Me, as a bride

ZombieNates

Sorry, I'm too lazy to get the comp-I meant I need to gwt.it.re-dipped. My ring's white gold, so you could tell it needed to be redipped next to the new band. TBH, it looked fine to most people, but it made me crazycakes.

holy crap, Anna. That is awful, what the eff.

Oh Anna That breaks my heart! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that - I would have been majorly upset too, in both scenarios.

To clarify, when I say I flipped shiit I mean I stomped and whined because I wanted MY shower and of course I was totally entitled to one because I'm the bride.    It wasn't cool of them but I really did act like a big baby about it.

My MIL got more bridezilla/upset than me about the wedding but it wasn't directed at me. Apparently J's grandpa and his wife were 1st class bitches at the wedding. They complained about having to come early for pictures, were the only grandparents who refused to walk down the aisle with the rest of the g-parents, complained about not getting enough food (which, it was a food station dinner so wtf there was plenty for 2nds or 3rds), his wife wore a sweatshirt and he wore casual clothes when his son's 2nd wedding was the month before and he wore a suit (and it was held in a community center), and he made fun of FIL in his tux.

I didn't know any of this until afterward, so I was fine on my wedding day, lol.

Nates, this probably sounds weird, but I swear it's a compliment.  Your face/makeup reminds me of a cartoon drawing in your sig.  As in, absolutely flawless.  Gorgeous! I'm totally jealous of your skin.

My dad sends cryptic text messages that are incoherent.  First, he sent a message saying "Sorry will b in Alaska" right after asking for details about the wedding.  He supposedly meant to send that to some rando lady he was dating.  I didn't know he was going to Alaska but that's besides the point.  

Then he was texting about his family and guest list, basically cousin X's list from 08. He texted saying, "Use X's list, and whomever I might be dating at the time." Like, I get that it's etiquette and whatever but EXCUSE YOU? This dude has been in and out of my life since I was 12, and more in than out.  Doesn't call on Christmas/my birthday, and is always dating someone new.  He's also not all there and treated my mom like crap.  I just thought it was shitty, like the only thing he cared about was to make sure his most recent flame was invited.  

I should also mention that he "proposed" to my mom OVER VOICEMAIL because "they should be together for my wedding."  That sounds like a GREAT reason to get back together.  Wonderful, heartfelt proposal. Two weeks later (after an awkward no from mom) he was dating someone new.

I couldn't make this ish up. 

ETA: Anna that's so sad

I was mostly pissed by two things:

a) our fight TOTALLY ruined my lunch and pedi that I had with my MOH that day. It was supposed to be my 'relaxed' moment for the day. It was RUINED because I was a mess inside. At the time I thought my father might actually not come to the wedding.

b) my step mother decided that it was okay to mention to my MOH's father (a family therapist) during dinner that she was having problems with her step children. Seriously? AT MY WEDDING? AFTER YOU TOLD ME WE HAD MADE UP AND ALL WAS GOOD?  

yeah, apparently I am not over it. At all! Ha!

musicalsunlight

wtf, Meg. Your dad sounds like a piece of work. Sorry you have to deal with it.

ZombieNates

That sucks, Anna. I would have been upset. That didn't happen to me, but at first, I was really hurt at tge turnout for my shower, but then I figured, Fvck those bitches. I've kind of let those friendships go, in tge sense tgat I don't but as much energy in-they were one-sided. I'm much happier now.

ZombieNates

Thanks, LP! As much as I hated the MUA, I can't knock her skills. Number, I hate that, when.you have something in mind and a fight ruins it.

We had a lot of issues with Adams parents while we were engaged - for starters they tried talking him out of getting married to me. By the time the wedding came around Adam was so pissed he wanted nothing to do with them and didnt mention his parents at all in the speech he gave, just my family. Later at the wedding I walked into the bathroom to touchup my makeup and I heard my MIL in one of the stalls talking crap about me and the wedding. I just walked out and quietly told adam about it but didnt cause a scene. To this day I dont think she knows what I heard, but I wont forget it.

musicalsunlight

That sucks, Nebb. Are you and the ILs better now or still no?

musicalsunlight

J brought up all the crap he heard from his mom to his grandpa over the phone. He is pretty direct about that stuff so he just said to him "Grandpa, I heard you guys were complaining about not having enough food. Well, it was a buffet so if you are stupid enough not to go get more, that's your own damn fault."

