[QUOTE]"How did he propose?" He didn't. I did. People are always completely thrown by that response. Half the time, they forget the question. Posted by Schatzi13[/QUOTE]

Ugh! I hate this question too!  You really want to know people?  I ended up accidentally ruining the surprise by making plans which interrupted the time he was going to propose.

When people hear that it was in our living room and not on some starlit beach where doves were singing to us, they act like I should feel insulted.  A few people even asked me if I was going to make him re-do it!!!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: You know what I'm tired of hearing? : Wow. Sadly, I've seen enough people talk about asking their FIs for a re-do on the newly engaged board that I believe this. When did people get the idea that it's the way it happens that matters, not that it happens? Would they say "no" were it not spectacular enough? Sad...
Posted by Schatzi13[/QUOTE]

Yeah, this is just silly.  Those people are clearly jaded by what they see on TV and if I were a guy, I would run the other way.

FI says how he feels about me whenever I ask so I know the significance is there even though the circumstances were not the greatest.

[QUOTE] My FMIL constantly telling me "Stop looking at your registry, don't you want to be surprised at what you get?" Listen lady, I registered for these items, tell me where the effin' surprise is?!

I.love.this.thread.

And a big suck it to the people who judge the expense, the ideas, and think they KNOW how to do it better when we've spent months and months and possibly years looking for the cheapest best option...especially if you're not invited.  

And don't ask again how it's going...You don't care.

k, thanks.

I'm so glad I'm not alone in all of this!

1. I'm tired of hearing how we're wasting our money from FMIL, FFIL, and FGIL. I know you all did yours differently but for crying out loud we're talking about weddings that were 40 years and 70 years ago. Newsflash! Times have changed! Considering how much DIYing and bargain shopping I've been doing, you'd think they'd be applauding me!

2. I'm tired of my friends that have recently broken up to say, "I wish I was still getting married." What the hell do I say to that? I can't even post about my wedding on Facebook without hearing it from one guy that went through a break up months ago. I'm sorry you're hurting dude, but please don't step all over my happiness.

3. I'm tired of my sister, who is also engaged to tell me what she's going to do for her wedding whenever I bring up something about mine. You know, I wouldn't mind if we're sharing ideas, but it's like she looks down on my wedding because we want to save money. Also, her fiancee and she can't even pick a date because they don't even have the money to get married, so why does she remind me that her food and drink minimum is $7,500 (more than my entire wedding!) when she can't even put down a deposit to begin with?

Ahhh I feel so much better after venting, I guess I was holding that in for a while!
