Actually it was kind of nice. The bride and groom had met on a cruise and found out they were basically from the same city, so they wanted to recreate the "cruise" atmosphere for their wedding, which was on an inland waterway (Lake of the Ozarks, which some people on the board know). It was loud and crazy but most people had a good time. I would have had a better time if it had been about an hour shorter, but I have already established I have little patience for these things.

Well maybe they had no sense, but people still asked. I was a bit incredulous as it was not something a 2 year old needed to be at and as I said would not have cared to be at--too loud, too late. yadda yadda.

It may have been because she was the only family member not invited. The other niece & nephew were older and in the wedding, so they were at the reception. It was a little sad for me to do the family pictures before & after the wedding. She was literally the only one not in them.

Are you thinking that "fru fru" is some sort of insult. It is not. It is from the French "frou-frou" which is the sound that a rustling petticoat makes. A "frou frou" dress is simply a fancy one with rustling petticoats.

Was she able to go to the wedding so she can get in pictures but then go home? My sil did this as she was young too (not that young though) and was able to get in pics but my fil and wife got to have a night out (their other child was there but was much older).

No I was told she wasn't invited & that a babysitter might be provided. But no one arranged that & I found a babysitter for her for all day & all night as dh & I were both in the wedding. The other option would have been for one of us not to go & stay home with her.

She said she wasn't invited. In most sub-cultures, it's kinda tacky to show up at a wedding to which you were not invited, just to get in the pictures....

???


I didn't use the word fru fru because mine wasn't that way. I called it fru fru because what I described was, well, fru fru. (You keep using the word "it" as if I'm describing a particular wedding. I wasn't.


If I'd had a fru fru wedding, then I'd call my wedding fru fru. Don't think I'm breaking the golden rule.
