April 2013 Weddings

TP Thursday!!!!

Is it bad that I look forward to TP Thursday!! haha :)

I would like to TP the hotel my sisters reserved rooms at for my bachelorette party! I had a friend of mine call me to cancel because they are now expecting :) So I had to let my sisters know because we needed to make a change for the room situation. Comes to find out they didn't have the reservation and  the hotel wanted to charge my sisters a crazy amount of money. When my sister called months ago she gave the hotel her credit card number and everything, my sister never got a confirmation number but did not think anything of it. She wound up speaking with a manager and was still able to keep one suite (we were supposed to have a suite that sleeps 6 but now it only sleeps 4 and we will have to bring an airmattress for 2 people) and get two 4 person rooms. It is also a little more money then what she was first quoted!

TP to the lone guest who we are still waiting to hear from for RSVPs.... FIs dad was supposed to call and we have not heard anything from him!

Re: TP Thursday!!!!

  • I'd like to tp myself and FI this morning. And to travel insurance companies.  When we booked our honeymoon, we declined the cancel for any reason travel insurance, because we were only thinking about ourselves not being able to make it. Yesterday, my grandfather was admitted to the hospital, and he should be okay, but it's made it a reality that there is the possibility we may have to cut our trip short and head home if he takes a turn for the worse in a few weeks. I spent hours researching last night and since we missed the window for cancel for any reason, that even if we did purchase insurance now, it wouldn't be covered because it's now a prexisting condition for my grandfather. I know the whole idea of insurance is that so the company makes money and doesn't have to pay out for claims, but we are seriously kicking ourselves for not getting it back in august. Sigh, we just have to pray for the best at this point.

  • I want to TP this stupid cold. It will not go away and I cannot stop coughing.

    TP to the guests that have not RSVP'd yet.

    TP to myself - I feel like I am way behind on some stuff.

  • TP daylight savings time for screwing up my schedule. I simply have not gotten enough sleep this week and I'm hitting that point of just being truly exhausted. The fact that I will be getting home late AGAIN tonight is not making me happy. I don't even know if I can face another day of work after this if I don't get some more dang sleep.

    TP all the guests who haven't RSVPed. Seriously. Get your shiz together. Deadline is Sunday.

    TP wedding nightmares. I've had three this week. It's adding to the lack of sleep. I'm over it.

  • Red-try not to stress out too much.  I hope your grandfather is better soon!

    TP to Wednesdays for not bringing me RSVPs.  Seriously, the last three Wednesdays have been RSVP-less.  Therefore, I do not currently like Wednesdays or Sundays.

    TP to FI's flight schedule.  We haven't gotten to talk on the phone the last two nights.  The next time I see him will be April 12th and half of you will be married by then, lol.  I just miss him.  I try to keep reminding myself that we get to see eachother the weekend of April 12th and then five more days apart and then forever(which is relative b/c he travels so much for work).

    TP to FMIL.  She still hasn't sent out invitations for the bridal shower on April 6th.  I don't know if she's even chosen them yet.  She's stressed that people won't have enough time to respond but she hasn't even ordered them!??!  This isn't one of those things that I can do for her.  I can't throw myself a bridal shower.  It doesn't work like that.

    Christine-I was sitting at my desk yesterday debating whether or not to do a pre-emptive TP Wednesday post, haha.
  • I would like to TP myself for deciding to have the reception in my massive backyard. Now I have added painting and fencing to the prewedding stuff to do. The fence blew down last week and no one wants to see in my neighbor's terrible yard or deal with their dog.

    I would like to TP MOH for being such a pain. She hates the dress and will have it altered because it is too modest. She decided to not throw a BParty so the best man stepped in and made his coed  so I got to attend some kind of party. Now MOH is pissed that there is aparty for me. She will come see me today for the first time in 3 months. Lets hope this stays a metaphorical TP.

  • TP to The Men's Wearhouse..... multiple times over.  We've had nothing but problems with them and the people who are supposedly in charge are just as inexperienced and lazy as those who work in the stores.  At this point, the guys may very well end up wearing jeans. 

    TP to the THIRD illness to take up residence here in the past month.  I don't have time for this.  Go bother someone else.

    TP to the son of the elderly man I care for, for being more concerned with his work and how his dad's illness is ruining HIS life.  Put down the laptop and go spend time with your father, because at 91 year old, you never know how much time you have left with him.

