jessiflower · September 2012

I confess that I have been awesome at losing weight for the wedding until my dad passed away in May...I have gained 14lbs since and am having a hard time getting it off.....tried the dress on and my MOH said...if you loose about 5lbs before the wedding youll be great! I have gained 4 since......IM WORRIED.....I can't work out because of my hip and the doc said NO WORKING OUT for 2 weeks...Im just stressed about it and haven't said anything to anyone as I closet eat my stress away....I feel like Im sabotaging myself and dont know how to stop..whats wrong with me.........there.......CONFESSED.....

trawas01 · September 2012

I'm getting beyond stressed about the wedding. Ours is OOT for all of our guests and I'm getting overwhelmed with people getting in touch with me to discuss their travel plans, complain about flights etc.

I'm done. I'm so so done. Its like people have never traveled before? I really want to tell them all to just go away and figure it out themselves becuase I do not have the time to play travel agent ot all 100 guests.

Ugh.

Me too! This has been fun and all, but I'm over it. Just want to start my life with my future hubby.

Totally this.

I'm also annoyed with the people I see at work who are like, "Ooops! I forgot to mail my RSVP! Sorry!" The deadline is tomorrow. You received your invitation A MONTH AGO. Grrrrrrrr. Also, people who hint at wanting an invitation? I ran into an acquaintance of FI the other day. We chatted for a bit and I asked if he had anything exciting to do that weekend. He mentioned he was going to a friend's wedding, then added, "I guess yours will be the next one on the list to go to! I better get my suit dry cleaned!". I had no idea how to respond so I asked about the friend's wedding.

Also, as previously posted, Murphy's Law is totally kicking my butt today. Only 15 more minutes until lunch. Hooray!

LDubHawksFan · September 2012

I'm totally overwhelmed. My weekend has started filling up and I just want to do nothing!

We got my wedding band the other day, and it's larger than my e-ring, so now I have to go meet with the designer. It's beautiful, but I'm shocked at how much FI paid for it. Also, it's terrible of me, but I almost like my ring better without it! haha I'm a symmetrical person though.

Confession #1 - I'm wear my wedding shoes around the office to cheer me up

Confession #2 - I want to throat punch all the non- RSVPer. And a chair in the face to all the people I went out of my way for their weddings (moving vacations, travel, etc) that aren't coming... or "still figuring it out" Well you have until Monday or I'm putting you down as NO. Many of these are OOTer and my hotel block expired 1 Sept - have fun find a room because there's a dog show and every one jacked their prices up! / rant

I'm glad it's not me.

amandaorgan · September 2012

I am fed up with my FSIL. Her and her husband have been slowly alienating themselves from FI's family for quite a few months now and it is really obvious and awkward for everyone. Bachelorette party was hosted by "the bridesmaids" and two friends paid for everything with the agreement that they would all split it. Now FSIL is bitching about paying to FMIL AND FI. WTF.

On top of that, my shower is this Sunday at her house. I would understand her not wanting to split bach party costs if she was doing everything for this - but she isn't. I know for a fact that she has delegated at least 1/2 to FMIL, desserts to my mom, other things to the two bridesmaids that are still waiting to be paid for bach party stuff, and (here is the best part) to my MOH that is traveling from Vegas to STL and then driving with family to a wedding 3 hours away on Saturday and driving back on Sunday moring to make the shower (she asked if we could plan the shower this Sunday so she could attend - no brainer). MOH was like, well I am going to be traveling I can just give you some money to off set cost - nope she was still instructed to bring X Y and Z.

THANKFULLY my mom told MOH that she would be happy to pick up whatever she was asked (aka told) to bring. I know there is more that goes into a shower than food and drinks, etc...but i cant help but wonder what exactly SHE is doing. I know that I dont have the right to a shower just because I am the bride - I wouldn't be upset if I didn't have one. My problem is that she is causing strain on my relationships with others because of her actions. She OFFERED to host the shower - there are others that have told me they would have loved to do it.

I don't know what to do or if there is even anything I can do. I really just want everything wedding related to go smoothly. I know we need to have a sit down, I just don't want to start an uprising right now with ALL of the other stress (WR and NWR) going on right now.

