Face punch to nonengaged comments...

Steph0871

Meg- just in case anyone is confused, there's also this little part in your info that says "relationship status."

I mean, right now FI and I both have pictures from our engagement session as our pictures on facebook. They are completely different, but even that makes me a little annoyed with myself. 

Anyway- back to the original question.  My big annoyance are the girls who have to ask opinions on every. single. detail.  I get it- you're excited and you know I"m engaged too so I'm probably a safe person to talk weddings with.  But I really don't care what color paper you use for your escort cards; your guests won't care either.

DH is on my FB page, but only because he doesn't want one of his own. I'm "friends" with his family so if they want to send him a quick message they post on mine and I pass it along. He hates being on the computer and doesn't even check his email. He's definitely out of touch Internet-wise.

Oh, I have a "friend" who I know bullied the guy into proposing. It makes me sad, because he really is a nice guy ... and frankly, I think he's too good for her. Even when we were good friends, I still believed that she bullied him into it, so it's not like I'm like "Oh, I hate that girl, so I just know he wouldn't have done it on his own". She wanted to get married, he happened to be somebody she could manipulate. It's really sad.

[QUOTE]I'm watching a wedding "reality" show in which the bride has one ceremony and TWO receptions.  One on Sat and one on Sun.  She keeps talking about her "Pretty Princess Day".  As I leave for work now, she's just hired a woman with ponies to have at the wedding.  She's asking if they can be dyed pink.  God.

Haha, I just watched that one a couple weeks ago!

Wow that thread would have never survived on the P&E of old.

Meg, true story - I have a frenemy who bullied her bf too. She threw a huge freaking tantrum at my wedding at the end of the night because she was not engaged yet. She hounded him day in and day out and always made the most uncomfortable comments about Mike loving me more than her bf loved her when we were all together. Finally, she lost it, added his name to the credit card her parents paid for her and gave him an ultimatum.

Guess who bought her a ring at 5pm on the night of the ultimatum deadline with her parent's credit card?

The only time I call Nick "Husband" is if I introduce him "This is my husband, Nick."

I don't understand the Tiffany's thing AT ALL.  It's not like your diamond is somehow better than the one with equivalent stats from elsewhere that costs half as much, just because it was sold by Tiffany's.  I always thought that I would be inclined to turn down the ring if it was purchased from Tiffany's because it would be an indication that we don't share the same values.

shellydiane820

I didn't care where my ring came from.  I just wanted a ring

andyandhillary

Hmm, the money aspect of E's ring thread didn't bother me at all.  Then again, discussing money never bothers me.  I have less than some but more than others.  That's life. 

I did think it was weird, though, when people said "FI/H paid X for my ring and I love it!".  Good, I should hope so.  I think it's assumed you love the ring your SO gave you when he/she proposed to you.  It only makes you seem like you are not happy with it and then you just look awkward. 

On the actual topic of this thread though, I can happily report that my friends have all been very down to earth about their relationships and weddings.  The only thing I ever side-eyed was when I was in college and in the Greek system when girls pressured boys into lavaliering them.  You just look like an idiot. 

andyandhillary

Oh, I also think it's beyond stupid to claim that you HAVE to get your dress at Kleinfeld's.  Chances are a shop in your area has very nice, even designer gowns too.  You just want to get on TV you little AW.

Dude. Well, there's a match made in Heaven, lol.

My "friend" had gotten KU by some guy at a party, who pretty much said "F*ck you, you said you were on the pill" when she tried to tell him what happened. So a few months later, while pregnant, she meets this guy and pretty much says "I'm having another man's child, who wants nothing to do with it. If you're not going to be interested in being a step-daddy, then step off". Which, to an extent, that's not so horrible, imo, considering that there's a kid involved.

Boyfriend stands by her through the pregnancy, lets her move in, he actually does take care of the kid and whatnot ... when they get to their one year anniversary, she starts harping on him about getting married, claiming that people are "constantly judging her" for being an unwed mother and that she can't deal with it anymore, they <strong>have</strong> to get married. After several months of going round for round, he eventually buys her a ring. <strong>

Then</strong> while she's planning the wedding, she basically went around bragging to everybody how awesome it was that she was getting married, how sorry she felt for non-engaged people and how pathetic they were for "waiting" to get a ring (Which, included me, at the time). When I finally got engaged, it was a few months before her wedding, and I was a BM ... she actually started telling people that DH only proposed because I was "so jealous" of her wedding.

