Re: WTF Wednesday

  •  We have 24 days until our wedding.
     
    #1 I feel like I have nothing done! Although I'm right on target with DYI, programs, emergency kits, etc. I feel like I'm behind on all the small things that need to get done! I
    #2 Behind on gifts!! AHHHHHH running out of money and my boudoir photos fell through! photographer is scum :( Also, FI has 'no idea' what to get his parents and doesn't like annnny of my suggestions! GM gifts aren't done and neither are the BM! (Just need to get another $20 gift for everyone.)
    #3 It's like pulling teeth to have any help from my girls. Even my MOH. My cousin, who is a bm, is helping a tonnnn and she lives four hours away!
    #4 I can't focus at work and I'm feeling like I'm falling behind on the projects!
    #5 Our priest is soooo lazy! We never did the counseling even after nagging him to set up multiple appts. with him. And i was really looking forward to them!
    #6 I haven't been to the gym in 4weeks! Oh wait that's a month =-/

    Not stressed at all, can you tell?!
  • We have 4 days left...

    FI does not want to do a mother/son dance but told his mom that he would do one if she wanted to.  So he had the conversation with her about a month ago and she said if he didn't want to, she wouldn't.  I had my final meeting with the DJ and told him no mother/son dance.  Then about 3 weeks ago, she told ME she changed her mind.  I told her she needed to talk to FI and emphasized the ASAP, because I needed to let the DJ know. 

    Last night, she tells FI on the phone that she needs to get ready for their dance.  UGH!  There are 4 days left...she needs to pick a song like yesterday so I can let the DJ know and it's not one more thing that I need to take care of in the last few days.

  • WTF, FI? I got a whle batch of texts about how "the house isn't clean" and I don't make an effort.  I'm sorry, at what point did you want me to do your laundry last night? When our downstairs neighbors were already doing wash? Did you want me to do it while I was picking up your dog? Or while I was cooking you dinner? Or while I was staying up late to work on favors? Or while I was grading papers and planning lessons for my principal's observation today? DO ANY OF THOSE TIMES WORK FOR YOU?!

    Ugh.

    Ok. Now I won't say all that to him. I hope.

  • WTF bridesmaid ??? You don't want to make an APP. to get your hair done... you are just going to walk into a salon and hope they take you in a small little town in the middle of no where...

    oh so you called the number I gave you ok.. oh they close at noon... so you have to have your hair done at 11 am? ok what's the problem.. oh it is going to come out by 4? I am having my hair done at 10 and it better not be a mess by 4 LOL!!!

    Oh you don't want hairspray cause it makes your hair crunchy... well WTF then.. put it in a ponytail I don't particularily care anymore... (The worse she looks the better I LOOK! SO THERE) (I didn't actually say that) ...

    FMIL,
    I know your heart is in the right place, but we do not need to sit down and discuss every little wedding detail.  I can also scrap ideas in a moments notice if I don't see time or a need for them.  I hold that right as the bride.

    Everyone else,
    Can you please stop nagging me for like a day?!  I'm overwhelmed!!

    Mom,
    Can you please involve yourself a bit more in my wedding planning?  I know I'm the fifth and final kid to get married, and you are more than "over it," but I still need my mommy!!

    Guests,
    How the crap am I still waiting on 46 RSVPs?!  It's preaddressed and postage paid!!

  • yesterday was supposed to be my last day at work..but I couldn't sleep last night because I still have loose strings I need to tie up before being able to relax.. I don't get paid enough for all this stress. But I also have to have my newbie backup covering for me while I'm out... he'd better not screw up!! argh!!! So I have to go in for a bit today to finish things up, but I know I still won't get it all done,

    as for wedding WTF... FI got annoyed with me that I'm kicking him out of the house at 11:30 on the day of the wedding because hair and make up are getting there at 11:45.  He's lucky he's even getting to sleep there.. if I had my choice we'd be spending the night apart, but he has no where to go that wouldn't cost us money.  But he's not going to hang around the house while I get ready! He's only allowed to see the final product.

  • MOH ordered her dress so so super late, it is expected to come in on Oct 25th....I'm getting married on the 27th!!! WTF!

