Dealing With Awkward Situations At Your Wedding
Lucy Hamilton
In planning your wedding, you will eventually have to decide who makes the invitation list and who does not. Although many people will be eliminated, there will always be those few people you decide you do not want at your wedding, but you are somehow socially obligated to invite them.
In this list of somewhat undesirable people are ones that are sure to make the situation weird for everyone else. Whether they are friends, an ex, or a relative, you have no doubt that having them at your wedding will be a ticking time bomb. However, you take a few steps towards defusing this time bomb.
If you are lucky, you may be able to it escape this situation by not inviting your embarrassing associate, but it may not be that simple. If you do not invite them and they find out about the wedding date, they are likely to crash the wedding, or make your life a living hell long before your wedding day.
If the people you are worried about attending your wedding are sure to hear about it, depending on how determined you are to ensure they are not at your wedding, you may have to confront them. Telling them you do not want them there will probably end whatever relationship you have, but if you are set against having them at your wedding, you probably are not close to them anyway. However, this possibility is out of the question if your embarrassing person is a close relative or in good graces with your fiancé, but it does not mean that you are out of options.
The worst case scenario is that your embarrassing guest will respond to the priest when he asks if anyone has any objections or reasons you should not be married. Luckily this part of the ceremony is commonly skipped in this day and age, and you can request this of your minister. However, if someone does have an objection, hopefully you can quickly glaze over it, by simply ignoring the person, or if necessary, having them removed.
If you anticipate this happening, you may want to employ the help of your friends and family to prevent this from happening. Hopefully a stern talk will help, but if there is any doubt, sedatives could be the answer. If other people at your wedding feel the same way about this person, they will be more than happy to hear some snoring rather than their opinion of your marriage, as you would as well.
If you have people in your social network who are likely to cause a scene, you may be able to overcome this obstacle the easy way by not inviting them, but it may not be this simple. Having a talk with them about behaving themselves may be necessary. Although they do have a tendency towards embarrassment, you may be able to keep from things getting weird.
