Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

Look, Veronica, don't get all worked up. You aren't the only one who’s gonna have a massive wedding guest list and still manage to pull it off exactly how you want it.👍
So, our original plan was like 100 to 150 people, max. But now? It’s looking like 250 because his side insists on inviting everyone except their "immediate" family. I mean, seriously? Out of those 250 people, like 60 of them are gonna be my crowd alone. This is getting ridiculous.
Look, I already said I don't care what anyone thinks, but I’m serious—I don't want to see anyone at my place except my family and my maid of honor. That’s just how it is. It’s going to happen that way. I know, I know, it might not seem fair to everyone else, even the people I actually like, but whatever. It's my day and it's gonna be exactly how I want it. I mean, what other guy dreams about his wedding being run exactly the way his bride wants? Everyone is seeing us at the church, and that's final. Period.😁
So, we basically made a pact on the music... no country stuff, no banjos, nothing like that. Just decided it wasn't gonna happen.
So, we finally hired a band. We gave them a whole list of stuff they aren't allowed to play, plus a few things we actually want to hear... and they actually agreed to it. I guess that's a win? Maybe.😁They’ve got a ton of work to get through before then, but they said they actually enjoy playing this stuff. It’s mostly gonna be rock and 80s hits. I guess whatever we don't have time to rehearse, we'll just throw on some CDs and play them during dinner.
Most of the tracks are in English anyway, so I don't really give a damn if people like them or not. I mean, everyone knows exactly what kind of music they’re getting into before they even hit play. If it's not their thing, they probably shouldn't bother showing up.👎
I should probably mention that people are giving me these weird looks, like they're judging. They keep making comments about why we aren't bringing a bride over, and I just tell them, "Look, this was our deal." If they want to be jerks about it, fine. When they go to plan their own weddings, they can do whatever they want. And for those who are already married? Well, maybe they can try doing it their way when they get remarried. Or whatever.🙂
Basically, I made some concessions on the headcount, he’s picking me up, and everything else is already squared away—so that's that. I mean, honestly, anything can be worked out if everyone just pulls together and stops making it a thing. It'll be fine.👍
Ugh, my bad, I totally went on a whole rant there. Sorry.😳
