Guest lists...

I'd like to start out by first congratulating Laura and Devin, they tie the knot tomorrow and I'm so super excited for them! I can't wait for all the festivities to begin!

I'll start with my post now... I think if a couple can make it through the guest list and all the craziness surrounding it, they should be able to make it through most things. Or for at least us this has been a complicated task for sure. Really mostly w/ the replies as we've had quite a few requests for extra guests. Amazingly enough not much from our families (w/ the exception of Tim's Dad,) from our guests. I'm quite shocked how rude some people can be. We've had a few replies with guest that did not have a guest on their invitation, we've also had a few requests from others to bring a person w/ them (if we had wanted to give you a guest, we would have put that in the invitations.) I have a really difficult time telling people no, thank God for my sister! She is now "in charge of the list" and has no problem telling people no. If we go over our original number of invited guests it costs an additional $800 for the room plus the per plate price. So I'm sorry if you've gotten a no for an extra guest but its not simply just another plate its soooo much more! This has been incredibly frustrating to say the least, however all I have to do it make until 10/2/10... I can't wait to head to Rivera Maya at this point. I'm quite excited for the wedding as well, just have some hurdles I've got to jump to get there.
