Who Killed Your Post-Wedding Buzz

My brother killed my post-wedding buzz cause he was a pill that weekend and he later told me he "felt like a prop" because I made him be in so many pictures and ride the limo to the venue with me while I was making NERVOUS chit chat with the day-of-coordinator. My boss killed my post-wedding buzz by assigning me the most brain blowing project that no one else wanted to do. Yes I worked a 14-hr day today. My mom killed my post wedding buzz by sending the local paper a really craptastic picture of me from the wedding without telling me. Your turn...

    Not having a job and having to get independent health insurance with no maternity coverage (maternity coverage is EXPENSIVE). Yeah, job market sucks, but I could have an interview this net week, I hope, hope, hope.

    My IT department at work killed my post-wedding buzz by making it a huge PITA to change my name/email address etc. Seriously, we have hundreds of thousands of employees. You'd think they would have a system down for this type of thing. Surely, I'm not the first person to change my name.

    Ditto Sarah with not having a job. I had some hope pre-wedding and over 2 months later, still nothing. It's a high source of stress for me and has destroyed any newlywed bliss we were supposed to be involved in.

    Not having a job and having to get independent health insurance with no maternity coverage (maternity coverage is EXPENSIVE). Sounds like Uncle Fokking Sam killed your buzz. Don't get me started on health care. GOOD LUCK with the interview. I did know about opting out of maternity coverage. It's a good trick for a guy fresh out of college, not so much for a woman just married. Sorry about that!

    My grandmother passed away while we were on our honeymoon. We knew it was coming, but that was rough.

    We aren't planning on getting pregnant for abut 5 years, but we only had two choices: A) good health coverage, low deductible, NO maternity B) eh coverage, high deductible, we'd have to pay 30% of all costs even after deductible is reached, with maternity, and it's way more expensive. With Tim's knee messed up in HI, we wanted better coverage for therapy or surgery if needed down the road.

    Sarah - Independent health insurance is killing me too. Very pricey. I pay a pretty penny each month, but I feel better with it. Ugh.

    Sounds like you made the right choice, Sarah. Not to make light of your situation at ALL, but I would trade you my job for those five years! I am so sad that I am pretty much outta time and can't just be married without thinking I am old and need to start trying.

    This is making me feel better though. "Today, I went to buy a cake for my daughter's birthday. She really loves Twilight, so I decided to get her a vampire-related cake. I wrote down "fangs" as a decoration. The baker thought it said "wangs". My 10 year old daughter's cake has wangs all over it. Her party is tomorrow morning. FML" HAHAHA!

    Thanks Dawn & Gretchen. No, she didn't make it to the wedding, she had alzheimers and it would have been too much for her. I think I was somewhat ok with it (as ok as you can be) because it was time, but it killed me to get a call from my mom crying and know it was going to take at least two days to get back to her. Ironically we wouldn't have known at all on our honeymoon if we hadn't extended it at the last minute. They postponed services so they wouldn't "ruin" our honeymoon. Crazy that during something like that my family is worried about interrupting sexy time, but sweet in an odd way.

    My SIL, two days later for being a douche while we were doing the thank yous before we left for the US.  Then the day we left, I went to say bye and was being all nice, she blew me off by saying she was on the phone.  My husband almost killed her.  We live half way around the world from her, not the next state.

    I have no insurance. DH doesn't either. We are so freakin' lucky we haven't needed it yet. I'm scared. I just got a fat raise at work, so we started chatting about trying to pay for it out of pocket tonight. My shitey co-workers busted my post-wedding buzz. I had to go back 4 days later. Far to soon.

    haha, LP "sexy time" yay. AE, what is with people blowing off the bride. My brother did that too. I asked him to dance at my wedding and he said "Not to this song" - really?

    Lpstl - I'm so sorry to hear that. Just before my grandmother died, we knew that it would happen soon. It made it a bit easier to deal with because I was able to prepare for it, but it was still so hard. How nice of your family to do all of that for you and your DH. That must have really meant a lot to you.

    35, you've got about 5 years. I aunt had her first at 38 and they didn't test her for anything, but at 41 with the second, they did. I can understand where you feel pressure to start a family, but do you want that right now? And I think it's wangs as in penises or peni, not buffalo wings.

    I'm going to turn this into one I can participate in:Who killed my pre-wedding buzz:1. The vet yesterday, telling me that my kitten has something 'freaky' wrong with him that I won't like, and giving me a list of options that are all pretty terrible. And sad, given that we didn't lose Nomad very long ago, and losing the kitten we bought after he left us would be so hard. Let's hope the vet is wrong- tests still underway.2. My mother, calling me to tell me about an upcoming gyno visit (thanks for the info, Mum!) and venting that she's 'so upset this has to happen before the wedding', saying, "I just want to be nice and calm leading up to the wedding!". Whose wedding is this, again?3. The biopsy I've got to have on my breast next week. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I'm a bit apprehensive- more about the needle than the result. Understandably, I haven't told my mother about this one (see #2). 4. THE LACK OF DRESS.... and the lack of contact from dress shop owner. A month out, and when I called her this week she told me, 'oh I have a feeling it'll arrive any day now', which sounds fantastic save the fact that she also told me she has had no contact from the maker and that dresses 'usually just turn up without notice'. Yay.

    Thanks Dawn, although I must admit I am not overly worried. I don't have a family history of breast cancer and I think that given my age, the odds are in my favour. The biopsy is more just to reassure us than anything, as the ultrasound can't differentiate between fibre filled masses and cancerous masses. I don't think cancer is likely, though, and my doctor is only sending me as a precaution rather than out of concern. I think it'll be ok. I may pass out with the needle, though- I am pretty terrible with all things needle related.
