so for those of you who''ve been following my "planning" story, you know that FI''s family has been minimally involved. FI says they''re giving us our space, I personally think they''re not too interested.
i''ve done the bulk (ie 99%) of the planning, and it''s nearly driven me insane, but now i''m 3 days away and just want to cruise, relax and enjoy. FI has not had much involvement either, but I''ve come to terms with that. Still, I ran everything by him, confirmed he was ok, asked if his parents would be ok with decisions I made---Ii always was given the green light--whether it was a true green light, or just done out of laziness who knows, but I can''t be asked to read people''s minds.
SO. today, 3 days from the wedding when everythings done, FI tells me his mom wants to move around her tables and is there time. Uh....NO. Placecards are done, table assignements given to the reception. I''m not moving boulders in order to make things happen OR doing something chessy like pull placecards out and have people move around. So I said, NOPE, sorry, too late. (As it stands FI''s brother already had me running around to get him a last minute room at our group rate despite me remnding him and asking FI to remind him literally for the past 6 mo''s).
Anyway, it felt good to say "no" for once!
I know this is kind of a pointless post, but had to get it out!
