Military Brides

Is anyone...

Sooo...is anyone of you ladies dealing with another family member being engaged right now too, and that the 2nd bride to be is trying to make wedding planning competitive.  My FH and I have been engaged for awhile and will be married in June.  His little brother a few months ago got engaged.  We are, for real, very happy for them....BUT this bride is like bridezella lately and just feels like she is trying to compete or something.  I am trying to ignore it but at the same time just makes me tired ya know...

    Yeah, my cousin did the same. Just know that her wedding and your wedding will not be wedding twins no matter WHAT she tries to copy from you. Remember, she's trying to copy YOU, which says you're the one with the good ideas, so she can't possibly get in your head and do it the way you are without actually, you know, getting in your head.  Don't even worry about it. Just be the better bride, the cool, relaxed bride. The end result will be something YOU enjoyed while she will probably be complaining about everything not being perfect on "her special day".
  • Thanks you all.  You ladies rock :)

  • My friend does that - she got married last year and has offered her opinions on what I should and shouldn't do very loudly.  I just stopped talking weddings with her, would always change the subject, and wouldn't give her any information about my wedding - a vague, "Oh, I don't know yet.  We have so much time to figure it out."  Or "My Mom's taking care of that, I really don't care."   It deflates the conversation, and at least prevents copying or competition, even if they continue offering their opinions on everything!

    I have another friend who had the most amazing wedding, and she obviously put a LOT of work and thought into it, but throughout the planning process she was very closed-lipped and didn't say much.  That way it was a great surprise for everyone, and she was like the anti-bridezilla since it seemed so effortless for her (even though it clearly was not).
