Confession

georgia_bride09 · July 2009

alison, why would you keep something like that from the man you're planning to marry? Put yourself in his shoes; if he bought a motorcylce for $5K and kept it in a garage so you wouldn't know about it, would it not rock your trust when you found out? You seriously need to call him RIGHT NOW and fess up.

Nicole: When we bought our house she got us a champagne bottle engraved with our new address. Waste of money, in my opinion. But wait, here's the kicker...she has a kit so I can turn it into a lamp!!!!Im grateful...really...

mwhitson14 · July 2009

Glad you ended up having fun, that makes it more memorable then

georgia_bride09 · July 2009

scoetto, at least you got a raise out of the deal. If you think it's time to move on, it probably is.

NicoleSahara · July 2009

Oh geez! Gotta love the crazy inlaws!

scoetto · July 2009

georgia, they SAID I was getting one. We'll see if that actually happens. Today I was told I needed to "remind" them about it Monday. Huh. Reminding you about a raise, that you gave me, AFTER you tell a 30 year old she trows temper tantrums and cusses too much. Hmph.

temerityjane · July 2009

Confession: My fiance's family are all nice people. I like them as people. And I tell him so. But I secretly seethe with anger every time I think of them. I hate they way they treat him. I hate that they don't call. I hate how his mother was never a mother to him and now hits him up for money. I hate that, even knowing a year in advance, they won't save up money to get to the wedding and will undoubtedly hit us up to fly them out when the time comes. I hate that how much my family loves him really brings into focus how little his family cares. And I hate that he's so USED to it that he just shrugs it all off.Ahem. That is all.

NicoleSahara · July 2009

scoetto, do you throw temper tantrums, or was this totally from left field?

bjporter88 · July 2009

An address on a champagne bottle? Made into a lamp? NO. Just no. On the bright side, you got alcohol out of the deal!

buttaflai · July 2009

H got into a huge fight with MIL this past week and I am rather happy. Now, we don't have to stop by her house on the way to visit my family this weekend.=)

scoetto · July 2009

I don't think I throw temper tantrums, honestly. I like to be left alone and get the job done. I don't make friends at work (that backfired once or twice) and I quit hanging out with coworkers. I'm more like a recluse here. I keep to myself and listen to heavy metal. I sound like the chick from Breakfast Club. Anyone want snow for their forest?

mwhitson14 · July 2009

Scoetto, we can share an apt and I'll find you a job!!11!1

mwhitson14 · July 2009

::seconds temerity jane::FI's parents are like that, they still ask him and his sister to pay their bills! It's pathetic.

Lyss5782 · July 2009

oh yes yes...but unfortunately I was SOOOOO drunk from the champagne that I accidentally recycled the bottle. Oops.

NicoleSahara · July 2009

Well scoetto, I think you should remind them about your raise on Monday, and if you don't get it, throw a big huge temper tantrum and cuss a lot. That would be pretty ironic, huh?

scoetto · July 2009

HAH, Whit! I plan on blowing this joint in 3 mos. I should be able to wait 3 mos.

SouthJerseyToMD · July 2009

Um, georgia, allison isn't hiding anything from the man that she is going to marry. Read her signature a little closer.

scoetto · July 2009

Nicole! HA! That's funny. I should do that.

Night_Sprite · July 2009

Temerity! We have the same families. Weird. FI's family are douche bags.

FutureMrsDudley55 · July 2009

Jane - I'm with you on that one, especially with FMIL. She treats him like his slave. I remember once a few years ago, before FI and I lived together, we were all (us and a few friends) hanging out at FMIL's house. Well she decided she was going to go to bed. So we are all sitting around and playing games, and a few of us can faintly hear FMIL yelling for FI to go back to her room. Well after a few minutes of yelling, he finally gets up to see what she wants. She was laying down on her bed, and wanted him to walk all the way back there just to turn off her damn light. You seriously yelled for that?? Get off your lazy a$$ and do it yourself.

Soon-to-be Mrs. Vogt · July 2009

I know we're not supposed to really address confessions, but oh well... Kissy - why can't you accept the freezer, but tell them you can't accommodate it now and either ask them to purchase it when you have a house or get a gift card to the place you would eventually like to buy it from? Getting money for a party that lasts one day is not the practical solution in all of your options...the freezer (or china, or whatever) is a much better investment. My confession: I took a long lunch to go buy some wine for tonight. I seriously, seriously considered finishing my soda from lunch and filling it with booze. I think my stress level may have hit an all-time high.

My parents offered to pay for my wedding, we didn't ask for anything, and we're not using all the money they offered us. FI mom offered (we didnt ask!!!!) to pay for the honeymoon. Great, we're very thankful. When it comes time to pay up, she tells us she isn't paying for it. Ok, fine. No biggie. But then, she keeps going on and on about how we asked everyone for all this money (haven't asked for a dime, we had enough saved for our original plan), and why don't we go make his dad pay for something??? We just found out that his dad is going to be paying for him to go back to school so we don't have to take out loans. We kinda can't wait for his mom to demand we go ask his dad for money agian. Oh, mom, you're going to buy the bed set off our registry? That's great, thanks. Oh, by the way, without us asking, Dad is paying for school. Kthnxbai.

kissybee · July 2009

::bows in concession to lyss:: Yes, you do win. In fact, I think you have the world record for world's dumbest wedding present. Is there a section for records like these in Guinness??

alisonz · July 2009

confession about my confession:I haven't actually LIED about our budget, my FI absolutely knows we will go over our original budget, I just haven't had the courage to tell her by how much.Also, our wedding is over a year away, so I would *never* commit to any costs until we have discussed everything and are on the same page.The 5-10k more is an estimate based on things I would like to have, but mostly things I can downsize or live without.But I get the message guys, honesty is the best policy.

YaPuppy · July 2009

I confess that I am beyond pissed at Fi right now and am being very passive aggressive about it. His parents called last night and are generously offering to contribute money towards us buying a house. Very awesome and generous. However.Both sets of our parents gave us crap for months about not having a wedding here (we want destination all the way). We agreed to stand our ground, pay ourselves, and go to an island. Last night after his parents called, even though they made no mention at all about the wedding, Fi says "maybe we should entertain the idea of having it up here"We're 8 months away, we've had this plan for about a year now, and suddenly you want to turn the table? I called him on it and he said he just said "entertain the idea, not necessarily do it" And went on to say that he still wants us to have the wedding we want on an island. Fine. Then-why-did-those-words-even-leave-your-mouth?!Technically I guess since we're still doing what we want there's no reason to be mad. But I am. There, I said it.

Lyss5782 · July 2009

lol...another confession? i havent showered/changed/done anything productive today. i have been on the knot for far too long and it is super-addicting.

mwhitson14 · July 2009

Also, alison, you have a fiancee, not a fiance. Just because I have a pet peeve about that weird being used incorrectly :)Another confession: I really want to blow the awesome check I just got from the library on a new computer, since mine is POS. But it still works, and I need to use the money wisely. ::sigh:: It doesn't help that FI is saying go for it!

lpstl · July 2009

I think it's bullsh*t to go to a wedding and not even send a card. I didn't expect much from H's side, because most of them seem pretty clueless about weddings in general, but it turns out we got gifts or cards or something from nearly everyone on his side. I can count on one hand the number of prim and proper relatives, and the loaded relatives on my side that gave us something. I don't care about getting expensive gifts, but sh*t, at least send a card.

mwhitson14 · July 2009

weird = word.My work follows me to the knot sometimes. . .