Hair and makeup trial was supposed to be on Monday - that was a big effing bust. The girls never showed and still have not tried to contact me about it. I have contact a few others in the area, but everyone is booked. One month out from DDay and no hair and makeup.

We are trying to sell out house in Springfield, MO while living in STL. We can't afford rent or another mortage while we still have this damn house so we have been living with our parents for months now. This house is the thorn in my side that just won't go away. The only calls I get from our relator is to tell us something is wrong. The latest? The big storms that went through the area last week UPROOTED a giant tree in our back yard and it fell right on top of all of the power lines. Could it have fell on top of our house so it would just be demolished and we wouldnt have to worry about it?? NOPE. It fell right in the middle of the yard. Of course, the utility company will take care of the lines, but guess who has to get the giant tree out of their yard? This girl.

Probably the longest confession/rant ever. I'm sure no one will read the whole thing but it feels good to get some of this off of my chest!

ccarrion77 · September 2012

I confess that I'm losing my excitement for the wedding. I'm so tired of the planning, I just want the day to be here and not have to spend every night dealing with stuff. It's hard b/c my family lives 2 hours away, all of my WP is at least 2 hours away and my FI is in the Air Force (stuck in New Mexico for the time being) so I feel like everything is on me, can't some one else help me with ANY of this stuff... I was so excited even up to a few weeks ago, now I'm just annoyed at all of it, and I really miss being excited. I hope that feeling comes back soon.

snuff9861 · September 2012

NWR: Today is my first clinical placement of 2nd year and I'm hella nervous. It's going to be the longest 6 hours of my life

WR: RSVPs are seriously lacking. They have 9 days and we are still waiting on 70 people. One of FI's friends said they weren't sure if they could make it as they havent been able to find a sitter! UMM a) we invited your kids and b) you've had your invitation since JULY! If you knew you didn't want to bring the kidlets, you've had a buttload of time to find a sitter. I really hate people.

AllieHysh19 · September 2012

M FMIL is driving me CRAZY! My to do list is like a mile long, and as soon as I decide on something, or make a decision, she argues with me until she is blue in the face. I don't have time for this S**T! Our favors include plantable sunflower seeds (which I bought in bulk for $30 for the whole bag) and she is trying to get me to order some pre-packaged thing that will take 4 weeks to get here (we are 5 weeks out....) and they cost $250!!! I don't see how this makes sense! I can package my own seeds thank you very much. Besides, its October. By the time it comes around to plant them, most people will have forgotten about them.

THIS!

Two of FI's cousin's have added guests . . . ok fine you're in a relationship, you get to bring your other half. Of course we didn't know that they were dating anyone because we don't even know them. In fact, we don't know anyone from FI's extended family because they live far away and hardly like each other. But we HAD to invite them.

One of FI's Aunts added a person. Not a husband, not a boyfriend, not a date, but some random lady she's friends with that is going to ride here with her.

FMIL got upset that said Aunt wasn't invited to rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. So, now guess who's invited . . . again, even though I've never met her and FI hardly knows her.

Future brother-in-law asked if his wife's mother (who we invited to the wedding not because we wanted to but because FIL's asked us too) could come to rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. This lady is not even our actual family. WHAT THE HELL?!?!

Another of FI's Aunts and one of FI's Uncles can't make up their minds whether they're coming or not. Our RSVP deadline was yesterday. I picked the date for a reason people. You got a STD back in DECEMBER. Give me an answer by Sunday night (we see our caterer Monday) or you are a NOOOOOO!

I confess that I am so frick frackin' sick and tired of going out of my way to make all of these people happy and they are being a-holes! (By the way FI is pissed at them too.)

bbair89 · September 2012

Whoo. I think we're all to that point where we are done, done, and done. I too am losing excitement, am stressed out (how is there still SO MUCH to do?), getting ragey at the non-RSVPers, and am cranky cranky cranky with my FIs lack of involvement.

And then there's other things with family dramas. On both sides. But I will spare you. Going into that may just set me off the deep end.

