Mr. Strawberry was recently talking with his friend Andy and his fiancee about their upcoming wedding and whether or not they were nervous or not. They both agreed they were not, but made a point that it was going to be nothing like our wedding. Mr. Strawberry was a bit confused by this statement. The bride continued by saying that there wouldn’t be any birds at her wedding. WTF!? Was she making a jab at OUR wedding!?
It’s not like we had a bird theme or anything. Yes, there were birds on the cake. And on the invitations. And a few scattered throughout the reception… OMG, was our wedding tacky and I didn’t know it!? I mean it’s not like we had live parakeets at the reception. Or gave away baby birds as favors. I totally want to punch the girl in the face. I know, totally wrong. But let’s be honest, I’m kind of violent like that.
Did a comment about your wedding or wedding planning catch you off guard? What was it?
Well, that was definitely rude of them! I would have reacted just the way you did, or… maybe even worse!… 
Aw, that’s not nice! I happen to think the bird theme is very cute! 
How rude! Your wedding was beautiful. You and your hubby were beautiful.
I would feel the same way, but maybe she was telling you about some things she was planning that similar to what you did at your wedding, and her comment was to let you know that she’s not trying to copy you.
Hmmm, it did come off negative but perhaps it wasn’t meant to be. Maybe (just a tad chance) that they said that to mean, “My wedding won’t be as highly detailed and well-thought of than your wedding.”
So her wedding won’t be nice… like yours
I haven’t received any of these comments b/c I haven’t had my wedding, but I’m pretty sure if someone made a comment like that about my wedding I would want to punch them in the face too.
P.S. I hope my wedding is like yours, I’m incorporating birds too.
IF you go to her wedding get her a gift with birds, wrapped with bird paper, and a card with birds on it. LOL.
That’s just rude. Everyone has different tastes! She’d better be careful thinking that she’s better than everyone else or else her wedding day will be the day from hell!!! Karma is a major b*tch!
I have an old ship theme and I have a feeling that after the wedding (this weekend!) I’ll recieve comments about my “pirate” wedding. Oh well! As long as you are happy and got to include elements of things you love, who cares what other people say!!!
Whatever it meant, don’t worry about it! As long as you and your husband were happy with the wedding, that’s all that matters
I wouldn’t stress about it. It was probably just an off-the-cuff remark. Think about it - pretty much all weddings are the same at their roots (its called tradition!). So she probably thought that the bird theme is the only thing that distinguishes their wedding from yours. No stress, be happy
That’s rude of her to say that! When I read the title of the post, I thought that somebody was complimenting you by saying that their wedding won’t be as creative or beautiful, or maybe that they didn’t put as much hard work into planning. I don’t think your wedding seemed like it took place in the bird exhibit at the zoo (which might warrant that comment). Sometimes when people are jealous or know they can’t do things that you can, they try to bring you down as a way of making themselves feel better. Just shrug it off…and then go look through your beautiful wedding pictures!
I agree, that was rude. I also had someone make a rude comment (or more than a few comments) to me about my wedding. It was my boss! After I’d returned from my honeymoon, he proceeded to tell me (after work one day, as I was feverishly trying to catch up on work) that he and his wife had a horrible time at my wedding, the drive was too long, they hated the food, ended up with headaches, etc. And he told me all of this… to my face! Arg! So sorry you had a horrible time. I had a blast!
My favorite thing someone said to me? “The rehearsal dinner food was way better than the reception food.”
Gee thanks for letting me know that seeing as how the reception food cost oh, 95% MORE than the rehearsal dinner. I think I’ll go slit my wrists now.
Yeah, people can say stupid stuff but I don’t think it’s because they had a problem with your wedding. I think stuff just slips.
you should tell her that you have some advice for her since you just had your wedding (and she’s obviously making a hit and maybe was there?)…
“Sweetie, just take it from me, make sure you don’t invite people who tend to comment on things when they don’t pay for any of it!…It’s just so RUDE after all”.
OMG, how rude! I wonder if I should cut down on the birds at my wedding??? Thought about it and…no!
that is a bi-achy way to be. It sounded to me like she was saying hers won’t be as nice as yours, only saying it in an insulting way to make herself feel better.
It’s bulls*it, either way. I mean, snarky.
Without hearing the tone, and knowing her, it is hard to tell if it was meant as rude or not. Looking at the detail shots from your wedding, it looks like there were birds incorporated into different things - cake, candy bags, etc. - maybe she was just trying to reassure you that she wasn’t copying yours?
Some people get really protective about their wedding being unique - I had a friend that I had to constantly promise I wasn’t copying, which was ironic because in the end she copied several things from my wedding.
Your wedding was gorgeous! Don’t let the one comment get to you!
