You're such a party pooper!

You know what I hate? Party poopers!

I hate how everybody has an opinion on something... This is what Mr. JB usually says to me: "opinions are like assholes; everybody has one and they stinks!" ha ha. Now, you see why I'm going to marry him? =)

Okay, since the beginning of our engagement, when we tell people that we're going to get marry in Maui, some are very excited for us and says "wow, that'd be really awesome". Some, on the other hand, are just plain nasty! Here are some stupid comments we have heard over our engagement and up to today (4/3) when we dropped off one more invitation:

1. Maui? Why? You know it's expensive there, right? (No, shit, really?)

2. What? Maui? Are you going to pay for us to get there? (What the? Do we look like we're freaking rich? Do you not realize that I'm just a student?)

3. What? Why can't you just get married here? (Let me get this straight: you want me to give up on my dream wedding so that YOU can attend?)

4. How come you're having it so far away? (Because it's my wedding and I can do whatever I want to?)

5. Well, I see the invitation but where's the plane tickets? (Um...no.....)

Well, you get the point. Let me just say this: these comments piss me off. Who the hell do people think they are? Do they think that they're being helpful in any way at all?? A wedding is for two people who are celebrating their love for each other and joining each other for life. And they want to make their union a special occasion. If they choose to have their special day in Maui or any where, it's their day and you should let them be!

Keep your comments to yourself!

We are giving you the invitations and are hoping that you join us as we celebrate our loves for each other. If you can't attend in any way, just simply reply in the response card and mail it back BUT please keep your comments to yourself. We'd love for you to join us but if you can't make it, then let it be! We know that people are in their own unique situations but we're also hoping that people will use our wedding as a way to enjoy their lives by going on a vacation with us.

Here's my two cents:

If you think of going to Maui just to go to our wedding, then you will not go. Think: I'm going on a vacation and I will save that Friday to go enjoy FREE dinner with good company. We're only asking you to spend that Friday with us.

And another thing: we've given most people two years to plan for this trip. If you can't save your money, then you simply don't want to go / can't go. It's okay. We totally understand...BUT please...no whinning.

Simply put: we would love for you to join us as we celebrate our loves for each other but if you can't, then you can't. We're sad that you won't be there but please..keep your comments to yourself!
