anyone? anything?

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

I'm still tired of people getting butt hurt. And has anyone said lately that "No one is going to be as excited about your wedding as you are"? So when someone doesn't show the right amount of interest or initiative in your wedding, please don't get offended and then think those people don't care about you or aren't your true friends.

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

The board was dead yesterday and it made me sad since I wanted to get entertained!

SCbrideinTX · October 2009

Mariah - I agree, but I think that sometimes people just need to vent. I think we all realize that people aren't going to be as excited about our wedding as we are, but does that mean that we can't still be disappointed and express our disappointment when things don't go as planned?

Mariah's siggy pic makes me want to throw up every time I see it!

Last night at church someone asked "So are we invited to the wedding?" Before I could even answer she goes, "Well of course we are! We were there when ya'll met. Can't wait to get my invitation!" How do you respond to that? It's true her and her hubby were around when FI and I met, but we hadn't planned on inviting them. We're already over our occupancy limit. Please people...don't assume you're invited to the wedding. Wait and see if you get an invite in the mail...if you don't, be understanding. Ok, got that off my chest. WHEW!

bdette -- I had someone at my GRANDFATHER'S FUNERAL come up to me -- an obscure family member at that -- and say "So I heard you got married. Of course we weren't there because we weren't invited." dude! Seriously?! LOL just get used to that, unfortunately. You're bound to piss off some people and hurt some feelings. they WILL get over it.

Someone who graduated last year and was in quite a few of my classes asked me for my address to send me an invite to her wedding. People were talking about it the other day (I think it is next weekend) and I realized I never got my invite

At this point I know I could never call and ask if it got lost or what, so I wish I would have realized sooner!

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

Alyssa, seriously, in the grand scheme of things, your friend not getting there until 5:00 is not going to make that much of a difference. Believe me. And everything works out in the end. I'm just trying to put things in perspective. Trust me, I've been there, done that, and realized how stupid it was to get upset over all the little things I let get to me. There are about a million things that if I could relieve the last few months before my wedding, I'd change and I definitely wouldn't have gotten so wrapped up and stressed over things that were A) out of my control or

trivial. ::sigh::

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

bdette, my Mom was at my grandmother's birthday party and was showing a family friend (whom I used to play with when were like 8 years old-haven't talked to her but maybe 2-3 times since) some pictures from our wedding and she was like, "I wasn't invited...". WTH? Who said that since I got married I had to invite every single person I've ever come in contact with!!??

untsing · October 2009

I agree with Mariah, BUT I would also have been pissed Alyssa. I mean, when you sign up to be a bridesmaid, it should be a given that you are there to help on the WHOLE wedding day. Not just a few hours before.

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

bdette - I know what you mean! I have one coworker at my job who gets very upset if he misses or doesn't get a invite to something. But to me...all he is a big freeloader who can't do a dam* thing for himself! HE is one of those who will eat somebody's lunch in the fridge WITHOUT asking because it could be raining outside and he doesnt want to get wet or he is "tired". He came up to me the other and asked when I was sending out the STD and if I needed his address. I just laughed but I couldn't help it! He!l no I dont want to invite this wimp, freeloading jerk, male shovenist (sp?) pig!!!!!!!!!! ok better now!

bdettecrow · October 2009

It's a big day in a person's life so it's understandable that someone would want to be a part of it, but I dunno...the way some people approach it is odd. I'm a very shy girl so it's hard for me to understand it. I would just wait to see if I got anything in the mail...I'm too afraid of confrontation. Ahh...I could go on, but I'll shut up now. I got in the shower this morning and for some odd reason decided to pop in knuckles (I quit doing this a long time ago, so that's why it's so odd). Anywho, my middle finger on my left hand is killing me and it's swelling up. What, oh what, did I do to myself!!

amberpro · October 2009

bdette- That sucks... I'm having the same problem at work! I'm sorry. People just need to understand that I simply can't invite all 65 teachers, their spouses, the administrators, the TAs... the list goes on! I figure it will all work out in the end, though, so I just smile and be vague. Oh... and I'm tired of reading Facebook posts in which people use its/it's and your/you're incorrectly. It grates my nerves every time.

SCbrideinTX · October 2009

Mariah - I totally agree that it's trivial and won't matter in the grand scheme of things. I said that in my post. I'm not holding it against my friend, I am just disappointed (not upset) that I'll have less time to hang out with her.My only point is if people want to vent, what's the harm in venting?

