Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's a fresh show. It's Kiki's court, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
The honorable Kikilik is here, Judge Kiki, Oh, I'm here, Yes,
take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
All right, let's get into the courtroom, it says Kiki.
My name is Mona. I've been married for two weeks
and I'm already no longer speaking to my mother in law.
Throughout my wedding planning process, she kept trying to add
people to my guest list. My husband and I paid
for our entire wedding by ourselves, and we can only
afford one hundred people. Well, on my wedding day, my
(00:32):
husband and I had to turn away twenty additional guests
that my mother in law invited instead of us enjoying
our reception. We were arguing and debating if we should
just eat the additional costs or tell the uninvited guests
to go home. I stood my ground and turned them
all away, which resulted in my mother in law throwing
(00:53):
a fit at our wedding reception. She stormed out, missing
most of the night and caused a complete scene. We
haven't spoken, and now I'm wondering if I made the
right decision.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, okay, all right, Judge geeky, what say you.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Mona, I'm on your side.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I am on your side with this because I've said
this to every wedding I've been in and every bride
I've stood beside. It's like, your wedding is not the
family reunion.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
You know, your cousins that you haven't seen in years.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
If you have no direct communication with these people on
a regular basis, you should not feel pressure to add
them to your guest list.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And your wedding is a day for you and your husband.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It is not about your mom's guest list, your grandma's
guest list, like they need to have a party if
they miss their family, that bad. Because when you think
about how expensive a wedding can cost, would you pay
seventy dollars to eat with cousin Sally on.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
A regular day?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So why would I pay for a seventy dollars plate
for her to come to my wedding and we don't
even speak?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So yeah, just so I'm clear, and you mentioned it,
I'm just want to be certain to have all the
proper details before I assess my position on this serious. Yes,
but they paid for it. The parents didn't pay for it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, the bride and the groom paid for the wedding
and they could only afford four hundred people.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, well then no, then then I didn't Pauline in
your family, wasn't it this way where they paid for
their own guests.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
No, we paid for our guests, but we also didn't
have anything like you know, crazy over the top legover
budget kind of like I don't know if this is
how how Mona's was.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
But the thing is, though, even if they pay.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
For their own guests, like your mother in law or whatever,
your in law's pay for their own guests, some people
just want to do small weddings. So if you only
have like a fifty person wedding, which my best friend
wants to do that, and then you know his mother
in law invites you know, the family extend to the
cousins or whatever from the other state, then now the
wedding's one hundred people.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Right or you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I'm just more impressed they came up, they come up.
I'm more impressed they come up. I'm more impressed they
came up with four hundred people and they didn't include
all the random cousins and stuff like that, because there's
no way there's no way. I don't I wouldn't be
able to invit four hundred people. No, they invited one
hundred people. One I don't know why I got four
hundred from either way, that's a lot of people I
(03:03):
don't even I guess it is. And the problem with
being married or getting married when you're older, you know,
I'm in my early forties or whatever is that Now
I know a lot of people and not everybody probably
needs to be at my wedding, but a lot of
people probably think they should be, right, you know what
I mean? So, like there would be a lot of
people offended if I had a wedding of any you know,
size that wasn't beyond just family and my sister, mom, dad,
(03:27):
you know, maybe a couple close friends. Even then though
I think there'd be a lot of people in my
life like what do you mean? I didn't get invited
to the wedding? Like what do you mean? And so
I can see why at this point in my life,
I can see why older people when they get married,
or people who are not you know, twenty something anymore
or whatever, or second marriage is I can see why
they just go off and the elope because you don't
have to deal with any of this. You don't have
(03:48):
to worry about who who got invited and who didn't
get invited. You don't have to have anyone else's opinion
on this, parents or other family members, because it's like, look,
I just went off and did it, and it's done,
and it's over and nobody came. And then maybe you
have a party afterwards, and that's not the expense of
a wedding, and you can invite everybody who wants to go,
because I don't think you should be obligated to pay
(04:09):
for people that you don't want there. It's your money. Now,
I've heard of people in the past where it's like
we're paying for the wedding, but then the parents on
each side pay for their guests. So like if they
insist on Aunt Sally, and they insist on Uncle Rico
or whatever else, then then they can pay for that.
