Florida-Central Florida

Eww(?)

My dad emailed me to ask me what cruise line we were going on and the stateroom number for the HM....knowing dad, I'm assuming he wants to surprise us with a bottle of wine or flowers or a nice note, etc. which is sweet. Not to sound like a 13 year old girl, but FI is a little grossed out though (and I sort of am too)...we really don't want any reminders of dear old dad on our honeymoon haha. We are actually turning our phones off that week and only checking messages for emergencies only so we def. wanna not think about anything but each other that week.

 Dad also tried to give us his timeshare to use on the HM a few months ago, which freaked FI out so we booked a cruise. I dunno if it's weird or not that my dad wants to be so involved in the HM...like I said it's sweet,  I don't really care and I'm grateful for him thinking of us. But I dunno...creepy or not?

Also, what's the creepiest things someone has given/said/done during all this planning?

    Umm yeah, I'd feel kinda awkward about that!
    I really can't think of anything creepy that someone gave/said/did during the planning.  Not really creepy, just kinda crazy- my coworkers telling me I can't have sex for a few weeks before the wedding because it'll be better that way.  They are just crazy like that though!

    Not weird, he wants to add to your special time together. After all you are his little girl and he wants you to be happy!

    No I don't think that's weird. My dad gave my older brother and his wife a week at my parents' timeshare so they could go on a HM. 

    Wanna know what IS weird? At my shower, my mom gave me the negligee she wore on her wedding night... WTF?!?!

    Hahahaha, ok, wanting to give you a surprise for your honeymoon = not weird.  Mom's old lingerie = definitely weird!!  Haha, you win this one.  I laughed out loud and had to read it to my fiance.. he is still laughing!!  =)

    I don't think that's creepy, I think it's sweet.

    Weird:  My maid of honor emailed my cousin who is a bridesmaid to ask if she wanted to get me a joint bridal shower gift.  She emailed back and suggested they get me lube and other sexual playthings.  I can't even begin to tell you how incredibly embarrassed I would be if I had to open that at a shower in front of my relatives.  Thank goodness my moh ignored the email and my cousin isn't coming to the bridal shower.

    Theresa, omg!!!  That is one of my FEARS about a shower!!!  In no way, shape, or form do I want to be opening ANYTHING sex related in front of my mom, aunts, GRANDMOTHER, etc!!  That is what a lingerie shower is for!!!  I can't believe people think that is ok!!!

    LMAO!!!! omg, I laughed so hard at that one too. I can see my mom doing something like that too, thinking its "sweet" ...WTF. lol.


    But yea, I agree with the other girls about your dad....unless he's inviting himself to your honeymoon then I think he's just trying to be sweet. I can see where you're coming from though, a lot of ppl get creeped by stuff like that. Some things are just personal! =)

    I think he's just trying to be thoughtful.

    My creepy experience: DH's half brother and his wife gifted us sheets and then in the card wrote "Live long and procreate"  All I could think was "here are these sheets, we hope you have lots of sex on them!"  Thank goodness we opened those back at home.  If I had gotten those at my shower I'm not sure I couldve kept a straight face.

    I dont think it's weird. I think he's just being sweet. He wants to get involved, and figured this would be a great way to do so!

    Other Alyssa--- r u serious?! Mom did that?! LOL. Thats a double WTF!!!

    YEP - and she had a little turquoise and lime green babydoll in the box too, with a note saying that my dad liked hers (all white and lacy and crap), but maybe I'd like this one better - YA THINK?!? I seriously wanted to take a toothbrush to my brain - I did NOT need to think about what my dad liked on their wedding night. No thanks!!

    I don't think it's weird. He may just want to be involved without having to tie ribbons on favors or stuff. :)

    And, Alyssa, that's hilarious!

    I think its sweet that your dad wants to leave you something in your room.

    Alyssa - Maybe she though that it could be your "something old or borrowed"?? Lol.

    The Rock- Not creepy. Dad is just trying to make your honeymoon nicer and maybe save you some money.

    Alyssa- Definitely creepy!

    Although not my personal experience, I was working at Velvet bar at the Hard Rock Hotel and a bachelorette party came in....including mom and grandma. One of the bridesmaids was so embarassed that the bride was opening the skanky lingerie that she bought her in front of mom and grandma, she wouldn't even sit with them while they opened presents. And to top it off (from the server side of it) they came in unannounced, opened presents and made a big mess, and not one person bought a drink except the embarassed bridesmaid. Who opens presents in the middle of a bar at a bachelorette party anyway?
