Say Anything Wednesday!

fallbride1109 · October 2009

My two best friends from high school have not sent their RSVP to my wedding. I have known one of them since second grade. These are educated women who both had big weddings and are well informed on proper etiquette. It is beyond rude and I am seriously considering posting my feelings on their Facebook.

Mariah - Gary Allan, Randy Rogers, Stoney, and Eli Young Band on Saturday 10/24. You should totally go!We are going with some friends and I bought a 6 pack of lawn seats including parking for only $12.50 each.

Tiffany618 · October 2009

Mariah - Gary Allan, Randy Rogers, Stoney, and Eli Young Band on Saturday 10/24. You should totally go!OMG. Yes. Where is this?

amber&richard05 · October 2009

I tried the pumpkin spice latte at 7 eleven a week ago, and personally I think it taste better then the starbucks one. I made a trip to 7 eleven about 3 times this weekend just to get one! Bonus is they are about 2-3 dollars cheaper then Starbucks!

A friend that I made on a Grey's Anatomy board at least 2 or 3 years ago (and I still haven't met face to face...she lives in SC) just told me her work won't let her take off to come to my wedding

she had to have surgery earlier this year and hadn't accrued enough sick time to cover it and had to use her personal vacation days.I understand and know she feels horrible about it but I'm really really sad. They won't even let her take the days off unpaid and she said technically she isn't salaried. why are they being so stupid?!

Tiffany618 · October 2009

Mariah - it is at Super Pages. I was wrong about Randy Rogers though...but everyone else is still awesome!

If it weren't for facebook, I'd probably not ever talk to my oldest (continuous) childhood friend who moved to Italy after her first year of college, which was my last year of high school. Neither of us can afford the phone bills. I hate that we're apart though. My Matron lives in McKinney and I don't ever see her. We were roommates our first year in college and I miss it so much. Now she's married and has a baby, I'm getting married and working full time and starting to go back to school--our lives are completely different. I wish we had had more time to be silly college girls.

BanannaP · October 2009

"I wish we had had more time to be silly college girls." I so feel you on that. I had such a great group of friends at TWU. Most of our group still lives in the metroplex, but one is now in East Texas. I'm in Nashville for now and may be moving to another state after that. We all get together two or three times a year, and it does my soul good every time.

TCUESW1999 · October 2009

Ok really, what is up with most of us dealing with MOH, bridesmaids, etc????!! I have had to deal with drama from FOUR girls about the wedding. I really thought I was the only one who had these kinds of issues but realize I am not the only one and it makes me feel a little better knowing that....sorry ladies, lol. I have realized that weddings bring out the best and worst in people and you will realize who your true friends are. I am very disappointed in the way some girls have acted and I will no longer pursue a friendship after the wedding. Simple as that. Steph, I know exactly how you feel. I still haven't heard back from half of my friends. I told my mom I was going to call and email people to ask why they hadn't sent their reply card back and if they are coming to the wedding and she was horrified that I would even think of doing that because that is not "proper etiquette" but I am to the point to where I don't care because I have to get a count for catering, etc. It is just so rude and it drives me nuts!

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

Another thing I don't get: If you're having so much trouble with "friends" in your BP and you're already contemplating not pursuing a friendship after the wedding-why even continue to keep them in your wedding? Why would you want to look back at the pictures from your wedding day and see people who you don't talk to anymore and lost your friendship with? Just go ahead and axe them from your wedding and save yourself the continued drama.

emimayor · October 2009

If the word dragging a$$ was in the dictionary, my picture would be next to it. I'm freaking exhausted today. And this girl in my class just told me she was also a newlywed...she got married 2 years ago.

kris928 · October 2009

I just found a recipe for pumpkin spice latte...mmmm, I can't wait to try it out!!

maykious · October 2009

My BM/MOH drama is all self-induced. I am having a very difficult time dealing with the possibility of hurting someone's feelings. I hate it. I can't even begin to tell you how much it pains me. As of right now, all my wedding stress is self-induced, really. I feel terrible doing certain things (like looking at locations, vendors, dresses, etc.) without certain people present, but I don't want to pass something up just because my entire family isn't there. I have good days and bad days. My mom and step mom are very helpful when I'm feeling down, but they're the ones I want to be involved the most. I picked my dress with only my mom there. My stepmom has only seen pictures (she's been my stepmom since the age of 6, so we're super close) and several of my friends made comments about how they were sad they couldn't go dress shopping with me at all. I felt terrible, but I absolutely won't go shopping again and never wanted to go with a huge entourage anyway. I could keep going and talk about so many other things that I'm trying to avoid making a decision on since I don't want to look like I'm favoring old friends over newer friends, or similar, but I won't. I have to remind myself that this is MY WEDDING. I need to do what I want to do and if someone lets her feelings be hurt for it, I can't control it. I did make the decision to leave on friend out of my BP for multiple reasons, not the least of which being that she has more or less detatched herself from the rest of us and blatently refuses to hang out with any of us anymore, regardless of how much we invite her or how sincere we are in our approach. I won't be able to count on her for anything and I have a very difficult time imagining that she and I will still be friends in a few years, if not in a year. It's very tough and I don't want her feelings to be hurt, but if she does eventually change for the better, she'll understand why I made that decision. Sorry for the long rant.

appletango85 · October 2009

Good point Mariah. If I was in that situation, I probably wouldn't do that so we wouldn't part on bad terms. And because I avoid confrontation. But I still plan on being friends with my bridal party and MoH. And I was in denial I think about my MoH and how flaky she REALLY is. But that's her with everybody. My BFF put it into perspective for me. She's in a completely different stage of life and while you can still be friends in a situation like that, it's won't be as easy to maintain and grow and get what you want/need out a friendship from someone else who is more in line with where I am at in life. And it's true. I love my MoH but I had too high of expectations for our friendship. And that is my fault.

