    Snail - I don't think your FI is a diick. Honest. I'm just sad you're sad about your wedding. J&K has a really good point about how your FI would do this to make you happy, and that it's *okay*.

    Poufy dresses are awesome. I plan to have a poufy dress.

    [QUOTE]Dude, Snail.  Stop and listen to yourself.  Tell your FI how you feel.  You don't have to be an ass about it, but he should know that the cake is important to you. <strong> You just said if he knew how you felt, you could have your cake.  Which yes, isn't as important in the long run as your FI being happy, but not having a late night snack is something he will GET OVER. </strong> You are disappointed about the whole wedding, let him be disappointed about the late night snack if that's how he'll feel. And they didn't offer to let you try on the dress with petticoats?  Why didn't you ask, you goon?  Go back, and ask to try it on with petticoats so you can figure out what you should have.  Be assertive.  You're being too passive for your own good here.
    Posted by J&K10910[/QUOTE]<div>
    </div><div>Also, I see that you understand that a happy FI is better than a wedding detail.  But does he?  Because you're so worried about keeping him happy that you're making yourself hate your own wedding basically, and obviously you're not happy.  </div><div>
    </div><div>If you are really giving in to everything else for him then you are well within your rights to stand your ground on this.  Say something like: "FI, I understand that you like the sheet cake idea and doing late night snacks.  But a tiered cake is something that I've always dreamed of having for my wedding.  Plus I love the idea that you and I can share the top tier together on our one year anniversary.  I have been very respecting to your wishes for this wedding, and I would love if you could respect my wish to have a tiered cake"</div><div>

    Heh. Every time I have to talk to him about something, I peek at his screen to make sure there isn't some yellow or purple creature beating his ass. If he's just running around collecting gold, I don't care about interrupting.<div>
    </div><div>Tonight, I found out you can pause the game (!!!), so all bets are off. I didn't think he could since you can't pause WoW (same designers). I always operated under the assumption that interrupting fiancee = death.</div>

    Hmm....I wonder if our top tier will still taste good at about 2 years and 1 month?  It's been in my aunts freezer since our wedding and we forgot about it when we were home together last September.  I'm thinking it won't.

    Yeah, I totally just made a facebook status that my hurricane bin is no longer complete and I need to add vodka and crystal light or at least a corkscrew.

    <div>I have a solar/wind-up radio/flashlight/phone charger, a couple gallons of water, and a couple days' worth of food that keeps without refrigeration and needs no heating (canned or dried stuff).  The dried stuff all fits in a plastic box.  I figure if we get 18-36 hours' warning, I can get other stuff too, but this stuff will help extend how long we can go without power.</div>

    PIP of my wedding dress:
    It has a short train, and I always wanted a long one. I don't think there's anything to be done to elongate it. I'm wearing the petticoat in the pics.

    When I went in to try it on, the consultant was in a big hurry to get us out of there- FSIL was pissed and trying to get her to let me try some stuff, but she was not having it and my hour long appointment ended up only beng about 20 minutes. I really should call and see if they can get me in for another appointment... You'd think they'd jump at the chance to have me in again, right?

    I really like Beachy's phrasing for what to say to FI. I just get nervous, because he doesn't get that I've caved on so much stuff, since I didn't make a big deal out of it. And I did make him give up some stuff, but that's because it went against etiquette, and I was NOT having it- like wanting to have a special bottle of scotch that only he, his GM, and his dad/grandfathers could have any of, for example. (we compromised that there will be a special bottle of scotch, but it will not be in open view, its existence will be spread by word of mouth, but anyone who notices it/asks for it can have some) So, he feels like he's given up a lot to make me happy, but it's all stuff that was just... wrong, not that I was being a domineering biiitch and taking over the wedding. I think I'll fight for my wedding cake.

    You guys are awesome. I thought I would get flamed for being all WEDDING WEDDING WEDDING in a NWR thread.

    My FI plays LOL, and that game also cannot be paused. Although he has lied and told his friends that his internet died so that's why he logged off in the middle of a game when I came in the room nekkid before, so at least his priorities are in line.

    Mica, I was just thinking about getting a long veil tonight. Do you think that would look strange if the veil extended beyond the train of my dress? I already have a veil I like that's fingertip, but it's borrowed from a friend, so I wouldn't be out anything if I went and bought one now that would make me feel a little more like a pretty pretty princess.

    Also, isn't poke getting married like... today? or tomorrow? That just popped into my head for some reason.

    Your right, you couldn't add a longer train to that dress, I don't think.  You could get a longer veil that would trail beind the dress a little.   You wouldn't probably want to wear it all night or it would get stepped on, but my veil was a little longer than my dress and I loved it that way.

    I'm probably the last person to give advice on dress regrets or anything because I bought the second dress I tried on because I loved it enough, and never even let myself regret it.  I was such a non-stereotypical bride when it came to my dress.

    I think your dress is lovely AND poufy!

    And the chat threads are the easy ones to jump into. Its the FFF that shoud make newbs faint of heart :)  

    And we havent had FFF in AT least two weeks.  Maybe that's why the June 2013 board had to flame us.
