EEK..so i totally just was browsing the other boards out there and eek..glad I only post here...cuz im sure id be slaughtered cuz we only have 80 chairs and approx 120 guests (if everyone shows..and already confirmed not all)..so prolly more like 100-110...for our ceremony...(and 2 confirmed wheelchairs)

Do i feel bad that some will have to stand? yes but everyone knows its at a campground and outdoors so if they choose to wear heels and complain? I dont care sorry...call me a B..but it wasnt my money paying for chairs and all FIL's would do was 80 chairs and assured us its fine...

Sorry..just a worry and rant I had to do...

[bcv513]

And for the record, people writing "prolly" is like nails on the chalkboard to me.

[Kit]

She said her FIL would only pay for 80 chairs but.....she couldn't pay for extra chairs?

[pseudoagain]

Andplusalso did you notice it was going to be in a campground? Mud, mud, glorious muuud

Why the fuck can't they pony up the cash to pay for another 40 chairs or whatever? I'm quite sure the chairs we rented were like 1.50 a piece or something. Hardly breaking the bank.

Same.

[PinkSquirrel]

At my wedding a few people had to stand. We were promised there were going to be enough chairs for everyone. I didn't find out there weren't until I was walking down the aisle. At that to the list of reasons I like to shit on my venue every chance I get

[Deleted]

If you know about it ahead of time, and it comes down to cost, that's crap. If you can only afford a wedding for 80 people, you only invite 80 people.

Good friends of ours didn't find out until they arrived at their ceremony that the venue didn't have enough chairs for everyone, so most of us younger guests stood for the ceremony. That I wasn't too upset about, since it was clearly a mistake and the bride was horrified.

But the "fuck those guests for complaining" attitude is crap.

[Jalapeñomel]

Ok, I was lost at "campground." That indicates crappy food and bugs.

[melindafelinda]

My MIL tried to convince me we didn't need chairs for our ceremony. You should have seen my face. I was like, we are old people getting married. Therefore we have even older people coming to this bitch. WE NEED CHAIRS.

[maryjane]

no chairs at our wedding. except for the old folk.

is this the new vow-b-que?

Holy SHIT. I'd be pissed if I was invited to a wedding and I had to stand, honestly.

Ten MILLION JILLION DOLLARS says they have a cash bar and a dollar dance.

We had everyone stand at our wedding...but that's because it rained out our beach ceremony and we had to change locations at the last minute. We had everyone stand around us in the gazeebo (it was a large gazeebo. It would have fit 20 chairs, but we had 50 guests.). It actually was quite nice and traditionally Jewish (think Fiddler on the Roof).

[lightbulbsun]

omg, that's so crazy. That reminds me of the episode of Gilmore Girls where lane gets married and they were all racing to the church because there weren't enough seats.

If you can't afford seats for all the guests, you probably shouldn't have invited that many people.

I had to google dollar dance since I never spent any time on the knot message boards. I cannot believe something like this actually exists.
Dancing, for money, at a wedding, sheesh.

It's a vow-b-que!!

All of this. Stop being a cheap ass and just give up the cash for 40 more chairs.

[kimmer]

That said campground, right??

And, I have wedding outfits. I have a casual wedding outfit, a fancy wedding outfit, a daytime wedding outfit. I do not have a campground wedding that includes flats in case I have to stand outfit.

Does their invitation say "join us at the KOA, site 43, as we exchange our vows"?

[melodramatic26]

Dude, this happened to us!

Went to a wedding about 8 weeks after having Adele. They had it a park. There were only about 40 chairs and about 100 guests!

I didn't know this was happening. Apparently others did. I was pissed. I was outside, in a dress, in a park on a hot September day 8 weeks post partum. It wasn't cool at all and I still make fun of their weddign to this day.

[BlackSmoke]

We had a spontaneous dollar dance at our wedding. I think the bridesmaids decided it needed to be done?

But we had enough chairs for the guests!

[hubes]

We had a dollar dance too. It's trashy tradition. But, we had an open bar. And enough seats for everyone. And all my teeth.

Lane got married?? I stopped watching around the time Rory was dating Logan. I wonder if they're on Netflix...

Not on netflix. Sorry.

Maybe it'll be a potluck, too!

I can't even wrap my head around PURPOSELY not having enough seating. WTF?

[Kit]

If it is accidental that you don't have chairs (venue messed up, flooded beach, whatver) then that's one thing. But knowing in advance that there aren't enough chairs for everyone and then not giving a flying fuck about it, that's quite another.
