I'm a lurker for the most part, but I have/need to vent.
Ok, let me clarify... I don't hate everyone. But my bridal party is ticking me off and BAD. It's not just them, but I feel like this wedding thing is more trouble than it's worth.
Initially, I only wanted to have a small wedding. Like 60 folks. My FI, bless his heart, wanted the big family gathering thing. That was the first of the many stressors. So we went from 60 to 200+ guest. He had no idea of the cost and now he is fussing and grumbling over every little bill that we have to pay.
When I wanted his input about wedding/reception ideas he said "Oh honey, I trust your ideas." When I start to talk about anything then he has something to say or he wants to change something.
These danged BM's... One is my baby sister and she's a senior in college, so she doesn't really count in this part of my vent.
One of them is in Indiana so she can't really help out as much with the planning.
One has had every jacked up situation you can think of happen to her in the last 6 months, so her focus has been on any and everything but this wedding. I don't really fault her either, but it still sucks all the same.
The other two don't particularly care for each other so when it comes to trying to plan anything they are like oil and water. I hate that both of them will come to me to talk about the planning ideas the other one presented. I really don't want to know about the shower or the bachelorette party. I just what them to tell me what time to be there.
One of those two in particular didn't get her BM dress. She didn't tell me that she was going to order her dress off the internet to save money. That held up the other BM's dresses. So I paid for the rushing shipping to get their dresses her in time. She called me today crying because she paid MORE getting the dress off of the internet than she would've if she would have just ordered it from the damn store in the first place. I swear I bit down on my lip so hard to keep from saying something I tasted blood.
I'm tired and I would give anything to elope at this point. Someone please tell me that this will get better. I just want to lock myself in a room until the 11th of November.
I really hate to whine, I just needed to vent. Thank you for (listening) reading.
