Confessions, Opinions, WTF

DodgersBride · May 2011

Lets hear them ladies!

Lissa1213 · May 2011

I confess that I'm sitting in my office trying to look busy while online. I really don't have too much to do today and don't want to look bored incase the boss walks by. Honestly though I wish I was actually busy, it makes the day go by so much faster.

DrPB2b13 · May 2011

I confess that I'm actually really lonely and bored these days, and DYING to get started with my DIY projects. I need to sit FI down and have a serious discussion about how much I can start spending on supplies right now!

Rethany · May 2011

I confess that at this point in time I would rather spend my wedding money on a motorcycle. However, I know that I will regret this later when I need money to buy things for the wedding. Thus, no motorcycle. Just not in the mood to buy anything wedding related, but that money is burning in a hole in my pocket.

SSaltzman87 · May 2011

Last night, we had a thunderstorm complete with marble and golf ball sized hail and a couple tornado warnings. Some people were more upset about their cable going out during Glee (I have satellite so mine didn't go out, haha) than the possibility of having to take shelter, and I think that's effed up.

CvilleClaire · May 2011

I confess that I thought about eloping last night.

The wedding fund could easily turn into a house fund.

sleblanc72 · May 2011

I too confess that I have nothing to do at work today and have been looking at wedding stuff while trying to look busy! That's the one downside to my job, it's either so busy there's not even time for lunch or there's nothing going on for me, and I much prefer to be crazy busy.

DodgersBride · May 2011

I confess that I want to push the wedding back a few months but I know FI won't want to.

I think it's irresponsible to go into debt to pay for your wedding. I understand putting some things on your credit card but when you put $10K on a CC I think it's irresponsible.

I am Catholic but I don't agree with the church's stance on gay marriage and abortion.

midgetthemighty · May 2011

I confess that I spent a lot of the morning at work listening to possible songs for various parts of the wedding day, tearing up at every one I chose to listen to for a father/daughter dance. I've heard most of these songs before and never had this reaction! *You can check out the list I made in my blog if ya want - link in siggy*

I confess that it aggravates me to no end when someone won't share their opinion just because it's unpopular and they're afraid of being outcasted.

I'm probably one of the most pro-life people on the planet.

No one's death should be celebrated.

diamondx423 · May 2011

I've been a huge biitch to FI lately. Too many things are stressing me out, and so its all getting taken out on him.

I'm afraid my grandma won't be around for my wedding. She has stage four neuroendocrine cancer and treatment doesn't seem to be working. We're seeking a second opinion, but things seem bleak. Someone suggested we get married ASAP for grandma to see it, but I don't want to. I feel selfish for not wanting to change my "big day" for my grandmother.

midgetthemighty · May 2011

Diamond, that has to be so hard. Thoughts and prayers will definatly be with you, your grandma, and entire family. I know my grandma would want FI and I to have the day we want and not have to rush for her sake. She's very much about everyone else, as most grandmas are. Your grandma may feel the same way.

She'll be there that day in one way or another no matter what happens, as hard as that thought is. I struggle with having the thought mine won't be there in person also and she is in good health at the moment.

Keep your head up!

Thanks. Her disease has been a roller coaster, one day things look great and hopeful and the next we should "keep her comfortable". The bright side is she isn't ready to quit yet, so hopefully we find a doctor who won't quit on her. It is a bonus that my parents live so close to NYC in order to schedule consults with outstanding physicians.

midgetthemighty · May 2011

The right doctor can make the biggest difference. I hope she's able to find one with the same attitude.

sprtychick10 · May 2011

I am probably the proudest Army sister out there and it pisses me of to no end when I hear people protesting the war at funerals of our serviceman who have died serving our country.

sprtychick10 · May 2011

@diamond, thoughts and prayers going to your grandmother and family. Keep your head high

I have never understood how someone could have the audacity to protest at someone's funeral over anything let alone at a soliders funeral. There are no words to express it.

Posted by diamondx423[/QUOTE]

Don't. I understand the feeling, really I do; my grandmother passed away last November, and all she really wanted was to see one of her grandchildren get married, which didn't happen. But rushing into marriage isn't the answer, even if you're already planning to get married. Even if we had rushed it, my grandmother passed away much faster than we had expected and wouldn't have been there anyway. And then it wouldn't have been about the beginning of our marriage, it would have been about making my grandma happy, which isn't what a wedding should be.