(04:30):
But the other issue with that is if I wanted them,
if I wanted somebody there, I probably would have invited them.
So like, why am I giving you guys an extra
guest list, like an extraneous guest list. Why why do
you now get to change the whole vibe in my
wedding with a bunch of people.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The only way I can see that being a thing
is if they if the parents paid for it, because
if you're going to take somebody else's money, then they're
going to get input on who gets to go. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
I also did one thing that I don't know if
it's common or not, is I did tell my mom
and my mother in law like, if they wanted to invite,
let's just say like a really good friend or something,
or someone that they worked with for twenty years. My
mom has been the same job forever, so she was
really close to her coworkers who saw me grow up.
And I was like, oh, you know, if you want
to invite somebody, like, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Please do.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Obviously they wouldn't be on my let's just say my list, right,
They're not top of mind for me.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But I wanted my mom in laws.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
To invite people that maybe I don't know who they are,
but you know, havy my husband maybe like grew up
with this person like a family friend that I don't
know who that is, you know, or my mom like
I don't have a lot of family here in the country,
so they weren't coming out from Poland. They were't gonna
fly out here for my wedding, And I was like, well, mom,
who do you want to invite?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Right? That is like family that I might not be
aware of or on my radar. Did she take them advantage? Yeah,
she brought my high school English teacher. Oh yeah, she
was holding hands with Yes, like me too.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You were smart to have a destination wedding too, because
I think that weeds him out as well.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Because not everyone's going to pay for that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, to hear from the brides, because I can only
like I get particular about a dinner party, like is
my dinner party?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
This is why I want at the table.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So I can only imagine when it's the biggest day
of your life, you know, not the biggest day, but
you know, one of the most important days of your life,
and you feel like you have to please everybody else.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Absolutely not So.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Eight five, five, five, nine, one one oh three five
you can call it text the same number. But you
guys are the jury in Kiki's court. I want to know,
do you do you think that you should do you
think that your parents should be able to inject guests
onto the guest list because well, so and so is important,
and so and so is important and whatever. You know,
(06:39):
as where you may favor friends or coworkers or whatever.
I mean, do you think that your family should get
some kind of input and who gets to go to
this stuff? Or do you think, no, it's my wedding.
I paid for it, and so I'll choose and if
that upsets family, well, then I guess that's a me
problem and not a you problem, because I guess the
other problem here is that you know, maybe you're not
as close with certain people as you're parents are. They
(07:01):
think they should be there. You'd rather invite someone who
you met more recently. It might cause long term damage.
You don't care right now, but your parents are like, no,
they have to come, Like, come on, they they were
part of your upbringing or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean. It's comp families complicated.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
No, it really is.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But I think I think the fair thing is to maybe,
if you can afford it, offer your parents a table
and you say, listen, this is your table. Fill it
with whoever you want to feel it with outside of
your table.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The rest is my wedding. You know what I'm saying.
I feel like that's more than fair.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We're talking one hundred dollars a plate at these some
of these maquet halls.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
It's expensive, very.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, because I would even again, I would even say,
even if you were paying for people to come, like
you want to to Paulina's point, you want to invite
your coworkers. You want to invite people that you know.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well maybe I've never even met them. I'm not paying
for that. But I also, even if you're paying for it,
I don't even know if I want them there.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't know them. Ye.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
True, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's tricky.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, they're just hanging out, drinking my free bar, you know, dancing,
doing the electric slide, and I don't even notice person, right, Like, that's.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
What I'm saying, Like even if you said, okay, fine,
you can pay, you can pay for fifty more people
if you want fifty more people to come, Like even
if you were to say that, okay, well I don't
know these people. Like for example, my well, my parents
paid for my sister's wedding, but they then had input
on who got to go. And there were some people
that were like friends but also clients of my parents'
(08:31):
business and stuff like that. They got invited and that
took up space from because the number of guests didn't change,
the number of people who could come didn't change, but
they paid for it. So they were like, well, we're
inviting so and so and so. My sister couldn't say
very much. And then some of those people didn't show up,
and so, well, my parents were pissed, and they had
every reason to me. My sister was more pissed because
(08:53):
she was like, well, we had to invite so and
so they didn't even come. And then these other people
that I did want to invite wouldn't come because we
had to invite so and so. And I couldn't say
anything to you because it was your money. But then
here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
It's respectful like to not show up after your RSVBDA.