    TP to my own father for raising douchebaggery to an art form.  F you, fine, don't come to my wedding, but don't expect things to ever be the same between us again.  As far as the check you sent, I'll spend it and enjoy it, but it won't erase your guilt - which I hope stays with you until the day you die.

  • I too look foward to TP Thursday Christine, so it's not just you!

    TP to one of my bridesmaids. I am cool with her not attending my shower (her cousin's baby shower is the same day, more important) this weekend. But then she still hasn't gotten her dress altered OR her shoes! I told her I could help her and get the shoes but I haven't heard back from her. Then she's saying she can't attend the rehersal because she has class. And then she tells me I can replace her. Replace her, with FOUR WEEKS UNTIL THE WEDDING!?!?!?!?!?!? I was so mad that I had my FI call her (he has been friends with her longer than I have) and tell her missing the rehersal was fine, my other BM (AKA FSIL and wedding planner) will fill her in. She can also get out of class by talking to her professor, so she is. I don't care if her dress doesn't fit her right (her problem) but I will be upset about the shoes.

    TP my FI's job for making him feel like crap yesterday. He got written up for a technicallity, and someone went crying to his boss for a misunderstanding and FI got chewed out by his boss because of it. If said person had talked to FI about it instead of going to the boss it would have saved a lot of trouble. FI talked to said person and now said person is like "Whatever." TP to him for not communicating properly!

    Again TP to work for not having enough of it to do as well as one of the programs going down on us yesterday and stalling production...again. 

    TP to whatever is making my puppy's tummy upset. He turned 1 yesterday and we spent it at the vet making sure it wasn't something serious. Little stinker must have gotten into something he shouldn't have. *sigh* my puppy...

    And finally (for now at least) TP to people who haven't RSVP'd (mostly FI's family). We reached out on Facebook on Monday. My side got back to me quickly but his side is still lagging. Heard back from 2 of the 7 or 8 people we sent messages to for him.

    On a good note my shower is this Saturday!!!! Yay something to look foward to!
  • edited March 2013
    Red- Sorry about your grandfather! I had to cancel something once because of my mom and it was really hard to do it- I had to get a note from her doctor proving I had to be there to take care of her for them to give me my money back. Usually they will only let you cancel and get the full amount if you've bought insurance, if you can prove something sickly has happened to you or your spouse or a family member and have proof that you need to stay home or be with someone to take care of them. So you may not have been able to get anything back anyway. Travel insurance is tricky- you think it's easy but it's just a pain!

    and Ich-What about e-vites?  I think at this point, paper invites are past due. She needs to get out email invites pronto so people don't book things that day! It will save her money and stress, maybe not as formal or pretty, but easier.

    TP: to coworkers for just being annoying. That seems to be a weekly one for me!

    TP to myself for signing up for 5k this Saturday that I just don't want to do lol. But I will!

    Haha, I wish.  I <3 Evites but FMIL TYPES ALL OF HER EMAILS LIKE THIS AND THIS ALONE WOULD TAKE FIVE FULL MINUTES BECAUSE SHE TYPES WITH TWO FINGERS lol.

    Maybe I could mention e-vites and listen to her freak out, which would light a fire under her to get the actual invites in the mail.  The same thing happened with our engagement party.  She got them out two weeks before the party and we still had 40-50 people show up.  Maybe his whole family just operates on last minute time frames.  My family does not, which is why this drives me so crazy.  We like at LEAST a month's heads up of an event lol.

    I think another reason she loves paper invites so much is because she A. sells them for carlson craft and B. she was a graphic artist that stopped working before computers took over the graphic arts world.  She wanted to design the invites by hand...lol, yea right.  We would have to have the shower after the wedding if she was going to do that.

    I'm the same way- I need to know things in advance, I don't do spur of the moment well. And FI and his family are all about that, and I told him- look, you are marrying someone who can not handle that, so if you parents still think it's ok to drop in on us 30 minutes after telling us, that isn't going to happen anymore! I'm so mean lol. Well, at least you know people would still show up- just let all your friends and family know all the details about it and that an invite will come eventually, so they at least know about it!

  • Well, I just got a "Can't wait to see you at the shower" comment from FI's aunt on Facebook so maybe people know that there will be a shower, at least :-P  I almost want to send her a message and see if FMIL emailed/called/or sent invites out but I will resist the temptation.
  • TP work for sucking.

    TP the donuts in the breakroom because I have to stay away from them.

