not going to bring her.
So he know, move past that and he did not
bring her. Now, in fact, they're not even together. So
(05:04):
it's good.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Look at that you called it. Okay, all right, I'm
gonna take that down as a note. I mean, listen,
if you've got the balls to uninvite your dad, maybe
we just need to get this guy out of here.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Both, well, I think the biggest thing it's just also
you could tell them, you know, y'all don't want anything
to take away from your day, and just because they've
had so much drama recently, they don't. You don't want
it to affect your wedding.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's so funny. Alyssa says the same thing. I think
she's like turning into a wedding expert and we haven't
even gotten married yet. She'd like, is looking into everything.
I feel like she's on like Reddit threads trying to
figure this all out. Meanwhile, I'm like, I don't want
to hurt their feelings. She's like, it's about our feelings. Yeah,
like I know, but still I care about it.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
I had invited a high school friend and she wasn't
upset either.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Well she is, but well, I will say, like now
that I'm getting married, like, obviously it's important to me
because it's my wedding. But anytime I've ever gotten an invitation,
especially from Alyssa's friends, I don't ever want to go.
I've never I've never gotten a wedding invitation and been like,
oh thank god, I can't wait for this weekend to
(06:11):
be completely taken over by these people.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So sometimes I feel like we think our weddings are
more important than actually what other people think.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
So after hearing all this, it makes me think of
one thing, and one thing only. My sister is talking
to me about this over the weekend because she's like, oh, well,
is Redina gonna come to Joe's wedding if you get
when you get invited, And I said, I don't know
who my sister did, and she's like, well, you know
what the policy is, no ring, no bring.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Now. Oh wait, because Alyssa does have a ring. Yeah,
as I says to Luke's wedding, Yeah she has a ring.
She's engaged. Oh well yeah, so I got I got
some work to do. I got some work to do.
I think Brian from IDC might be in today. We
could talk to him, all right, get her a fake ring?
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Well I kind of want to get before you get
her a rank,
Kind of in that position right now with mine and
Alyssa's my fiance. We're planning it, and then there's someone
that we're really really close to, a couple and they're
kind of doing this thing right now where they're together
and then they break up. They're doing this on and