I'm not talking about like like emergency, like the craziest
thing you've ever seen, you.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Know, car flipped over, arms fallen off. Oh no, that
would be I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That might be a reason not to go to a wedding.
I might.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I might be like, well wait a minute, though, like
could the ambulance have stopped? Could you have like pull up,
you know, like what do you mean pull up by
me and my wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
A bunch of texts.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
My mother in law wanted people my husband and I
didn't want or no, we paid for one hundred percent,
and she threatened to keep the money that they were
going to give us. Oh, I guess it's a gift.
So we laughed at her. No one's going to control
my story, that's what this person said. Yeah, I like
that one. Yes, I had friends that had their wedding
in Colorado just to avoid having a bunch of people come. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I think that's a very smart thing.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The further away you have it and the more expensive
it is, you got to realize that fewer people are
going to come, but you might be able to use
that to your advantage.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Remember when Paulina tried Thanksgiving week?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh, I do.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Up again.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
For those of you who are new friends of this year,
Paulina got married what last two years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Last year? I can't keep.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, you were pregnant, so it was yeah, it was
like a year and a half ago, right last summer
or tummer anyway, whatever, and and so the initial plan
was Mexico on Thanksgiving week, and then you were offended
that people wouldn't go. You were offended that people were
saying they couldn't go, And I'm like, Paulina, it's Thanksgiving
in Mexico, Like that's a very nice thing, except most
(10:43):
people want to spend Thanksgiving with their family. You're asking
people to go to your wedding on a holiday. You
can't be upset if people don't go. If you're gonna
have your if you're gonna have your wedding an all
inclusive resort in Mexico that is going to coust people
a little bit of money. You also can't be offended
if they don't go.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I know, I had to grow up from that mentality
because I st don't like Thanksgiving guys. No, that's I
don't really care for it. But hey, listen, it all
worked out in the end in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So you were the reverse. I thought it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I thought you planned it that way so that maybe
people can't come. Y're saying like, oh, I know they
won't come now because it's on this day. But yeah,
OURSVP to a wedding and I show up. That is
extremely rude. But as his mother in law like, she
threw a fit at the reception too, And now it's
not speaking to her daughter in law because she turned
people away.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
See, let's talk to Eva. Eva's the one. Good morning,
by the way, good morning. So you're the one that
laughed at your your mother in law because you're like, no,
you're not inviting people to this wedding, especially if I'm
paying for it's my day exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
My husband and I excuse me, paid for our wedding
and one hundred percent, and she was like, well, we're
keeping the.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Twenty five hundred and we're not coming.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And we're like, okay, it's gonna cost way more than that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So what exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
But she ended up coming. The day was great, But
it's just like the threatening is not gonna work, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yes, yeah, And why is it up to you to
determine who comes to my stuff, like, especially if you're
not paying for it?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Exactly? Yeah, Like, hey, thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You too, Bye bye.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Look at this all these people weddings, Man, it brings
out all kinds of drama, Like everyone's got a wedding story.
Both my sisters had holiday weddings and then wonder wondered
why people didn't come.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
That where a y'all at right?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I mean forget that Turkey ways come to myself.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I had my wedding on Christmas in Mexico and nobody
showed up.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's very offensive. I'm like, what do you mean you
don't What do you mean you won't come?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Beautiful though, come on, like holiday is in Mexico on
the beach in Kenkoon.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Because yeah, it does sound nice except for the whole you.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Know, family thing is family tradition.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, whatever problem solve, I think we all agree.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
If it ain't your day and you're not paying for it,
then you don't have a like to stand On the
Entertainment Report, we'll do it in two minutes.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Headlines and fund set coming up.