    TP being tired.

    TP the dream that I had last night that FI and I were married and I was very pregnant and he took out the trash and empty bottles of wine fell out!  WTF?  LOL.  He was very upset with me in my dream.  I do like wine, but not enough to drink it pregnant!  Hahah.  It's probably because I have given up wine to lose some weight.. I must miss it!

    That's about it!  I am in a good mood today because it is FI birthday!

    OMG my FMIL does the same thing!! Just calls up and says we're coming to visit! It drives me nuts! My FI doesn't like it either and has told her so on many occasions. On more than one occasion she has done this and we were already out so she was upset. Then there are times she says "Oh we'll be there by 1" Fast foward and she and family arrive at 4 or 5. Seriously? I could have run some errands, but no I was waiting for you to show up. I love this woman, I really do, but when it comes to arriving somewhere on time forget about it. If it wasn't her only son getting married I'm sure she'd be late for the wedding!!
  • TP to my two BM's who would not come to the store to get measured and sent their measurements in themselves.  And now both of their dresses do not fit because they are way too small!  My sister admitted that she ordered a smaller size thinking she'd lose weight. I wish I didn't know about this because now its stressing me out!
  • TP my professors for giving us so much work to do over "spring break"

    TP my bridal party who hasn't made any plans for my bachelorette party that's supposed to be 3 weeks from Saturday.. meanwhile lucky FI has had his weekend trip to the Poconos planned by his best man since August!!

    TP my anxiety for being in full overdrive this past week and sending me to the ER Sunday night cause I couldn't breathe

    I am sooooooo ready for this day to be here already...

    Oh no Ally :(  I have been there, done that!  That is a sucky feeling and I hope you feel better soon!  I have been on different medications for anxiety, but they  have too many side effects so I do not take them anymore.  Except a rare Xanax if it is really bad, but I hate those too.  I know how you feel, my anxiety is kicking in big time and I have not taken any medicine and sometimes I feel like I can't breathe or I have chest pain.  Anxiety sucks!  It is the scariest feeling ever.

    None of my family or friends will be there b/c it's in Pittsburgh and they can't afford the flight up there.  So I really just have to depend on her to get the word out b/c these people aren't technically my family or friends yet and I don't know who she's actually inviting.  I've only met most of them once, either two Christmases ago or at the engagement party, which was almost a year ago.

    Lol, my cousin/MOH ordered her dress with the chest size FOUR INCHES TOO SMALL!!  She measured under her chest, not over it at the biggest point.  Fail.  Luckily, Alfred Angelo hid some fabric next to the zipper, so the seamstress is confident that she can adjust it in that area.  MOH goes in Monday after work to see how it fits now.

    They should be able to do that without a problem. One of the shops I went to with a BM who just had a baby said that alfred angelo dresses can go up 2 sizes or down 2 sizes fairly easily.

  • Yea, I'm not too worried about it but I think I'm just shocked that she didn't know how to take the measurements correctly, lol.

    My sister's is way too big on her and I asked her last week if she had gone in yet to get it taken in.  As of that convo, she hadn't.  I can deal with too big but I can't deal with too small, lol.  My mom also needs to take the straps in on hers.  My mom used to sew all of my prom dresses and halloween costumes so she can do both dresses if need be. 
  • TP to the ice that took me down about 10 days ago causing me to sprain my wrist. Luckily it's my left (I'm a righty) and I didn't break anything, but it's taking way longer to heal then I expected and I don't have the patience for it right now!

  • Update:  

    According to FSIL, FMIL finished up the invitations and they were supposed to go out today(they will probably make it out tomorrow).  Now I'm really glad I didn't call and bug her.  We shall see what they look like, assuming she sent me one, like I asked.  If not, I'll just look at one of my BMs'.
  • I'll sneak in this last TP for this fine thursday. TP(metaphorically only) FI for giving me at least one if not two black eyes. Our joint Bparty is the weekend and I'll look like a prize fighter. He rolled over and elbowed me in the face accidentally. That man has big elbows.But bless him for feeling terrible about it.

  • TP to the St. Patricks Day parade that made me reschedule my 2nd to last fitting appointment and a TP to the alterations guy for not understanding why it would be physically impossible for me to get into his shop that's a block from the parade start and at the same time the parade starts. Sorry I don't feel like having to get there the night before and camping out with drunk people. He had a bunch of open appointments the following day so I don't see why it should be an issue.
