With a year until our wedding date coming up fast FMIL and I were talking about having a little get together on the year until date, I love any excuse to throw down some drinks with friends so why not?

Today though while at work I look at my phone and have basically a million texts from her, she has come up with the idea to do a mock wedding party.... Ummm wtf? No. She said she went to one a few years back and it was really funny and a lot of fun.

I'm just really not interested in doing anything like that and would rather just have everyone together for a normal bbq type get together, but once she gets an idea she can't get it out of her head. So I'm leaving FH in charge of deactivating that idea.

Has anyone actually been to one of these?

    I'd give it a, "That's really nice of you to offer to help, but that's not what we have in mind for the day. We would be very happy to do a simple BBQ and save all the fanfare for the wedding."

    At a venue's open house, I 'officiated' a mock wedding. A couple was chosen at random. Biggest joke was that the guy was actually the Best Man because the Groom was unable to get off work that day!

    I also think the "Year Until" party is ridiculous. It's rather self-celebratory. Just wait a year until it's your day.

    LOL that mock wedding idea sounds ridiculous.

    I like the idea of just getting together for a BBQ or whatever, sounds fun! We did a bridal party meet & greet a few months ago and it was super fun!
