Confession Thursday! (On the right day :))

Johnsonk313 · April 2012

Hey Ladies it's confession Thursday!

My confession this week is about FI. Tuesday he told me he is going to try to care more about the wedding, and I confess I don't really want him to. I like being in my little decision making bubble not really having to worry about anyone else's input. Not to mention we have totally different opinions on what is reasonable when it comes to money. But whatever it's his wedding too so if he is serious I will suck it up and deal with it, but I am secretly hoping this will pass lol.

I confess that I secretly hope the other lady doesn't get the memo about job interviews tonight and it's just me who shows up. Or just that the board already has it decided that the job is for me.

WR - I confess we are probably going to be cutting it close money-wise. Also, I will be giving up a chunk to help pay for the reception... I know it could be worse, my parents are footing a HUGE portion of the bill (like all of it) and I'm super thankful but with a lot of unexpected medical expenses and just life in general contributing to that plus paying all of our vendors is starting to seem a little out of reach. (holy run on sentence)

NWR- I confess that I have checked out of work, on like , Tuesday. It should have been Friday two freakin days ago! I have lots to do though this afternoon so that will keep me busy.

BMcLeodTeam · April 2012

WR - I confess that I am wishing FI had taken me seriously on the elopement suggestion I made. I read on other boards about brides that are planning to elope and I get jealous...

NWR - I confess that I can't wait for the weekend and wish I could fastfoward through today and tomorrow. I also confess that I'm having a REALLY hard time staying at the calorie level that MFP wants me to be at and its getting frustrating! Lol

CowgirlK39 · April 2012

I confess that I was a little sad at my cousin's shower, because I realized my BMs will not be there for mine, like hers were for her. My MOH will try to be, but neither of the other two care. My cousin's BMs all helped her, took pics, wrote stuff down, and introduced themselves to all the guests. I'm almost embarrassed that mine won't be like that. The whole 2 hour ride back, my mom said she was sure one of my BMs has "sour grapes" and a general disapproval of my lifestyle, and I'm starting to see that. I guess I also confess that I didn't think it should be this hard to be there for a good friend for her wedding, but whatever.

Oh, I also confess that I cannot WAIT for FI to come home saturday, but that may be more of a frisky friday topic

WR: I just can't get back in the groove. Little things excite me, but overall it's just blah. I'm ready to just be walking down the aisle and to be married.

NWR: I don't really have one I guess. Maybe that I really need to sit down and write out this story I've been thinking about, but in general, I've just had such a huge lack of motivation.

Kello4221 · April 2012

I think it's just my period getting the better of me but right now I don't care about planning the wedding at all. At all! There is too much to do and there are enough other NWR things in my life that I am unmotivated but not caring (usually I stress, this is more like denial).

mamameech · April 2012

WR: I confess that I'm totally scared to face FMIL once she knows we're not having the church wedding. I know I have nothing to feel badly about and I do want her to know that I have no intention of "swaying" FI away from the church, but I guess it's only natural to want to please the "in-laws". Keep in mind, we are all supposed to be sharing a lot by next September.... eeek.I'm also very worried about meeting with the Pastor this Saturday for our last pre-marital class. We have to tell him "the news" and hope that he will still marry us outside the church. FI says that if he says no, he will reconsider his membership, which I hope doesn't happen.

NWR: I went to the periodontist this morning for a consultation and of course, I flossed, rinsed, brushed, and rinsed again beforehand LOLThe commented on how nice my teeth were and asked how often I floss. I replied "Occasionally." which really meant "when I have a dentist appointment." LOL

kwortman80 · April 2012

NWR: I feel like I've been a bad worker bee this week. I've been getting things done, but definitely not been giving work my full attention.

WR: I confess that I'm a little worried about people taking over my DIY projects with their own ideas and preferences. I've been keeping things relatively close-lipped until I figure out exactly what I want. I think there are people that want to help that I've been putting off for a while now, and I have this icky feeling that they're thinking I'm not grateful for their offers or something. It's mostly friends that aren't super close, like FI's friends' wives, and I want them to like me and all, but seriously want to make sure the day reflects my preferences, not their own. VENT.

Trins · April 2012

WR - I confess that planning this wedding has made me kind of resent kids, a little harsh I know but I don't know how else to word it. We don't want kids at the wedding, except my nieces who are flower girls, but they are wedding party so don't count. But the amount of people who still insist on thinking their kids are special and should be allowed to come is insane! Seriously, it's our wedding, we don't want kids there, suck it up and get a babysitter, how difficult is that!

NWR - I confess that I am super excited for Saturday because I get Panda!!! I'm going to cheat on my Visalus shake diet

We are Canadian but live on the border of Montana so we always go down there to do our big Costco run and when we do we always have lunch at Panda Express, I am addicted

Seriously why do we not have one of these in Canada?!?!?!?!? Hahahaha

morenachica110 · April 2012

I would like to add as well that I am SO over linens. FOR REAL. I don't care too much about them. Why are they so expensive?! I mean, I guess about $200 is technically expensive (considering the cost of all this other crap), but still... I don't want to spend that much. I just don't see a way around it. There has to be something covering those ugly asss tables. lol!

