We went to a wedding last night. DH was a groomsman, so he was at the head table, and I sat at a table with my BIL and DH's friend's wives (most of his friends were groomsman). His one friend has the strangest wife ever. Last night she reached a whole new level of weirdness.
We were talking and she says "So, you work nights, and Doug works days... I'm surprised you had time to make a 2nd baby." How does one even respond to that? Bahahaha I just stared at her blankly.
Then a few minutes later she says "Shannon (the best man's wife) has an amazing body, do you think she does anything?" I said "Yea, she's a runner."
A few minutes later she says to Shannon "You have an amazing figure, do you do anything, like throw up your food to keep it that way." Um, what? Who asks someone that? Shannon says "No, I work my azz off at the gym."
My BIL (who hasn't spent much time with her) says wow, that girl is weird. Understatement of the year. I'm still shaking my head. There were other comments, but these were the best.
Re: holy socially awkward
No she doesn't drink. Haha
If she said that to me I'd punch her in the face. Seriously? Accusing/Joking bulimia? WTF is wrong with that person.
Maybe she should start.
Yeah, wtf.
Also, a little of what bears said.
This. Usually if their is a head table for the bridal party, they account for their spouses or guests to sit with them.
Other than that, yeah, weirdo lady!
I haven't been to a wedding in a while and I didn't pay attention to the head table. I had no idea the norm was to seat spouses with the BP.
It really has been ages since my last wedding. When did this start BTW? Every wedding I can remember when I was younger had a head table.
DH and I had a very small wedding. We didn't have a BP other than a BM, MOH, ring bearer and flower girl. They were both single and declined to bring a date so it wasn't an issue we even thought about.
I've never seen a bridal party sit with their spouses, always at a head table. Interesting idea.
Thanks. I just had no idea. It's interesting how traditions change. I wonder what else is different that I am unaware of. If DD ever gets married, I am going to be so out of the loop when the time comes. lol
I was a BM in a friend's wedding in 2008 and they had a long head table on risers. MH had to sit elsewhere and he didn't know anyone there. The premium open bar helped us get over it though.
I mostly feel sorry for people like that because I can be socially awkward in uncomfortable situations. No, I wouldn't ever say the things she said because I wouldn't think them in the first place, but I do say not-that-funny jokes or accidently say something odd. Never rude, I just don't word things properly when I'm nervous.
Basically, I freak out and blurt out random things....so I'm the female Chandler Bing.
