Romesh Ranganathan 0:43
A lovely young lady went up to me the other day uh in the street and said that we'd helped her out with some she d she was with some friends and she said I sent an email in and it was anonymous. I just wanted to say that your Ramish gave me some lovely advice. Oh that's nice. Um and I said, Which advice was it? And she said I'd rather not say But she said, Just thank you. Oh that's very sweet. Oh, that's very sweet.
Tom Davis 1:02
Okay. Uh shall I do the first one? You do the first one, right? Dear Wolf I've I've generally got bogey worry now. No, you're fine. Thanks for showing me in such detail. Dear Wolf Al and the sweet, sweet coyote. Longtime listener, first time emailer. Such a big fan of the pod. Everyone must think I'm a lunatic, laughing out loud while struggling through my midweek run. Never fails to get me through it though. I know you get a lot of emails about weddings, but I thought you I would add to the list in the hope that you can help me out with my current nuptials based predicament. Sorry, let me say that again. Help me out with my current nuptials based predicament. There you go. Uh I got engaged to my partner five years earlier this year during a once-in-a-lifetime trip to New Zealand.
Tom Davis 1:38
She's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Uh, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with her.
Romesh Ranganathan 1:45
It's nice.
Tom Davis 1:46
When we returned to the UK we started planning the wedding. I imagine it had been a s I I had imagined it would be a small affair, but we were incredibly fortunate that my partner's parents offered to pay for it, having saved for years for their only daughter's wedding. As a result, the guestess has grown considerably. In original planning, my partner and I wanted to keep it to our family and friends, those that we know will be part of our life going forward. Now that it has grown, my parents have become involved and they have given me a list of eighteen friends they want invited to the wedding. My future in laws covering the cost, I'm unsure what to do. I get on really well with my parents, but will find it difficult to push back on this.
Tom Davis 2:18
At the same time, seems unreasonable to ask my in-laws to cover two tablesworth of people me and my partner aren't that close with. I'll be paying for a few things like a band photographer and videographer, so I cannot afford to cover my parents' guests. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And of course, should I get this problem sorted, you would both be invited to the wedding. There you go. Looks like it's only only sixteen of your parents' friends coming. Yeah. I would love to see the Wolf and L get some kilts on and try a few Katie dances. Likely Rom will say no. Well guessed. Uh but Tom, grab the coyote as your plus one and what a night it'll be. Fucking hell. He's pushed me right out straight off the bat.
Tom Davis 2:53
I think uh John's got a lot of this 'cause John's so eager for stuff. John's got a
Romesh Ranganathan 2:57
very
Tom Davis 2:57
Yeah, he's such a thirsty little rusty. Thirsty guys. Yeah. Yeah. Thirst trappers. If it was if it was him in the cartoon, it'd be thirsty coyote.
Romesh Ranganathan 3:08
Ha ha, they get you. Oh, baby.
Tom Davis 3:11
Much appreciated. The red squirrel. We were talking about squirrels on the last episode, weren't we? Yeah, okay.
Romesh Ranganathan 3:16
All right, what do you think? Um I think he's got a hell of a problem here.

How should you handle parents who want to add 18 extra guests to your wedding?

Romesh Ranganathan 3:21
I think I think this happens to in a lot of wedding. I had a similar thing at my wedding with uh my parents insisting on a p a couple of um a couple of people like that they're invited. Shame, shame, shame. Uh so I think it's quite a harsh hard thing to deal with here. Mm. I think you I think it does look bit of a liberty if you've gone bit of a fucking liberty, innit?
