Confession Thursday

Let's hear 'em ladies!

Ividian · August 2012

I've got kind of a big one today. My little sister is pregnant, and I'm very excited for her and for my niece or nephew to be. However, she's due the week after my wedding. I am very ashamed to admit that when she first told me I was upset that she'd upstage my wedding and get all the attention, and even though 99.9% of the time I'm happy and excited for her every once in a while I'm still upset and worried she'll get more attention than me on my big day. And nobody knows this except my FI.

[Deleted User] · August 2012

I would totally feel the same way! I confess that I am feeling very calm about things right now and it is making me nervous!

Ividian · August 2012

Thanks Steph

and don't feel nervous about feeling calm, it just means you're totally in control, on top of things and happy!

I confess that I'm not looking forward to having my stepdaughters tonight. I've been in this funk lately that I just don't want to do anything or go anywhere. I just want to lay in bed all day. They've also been a bit of a handful lately and I find myself on the verge of loosing it because they stress me out too much sometimes. I've had a headache for the last three days and I don't want to deal with fighting, screaming girls running around the house.

lepoissonrouge · August 2012

Don't feel bad about feeling that way lvidian! I get so irritated with girls on here who tear people apart because they for a even a moment are a little bummed about the attention being taken of of them on their wedding day. We are human, and we are women! Calm down and don't act like you've never felt like that before! It is what you DO with those feelings that becomes the issue!! Grr, Ok. Done now : )

I confess that all that is left to do with my ivites is seal and send them, But I just don't even want to look at them right now, lol. Why am I doing this to myself?? I have a problem, lol

goatlady12 · August 2012

I'm going to be at my County Fair all weekend because I exhibit livestock. I confess that once I walk onto a fairgrounds healthy eating will go out the window. I look so forward to fair food! It's soo yummy, mmmmmm cheese curds and mini donuts!!!

kimm260 · August 2012

I confess that I am bummed that FI doesn't want to do anything bachelor-y before the wedding. He doesn't like sports or bars and his GM's do so I think he thinks it would be hard for them to plan somehting for him. He has said he would like to play video games and stuff at his parents house which is fine. I just don't want him to be upset that he didn't do something bigger like go to a casino or something.

I also confess that as it gets closer to the shower the antsyier and more anxious I feel and I am not sure why.

I also confess that all summer I should have been working on lesson planning for the first couple of weeks/months of school and I have done NOTHING~

catwine · August 2012

my confession is that i'm annoyed and sad that i may not get a bridal shower with all my BMs there. Nobody (like my mom, FMIL or MOH) had started planning anything so I just gave my mom the shower list adn said "here, plan my shower". She hasn't done anything adn now my FMIL is telling me she e-mailed my mom to talk about the shower but my mom still hasn't read her e-mails!
Even though there is still plenty of time before my wedding, tehre really isn't that much time for the shower because my MOH-who is also my FSIL is leaving for field camp in the middle of August and will be gone until September. PLUS, one of my BMs is working all summer up North but will leave for Europe a coupple days after she gets home...and she is gone until about a week before my wedding.

phew...that was a lot.

Ividian · August 2012

Thanks for the support girls, I felt horrible about feeling that way, and I obviously didn't even hint AT ALL to ANYBODY other than FI that I was feeling that way. I've been nothing but excited and supportive around her and my parents and their friends and everybody. I'm not beating myself up about it too much, and the more time that passes the less worried I am. But it felt good to get it off my chest and to know that I'm not being a crazy biotch

My sister told us she was pregnant at lunch right after we went to buy my wedding dress. As happy as I was for her, I was a little urked that she as stealing my thunder. I was also upset that the baby was going to be at the wedding because I thought everyone would be fawning over the baby and not me. I know it's selfish, but it's how I felt. I am happy to say tho that now that my nephew is born, I can't imagine him not being there on my big day, I just adore him! I think one the little one gets closer to being born, you'll feel differently. Don't get down on yourself about it, we all have these moments.

futuremrsjdmartin · August 2012

I confess that I'm super disappointed the my birthday is in 2 weeks and FI just keeps saying he doesnt know what or if we're going to do anything for it.

ReyesToy · August 2012

I spent a lot of time on my 100+ invites so I decided to mail them everytime I finished a bunch. I purposely mailed my family and friends' invites several days before those for FI's side because I wanted my side to get first dibs on our hotel block :P
Though I'm not sure if it worked because a lot of people on my side are known to get things done at the last-minute.

Posted by futuremrsjdmartin[/QUOTE]

<div>My birthday was Monday - my FI didn't know what we were doing until like 2 days before. Don't worry - I'm sure it's also the wedding stress getting to him a bit so it's hard to plan both. I'm sure he'll think of/do something nice!</div>

mmmendi · August 2012

I just posted on the E board that I am irritated I didnt do my own research. Our original plan was to choose a wedding date early in October (first Saturday) so that we could double up on our vacation time for a HM/drive to Ft Jackson to see FI's son graduate from Basic Training. He flew out Tuesday. No matter how I add it up now, based on what I decided to look up - he will graduate before the wedding! I confess I feel I am being cheated out of my Honeymoon and won't get any rest. Either FI will have to go without me, or I will have to do last minute wedding planning from the road!

mbuckley85 · August 2012

I confess that I still have shower gifts all over the dining room table and in the kitchen, even though my shower was Sunday and I really haven't had anything important to do. I also confess that I did absolutely no thank you notes today. There is always tomorrow...

