Confession Thursday

minionlover · August 2012

Let's hear 'em ladies.

fjw2012 · August 2012

I confess that I should be getting ready for work right now, but instead I'm on TK lol.

[Deleted User] · August 2012

I confess that now that it's less than 2 months from the wedding I have absolutely no motivation to work on wedding related stuff. I've started taking FIs 'its still to early to do that' approach. Maybe at the month mark my motivation will come back? The next 2 weekends are busy with NWR stuff so I think that's part of it. That's usually when I set aside time for WR stuff.

lehc723 · August 2012

I confess that I am another one of the seemingly many October brides who's in a funk. I'm scared about my next fitting, worried about family drama at my shower this weekend, and bummed with some exercise goals I set for myself that I've failed to meet. And I am just sick of all the little things adding up and being stressful and really over the whole wedding planning thing.

mmmendi · August 2012

I confess ... tetanus shots HURT!!!!! I refuse to whine (out loud) today but owie!!!!

I also confess that I can't wait for my youngest to return to school tomorrow, so that we can readjust to a regular schedule

Ividian · August 2012

I confess that I have no idea what to say to a friend who just had a miscarriage. They're been trying for a while and REALLY want to be parents, but she can't conceive naturally, so they've been doing IVF and she finally got pregnant. We (FI and I) got an email last night saying she had a miscarriage and I so desperate want to do something to help them, but I don't know what. I'm sure the best thing I can do is not talk about it or mention it unless one of them do, but It's still frustrating to me. Also, apparently my shower is this weekend and she's invited, and my little sister is VERY pregnant and I'm not sure if that's going to make thing hard on her.

I'm so sorry for your friend. We had friends that miscarried after telling all of us. We went over that weekend because FI was helping her husband with the house, and although it was awkward, I just tried to be there to listen to her. I hope your friend is able to reach out for help during this difficult time. Good luck

mmmendi · August 2012

lvidian - let her know that your are there. That is a heartbreaking place to be, and can feel like a very lonely one.

Enjoy your shower!

LDubHawksFan · August 2012

I confess that I find myself more excited than I thought I would for my upcoming showers and the gifts we are receiving.

I confess that I'm a little irked that after talking to my step-siblings about how there is a kids meal for my nieces and nephews, my brother in law emailed me saying that he asked the kids what they wanted and two neices want the steak.....yeah that's a $50 difference between the plates!

cbear215 · August 2012

I confess that I had a few bridezilla moments during my first shower last weekend. There was some drama among the BMs and there was a little family drama, and I got a little stressed and snappy. Nothing too major, just some not so gracious moments. I figured I learned a lesson for shower #2 and the wedding day.

samanthaeisner · August 2012

I have multiple....

I am over wedding planning. Over worrying about details. Over my FMIL trying to steal our day and control everything, when she isn't paying for any of it. My parents are paying for the majority and haven't made one request beyond who is invited. I want October 13 to be here so it can just be me and FI with nothing to worry about but us.

I am very lazy today. I need to go to the teacher's store and buy bulletin board paper so I can set up my classroom soon, but I'm not ready to admit I have to go back to work in 3 weeks. I also need to go to a restaurant to go to get info for the rehearsal dinner, but I don't even want one anymore. I also need to go get allergy shots today, but my bed is just so comfy and there's a Laguna Beach marathon on MTV right now...

ivedonethisb4 · August 2012

I confess that my workplace does NOT know how a bridal shower works. A fellow agent is getting married the 25th so we were supposed to have a shower for her tuesday..ok we all brought gifts and food..but no one got to see her open them..no one knows what she got. The least they could have done was let us go in groups and point out which one was ours to let her open it then...I work in a call center. We all had to wait for our break to even grab a bite..what kinda shower is that!? I don't even want one if that's how its going to be!

NRod70 · August 2012

I confess that if school doesn't start soon, I am going to snap my soon-to-be-step-son's little neck. C'mon September 5th!

I am also worried about my dress fitting and the rest of the ''little'' details that I am still trying to work out.

trawas01 · August 2012

I confess that it pains me to know how much money will be leaving our savings account in a few weeks to pay for this fiasco.

I want a baby. More then I want this wedding anymore and if we didn't pay for said wedding we'd be a lot closer to being ready to have one. We feel married, we act married, the only thing that will change is we'll be legally married and you know, 10K poorer. Ugh.

emswanson613 · August 2012

My shower is this weekend, and honestly, I'm more nervous than excited. I hate being the center of attention.

mpjf1001 · August 2012

I confess my bachelorette party is this weekend and while im excited im annoyed at my sister (MOH) bc she didnt tell people soon enough so only 5 people in total are going including her and I and it sucks. I understand that not everyone has to drop what they are doing, but everyone Ive asked why they cant come (bc it has come up in conversation) they have all said bc they didnt have enough notice....argh!! i went above and beyond for her bachelorette party so im just annoyed!!

SharEtoBe · August 2012

I confess that I have just about had it with my caterer. He is a friend who owns a restaurant which takes priority (I totally get that.) However, we need to meet to finalize some really important details and he keeps changing our appointment. We are less then 2 months out and I need him to step up and do what he needs to do. He and my FI (who are great friends) are very nonchalant about the whole thing. They keep telling me this is like a giant dinner party and it will be fine. NO, IT IS NOT A GIANT DINNER PARTY, IT IS MY WEDDING. THE ONLY WEDDING I PLAN TO HAVE! Ok, sorry about the yelling. I seem to have some anger lol.