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

I think I would be upset too if she made plans before. I think I would feel like my wedding wasn't important to her or its my ONE day I asked for you to be by my side. I hope my BMs are there and I dont have to deal with this.

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

Ugh, just nevermind. Vent away. And Mandy, she IS going to be there the day of the wedding. She just won't be there until 5:00 the day before.

nae82 · October 2009

I agree with Mariah, BUT I would also have been pissed Alyssa. I mean, when you sign up to be a bridesmaid, it should be a given that you are there to help on the WHOLE wedding day. Not just a few hours before. Mandy, she's getting there at 5pm the day before the wedding, not on the wedding day.Either way, it is trivial, I wouldn't sweat that considering I had a BM show up for rehearsal (late) and rehearsal dinner but no show on the wedding day.

emimayor · October 2009

I second Mariah and the butt-hurt. FFF - Flame "FREE" Friday; therefore allowing someone to express their "flame" without having to get constant explanations...

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

And Mandy, she IS going to be there the day of the wedding. She just won't be there until 5:00 the day before.aahhh That changes it for me...I would want her there too but if not big deal. But come the day of the wedding...psh! I hope her butt is there the whole day!!!!! haha

maykious · October 2009

Alyssa, if I were you, I think I'd be more upset that my friend didn't want to spend more time with me during what you all know will be a particularly busy time for you. I have a friend that moved to LA recently and it can be difficult sometimes, but I always make time for her when she comes home. I would expect the same of your friend. I'm sorry she's being like that. It sucks. And no, there's nothing wrong with venting.

untsing · October 2009

Ah, sorry. Well again...I'd probably still be pissed. I needed a LOT of help for my wedding and I was SO grateful that my bridesmaids were available to me. I didn't force them to be by my side the whole time, but it was nice to know they would be if I needed them or asked them for some help. I tend to be a bit more sympathetic to Alyssa on this particular thing, though, because I also planned from out of town. It's tough.

Donnaaries · October 2009

I think it's hard having non-married BM's because they haven't been through the wedding planning process and really aren't aware of what is all involved. Before I planned my wedding, I assumed BM's duties were to show up in a dress, and help with baking some cookies/treats for the shower. But now that I've read a bazillion wedding blogs and magazines, I realize I'm gonna be such a better BM next time. I'm actually excited about throwing themed showers and doing other stuff, whereas before I thought this kind of stuff was stupid and prissy and pointless.I'm happy my MOH is now engaged because A) I really think the guy she's with is so good with her and

she's at least going to be somewhat aware of what all I'm doing and why I act crazy sometimes.

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

LOL Donna that cake is hilarious!

Donnaaries · October 2009

I love how they seem to have designed the cake around the beanie baby

maykious · October 2009

My FFF is that I understand now why my BFF was so flaky and slow to make decisions for any of her parties. I'm having a really hard time making decisions simply because I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I was MOH and the bride pretty much agreed with whatever anyone suggested, so all of us bridesmaids were arguing about what should and shouldn't happen. It drove me crazy, because she was telling us all different things. I totally understand what she was feeling now, although the pep talk my mom gave me last night (and my step-mom gave me a month ago...looks like I'll be needing this every few weeks or so) was really helpful. I will do what I want and if someone lets her feelings get hurt, I can't control it. I know it sounds stupid, but it's a problem for me and I'm going to fix it.

SCbrideinTX · October 2009

Dude - I want that cake, lol!

emimayor · October 2009

And Alyssa - I'd be more than dissappointed if I were you...The BM thing is an honor.

juliebug1997 · October 2009

While I'm trying to be nice because it is the first six weeks, a few kids are still going to fail the first six weeks. They wait until today....TODAY....to come ask me how they can bring their grade up. You can't. Sorry.

JessAndColton · October 2009

Hmmm...I am sorry, but I have a stupid teacher who is a bigwig in the counseling department and a stupid TA to add. 15/25 is NOT a good grade that I should "be proud of and keep up the good work." This is a counseling class, not math, but if you have the "Dr." before your name, you should be able to do basic math. THAT is a 60, and you need to reevaluate my three grades. That is all.

I'm annoyed by at-length discussions about this World of Warcraft game thing.