CFM102012 · September 2012

I confess that last night while I was making dinner, I broke into my stack of shower gifts and used some of them. Nothing big, cooking utensils and a rotating holder and the set of colanders my mom gave me. I figure Fi have been together so long, I highly doubt either of us is going to call it off. But I also realize stranger things have happened so I didn't get into anything expensive that we couldn't replace. I did have to text my mom and have her tell me it was okay though lol

RSVPs

thats all i have to say, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

catwine · September 2012

i've been really calm during our whole process of buying a home. my fiance was nervous and unsure but i was okay with everything. now I"M TERRIFIED! we close in 2 weeks and almost nothing has been done on the paperwork side. nobody told me that my mortgage broker needed all our financial stuff before the lawyer can do anything. its frustrating becuase i thought someone would have told us we need to get moving and submit everything, but noooo. now i'm worried we won't have everything done in time and the process will be dragged out.

i also confess that i'm annoyed that my fiance isn't doing anything...i just took it upon myself to do al the paperwork, calling of people etc for the house and stuff because i knew i'd have to help him with EVERYTHING anyways.
ugh.

mbuckley85 · September 2012

Confession #1: I lost it with my FI yesterday and told him I can't stand his mother. I'm so tired of her controlling/overbearing personality. The latest news from her is that she wants the list of who hasn't rsvp'ed from "her side" so that she can start calling them. I told FI that I absolutely will not give out that list until the weekend at the earliest since our deadline is Friday. I won't have her being rude and calling people before the deadline, even if it is just people from "her side".

Confession #2: I really can't wait to just get all the BS over with. I can't wait until the day of the wedding when I can finally relax. I am constantly worrying that I'm forgetting something really important. FI doesn't get it at all and has been less than helpful...

goatlady12 · September 2012

I confess that I am sick of FIs beard! He is going through some rebellion right now and refuses to shave his face until the wedding. It doesn't really bother me to look at but, the way he trims the mustache makes the hair really pokey. I've felt like I'm kissing a hedgehog for the past month. I'm about to shave it in his sleep. I can't stand it anymore!!!

violakat03 · September 2012

Confession #1 - I still have invitations to send. FMIL took her sweet time getting me addresses of people that she and FI think we *have* to invite. My opinion all along is that if we can't find their address then they aren't close enough to invite. I ran out of supplies to make invitations and haven't felt motivated enough to go get them. I'm really thining of just *not* inviting these people .... it's a total of about 20 people. It would make my life easier, keep it from looking like we B-listed, and, well, I have to admit, it would be my form of protest for it taking 2 months to get addresses to me.

Confession #2 - I'm nervous about our photographer. He's a friend of mine and FI's and I've always really respected his photography, but he is not a professional by trade. He makes mirrors for telescopes (like, his mirrors are in many observatories, professional astronomers' telescopes, etc) and takes photos as a hobby. However, he's only ever shot one wedding before. I've seen the pics and I like them, but you can tell he's not a "wedding" photographer and isn't necessarily used to photographing people. As a photography student, my standards have become increasingly higher and I'm honestly worried that I'm not going to end up liking our photos. I keep telling myself to get over it because he's doing our photos for cheaper than we could ever get a true professional for.

Confession #3 - I'm ready to just be married and on my honeymoon.

Posted by Seipel12[/QUOTE]

Have faith, Seipel! My FI had grown out his hair for a year and a half. It was to his shoulders. Now, I have nothing against long/short hair on a girl/guy. WHATEVER. It just didn't suit him. I tried telling him, gently that I didn't like it. He didn't care. His mother, father, my mother, father, his cousin (best man) and frinds all said, CUT IT. He didn't. Then, one day, about three weeks ago, I came home and BOOM! Short hair again.

He will probably realize how much it bugsyou and shave the sucker off.

My FI was Active Duty Army for 10 years... he got out April and refuses to shave or cut anything. He's been threatening mullet, mohark... aspiring to be like the Duck Dynasty guys (below is a pic if you don't know what i'm talking). I'm like fine! Whatever... week before the wedding I WILL be with you at the barber! I don't mind the beard, all my family has facial hair, but it will be trimmed!
