Have you seen any of your friends' or familiy members' 'true colors' during your wedding planning so far?

SSaltzman87 · October 2012

More FI's family than mine, just shows how much they fail at communicating. Also his cousin setting his date for the same day as ours, but hey- that means we'll have 5 less dbags at our wedding :-P

Somewhat. His parents and my mom are more stubborn than I thought. But other than that, not really.

So far no, but we still have 7 months to go...

VJones1981 · October 2012

Yes! Some good and some not so good. Lol.

No major issues, but I'm learning more every day about how unorganized my FI's family is, and how making any major plans tends to stress them out. Good thing I'm good at planning. They like it when I just tell them how it's going to be, then they don't stress as much.

also, I was a little worried about having one of my brothers involved in the wedding, but there was some confusion about who was giving me away, so my mom asked that I have both brothers do it. So, I had a sit-down with both of them last week at my niece's wedding, and they both said that they will do whatever I ask them to do, and will not put up a fight. Now I just have to keep them to that.

Well if that's not enough to start family drama. Sheesh. I'm glad it's going to work in your favor! :D

Kind of. My mom is having a hard time with the fact that she can't contribute as much financially as FI's parents and we are. I really don't mind but every time we talk, she mentions it. And FSIL and sometimes FMIL seem like they are trying to relive their weddings through ours. Which is a tad bit annoying.

My mom got super into dress shopping when I went with her which was a complete surprise. She wanted me to pretty much get all of the dresses that were a "maybe" plus one princency type dress that looked great, but just wasn't what I wanted. It was more funny then anything else cause usually she hates shopping/doesn't get that into this kindof thing, and she didn't get mad or anything when I didn't buy the ones she wanted.

One friend who questioned my date and her douche boyfriend who questioned the location. As far as our families, everyone is supportive and excited

melb2013 · October 2012

FI's family. It's been a learning experience to say the least lol

turtleslove · October 2012

Honestly I thought my mom would contribute a little more, not that I am upset or expected it- just surprised knowing how she is.
FI parents are exaclty as I expected... Could be worse tho!

rswans · October 2012

A bit. My FI and I (pretty much me) have done most of the planning and between that and our reception is pretty much all inclusive, there aren't a whole lot of projects, just organizing vendors, dresses, people, etc. My parents are fine with that and I have my mom come with me to be able to see stuff, but it's still mine and my FI's choices. They've both told me "we had the wedding we wanted 35 years ago, this is your wedding we want it to be what you want."

My FMIL really wants to help out and wants input on stuff, but there isn't much to do, so it results in a bit of miscommuncation and stress. I've been the point person, but when she doesn't like what I say or thinks I'm keeping my FI out of the loop, she emails him to tell him. Meanwhile, he actually knows and in some cases made the decisions that I'm telling her about. She's pretty awesome a majority of the time, but I think she feels a little like I'm taking away her only child.

Same here with my mom. She keeps asking what she can do and when I tell her nothing yet since we aren't making anything yet she just says he wishes she had money for me.

I have to say our families are great and really never interfere in our personal business and that includes the wedding. Really they have been so helpful and supportive :-)

deviousmuse · October 2012

Well, FI asked his dad to be in the WP, and then just a couple weeks ago, he dropped out. He said he'd rather attend - and doesn't care that it hurts his son's feelings. But FI warned me up front that his dad was pretty selfish.

Other than that, no one has surprised me - I knew my mom would be crazy... My MOH has known as long as we've been friends (18 years!!) that she'd be in charge of keeping my mom in check for my wedding.

Nothing I can think of...

babyblues21 · October 2012

Nothing I didn't already know...

RebCappon · October 2012

I thank goodness, knock on wood have not had many problems. Other then FMIL not being very helpful with cutting the guest list and not wanting the open bar there has been nothing too major.