It's a fresh show. It's Kiki's court, all right.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
The honorable Kikilik is here, Judge Kiki, Oh, I'm here, Yes,
take it away.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
All right, let's get into the courtroom, it says Kiki.
My name is Mona. I've been married for two weeks
and I'm already no longer speaking to my mother in law.
Throughout my wedding planning process, she kept trying to add
people to my guest list. My husband and I paid
for our entire wedding by ourselves, and we can only
afford one hundred people. Well, on my wedding day, my
(00:32):
husband and I had to turn away twenty additional guests
that my mother in law invited instead of us enjoying
our reception. We were arguing and debating if we should
just eat the additional costs or tell the uninvited guests
to go home. I stood my ground and turned them
all away, which resulted in my mother in law throwing
(00:53):
a fit at our wedding reception. She stormed out, missing
most of the night and caused a complete scene. We
haven't spoken, and now I'm wondering if I made the
right decision.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Yeah, okay, all right, Judge geeky, what say you.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Mona, I'm on your side.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
I am on your side with this because I've said
this to every wedding I've been in and every bride
I've stood beside. It's like, your wedding is not the
family reunion.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
You know, your cousins that you haven't seen in years.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
If you have no direct communication with these people on
a regular basis, you should not feel pressure to add
them to your guest list.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
And your wedding is a day for you and your husband.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
It is not about your mom's guest list, your grandma's
guest list, like they need to have a party if
they miss their family, that bad. Because when you think
about how expensive a wedding can cost, would you pay
seventy dollars to eat with cousin Sally on.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
A regular day?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
No?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So why would I pay for a seventy dollars plate
for her to come to my wedding and we don't
even speak?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
So yeah, just so I'm clear, and you mentioned it,
I'm just want to be certain to have all the
proper details before I assess my position on this serious. Yes,
but they paid for it. The parents didn't pay for it.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, the bride and the groom paid for the wedding
and they could only afford four hundred people.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Yeah, well then no, then then I didn't Pauline in
your family, wasn't it this way where they paid for
their own guests.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
No, we paid for our guests, but we also didn't
have anything like you know, crazy over the top legover
budget kind of like I don't know if this is
how how Mona's was.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
But the thing is, though, even if they pay.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
For their own guests, like your mother in law or whatever,
your in law's pay for their own guests, some people
just want to do small weddings. So if you only
have like a fifty person wedding, which my best friend
wants to do that, and then you know his mother
in law invites you know, the family extend to the
cousins or whatever from the other state, then now the
wedding's one hundred people.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Right or you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I'm just more impressed they came up, they come up.
I'm more impressed they come up. I'm more impressed they
came up with four hundred people and they didn't include
all the random cousins and stuff like that, because there's
no way there's no way. I don't I wouldn't be
able to invit four hundred people. No, they invited one
hundred people. One I don't know why I got four
hundred from either way, that's a lot of people I
(03:03):
don't even I guess it is. And the problem with
being married or getting married when you're older, you know,
I'm in my early forties or whatever is that Now
I know a lot of people and not everybody probably
needs to be at my wedding, but a lot of

(03:27):
you know, maybe a couple close friends. Even then though
I think there'd be a lot of people in my
life like what do you mean? I didn't get invited
to the wedding? Like what do you mean? And so
I can see why at this point in my life,
I can see why older people when they get married,
or people who are not you know, twenty something anymore
or whatever, or second marriage is I can see why
they just go off and the elope because you don't
have to deal with any of this. You don't have
(03:48):
to worry about who who got invited and who didn't
get invited. You don't have to have anyone else's opinion

I just went off and did it, and it's done,
and it's over and nobody came. And then maybe you

(04:30):
But the other issue with that is if I wanted them,
if I wanted somebody there, I probably would have invited them.