I do plan on finishing them by the end of next week, so I guess that isn't so bad. My mom told me I should have them out in 1 week! For 60+ people? I don't think so...

amandaorgan · August 2012

I confess that I have come to a hault on wedding planning. We still have so much to do (select hair/make up, florist, baker/bakery, his ring, repair my ring, DIY stuff, all sorts of payments, ETC ETC), butI have just been overwhelmed at work lately and our wedding has sort of taken the back burner. Anyone want to motivate me to get back into the wedding planning spirit??

SN - FI was on the phone yesterday with a friend who asked how wedding planning was going, and he said 'OH it's great, It's pretty much done." I confess that he got the death stare from me LOL.

[Deleted User] · August 2012

I confess that I'm going to be more than a little annoyed if people don't start buying things off our registry. At my first shower only two gifts were actually purchased from the registry.And, for example, FI and I had a block of knives. At my first shower a friend got us a block of knives, not from our registry that look nearly identical to the set we were hoping to upgrade. Now if someone does get us the block of knives from our registry we'll have 3 sets! I feel like part of the point of the registry is so you don't get too many duplicates and get items you'll actually use! I'm not trying to sound gift grabby, just practical.

samanthaeisner · August 2012

I want to start off by saying I love my engagement ring. It is absolutely everything I wanted. The jeweler my fiance used doesn't exactly listen (I learned this when trying to order wedding rings). He had pictures of what I wanted for my engagement ring, but I don't know if he brought them when he went to her to order the ring. I wanted a round diamong with a halo around it. I have that, but my diamond is completely above the halo and you can barely see the halo. She told him if I wanted, I can have her drop the stone down, but it would take a week. When we first got engaged, I couldn't think about being without my ring for a week. Last month I went with a friend to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend (he's proposing this weekend!!!!) His jeweler looked at my ring and told me that the reason she set my stone so high is because the halo is smaller than the diamond and in order to fix it, the whole thing would have to be re-set. Now it's all I can think about. I really want my ring the way it should be. I know getting my ring re-set (even if it were exactly the same) would hurt my fiance's feelings.

We're going next week to pick up wedding bands. I told my fiance the other night that I want to talk to her about dropping the stone and he said, in a flat voice, do what you want, you know what the other jeweler told you.

The way my ring is set has been bothering me so much, it literally kept me up all night the other night. I never thought about actually fixing my ring until this other jeweler said something to me last month.

hllokttygirl · August 2012

I got a big one this week. FI doesn't want more kids, but I want one more. I am baby crazed right now. My confession is sometimes I think about just cancelling the wedding and moving on before it becomes a huge issue down the road. Two of our friends are going through this now and it is an issue where there is definitely no compromise. I love him so much and he is so wonderful that leaving just seems so stupid and selfish, so I stay,

aimeek420 · August 2012

I confess that I'm dying to get a call to interview for a new position in my district. The attitude and climate of my current building is stressing me out to the max, and my closest co-worker purposefully sabotages my work and talks about me negatively to other staff members behind my back, and is generally crazy. I don't care about it for me, but it hurts the kids I'm trying to serve and impacts their educations. Thankfully, I have an influential person in my corner who has been talking me up to the big wigs at the central office, and the position I applied for is not posted, so few people know about it. I just have to get out.

Wedding related, I confess that I am registry stalking out of control for my shower on Saturday. Last weekend, I had a FIL shower, and a few people bought items not on our registry, which was okay, but what's the point of having a registry then? There are many items we need, so hopefully at this bigger shower coming up, we'll get some of them. Not being gift grabby, but when the time and energy is put into a registry, I'd like it to be worthwhile.

Posted by hllokttygirl[/QUOTE]

<div>This is the arguement that FI and I have. He is ready to start a family, I, on the other hand, am not. I told him from day 1 I dont think I want kids. It was a sore subject for years that we just wouldnt talk about. He just kept saying I'll change my mind, well 7 1/2 years later, hes seeing all his friends from HS starting families trying to persuade him to join the club, but I'm still not ready. I finally had to sit down with him and tell him I may never change my mind and if hes not okay with that I think we need to part ways. I guess luckily for me he said he would stick it out with or without kids. He can always be an uncle to his friends kids <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" /></div><div>
</div><div>since we started living together 2 years ago our families have started to push that we need to make it official "stop living in sin" as they put it. The saying is starting to get on my nerves. They never brought it up until we said we were offically starting to plan the wedding. </div>

SharEtoBe · August 2012

I confess that every time I think about the wedding (which is always) I keep wondering when this is going to start being fun. I feel like every aspect of our wedding so far has had a glitch. After a particularly stressful day earlier this week, I said to FI that we should give up our deposits and just elope since we haven't sent invites yet. He laughed and said, "yeah right you're so funny honey." Truth is I was totally serious but I didn't admit it. Sigh..

Ividian · August 2012

I'm sorry some of you are having baby related issues, that is really tough to disagree about. I hope everything works out well for you.

Poppy101212 · August 2012

I confess that I am SUPER annoyed with FI's aunt. There was a family dinner and some people started asking about our wedding. FI's cousin (who is 16) asked Aunt jerk if she can get a new dress for the wedding. Aunt jerk said "Oh now you are going to wear that beautiful floor lenght WHITE dress with a the glitter on it". Yeah fukk you aunt jerk! I know cousin is 16, and I know that no one will think she is the bride but come on!