Well, now that she's pregnant with her second kid, she's also telling people that I'm jealous that she has 2 kids, but DH "won't let me" have any. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

In case anybody on WP wonders why I really hate this girl, lol. In addition to being a Bridezilla, I had to put up with <strong>that</strong> during her planning process.

o.O Wow Meg. You must be a saint for putting up with that long enough to (I assume, I haven't seen other posts about this if there were some) actually make it to the wedding.

I have a friend whose brother's FI updates her FB everyday with the number of days until their wedding.  She started in the 200's and whatever her status is she adds the days left to the end.  "I am going grocery shopping" 185 days left.  It is so stupid.

While I was planning my wedding, I was having a ton of issues with this girl (She was pretty much trying to force me into making her one of my BMs), so I did a <strong>lot</strong> of bitching about it on the WP board at the time. Most of the regs over know her as "My BSC friend", lol. I didn't have her as a BM, but I did invite her as a guest (Mainly, because DH and I like her husband so much) ... since the wedding, I've been working on completely cutting ties with her, relationship with her husband be damned.

I know I side-eye a lot of people for saying this, but I truly do "feel sorry for her DH".

megk8oz

And I hate the count down people! I started a "count down" on FB like a week before the wedding ... and that was mainly because the week before I was busy with a lot of wedding stuff, lol. Even then, I felt slightly obnoxious, so I really can't fathom the people that start when they're like a year out.

Sigh. I don't understand how people can come to the conclusion that it's okay to act like that. FI and I have a really good friend with a wife we can't stand. She likes to sit there and outright insult both of us because she sees her hubby and the two of us joke around occasionally. Somehow us telling her that just because friend occasionally and very jokingly calls one of us a loser, that it's not okay to call FI a pedophile because I'm on the younger side, or telling me that I should hurry up and get knocked up already because it's the only way I'll keep him around hasn't quite sunken in. It always makes me a little sad that we just don't hang out with said friend because she's so incredibly obnoxious. But there's only so much one can take.

I call my husband "husband" to his face (as in "how was your day at work husband?"), or when I am talking to people who dont know him. I also refer to  him as husband on here just because only a handful of people know his name and it just seems to clarify the "who is she talking about" confusion. I rarely, if ever, mention him in my FB statuses though unless he is drunk and being funny.

Thank goodness my friends are pretty down to earth and mostly single. One of my friends did kick her bf out until he gave her a ring though, only to... have a really, really long engagement? They've been engaged now for several months and haven't set a date and it will be at least two years from now. Which is cool and all, my engagement is a long one too, but kicking your bf out makes it seem kind of... urgent.

I don't get the begging and pleading and hinting. If I were a dude, I'd put off engaging out of spite. I can see having a talk or two about the future or whatever, but all that hassling really kind of cheapens the experience I think. Me, I skipped all that and proposed myself. lol.

I do get annoyed by people on their high horse either way. I keep running into the whole anti diamond thing- which I understand, but let's not make 95% of brides feel bad and remember that not every uncertified diamond out there is a blood diamond.

And me, well, I love my tacky non-Tiffany's <1 carat diamond ring.

MeaghanandMichael

I say 'my husband' a lot too because my husband and my brother are both named Mike. I work with my brother and all my friends are friends with my brother so most times people have NO idea which Mike I am referring to. Sometimes I call them Mike Lastname so people know who I am referring too, but it is even more weird referring to my husband with his last name.

I do call DH "husband" to his face, lol, and he'll call me "Wife". But we pretty much only do that when we're alone ... and we use Jamaican accents when we say it ... yes, we're losers, hahaha.

Any Futurama fans here? It's basically our little joke referencing how Hermes and LaBarbara address each other.

M&M, DH & 1 of my brothers share a name. Right now, since my brother's only 10, we get away referring to them as "Little" and "Big" Brian ... I really have no idea what we're going to do once the "Little" is all grown up.

My husband never calls me wife :( BUT he does call me potatoe. Theyre his favourite vegetable so I assume its some kind of sign of how much he loves me (as much as potatoes).

My dad calls my mom "his ripe to-mah-to". We have no idea why to this day, but he says it lovingly, so I guess it's the inflection that counts, lol.

DH has also referred to me as "Cheese". Which is his favorite food on the planet, so I try to take it as a compliment, no matter how weird it sounds.
