I was pretty easy going about my wedding. The only big issues I had were with the wedding coordinator at our venue jipping us on some stuff that was written out in our contract. Like no champagne for the toast, which was clearly supposed to be included. After the wedding when I tried to speak to her about it, she was a total biotch. Long story short, she ended up getting fired.

I would have said it, if the venue didn't man up and handle it.

In someways with family and close friends I can be a doormat, with the rest of the world I am certainly not a doormat and will say whatever I think. I scare DH at times.

Oh and H's cousin got engaged this weekend! Which leads me to the biggest bummer about people getting engaged: waiting for them to plan the wedding! I always get so excited I wish it was happening tomorrow. It's like when people tell me they're having a baby and it's too early to know the gender but I'm dying to know.

Hi!

It's rainy and miserable today.  I cooked all three meals today (something I rarely do) and worked on a talk and took a nap.  

I miss sparent.  Even if she's persona non grata on SB, can't she visit on E?

mica178

Also, we watched the entire season of Girls in the last 24 hours.  It's only 10 episodes, 30 minutes each, but that's still 5 hours of a single TV show.

<div>There was no staff at the venue. Just us. Hence why it was a problem.</div>

I've gotten better about diplomacy, too. I read and did the online classes for the Crucial Conversations and Crucial Confrontations classes last year after having a coworker who was a bully - she made me cry often just because she could. She wasn't over me, but we had to interact, and I hated her.

Now, I've learned to call her on her bullying tactics and still deal with her professionally. I'm more direct and upfront than I used to be, but still professional and diplomatic about things.

Why is she persona non grata? I like her.

Edie - They gave us $300 back, which was pretty laughable considering how much money we spent there. We were also supposed to have apps for an hour, and they ran out in 20 minutes and were never refilled. I probably would have let it go, but she was such a freaking jerk about it and I felt like I had no choice but to go over her head. Apparently they had other issues with her, and this was just the final nail in her coffin.

mica178

Apparently she was mocking SB on TB and some of the SBers found it.

Eagles - do you have a few you are choosing from? What kind of feel do you want? 

My first dance was to Adele's Make You Feel My Love and my father/daughter dance was to Queen's You're My Best Friend. 

mica178

Maybe it was TN.  I don't remember.

pokepoke27

Oooh okay. I always get all excited when people get pregnant. I have a friend that was due two days ago. Still no sign of baby last I checked on FB.

Eags - our first dance was "You and Me" by DMB.  We liked the lyric since we love travelling together.

Haha my father-daughter dance was to Kermit the Frog's Rainbow Connection. My dad refused to help pick a song so that's what I picked. While we were dancing, he figured out who was singing (mind you, that means he didn't ask what song we would be dancing to until we were dancing to it), he started laughing and asked what we were dancing to. I went on a rant, still dancing, about how I asked him to pick a song and he wouldn't and I sent him the song via e-mail and it wasn't my fault he didn't listen to it and it was too late so this was what we were dancing to. He thought I was funny.

I love love love the billy Joel version! H didn't like those lines either, but we ended up going with a Sam Cooke song that was perfect. "Nothing Can Change This Love".

Also, hello again all! I'm hanging out while H watches baseball

pokepoke27

Eags - I don't think anyone will be picking the song apart and using it to analyze your relationship. Tell FI to get over it if that's the one you really want.

Good evening! Back from dinner and being tech support for my mom for an hour on the phone. There is nothing good on tv so I am watching this seasons Sister Wives. So captivating, but odd.

pokepoke27

Wally - my parents danced for a while during our first dance, then we switched partners. My dad made everyone laugh by grabbing H instead of me at first, but I do have some lovely pictures of H dancing with my mother. 

Also, during the father/daughter dance H and MIL joined my father and I on the dance floor, then towards the end a few other fathers/daughters joined us.

Eagle: do you guys have a song that is important to you/in your relationship?  

when my brother got married, he did a dance with his then 3 year old Step daughter...."In My Daughter's Eyes" ....i still get weepy when I hear this song playing in stores.
