Hi ladies! I haven't been on in a while and I have a lot to talk about... I figure id do it all in one post so I dont completely spam the board with my nonsense.
I just wanted to give other brides a heads up... I kno a few of you girls are already using her, but for those who are still looking for day of... Lauren Paige Associates is offering $50 off all day of coordination packages for 2011 weddings... so glad I waited to book!
So now onto the much needed advice... I feel a little silly posting this here since I don't really 'know' you girls, but I really don't know who else to talk to about this...
Let me start off by saying that my parents have originally agreed to pay for most of the wedding. We are doing this the more traditional way as far as finances go. This has been how it was going to be from the getgo. BUT... my sister recently got engaged... and I can't help but feel she is doing it out of spite. We don't have the best relationship... growing up we were always trying to outdo one another and I;m over it now but I feel like this is one of those situations where she is trying to outdo me again. I am happy for her, and I guess by saying this I am judging, but I don't mean to... her and her fiance have been together for 6 months. They set a date THE MONTH BEFORE OURS which puts a lot on my parents financially. I feel like she's taking away from my wedding and my parents cannot afford two weddings. I have a feeling we will be on our own financially from here on out with all things wedding and we really were not anticipating this based on the intial conversation we had about the finances. I asked my sister why she would randomly choose the month before ours and not later and she just calls me selfish and says how dare I tell her when she should and shouldn't have her wedding. I guess it's not my place to but I'm just upset about the whole thing. I was thinking about changing our date but we already put a deposit down on the place and then I thought why should I have to change my date? Gr... I don't know what to do, but this is really upsetting me....
And my wedding "checks"
