I'm back...with a rant...

in June 2013 Weddings
Hey ladies (and gents)! I can't stay away. This place has helped me more that it has hurt me. Trying to figure this wedding out on my own is actually kinda hard. So for now, I'm back.

Anyways to the point. I get on Facebook this morning only to find out that the girl I completely hated in high school has announced her wedding date...for June 29, 2013...that's my day. We live in the same town, have most of the same friends and apparently the same venue in mind. I can't book until my FI see's this place...he has had zero interest in the planning process until now aparently. So I can't hurry and book it before they do.

I know it sounds crazy but seriously, this girl hated me in high school...and I hated her too. Its common knowledge that I had picked that date. It was also made known through a BM that I loved that venue...which leads me to almost beleive that she did it out of spite and knowing her, I seriously wouldn't doubt it.

We have practically the same circle of friends. The guy who was supposed to play guitar at my wedding, is best friends with her FI so I know he is going to want to go to thiers since he will probably be in thiers.

I want my June wedding so bad. And the 29th means alot to us. But I want it to be my day. I don't want it to be compared to hers. I don't want to have to compete for a venue or for our guests. I don't really even want our guests to have to pick which wedding to attend.

In other news, I changed colors for the last and final time. Champagne/Golden, Blush Pink, and Ivory.

    That's terrible! I agree with PP try to get your FI on board and try to book your venue ASAP! If that's not possible are there any other days that mean a lot to you in June? Honestly I think no matter what day you get married it will become a "special" day!

    It gets on my nerves (probably because I can't stand her anyway) that she is picking the same things as me...but then again I have been looking for an excuse to bump up the wedding...maybe this is my excuse :) I would be thrilled if FI would let me bump it up to next April or May...I keep telling him how hot it's going to be having an outside wedding in June...basically just exaggerating every possible bad thing that can happen due to heat..."Grandma will have a heat stroke! Do you want Grandma to have a heat stroke? She is old...Old people can't handle the heat!" lol

    FI thinks I'm crazy. I txt him basically a whole book ranting about it. And actually cracked myself up after I sent it because I started with, "So this bitch I graduated with..." And then I remembered this thing I saw on Pinterest that was like, "You know it's going to be a great story when it starts off 'So this bitch'."

    ETA: I called the venue. She said I don't have to pay until the week of. And it's just $75 for the whole day...so I'm booking. If FI doesn't like it then I can just cancel. She's not taking my venue :)

    Way to take the reins girl! Haha, now, book all the other vendors that are big in your town ASAP as well or she will certainly try to hoard them as well.

    Hopefully you will get the venue. We had to pass up on our dream ceremony spot because someone else got it before us :( But now we are getting married at this beautiful park. It has a damn.

    Yay, you're back! We missed you!

    Good job and scooping up the venue. I agree with getting a jump on the other vendors too, just in case there is some cross over. I'd also call your guitar playing buddy and double check that he is definitely in, since he made the obligation to you first. I'd be furious if some bitch I didn't get along with in high school tried to swipe my date after I'd already made it public knowledge. As much as being the bigger person is important (to me at least), in this case I'd stoop, haha. I'd be livid if some rotten old broad I went to high school with tried to swindle my wedding date.

    Sugar, glad you're back!  Good idea grabbing the venue, worst case scenario you are out $75 but in the grand scheme of things, it could be much worse than that.  I always play dumb when it comes to these things, act like you didn't know and were just moving right along (which you are, you had already planned on that date anyways).  It's not your fault she is being weird about it, so just don't let it affect you.

    Thanks ladies. I've kinda calmed down about it since I booked the venue. I was just worried that she would get to it before I did...I still can't stand her though.

    As for my guitar playing friend, he is extremely close to her FI. I know other people who play the guitar just as well so I will probably tell him if he wants to go to hers he's more than welcome to. He is my friend and I just don't think I could be the bitch that wouldn't let him out of the deal. Her FI would probably want him in their wedding anyway. I'm chill with it now...well not really. It still kinda irks me that she would pick that date out of the other 364 days.