Also, Mama, I floss "occasioanlly" as well. My brother used to get mad because the dentist would get onto him about not taking care of his teeth while I would go in there and it would take all of 2 seconds for a "cleaning" because I cleaned them so well before going in. hahaha! I did mostly because the lady is less likely to scrape your teeth as long. I always hated that part =(

gabriel0915 · April 2012

WR: I confess that part of me just doesn't care and wants it done. I also wanted to elope and was told no.

NWR: I confess that sometimes I really hate my FI and how he acts. I've been out of work for 3 months and he STILL hasn't told his parents that I'm not working. They think that we are bringing on all this money and we aren't. I have a poli sci degree because I wanted to work in immigration, then the market tanked and gov't stopped hiring, like I knew that would happen. He tells me that it's worthless and he's pulling from his savings for me and he's sick of it. I'M SICK OF NOT WORKING! I tried to tell him I want a medical assisiting degree and work partime but he's not having it. I've put out hundreds of resumes and nothing has come up. I'm just fed up with people asking me and him hounding me like I'm just turning down all these jobs. I'm just done...

Sarah&Eric2012 · April 2012

WR: I confess that I wanted a Disney wedding since before FI proposed and I kind of resent not getting to have it because he wanted to include all of is friends and family. I know it's not fair of me but he has such a huge family and I don't know most of them. I hate thinking that I'm going to the the bride who has to be introduced to half her guests on her wedding day.

NWR: I confess that I'm having a really hard time eating what I should. I love carbs way too much to be dieting EVER. I log my calories in MFP and realize at the end of the day that the only veggies I had all day was the tomato sauce on my pizza at lunch (so bad).

MrsBassPlaya · April 2012

WR: I confess that I'm a little annoyed about the cake. I've been telling FI that we need to get a cake and we're running out of time/options. I finally had the time to contact vendors. Half of them never responded, and most of them were already booked. So he goes, "Oh. That's what you were worried about, wasn't it?" Uh... yeah. Then I showed him the design I want and he basically tells me no. Then he has the nerve to say, "Well, you've been telling me you want my opinion about wedding stuff. Aren't you happy I have an opinion about the cake?" I just looked at him and said, NO!

NWR: I am crawling out of my skin. I need some "bedroom time" so badly. I want to jump him when he comes in the door tonight, but I can't right now. Waiting a few more days just might kill me.

jessa1228 · April 2012

WR: I wish my dad didn't care so much about the details of the wedding. He and my mom are paying for the majority of the wedding, which of course I am beyond grateful for, but he knows that means he can have a huge say in the details. He almost threw a fit when FI didn't pick the tux that my dad liked (and wtf? he's not even paying for that), he had the final say on the menu, he argued with me about which cake flavors we should taste. I mean I like that he's interested in planning with me, but I almost wish he'd just be like "here's the budget" and let me and FI booked whatever we wanted.

NWR: I really hope FI starts getting some interviews and job offers soon so we know where the hell we'll be living in the next few months.

<div>This makes me so glad that my dad is chill about this stuff. Thank God my mom isn't paying for anything. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-surprised.gif" border="0" alt="Surprised" title="Surprised" /></div>

MrsReynolds12 · April 2012

WR: FI realized 2 days ago we have invited too many people for our budget. We are now at the point of considering returning excess items like the pretty bracelet I picked out for the wedding. I hate that my family is so large.

jamie5482 · April 2012

Thursday I was traveling home from a work conference and didn't get home until 1am-ish so there's no way I was able to post then!

WR: I'm sick of planning. And I feel like a brat. I invited my dad's GF to the wedding and the bridal shower even though it makes me feel a little bit sadder that my mom isn't there. I feel like a huge brat because I've been stuck helping plan the bridal shower and I am bummed that it's not a surprise. I don't know why and obviously I'm keeping my bratty thoughts to myself.

NWR: I'm feeling a brat about this too - I'm disappointed that it will be my 30th birthday and I don't get to do anything I wanted to celebrate it. FI's mom and sister will be in town for some cake convention which means we'll have to go see them and will probably end up having dinner with them and my family up where they will be instead of close to where FI and I live. I'm let down that my dad and older brother still haven't made an effort to come visit me and see our place and FI and I moved in October. I feel like such a bitch but I'm also kinda frustrated that my friend's BF is putting together this celebration for her birthday and is inviting her family and friends although it will also be my birthday that weekend. I'm sad that my mom won't even know it's my stupid birthday and she will turn 57 ten days after my birthday and she has dementia (I think this is what I'm most sad/ pissed about and it influences my attitude about all the rest of it).

Apparently I really needed to get that off my chest!
