! am not sure if you gals remember that woman I had complained about in the past about getting pregnant on purpose so they wouldn't have to go t the wedding (FH's best friend's wife). Well she just did herself in!
Last night FH comes home from work and asks me if I want to go to dinner with them. Now, he already knows I cannot stand her, but because that is his bet friend, I said ok. I was in a good mood and I figured what the hell.
So we are chatting in the restaurant and having a nice time and she starts making little remarks like she always does. Like when I stated we are took a dance lessons, she laughed and said to Gary "is she going to make you wear a tutu too?" Or when she asked Gary how the wedding planning was going and he said ask me because I know more of the details than he does. She says "well does she let you make any decisions"? There were other little remarks that annoyed both me and Gary but we let it go.
But the crap hit the fan she asked if we are playing the chicken dance.I said "No. We have a list of 75 songs and if the DJ deviates from that list, he breaks his contract."
She says, "what if someone requests a song"? I say, "the DJ cannot okay it if it's on our DO Not Play List".
Well she goes bezerk saying how she has never heard of such a thing, how that is the most rude and arrogant thing ever, and that the wedding, GET THIS, is not about us. She says this over and over, about 6 or 7 times and she says it loud and agitated. Gary says to her "it's ok, relax" and she says "why" with such a nasty attitude and I am just sitting there stewing, knowing that I absolutely cannot open my mouth because if I do, we will be walking home from the restaurant. Eventually her husband says to her "honey calm down", but she shoots hit the nastiest look and he just puts his head down.
So Gary is still telling her to relax and that we are just trying to have a nice dinner and she is still saying "why". I am sitting there eating my hot buffalo wings, with no alcohol in sight. I wanted to reach over and smack the daylights out of her. But, proudly, I kept my self control.
So the rest of the night the 3 of us chatted and she sat there looking like an idot. She didn't even say goodbye when we separated. What a fitch!!!
When we walked in the house I said to FH, "I am done with her!" And he agreed.
Are we wrong to not want to hear the friggin chicken dance or the damn electric slide? We are paying for this aren't we? We are providing the fitch with food and beverage right? You mean to tell me she cannot deal with not hearing the fooking money dance. Give Me a friggin break!!!!
So, she is now removed from the bridal shower, the bridal party dinner, and I know they aren't coming to the wedding now. I am fine with it. I just feel bad because her husband is such a nice guy.
Let it go. This woman has proved not only to you but to Gary and her own husband that she is in fact a bitch. I feel bad for her husband but encourage Gary to just do boys only things with his best friend but just keep the moratorium on no activities with both of them. She is a bitch her loss and do not even stress over it.
WOW, what a piece of work! She has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is indeed a bitch. If any day is about you, isn't is your wedding day? It is your right to have whatever you please at your wedding - If it were me I wouldn't even allow the DJ to play requested songs. It just adds to the uncertainty as to how your day is going to go. If you can prevent any disasters, or even minor glitches, by planning out exactly what is going to happen (music included) then do it - anyone who tells you otherwise is either crazy or married to Gary's best friend! If you don't want to do it, don't. It is your divine right as a bride.

You are completely right with not wanting certain songs played at your wedding. I don't want a DJ for that exact reason but a band might be too expensive. It is about you and your husband that day not the guests and if you want certain things played or not then that is your decision.
Just forget about that girl and don't hang around her.
Oh my god, what a bitch. i give you a lot of credit for not saying anything. i don't think i would have been able to stay quiet.
"the wedding is not about you"!!! what planet did this thing come from? she's like the wedding guest from hell. you poor thing for having to deal with her.
that's great that you're cutting her out of the shower and dinner. i would totally be worried that she would do something to try to ruin it. i hope this is the last you have to deal with her.
wow. i think it is awsome that you kept quiet. she wanted a rise out of you and for you to make a scene. by not responding, she looked like the psycho/idiot that she is. I feel so bad for her husband!!! I wonder if she is bi-polar or something
What a pain in the ass! I agree with you about the Chicken Dance and Electric Slide. Those 2 would be on my do not play list for sure and if the dj played them, he would be shot on-site...j/k. You should have told her that you want to have a classy adult wedding and people waddling around like chickens is not your idea of classy.
And your wedding IS supposed to be about you and Gary! What would she have said if someone were to tell her that her wedding wasn't all about her and she should have to play whatever song other people want.
Also, it is really good that you had it written into your contract that the dj can't play those songs. My friend asked her dj not to play any of that crapola too and he played all of it.
Wow, I just read this post. I would have had what my mom refers to as an "Italian Fit" (That's when you are not responsible for whatever you do or say to another person because you are a hot headed Italian. my mom uses this often) and poundedher with words and probably choked her.
Good for you for staying calm. Sorry that Gary's friend is married to her. Poor guy.
I dont know what kind of rational advice to give you, but good luck and if possible eliminate that negative energy (dont invite her) from the wedding day.
I'm impressed that the DJ breaks their K if they play anything on your list! I personally think that's awesome and wish my band did that. I dont' want any of those stupid songs. It's not a bat mitzvah or a sweet 16. i'm TOTALLY with you irene. F her!
I'm impressed with you Irene. I would have told her to F herself, tossed a drink on her then told her "Our wedding is ALL about us and you are defintely NOT coming to it!"
