Re: mia bridesmaids
[QUOTE]I've been having a lot of problems with my bridesmaids and its really made wedding planning more of a chore yhan a happy thing. Onr of them decided to inform me the day before my justice of the peace wedding thay she doesn't intend on having a relationship with me and that she didn't really want to come. The other made me her maid of honor which was awesome but then turned into drama as soon as hwr other bridesmaids arrived from out of town. I had dropped everything I was doing for.my own wedding to help throw hers together and I tried my best to handle the other two bridesids and bring eberyone together for the wedding day. I planned out her btidal shower and bachelorette party and the othet teo kind of had their own agenda so evrything I had planned got yhrown to yhe side. As for wedding errands I was completely excluded. Then the funal straw was when the two brodesmaids attackes my fiancee and accused him of posting mean things about them.on facebook. The brise believed them with no proof and blamed everything on me...needless to say it hurt...a lot. Needless to say it started a huge fight between us and I haven't heard from her since. Im assuming she's decided she can't supposrt me anymore as a bridesmaid but I really feel like she should atleast aclnowledge the issue and confront me about the wedding. Whays the bridal party ettiwuette here? Im at a loss for what to do at tgia point I haven't eveb been able to procees with my "real wedding" plans we've already had a justice of yhe peave the whole thing has left me really sad. <strong>Does antome know how one could deal with this issue reguarding the wedding planning or yhe bridesmaids?</strong>

I sure do. You're already married so cancel the notion that you need a "real wedding". You had one with the justice of the peace. You may be planning a celebration, vow renewal, blessing or a big party but this isn't your wedding.
Frankly, I think it's rather foolish that you asked bridesmaids to be in an event that isn't real. At this point, stop asking them to do things for an event that isn't for nearly 6 months based on the date in your bio.

Just a little background information I am a marine corps spouse and this kinf of thing is actually really common wuth deployments and pcsing and everything really getting in the way of having an actual ceremony we got married early because many reasons militaty couples do and also for personal reasons involving my daughter. But we want a real wedding we want the big party with everyone and his dress blues and my white dress. I don't see anything wrong woth that but then again I've grown up around the military community. My bridesmaids also understood this, the second bridesmaid I mebtiond is actually a marine spouse as well so thia is all very familuar to her. I havebt asked them for anything really just yo come and support me no dresses needed or flowerd or anything I just wanted the peopl who loved me most to witness me actually getting married again yhis is normal to me I hadn't realized it that anyone would dind it so outlandish. Hobesrly I just wanted to be reassured that I could do it on my own

</div><div>You had a real wedding. That was when you got married. What you are planning now is called a fake wedding, because you won't get married at it. </div><div>
</div><div>Don't delude yourself. Getting married privately and then having fake weddings is not the norm or acceptable, no matter what you do for a living or where you live.

That said, while you went above and beyond for your friend when she was getting married by planning events and trying to organize people. You need to understand that you did this on your own as a gift to the bride. There is not quid-pro-qo for these things. I know it sucks because you expected her to be there for your vow renewal, but apparently your relationship with her as changed and that won't happen.
As for your friendships with these people, it got really confusing. It sounds like there wer accusations, and other rumors and in the end one women was honest and said she was no longer interested in being your friend. That hurs, I know, I've been there. But, you will move past it. You will meet new people. At the moment you may want to focus on you, your spouse, and your daughter. You have good things in your life though this women might not be.
2.) Nobody is attacking you. They are telling you that you have a bad idea that is potentially rude and uncomfortable to your loved ones. You apparently have chosen to interpret anything but petting as an attack. Which is a shame and limits self discovery.
3.) What you are planning is incredibly uncomfortable and rude to your loved ones. Not to mention it's blatantly a gift/attention grab. Nobody is fooled.
[QUOTE]Pele, are you on your phone now? You have paragraphs.
Posted by Edie Bee[/QUOTE]
No, I wanted parenthesis and numbers for this particular post, which my phone absolutely won't do. I can get paragraphs normally on my phone though, which is nice. Just no special characters. Weird stuff.
[QUOTE]In Response to Re: mia bridesmaids : Interestingly enough, I've found that when I post on my phone, then check it from the computer, all my spacing is in there correctly. It's only when viewing mobile posts ON TK Mobile site that I don't see paragraphs. So, like if Pele posts from her phone, it won't show up with paragraphs when I look at it on my phone, but when I log onto the computer, it will.

Thanks for posting this Stage. I've always wondered about that since I get the same experience. I just didn't know if the same spacing phenomenon happened to other people's phones, or (as I had hoped, but apparently isn't the case) if my posts reverted to no paragraphs there too. Frustrating, but good info.