So like, why am I giving you guys an extra

you now get to change the whole vibe in my

Speaker 1 (04:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
The only way I can see that being a thing
is if they if the parents paid for it, because
if you're going to take somebody else's money, then they're

Speaker 5 (04:58):
I also did one thing that I don't know if
it's common or not, is I did tell my mom
and my mother in law like, if they wanted to invite,
let's just say like a really good friend or something,
or someone that they worked with for twenty years. My
mom has been the same job forever, so she was
really close to her coworkers who saw me grow up.
And I was like, oh, you know, if you want
to invite somebody, like, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Please do.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Obviously they wouldn't be on my let's just say my list, right,
They're not top of mind for me.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
But I wanted my mom in laws.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
To invite people that maybe I don't know who they are,
but you know, havy my husband maybe like grew up
with this person like a family friend that I don't
know who that is, you know, or my mom like
I don't have a lot of family here in the country,
so they weren't coming out from Poland. They were't gonna
fly out here for my wedding, And I was like, well, mom,
who do you want to invite?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
Right? That is like family that I might not be
aware of or on my radar. Did she take them advantage? Yeah,
she brought my high school English teacher. Oh yeah, she
was holding hands with Yes, like me too.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
You were smart to have a destination wedding too, because
I think that weeds him out as well.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Because not everyone's going to pay for that.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, to hear from the brides, because I can only
like I get particular about a dinner party, like is
my dinner party?
Speaker 4 (06:06):
This is why I want at the table.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
So I can only imagine when it's the biggest day
of your life, you know, not the biggest day, but
you know, one of the most important days of your life,
and you feel like you have to please everybody else.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Absolutely not So.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Eight five, five, five, nine, one one oh three five
you can call it text the same number. But you
guys are the jury in Kiki's court. I want to know,
do you do you think that you should do you
think that your parents should be able to inject guests
onto the guest list because well, so and so is important,
and so and so is important and whatever. You know,
(06:39):
as where you may favor friends or coworkers or whatever.
I mean, do you think that your family should get
some kind of input and who gets to go to
this stuff? Or do you think, no, it's my wedding.
I paid for it, and so I'll choose and if
that upsets family, well, then I guess that's a me
problem and not a you problem, because I guess the
other problem here is that you know, maybe you're not
as close with certain people as you're parents are. They
(07:01):
think they should be there. You'd rather invite someone who
you met more recently. It might cause long term damage.
You don't care right now, but your parents are like, no,
they have to come, Like, come on, they they were
part of your upbringing or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I mean. It's comp families complicated.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
No, it really is.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
But I think I think the fair thing is to maybe,
if you can afford it, offer your parents a table
and you say, listen, this is your table. Fill it
with whoever you want to feel it with outside of
your table.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
The rest is my wedding. You know what I'm saying.
I feel like that's more than fair.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
We're talking one hundred dollars a plate at these some
of these maquet halls.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
It's expensive, very.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, because I would even again, I would even say,
even if you were paying for people to come, like
you want to to Paulina's point, you want to invite
your coworkers. You want to invite people that you know.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't know that.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Well maybe I've never even met them. I'm not paying
for that. But I also, even if you're paying for it,
I don't even know if I want them there.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
I don't know them. Ye.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
True, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's tricky.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, they're just hanging out, drinking my free bar, you know, dancing,
doing the electric slide, and I don't even notice person, right, Like, that's.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
What I'm saying, Like even if you said, okay, fine,
you can pay, you can pay for fifty more people
if you want fifty more people to come, Like even
if you were to say that, okay, well I don't
know these people. Like for example, my well, my parents
paid for my sister's wedding, but they then had input
on who got to go. And there were some people
that were like friends but also clients of my parents'
(08:31):
business and stuff like that. They got invited and that
took up space from because the number of guests didn't change,
the number of people who could come didn't change, but
they paid for it. So they were like, well, we're
inviting so and so and so. My sister couldn't say
very much. And then some of those people didn't show up,
and so, well, my parents were pissed, and they had
every reason to me. My sister was more pissed because
(08:53):
she was like, well, we had to invite so and
so they didn't even come. And then these other people
that I did want to invite wouldn't come because we
had to invite so and so. And I couldn't say
anything to you because it was your money. But then
here we go.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
It's respectful like to not show up after your RSVBDA.
