Confession: I do not like planning this wedding, it is just so overwhelming. I hate making decisions so that could be part of the problem.

Vent: I have been very annoyed lately by stupid things/people. I am trying to be the bigger person but in reality I just want to punch them in the face and tell them to grow up, lol.

Confessions: I lovvvve planning this wedding! It has brought out a creative side in me that I did not know I had. FI and I have had a pretty easy time making decisions, and it has been so much fun!

Vent: I hope my sisters especially my younger sister remembers who the bride is on Friday when we go dress shopping. For some reason I feel that she thinks she gets final say on the dress she gets to wear! My older sister is my matron of honor, and my younger sister is my maid of honor. And up until this time it has been a friendly back and fourth of dresses, but they totally don't agree on styles..I keep reminding her you know I do get to choose the dress I like the most, and she was not like this when my sister got married!

You can plan my wedding for me!

As for dress shopping, I thought my mother and sister would be the most opinionated. Well turns out they couldn't even pick a favorite. So I brought my dad to help choose between the 3 that I liked the best, bad move on my part because he didn't like any of them! He is the one who had a specific style in mind so I am going to start over lol.

Confession: I just go my federal refund in the mail and instead of putting it all towards the wedding fun I saved out enough money to get a fake set of nails.  I have chewed my nails down so far that it hurts.  I feel a little selfish but not too much because it is all of my savings and refunds that we are putting towards the wedding since FI doesn't have any.

Confessions: I love planning the wedding...im so excited about each and every decision...like honestly every little decision i wanna discuss haha

vent: I am the youngest of 4 siblings...everyone is already married with kids so sometimes i feel like everyone doesnt have the same excitement for this wedding because they have all been through it before

I have another confession. lol: I secretly am hoping that FI gets this big promotion, not so much for him but so that I can work part time.  I am exhausted all the time from working full time, school, wedding planning and my daughter.  It would be wonderful to only go to work three days a week.

Confession: I've been thinking about upgrading my own diamond and not telling FI.  He is HORRIBLE with planning ahead so the ring he bought wasn't of the best quality.  Funny thing is, I'm not materialistic at all and I don't really care for diamonds.  But if I have to wear this ring for the rest of my life, I don't want people asking why my diamond is ivory colored.  I'm so embarrassed to even admit that I'm thinking about it.    I've hinted at it to him before and he got all butt hurt about it so I dropped it.  Ugh!

Vent: I do not have a money tree.  That's my vent.

Nay, my daughter was grandchild #10 in the family, so I totally get what you mean.  My wedding is also #4 out of 6 siblings and my own mother isn't even excited or helpful at all.  *HUGS* to you, girl.  I know it sux..... but you have us to be excited with you!

Confession - I ate 4 reeses peanut butter eggs yesterday!!!  Couldn't help myself, they are my downfall.  With my wedding being the month before Easter next year I am going to have to stay away from them, so I figure I better get my fill this year :-)

Vent - I called to tell my mom I'm going to order my dress tonight and she of course did the "Are you SURE that's the one and that you don't want to try more on" OK, she knows I am indecisive, and it's obviously cuz of her, but really mom.  You know I love the dress and why continue to look.  Then I asked her if she wanted to go with me and she said no, she was gonna stay home tonight because it might rain.  She didn't mean anything by it and wasn't trying to be rude, it's just frustrating.  We are not the type that really say what we feel to eachother so I just bit my tongue. She did already see me in the dress and I know the measurements don't take long, it's just the point that it would be nice to have her there.  Whatevs.  OK that was fun!  haha :-)

Aw Gina, that stinks!  Where's your dress shop? I'll meet u there if you want.  *HUG*

GinaV0822

Thanks ChiGirl you are sweet!  No worries, it is what it is, right?  Maybe she'll change her mind.  Doesn't look like rain out there to me!

It's cloudy up here near O'Hare but doesn't look like a huge storm or anything that would last very long. 

Wishing you an AWESOME night, with or without your mom!  One check down, 12 zillion to go.....

Have you posted pics of your dress?  Must go check.....

Confession: I haven't been to the gym all week and I won't make it this week.  I've had an extremely rough week teaching and all I've felt like doing was come home and veg.  I feel so guilty!  I miss my yoga classes.

Confession : Not sure if this is a confession.... but not many people know that FI and I picked out and designed my engagement ring before he proposed. We knew we were going to get married and I wanted a nice ring. I am definitely glad we did because I look at it everyday and LOVE it.

VENT: THIS COULD GET LOOOONG.... So my cousin is getting remarried ... 2nd wedding for her in a couple years... She is having a huge wedding which she cant afford and basically passing the cost on to everyone else. Shes having a stock the bar party ( where we go to a party and bring her a bottle of wine or case of beer. for the wedding... ???? ), multiple showers, and bachlorette party. I probably would not care about this if she would be having an actual dinner or something. She is having a cocktail reception only at 630 and only. The reception and ceremony is at one place so from 630 -11 we will be in one location with only lite apps to feed the wedding guests.... I just think its ridiculous!

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Confessions/Vents : For your vent.. i have been trying so hard this is week 2 now.. I read this saying in a book and it really struck me.  <strong> "Life is 10% what happens to you, 90% how you react"</strong> I feel like i just let people really get to me and little things just drive me crazy.  I've been trying i think with some luck as i've been a bit calmer.. lol

Thanks! I will keep that in mind!

Confession: I think I may slightly turning into a bit of a bridezilla, either that or everyone else's suggestions just don't jive with me. My mom wanted me to have the reception at a hotel near the airport to save money, but that would put about 5 miles between the ceremony and reception and it just wasn't nearly as pretty or special as the place we picked that we dropped a little extra cash on. Same with my veil, I really don't want to wear my aunt's hand me down nicotine stained veil, even it if it DOES have my grandma's original headpiece on it.

Rant: I wish FI would offer to pay a little more than me for the wedding, instead of us splititng it down the middle. he has 3x the income and isn't also going to school full time (spending money on books and such) but we're still spending equal cost. I'm putting away almost my entire income after bills and he's upgrading his computer equipment. I KNOW its important to him but idk... I just feel like that stuff can wait and that having enough for our wedding is more important. Try telling that to a computer engineer though! I feel like the second something is out of date on his systems, he can smell it! haha! Side rant (can I have two?): I wish my MOH was more helpful with planning ANYTHING, but its getting to where we almost never talk and one of my other BMs is stepping in with helping me do pretty much everything (MOH has never been married and my BM has been there, done that). I can't ask my MOH to step down but I feel bad that BM is helping me plan just about everything without getting the honor.

Okay, rants done, I swear!