I'm not a terribly religious person, but I do believe my grandmother will be at my wedding nonetheless, even if she's not sitting in a chair :)

DodgersBride · May 2011

I am really sorry to hear that about your grandma diamond.

I confess that I thought I could handle not having my dad at my wedding but I feel like I will be a wreck that day. My sister is getting married in July and it makes me so sad that he misses out on some of our biggest moments in our life.

One of my best friends is going through the same thing you and your sister are, and she's also getting married this July. I'm a BM in hers and she in mine. Her father, whom I never did get to meet, just passed away unexpectedly last week. The funeral was yesterday and I have never cried so much at a funeral where I did not know the person. I know that I will be there for her on her wedding day and I'm sure your girls will be there to help you through it too!

I am sorry for your loss.

With my brother and FI going to a military college, I know many servicemen and women and it burns me up when I hear about this happening.

jenn&chad · May 2011

I wanted to elope; I'm not girly at all and I'm surprised to admit I'm really enjoying planning our wedding!!

Thank you. My dad passed away when I was 10 so many life events he has not been there. I know I will have have tons of support from my family, I just thought I'd be able to put a brave face but slowly i am learning that I may not be able to.

diamondx423 · May 2011

dodgers that sucks =( i'm such a daddys girl its not even funny.

janejane43 · May 2011

I confess that I am SO ready for summer! I'm a school counselor so in a few short weeks I will be off for the summer. I'm getting everything done that I need to at work but I'm so sluggish and just done with working. I cant wait to lay by the pool and actually get into wedding planning!

jdillon608 · May 2011

I confess FI said yesterday that we couldn't turn the Central Air on for a while, and he got home from work at 4 am this morning and went to bed. When I got home from my last final this morning, I turned it on because it was so flipping hot and sticky in my house! He's awake now and isn't upset that it's cool in here!

I also confess I should go for a run, and since I had my last final this morning, I am going to sit inside (in the cool) and relax

sleblanc72 · May 2011

I also have no words for those that celebrate or protest anyone's death for any reason. I am definitely not afraid to speak my mind and I know that I come off as a biitch with my opinion sometimes but I still voice it.

Dodgers and Diamond - I am so sorry for what you have/are going through...it definitely can't be easy and I can't imagine how you feel but just remember that all your family and friends will be with you and more then anyone they will understand your emotions of the day.

DodgersBride · May 2011

Thanks ladies!

A WR confession(from someone who hasn't planned) I contacted the church FI and I would like to get married at and they replied that they are having a wedding orientation tonight and we should attend. I am nervous and excited. This is the first wedding thing I have done beside looking online.

Rethany · May 2011

Diamond and Dodgers that has to be tough! I can't imagine. So sorry to hear that. FI's mom passed away when he was twenty right before he went to Iraq. I had never met her but its so tough to think how much FI will probably think of her on our wedding day.

Yay! Good for you. Perhaps this will solve your wedding planning slump?!

doeie04 · May 2011

Confession:
I really want to change our venue again.... Even though I said I wouldn't.

This is part of the view from my dad's back porch. They have a huge lawn down below that goes to the right, and there is a creek to the left. I was looking out the window at the greening grass and thought it would be so pretty for our wedding!

I might still change my mind, but I have to think about it more.

michellep1 · May 2011

Dodgers and Diamond-I'm sorry to hear about your circumstances, I'll be keeping you both in my T&P.

I confess that I am terrified that my uncle/godfather will embarass me at my wedding. He picks a political fight at every family event and flies off the handle like nobody's business. He has all these crazy conspiracy theories and will use anything as the beginning of a political discussion. I'm beginning to realize that he's really a lunatic. He can't just have a civilized argument either, if you disagree with him in the slightest, he SCREAMS whatever it is he's trying to say. The worst part of it is, hes like 450 pounds so when he gets into these heated debates, it makes him completely out of breath, and you wonder if hes going to collapse. It's just a really uncomfortable situation for everyone involved and I'm absolutely petrified that he's going to start some argument at my wedding. Beacuse of the aforementioned screaming and huffing and puffing, it's not like noone will notice, and it will be mortifying. My mom thinks he will be able to control himself, but I don't think its likely.

I also confess that I'm wearing a white dress to graduation (left over from my white-attire needs, sorority ladies) and I went tanning today so that my skin doesn't match the fabric. I know its bad for me, but I'm only going to go a few times, and I don't burn, so my risk isn't as bad as some peoples'.

Last confession, 30 minutes ago I bought an unnecessary pair of bright pink heels to wear with the dress. They're so cute!