I'm not talking about like like emergency, like the craziest
thing you've ever seen, you.
Speaker 4 (09:16):
Know, car flipped over, arms fallen off. Oh no, that
would be I'm serious.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
That might be a reason not to go to a wedding.
I might.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I might be like, well wait a minute, though, like
could the ambulance have stopped? Could you have like pull up,
you know, like what do you mean pull up by
me and my wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
A bunch of texts.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
My mother in law wanted people my husband and I
didn't want or no, we paid for one hundred percent,
and she threatened to keep the money that they were
going to give us. Oh, I guess it's a gift.
So we laughed at her. No one's going to control
my story, that's what this person said. Yeah, I like
that one. Yes, I had friends that had their wedding
in Colorado just to avoid having a bunch of people come. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I think that's a very smart thing.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
The further away you have it and the more expensive
it is, you got to realize that fewer people are
going to come, but you might be able to use
that to your advantage.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Remember when Paulina tried Thanksgiving week?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh, I do.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Up again.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
For those of you who are new friends of this year,
Paulina got married what last two years ago?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Last year? I can't keep.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Well, you were pregnant, so it was yeah, it was
like a year and a half ago, right last summer
or tummer anyway, whatever, and and so the initial plan
was Mexico on Thanksgiving week, and then you were offended
that people wouldn't go. You were offended that people were
saying they couldn't go, And I'm like, Paulina, it's Thanksgiving
in Mexico, Like that's a very nice thing, except most
(10:43):
people want to spend Thanksgiving with their family. You're asking
people to go to your wedding on a holiday. You
can't be upset if people don't go. If you're gonna
have your if you're gonna have your wedding an all
inclusive resort in Mexico that is going to coust people
a little bit of money. You also can't be offended
if they don't go.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
I know, I had to grow up from that mentality
because I st don't like Thanksgiving guys. No, that's I
don't really care for it. But hey, listen, it all
worked out in the end in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
So you were the reverse. I thought it.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I thought you planned it that way so that maybe
people can't come. Y're saying like, oh, I know they
won't come now because it's on this day. But yeah,
OURSVP to a wedding and I show up. That is
extremely rude. But as his mother in law like, she
threw a fit at the reception too, And now it's
not speaking to her daughter in law because she turned
people away.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
See, let's talk to Eva. Eva's the one. Good morning,
by the way, good morning. So you're the one that
laughed at your your mother in law because you're like, no,
you're not inviting people to this wedding, especially if I'm
paying for it's my day exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
My husband and I excuse me, paid for our wedding
and one hundred percent, and she was like, well, we're
keeping the.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Twenty five hundred and we're not coming.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And we're like, okay, it's gonna cost way more than that.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So what exactly?
Speaker 4 (11:57):
But she ended up coming. The day was great, But
it's just like the threatening is not gonna work, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yes, yeah, And why is it up to you to
determine who comes to my stuff, like, especially if you're
not paying for it?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Exactly? Yeah, Like, hey, thank you, have a great day.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
You too, Bye bye.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Look at this all these people weddings, Man, it brings
out all kinds of drama, Like everyone's got a wedding story.
Both my sisters had holiday weddings and then wonder wondered
why people didn't come.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
That where a y'all at right?
Speaker 4 (12:30):
I mean forget that Turkey ways come to myself.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I had my wedding on Christmas in Mexico and nobody
showed up.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
It's very offensive. I'm like, what do you mean you
don't What do you mean you won't come?
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Beautiful though, come on, like holiday is in Mexico on
the beach in Kenkoon.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Because yeah, it does sound nice except for the whole you.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Know, family thing is family tradition.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Yeah, whatever problem solve, I think we all agree.
Speaker 2 (12:56):

then you don't have a like to stand On the
Entertainment Report, we'll do it in two minutes.