And it's true. I love my MoH but I had too high of expectations for our friendship. And that is my fault. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to say yesterday about Lipstick's friend. There are girls out there who have no idea what it's like to be part of a wedding or understand the importance of being at an event or understand what some brides expect of their wedding party. No, you may not be that way (not talking about you in particular apple-just trying to make a point), but some people were not raised to understand the proper ettiquette of certain situations, weddings being one of them. Sometimes I think people expect way too much and because of that end up extremely disappointed that their friends didn't make their wedding the center of their lives.

appletango85 · October 2009

Donna I would be frustrated by that too just because it would look like I was the one copying and I hate looking like that. Plus it was all my hard work! Stupid? Yes. Will it matter in the long run? No. But oh well. David is like anti-copycat to the MAX. He won't even order the same dish as me at a restaurant even if he mentioned he wanted it first and then I said oooh that sounds good I'm going to get that too! He changes his order. it's so weird lol

appletango85 · October 2009

Coworker is talking to someone on the phone and mentioned one of our customers...Hose USA.But I did not hear Hose(or think Hose?)bwahahahahahaI think my mind lives in the gutter. I think I'm worse than a guy sometimes!

Donnaaries · October 2009

I just don't like the idea of having to censor wedding planning information to my own MOH. I know I'm being a little unrealistic thinking that my wedding will be unique or different since weddings are all weddings. But you know, we all want to feel that ours was "special" in some way. Not in a, "hey didn't we just see that 2 months ago?" kind of way.

SarahandAlex2010 · October 2009

I am so stressed out and I am NEED of a drink....or two!!!

kris928 · October 2009

My wedding is in June and I haven't booked a photographer yet, I'm worried that they will all be taken by the time I get around to it!

amber&richard05 · October 2009

I am holding off till probaly around thanksgiving or later to ask my bridal party, except for my sister and my BF. Call it waiting till the last minute but truely You never know what is going to happen. I don't think any of them would flake on me but you just never really know.

JustinandLindsay2009 · October 2009

Gary Allan, Randy Rogers, Stoney, and Eli Young Band on Saturday 10/24. You should totally go!Sad face

I wanted to go to this SOOOOOOO bad but then I heard it was on the 24th of October and we'll be in St. Kitts that day on our honeymoon. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sad about the honeymoon, I just wish we could do both. Gary Allen is my absolute favorite artist of all time!!! I've seen him like 6 times in person and it never gets old!!

DH works for UPS and he is a swing driver (like a substitute) for anyone out sick or on vacation. He almost never does the same route more than one or two days in a row. He knows many different routes (I'd say at least 20) and he has his favorites. The bosses keep putting him on his least favorite routes and putting other drivers with less seniority on the "better routes." (Better routes are those with less stops and/or less packages.) Today he was not scheduled on a route so he finally asked the boss if he could switch with someone with less seniority and the boss tells him that guy needs to work. Um, HELLO?? We have to eat and pay bills too, you know. DH is the only one of us with a full time job! He cannot just go home w/o pay one or two days a week!!Sorry for the rant. My main point is, the rules are: people with more seniority work first and get first pick on routes but everyone is scared of this guy and he has a wife and three kids so apparently he deserves to work more than DH. (And yes, I know that was a run on sentence.)

BalletBride620 · October 2009

request from a friend of a friend: Need help from out of state/country friends. A friend of mine is doing a postcard project with her 4th graders. They need postcards from as many locales as possible. You just need to write a couple of lines describing where you... are from. Please take a minute to help or pass it on to someone who can. You can mail them to: Thompson Elementary c/o Julie Ford 2915 Scott Mill Rd Carrollton TX 75007 I hope I didn't mess up the formatting for the rest of the post!

juliebug1997 · October 2009

During "Get Over It" on Kidd Kraddick this morning, a girl called in and told her sister that she's the MOH and not a slave. I thought of all the MOH/BM drama. Makes me really happy that I only had one and I didn't care if there was a Bachelorette Party or anything else.

untsing · October 2009

I have 2 days to learn the role of "Mama" Morton in "Chicago."

Mariah&Steven · October 2009

Makes me really happy that I didn't care if there was a Bachelorette Party or anything else. Ditto.

BalletBride620 · October 2009

I have 2 days to learn the role of "Mama" Morton in "Chicago." I am not trying to sound insensitive, but, that's awesome!! How did that happen?