Mine was last weekend. I felt the same way. It goes so quick you won't even realize it.

insanityofamom · August 2012

I confess that none of our families knows about the wedding date yet, when they get the invitation it will be a complete surprise!!

I confess I kind of flipped out on my FI yesterday. He works a strange schedule at the moment, and this weekend and yesterday after he finished what he was doing he went into the bedroom to play on his phone. We have two toddlers. I was in the middle of trying to make phone calls and such for the wedding ( see my post "Trying to find Reception venue") I might have said something to the effect of: "Just stay out of my way and take care of the kids"

Agreed with this, and then you'll wish you had relaxed and enjoyed it a little more (or at least that's how I felt).

Posted by trawas01[/QUOTE]

I feel the same way. I'm dropping about 25k on the wedding of our dreams. I almost just want to elope. I get sooooo excited after every "accept" RSVP we get that FI and I call it out like it's the lottery...YAY! it's fun...but then a secondary feeling rushes in and I hear the sound of "cha-ching" dollar signs falling out of my wallet...then it's a big "sigh."

We do this too except we get excited for every "decline" RSVP lol. I know that sounds bad, but these are people we really don't know but had to invite b/c they are (long lost) family. Luckily, they feel the same way about us (and they are OOT). So each time one of them declines we think - one less chair, one less plate, one less glass, eventually one less table. Which means less $$$!!

ashhernandez · August 2012

I confess that I want my step brother's invitation to be lost in the mail. =\

Oh! And I must confess that I am beyond annoyed that my 19 year old sister got engaged last week and is now wanting everyone to be on board for her wedding when she--the maid of honor-- hasn't done a single thing for my wedding. And oh yeah, no one approves of her getting married so young & to someone who she hasn't been with that long!

(Can you tell I'm slightly annoyed?!)

Poppy101212 · August 2012

I confess that I was fairly excited to find out that FBIL and his girlfriend have broken up (again). She is such a jerk!

tracey525 · August 2012

I confess that I have been complaining too much about family drama related to this wedding. (It should stay behind closed doors - not everyone needs to know about every argument I've had with my mother...)

Specifically, the one about the handkerchief... My FI's grandma offered me her wedding handkerchief as a "something borrowed", which I thought was sweet. She has almost all grandsons and has never offered this to any of their fiances, so I felt special! Then I told my mom, who burst into tears about how she has not one, but THREE for me to choose from, which I didn't know about. I told her sorry, I didn't know, etc. to calm her down, but secretly, I think I'm going to ask my florist to fold them together to wrap around my bouquet. I like both, and isn't the day about two families coming together?! If that won't work, I'll just carry one in my purse or something. Seriously, who is going to know?

reagane02 · August 2012

WR: i confess that I am also in a funk with wedding planning and wedding related stuff. Everytime my FI wants to sit down and go over what we have left, I turn into a complete B***h just so we don't have to talk about it anymore.

NWR: I'm in traning right now for a new skill set at work (I currently do domestic wire transfers and being tranined to do international) and suddenly I feel like one of the smartest people on earth. It blows my mind how some of these people were "selected" if they are still having trouble with the old skill set.

jessiflower · August 2012

I confess that I'm bummed about my upcoming birthday (sat) and no real plans in sight unless I make them....I'm bummed that no one is throwing me a shower....I'm bummed that my invitations are not done yet....I'm bummed that FI went back to work today with the knee...and although its been doing really well since the cortisone shot, it swelled up and he is in pain again after only 6 hours at work...and is back at home now.....I'm having a hard time at work because Im distracted (see...I should be working, not reading all these posts) and I'm having dreams now....wierd nasty dreams...like last night when my boss asked me what the hell I had been doing for the past two weeks and then told me he was retiring and this woman that hates me took his place...scary dreams suck.....anyway....yeah.....

lv2011 · August 2012

I confess that I'm secretly hoping that 1/3 of our guests rsvp "no'. Not because I don't like them, or because we can't afford it, or we don't have the space. I just don't want to deal with that many people and there's no way around it.

pengy16 · August 2012

Im down to two vendors left to book the officiant and hair/makeup. The officiant I am pretty sure who I want to book, but the hair/makeup is frustrating me. Its a small wedding and it will only be myself getting hair/makeup done the day of. Well I have been trying all the different hair/makeup groups in my area and so far either 1. they dont respond, 2. tell me I dont have enough people getting hair/makeup, or they double the costs to get just my hair/makeup. I finally found one that I liked and wanted to scheduled a trial (I have sensitive skin and I dont typically wear makeup I want to make sure I wont break out or start itching on the day of.) now they have dropped off the face of the earth. I am not asking for a free trial, I know it will cost me so I just want to find out the exact costs and to schedule a day for the trial. I'm starting to look into day spas/salons to get it done now but they are just ask expensive as the ones where I would pay extra just to have them come to me with the up charge, or they are another hour north of my venue (I would have to go out of my way to go there). I thought hair/makeup would be my easiest vendor to book but now its looking like the hardest!

nataliet02 · August 2012

I confess that I made up with my sister (who was my MOH but bailed on me) just to make my mom get off my back. I don't forgive her and no we will never be the same. I also confess that I hope she doesn't show up to my shower or my wedding.