His grandpa was silent for a bit after that comment, haha.

Also, the number of people who talk shite when they think nobody is listening is beyond me. Unless you are in your car or your home, presume someone can hear.

[QUOTE]i flipped my shiit over the bridal shower my MOH planned.  She majorly dropped the ball.  Failed to mail a bunch of invites so only 3 people showed up besides my BM's and mom, didn't have any plans for what we were going to do (games, whatever), and <strong>then left without helping to clean up and I later found out she skipped out on the bill and my mom paid it.</strong>  I ranted to my then FI about it for days and didn't hardly speak to anyone else. Then I was all ready to go out for a bachelorette night and no one ever came.  I called my sister, a BM, and apparently no one told her anything about it.  There were no plans, just wishful thinking that my BM had been feeding me.  So I was all dressed up with no where to go.  It felt like a flashback to when no one came to my 8th birthday. I no longer talk to any of them except my sister and if either of the other two BM's (former best friend, step-sister) call me I'll bridezilla on them still.

Ehh, we had a falling out with them shortly after the wedding. A friend of adams was getting married and we couldnt go to the wedding. I went on facebook one day and saw adams dad had posted on this guys wall apologizing on our behalf for what we had done and that he told us we should have said something (WE FUCKING DID!), then went on to say that they never get to see him and its my fault so if he has any question about it he knows why Adam couldnt be there.

I was fuming, showed adam, he called his dad out on it and his dads response was "I dont know how facebook worked" - he wasnt sorry for saying it, just didnt realize I would be able to see it. Adam didnt talk to his parents for nearly a year after that until his dad emailed me to apologize. Even now we rarely see them and arent overly fond of them.

musicalsunlight

Wow that is so crappy Nebb.

When we see them I will be polite and make conversation but I only have to do it one day a year at most so its not a big deal. I wont answer the phone if Adam isnt home and I see his parents calling, I let it go to voicemail. Theres a lot more as to why I dislike and resent them but its frankly a lot and will be boring lol

My only big bitchy moment was when a cousin of my mom's was being all stubborn about not coming unless her spoiled brat 7 year old could come too. We weren't allowing any other kids at the wedding so I didn't want to give in just for her. My mom was tired of fighting the battle and just wanted to be ok with it. She was funding the wedding so I couldn't really say absolutely not but it pissed me off and I argued for a while with my mom. I just wanted to stick to my no kids principle and I got huffy about it. In the end the kid didn't come anyway.

ZombieNates

I would have flipped out if MIL was talking shoit about me and I caught her. I get hurt easily by that stuff and I can't curb my tongue in the moment.

musicalsunlight

OH and apparently the family of the same grandpa's wife, was bitching on FB about how they didn't get to go to the wedding. Which was hilarious to me, because, um, they were step-family to J's grandpa and no one in J's family liked them. Why the hell would they be invited to our wedding? It was just hilarious to me.

ETA: Wow good job using hilarious twice, self.

Sometimes I wish I had something, shamed her. But I know I would have probably been really cruel and bitchy and not come out looking good.

No, your way was better in the long run.

good point. ;) Some people's entitlement is beyond me.

musicalsunlight

Jcb, that makes total sense. If I had been paying, there would have been a lot less family invited. But since my parents were funding it, there was a lot more extended family.

Joe was a bit of a groomzilla. He demanded that he gets a limo too if I get one. The day of the wedding he flipped his shiit on the tuxedo shop swearing that the ties weren't the right shade of navy (yes, he was more worried about that than I was). 

My only bridezilla moments were because his mother wanted to dictate crap to make things most convenient for her and when her SIL told us via FB that she wasn't making it to the wedding a few days beforehand. Her excuse was because they didn't have money. Lame because the real reason she did that was because she was pissed at Joe's mother. Twatpocket!
