African American Weddings

I can't believe him

I had asked my FMIL to have a seamstress she recommended sew some runners. She was more than happy to do it. I gave her the material back in April and said i need these as soon as possible because they are the focal point of the tables so i can match things up to it. It is now half way through July and she still didnt get back to me. She only had four runners to do. I try to get in contact wit her but the only time she evens mentioning the runner is when i see her which has only been twice.

So yesterday I asked FI and told him i need the runners by this Sat because we have to finaliaze everything with the resort in 3 weeks. He got mad at me for being upset that I was upset his mother didn't get back to me. Saying that its not his Mom its the seamstress. But I don't know whats going on because she never responds to me at all. I hate relying on other people. Ugh!

Re: I can't believe him

  • ((hugs)) Guys don't understand all the decisions that need to be made, plus timing of everything...it gets stressful.  When the two of you are calm about the situation, have a talk over dinner about these things. Pray about it before you talk to him and ask God to lead you in the right direction and guard your tongue so that you can clearly state what's bothering you and hopefully FI gets a clear understanding of what's going on. As I always say, It will be okay. Everything will work out. FI and I had a little talk this weekend too because we need to make sure that both of us are on the same page...I update him on what's being done with the wedding because I want him to know and want him to be a part of the planning...I have had to delegate tasks to him so it just helps when he has the full picture of what's going on.

  • Thanks. I was so fed up I told him to get my stuff back even if she wasnt done. This project should have only taken at best a week. We are hitting the 5 month mark. I dont have time for this. Talking to him sometimes is like talking to a wall when it comes to this planning so i told him he can just show up and I will be cool with that.
