Does anyone else feel...
Does anyone feel like they have few friends? Are there any other brides to be out there that just feel like they have no one to really share their planning experience with and have very few friends?
i grew up in NJ, moved to NY several years ago, and i find that i really have no one i am close with out here in my area...ya know...to go look at dresses with or even shoot ideas to about my wedding. My fiance and I dont have many friends in NY. Everyone we know is in Mass or NJ. we are 30/29 yrs old and all of our friends have kids. I also work a lot right now because we are paying for our wedding. Our social life was great when we were younger but as we get older i find that no one has time anymore to put any effort into a friendship with us. we are constantly bending over backwards for people and constantly getting screwed. we need new friends. nice, fun, normal people, with good personalities...people like us.
But ill put this out there....if anyones interested in getting together, maybe meeting up for drinks or dinner or just maybe becoming friends on Facebook or something first until we get to know one another, im totally down for meeting new friends, LOL! Especially couples since its hard at our age to meet new friends.
i hope you girls dont think this is odd or weird...but i figured we would at least have something in common...wedding planning. i feel so lonely and alone in this whole wedding planning process. its just me and my fiance...and thats it.
so if anyones interested... look me up on FB ...Donna Marie Eschrich

BTW- If any of you are interested. ,... there is a bridal show at the Sheraton Hotel in Smithtown on March 6. Me and my FI are going. Should be a good show. I am not getting married until 5/27/12 but still have a few vendors i am looking for.
Its a Boscos Wedding showcase
I think you are courageous for expressing yourself here, and you're also taking steps to change your life for the better. You suggested Facebook, which is a great way to connect. Another may be Twitter. What's great about Twitter is that you can find and follow brides in your specific community, and then, if you take time to engage them in dialog, it would lead to friendships.
Whatever else you do, please don't feel like you are alone. Many people feel pressure to have huge social lives. The important thing is that you found a wonderful person to share your life with and that's a great start!

so social interactions are so limited...especially thanks to the internet and all these sites which make one on one physical interaction with someone a thing of the past.
i think of all the other women here who might have different things they are dealing with...stress with the wedding, fighting with inlaws, money issues....etc and i think they should know too that there are other women out there going through some of the same issues too.
it took a lot to look at my life and realize that the effort to meet people is my responsibility if im feeling this way. so i decided to seek people out myself. honestly i thought people would think its weird...but i see now that there are people out there who truly understand and i am grateful that there are people who have reached out to me.
maybe we can make some sort of girls night out thing....maybe some long island or NY brides to be will want to get together and go for drinks? if anyone is game let me know.
Send me a PM and I'll send you my link to my FB page.
