Oh I get it. But I can't specify my FFF any more because I really don't want to hurt the person's feelings. But, it's been bothering me all week long.

[QUOTE]Remember FFF! I would like to Flame my friend who got engaged 3 months after talking to this guy and decides to get married a month before me! I know petty and Natalie said get over it, but I'm annoyed. She's been doing this stuff to me for a while. There are examples! She's a one - upper and I can't stand it.... I know it shouldn't bother me, but honestly can't help it. She's getting married on FI's birthday so I guess I'll never forget her anniversary.

<div>^ THIS! I know it may be catty but ughhhh! Three people that I know have gotten engaged after me and two of them are getting married before, and the other one has not set a date but at the rate its going, it will be before mine also. I just want to tell them to wait their turn! And one of them have been together for 7 months. UGH!</div>

My spelling pet peeve - it's y'all. Not ya'll.

As with words such as you're, we're, they're - the apostrophe goes where the letters are removed. Y'all = you all. Apostrophe goes where the 'ou' has been removed.

We got engaged after several of our friends, and married before them.....

We just didn't want a long engagement. And looking back, I could barely handle being engaged for 7 months. I can't imagine being engaged for a year or more. No thank you. All those people that say "Oh, enjoy being engaged while you can". Ok, well, I didn't "enjoy" most of the engagement any more than the dating part. After the initial "cloud 9" feeling wore off, it was stressful planning and I was ready to get the wedding over with.

Now that we're married, I finally have a sense of peace and I'm SO happy to have all of that behind us and be husband and wife. I'm enjoying this newly married phase way more than I ever enjoyed being engaged.

So, I can see why not everyone wants a long engagement.

We have not had a single supper at home this week. How sad is that?

I resent our kitchen table. DH's family keeps everything and this is one of those items that gets passed down; he is holding on to it for his mom. It is gigantic and one of DH's criteria for a house seems to be "It has to fit the kitchen table." The hell it is.

And it's not the first to the altar first wins the race. It doesn't make their marriage any better than yours or anything else. The upside is you can learn from their mistakes

When in doubt, just spell it out. :)

I have never understood the real purpose of contractions anyway. I use them, but what is the point?

Agreed, every couple is different. What works for some, may not work for others.

brooke.anne · August 2010

Yah, I can see where you are coming from and I know we are having a semi-long engagement, it is just that three of us run in the same group and have been friends since high school. And like I said, I KNOW it sounds catty and *beachy* but it's the way I feel and I can't help that. I went out with another friend from our group the other night and she agreed and said that it was like they just had to try and be the "first" and typing it out, I know it sounds really immature but apparently a lot of girls feel this way. I just know that a lot of things that I have worked so hard for a lot of our friends will see first at the other weddings that they will plan in 4 months. I know that one of them is using the same song for father daughter dance which really irks me.

OK, I will stop trying to defend myself because I know that I sound like I am like 8 years old but it bothers me and I can't help that! And even though it may not sound like it I am happy for them and wish them the best.

DFWIndian · August 2010

I know it's not who makes it first or anything. I guess it was just there were many things in our "friendship" were if I did or had something she was two steps behind me doing it first or better. This was just one of those. They had been together 3 months. Never officially bf/gf and got an Indian formal engagement done. * I know it's petty!! I know I'm stupid for feeling this way but I do* Sorry I can't help it. It's also because of this reason I put it up on a Friday

Side note: I sooooo never knew it was y'all. I always thought it was ya'll. I don't know why. I just saw it written a couple times and took to that spelling. Can I use the fact English is a second language for me?? Good to know I was doing it wrong the whole time.

The liklihood that the same guests will remember is nil. If that is the song you want, do it and don't look back. You surely aren't the first or last person to use it.

Our boss has always hogged the raises. If we are supposed get 4% across the board, she'll give us 1% and take the rest herself. Now this year and probably next, no one is getting a raise. Just found out they had extra money in the account and are giving promotions to her and the staff IT guy, who does nothing for us at all.

rcpm44 · August 2010

I agree with everyone flaming about the incorrect usage of grammar. I am an English teacher with an English Lit BA and trust me when I see mistakes that my 9th grade English as Second Language Learners know better then to make I just cringe. It's like nails on the chalkboard.

<div>I know and it is a super common, overused song, so it's really no biggie. I can just see that as the beginning point of things that will be similar to our wedding. But, nothing I can do about it so no point in being a negative Nancy about it!</div>

Here's my FFF. Something went wrong on your wedding night. Big deal. Get over it. Life goes on. It's one night of your life, you're still married and you should be able to look back and have a sense of humor and laugh about it. Not dwell on it and make it seem like it's the end of the world.

If you are talking about me, I wonder if you would have felt that way if paramedics showed up to cart someone off at your wedding... in front of your new family.. and it put an end to the night that you had been planning for so long and your entire family had invested so much in. This wasn't a situation of a vendor showing up late or the flowers being a wrong color, or the cake not getting delivered.
