Guests you love but will be a bit unusual.

I'm thinking my neighbor will be like this, he's just super friendly and has ZERO filter - I already know where he is sitting, I have my whole seating chart pretty much done so i can easily remove/rearrange if people decline. I don't think I have too many "unusual" guests, just my friend and his wife - they're like a strange couple in general - complete opposites but not in a good way. I love my friend to pieces but do not like his wife at all.

I haven't met a lot of my FH's friends spouses so I can't say much!

Yup- my Nana will wear rhinestone cowgirl boots like she did to my graduation and say "that's stupid good!!" over and over, and I LOVE it. Friends who no doubt will show up in jeans and a t-shirt, friends who can only talk about rock climbing. One friend who will guard the entire venue and make sure everyone is safe (our venue will be very safe anyways), he will definitely be packing lol. Very eclectic friends too, it will be interesting to have everyone together, but we love them all

Well, all of our loved ones are a bit unusual, because we discovered them through our very unusual interests.

We have musicians, magicians, stand-up comedians, robot builders, bodybuilders, engineers who fit the 80s movie stereotype to a tee, dentists who cosplay The Incredible Hulk, literal rocket scientists, and horror movie script writers.

There is one friend who falls into "guests my husband loves, who are unusual, who I do not want there at all." The only way I can explain this: not a single female in our friends or family, including myself, likes this guy. He's weird and has no filter but not in a charming way; he was literally talking to my mother about rectal prolapse the first time he met her, in incredibly vulgar terms - why would you ever say "this guy's a&%hole was hanging out of him" to your friend's mother-in-law (VERBATIM!)? The only people who seem to be unbothered by him are the men among us, who are just like "eh, yeh, he's weird, but he's harmless!" There is no way to seat him away from every female in the room, so.....

I'm not really sure if it counts as the missing stair or not. It's very weird.

They won't warn you. They won't say, "hey, our friend S is a little weird and can be inappropriate, but he means well" or anything like that.

But they will agree with you after you meet him and say he's weird. And they will validate you if you say he makes you uncomfortable. And I have even heard my husband say that he struggles to hold a job because he's "too weird for people."

But they will just basically be like, "yeah, I can see why you feel that way," like you're telling them you don't like the Godfather movies. They won't defend him or try to argue with you about him, but they like him, so it's just that he isn't your cup of tea. And maybe that is true - maybe he is just very divisive, like pineapple on pizza. (To be clear, he isn't making any kind of sexually inappropriate comments - I feel I should say this since the divide happens to be across gender lines. The prolapse thing was a patient, not a sexual thing, he just doesn't seem to know that isn't something you talk about to people. I agree that he's harmless - but so are cucumbers, and those aren't my cup of tea, either!)

Haha, this thread is too real. I think it's normal for there to be 'love her, can't stand him' or vice versa friends amongst your guests and quite a few who will wear something inappropriate or do something cringeworthy, but then what is a wedding for without it?

Perhaps we all need this sign:

Seat them all together LOL. We are the weirdos, but people seem to enjoy our company

It is hard sometimes to seat people in how you think they'll mesh altogether!

OMG Samantha this is gold lol:

- My grandmother wears the most outrageous outfits! She's the sole reason why I set a dress code lol

- One guest will hit on everybody, male/female/non-binary, they don't care

- One guest is coming to cheat on her boyfriend with one of our groomsmen

I'm so excited to have all of my weirdos together under one roof with an open bar LOL
