    When I used to wait tables and had to iron my work shirts, I would iron all five at once. Why iron every day? Also, why live with a sexist assh*ole AND his parents?

    hmo - How do I know if my dry cleaner is Korean without asking? I know they are Asian, just not which kind.

    My thoughts exactly. Get it all done at once, if you're going to do it.

    Or send them to the cleaners.

    And this guy sounds like a real prince. Maybe one of the other 3 men in the world knows how to iron?

    MIL thinks it's horrible that I don't iron. She irons *EVERYTHING* short of underwear and socks.

    when DK needs a dress shirt ironed, he does it himself.

    Heck, I still ask my mom to iron things for me when I go home. She has mad skills, and will tell me to take stuff off so she can iron it better for me.

    I do miss her skills.

    Dh irons every darn day.  Even on our hm he'd iron his t-shirt to go to the pool.  I do not iron.  M1 even calls it "daddy's iron."

    My brother is also a banker.  He insists on 100% cotton shirts.  SIL insists HE make sure they look good.

    Walden is the name of the family that own it (and they are white). But the people who work there are Asian. I'll have to do some digging. I have to pick up a sweater that I got hollandaise on this evening.

    I would never think to look on the cleaning board for drama (or anything at all, really).

    There was a fun post on TIP last Friday that I was looking forward to bringing here today, and now it's gone.  Boo.

    So I got engaged on 3/17/10. My FI has told me since the beginning that I am the main person responsible for the planning. He has had some ideas and there are some things he won't bend on but for the most part I am the one doing most of the major idea planning...and I'm getting frustrated.

    About a week ago I found the PERFECT dress. It fits me beautifully, i'm in love with it, and it fits the personality and style I was hoping to acheive in a wedding dress. It's also within our budget and i've told everyone how much I'm excited about it. I haven't bought it yet because I was wating to see if I felt final about it--knowing that I would need to change my wedding color pallet in order to wear this dress. This is the problem....At first my FI told me I should get the dress if it's the one I love...but as soon as I told him that I would have to change my colors from red and silver to maybe black and hot pink or black and green. I originally wanted to have the men wear silver Calvin Klien tuxes but I'm not sure if that will match my vintage looking dress.

    I feel like, though, ever single time I come up with a good ideamy FI turns it down. He didn't like the idea of the green and silver (he thought they would clash) and he didn't like the idea of hot pink. And when I told him that I thought about having black dresses and colored boquets with my dress and maybe do a vintage looking theme he said that I need to stop picking everything I like from randam stuff and putting it all together. When I was looking at pictures yesterday I kept feeling as though I've always had a tendency to embrace the vintage look. I love lace and Frank Sinatra and such. Originally, however, we had planned to do a knight and princess theme. I feel as though the only things we wanted to do that had to do with that theme would be our cake/topper and the men carrying swords. And now my FI wants me to find a dress that looks more midevil (not totally just a little) when I'VE ALREADY FOUND A DRESS HE KNOWS THAT I'M IN LOVE WITH AND HAVE MY HEART SET ON.

    I'm getting angry. How can I be responsible for everything and he keeps changing it and turning it down but he isn't coming up with any ideas himself? Should I give up the dress I love to look for something that he may think goes better with our theme? I'm not really sure what to do anymore.

    I'M SO SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!

    Oh, I so badly want to see these dudes in silver tuxedos carrying swords. SO. BAD!

    Min, it's not as bad as I was thinking, but I'm not sure where the swords fit in.

    Neither of us irons.  

    Also, they make wrinkle-free clothes now. Saves all that dry-cleaning hassle.  

    Also saving the hassle? Not marrying arseholes or living with their parents.

    When we got married, I offered to just wash and iron H's shirts instead of taking them to the cleaners every week. He said no, and I thank God every day for it.

    Interesting how she went from "I found a dress I love and FI is being mean because he wants me to get a different one" to "the more I think about it, the more I want a gown like the one FI wants me to get."

    I love how everyone lied to her and told her what a fantastic dress that it. It's cheap looking as all get out and fug.