    MOH can't come to my bachelorette party.  She has to work, I get it.  but still

    Fi's grama offered to cook for the RD a few days ago.  What a nice gesture but seriously?  We booked a banquet room weeks ago!  offering to help 4 weeks out is seriously too little too late.  not to mention we are having like 30 people.  don't think we all would fit around her kitchen table.  I love her to death and she is the sweetest woman ever, but I had to stop myself for chuckling when she suggested she would cook for the RD

    My mom keeps telling me a seating chart/escort cards is stupid.  WTF MOM!  MY wedding, MY decision! grrrrr!

    Mom also doesn't want to wear a dress, she wants to wear a pant suit.  I can't control what she wears.  But I mean really?

  • WTF on my Uncle.

    So a few weeks back my parents met him for dinner and they say something about the RSVP date since we hadn't gotten his back and it's only a few days from the RSVP date.  He clams he never got it.  He shares a PO Box with my grandma b/c he's cheap, and she told me she gave it to him... so I email him all the pdf files for the invites b/c I only had one left b/c there were some last minute invites and I wanted to keep it.  He response back with, great I'll be there with a date... umm your single dude, I'm 100% sure of this. So I respond with, well we were only give +1's to people in relationships but you're my uncle, we want you to be happy, so ok, but I need a name for the place card.  He replys I don't know  who it is yet.  Ok, Ok, breath, don't yell... ok we need the name of your date by X date or its a no go, he then says that its going to be who ever he can get to bring him to the ceremony.  WTF you have a car us it, I'm even providing a shuttle so you can drink and NOT drive!!!! I'm NOT paying for your taxi driver.  I just didn't reply, luckly one of my wonderful aunts heard about it and is picking him up!

    Well, Sunday I hear from my FMIL that she booked an extra room that they don't need anymore and I know the hotel is booked solid so I call/email around to see if all the family got rooms.  Last email was to the same uncle, can he didn't (of course he waited to the last minute to call them!!) so he asks who to pay, I tell him they are going to transfer the room over to him and he needs to call the hotel with his CC # b/c FMIL won't have time for such things that weekend, then after about 10 emails we final get him straight, after him asking twice what the hotel phone number is, well its on the accommodations insert, on the website, and on GOOGLE!  Seriously, our wedding is in 2 days!! Do you have any idea how busy I am, figure it out yourself.  But I kept calm (somehow) and we finally got everything worked out.  God, I can't wait for his daughter to get married so he has to deal with people like him...

  • My mom has decided that she doesn't like the smores bar favors that I had planned and purchased and has now decided that she will provide her own favor "From Joe and Connie."  That is NOT how it works, 2 favors is overkill, and this is NOT your wedding.  Favors aren't from the parents.  FMIL loved mom's idea for mini apple pies and has made about 70 already.  All of this was decided without me.  I'm fine with adding it somewhere or not doing the smores as a favor.  Would have been nice to know before I bought everything and start building the bar for roasting the marshmallows.

    Also, mom I think you can stay in your tealength dress for the entire evening.  I'm not doing a dress change, I don't think you need to either.  Even if you do want to change into "a nice pantsuit."  You can dance and have fun in a dress.  If you feel you can't then you should have looked for a different dress.  Of course you waited until 3 weeks before the wedding to try to find one, so maybe it is super uncomfortable.  And naturally the corsage clashes with it because I had to order it before you even thought about shopping for a dress.

  • WTF Me,

    You have so much to do. Stop getting on Facebook, Twitter, The Knot, your registry sites, etc. and DO YOUR WORK! Yes, it sucks that because you need client approval on things you essentially have to do 3-4 weeks of work in 1 1/2 weeks.  Stop making things harder on yourself and writeyour danm blogs, social media content and press releases.  You don't want your boos calling when you are on vacation!

    WTF FI,

    If you say something about how this is "my wedding" one more time as an excuse not to help, so help me God I will shank you.

  • My dad's cousin sent in his RSVP card today.  My date was only 3 WEEKS AGO!!!  It's ok, I haven't done tables yet or anything.  And no, I also didn't send my escort cards to the calligrapher this morning.

    WTF FI who is just making excuses for the photographer and saying 'it's okay I will take care of it' no you won't, just like the 200 other things that you haven't done that I have asked you to do.

    WTF BMs who will not take the time to come over and try on their dresses so that they can be altered.
