Vent here!

Dear Everyone
,
Stop making me feel like a burden. It's getting old. If you OFFER to help with the wedding and DEMAND to help, then help.

Aunt, don't wait until the last minute and then say "oh hey.. turns out I actually can't pay 1,200 for rentals for you so... you need to take care of that." oh. ok. thanks. Couldn't this have been said 6 months ago when I refused to let you pay for that and you demanded to help in that way? Yeah. Also, you were supposed to be this great wedding planner for me because you know what you are doing, but then you take on too much with everyone else's crap and now any time I have ONE question to ask you, you get annoyed with me like I'm this huge PITA. Seriously? I'm calling to ask about the morning of timeline because I can't make my hair/makeup appointments without knowing that. I'm tired of getting "oh well after cousins C's party Ill be more available...oh after my friends wedding I'm helping coordinate Ill be more available... after....." Why did you offer to help again? I give up.

Also, MIL don't say that you are here to help us with everything and anything, take 3 months to get back to a single e-mail to say "oh yeah sorry, um... jane doe can do that for you. she will email you when she gets a chance" really? Yeah. I'm glad we aren't doing they wedding down there anymore because OBVIOUSLY that would have been a HUGE failure, as you can't get back to me with a single answer to the easiest questions EVER. Also, stop trying to wear ivory to the wedding. I won't say anything, but your son has todl you countless times that he doesn't want you to. listen to your son and what he wants on his wedding day.

Also, Mom. Thanks for deciding not so come up for my birthday to try on wedding dresses with me. I only waited on that for 3 months because you said you would come up, then don't because a dog show was more important. Yeah... wasn't that supposed to be my birthday gift that you wold come up, considering I haven't had a christmas or birthday gift or CARD from you in the past 4 years, I guess I shouldn't have been so suprised. nevermind that you haven't even MET my fiance' because you have been blowing thousands of dollars on dog show stuff instead of a 150 dollar plane ticket to come say hi. Don't mind us.. He's just your future son-in-law that you can add to your "I'll love you when it's convenient" list.

Step mom, I'm sick of hearing about how GLAMOUROUS your daughters wedding is going to be. It's cute tha you decided to move her wedding from next spring to 3 weeks after my wedding, just so you can one up everything I do, but I really down your hot pink bubble gum wal-mart wedding will be that great. Do I care that it's so close to mine? Only out of principle, because I knwo you did it to TRY to get under my skin, but really it's just sad, since none of the family has to choose between the two weddings, as dad's side WILL be going to mine, and WON'T be going to hers. Nice try though.

yyyyup. I miiiiight be having my wedding melt down this week. -_-

firsttimersluck - you need a drink!!!! I do too. Bellingham Knottie GTG? ha!

Hokay, here I go.

Dear Wedding,

Could you please move yourself back another month or two? I have way to much to accomplish in these 11 days and I'm about to lose my mind for the first time in this entire process.

Also, house? I love you and all, but it'd be great if you could clean yourself. I don't have time to be cleaning every single room in you from ceiling to floor just because my future mother in law and other random out of towners are going to be here. FI, you need to pay attention to this part to as it is also your mess i'm constantly cleaning up, as well as the dogs. Learn how to use a vaccuum and put dishes in the dishwasher.

Doesn't that feel better to just let it out though? Just to say f you all and move on. Just keep the mantra through your head that this is all about how much you and FI love each other and a celebration of that. Everyone else can screw themselves if they don't want to be a part of that. You're wedding will rock with or without them!

@firsttimersluck-
I wish I could just give you a hug right now. I'm sorry

sofiabrian · July 2011

sparent2010 · July 2011

For Firsttimers- hope your day gets better this made me laugh...

Frogger5 · July 2011

Dear potential guests - I was so excited when your first RSVPs started coming in just a few days after we sent them out. They have been trickeling in consistently ever since, but there are still almost 40 (out of 120) still not returned! Please, people, check the appropriate line and put the pre-paid postage-stamped card in the mail! If you don't want to come for whatever reason, that's fine, just let me know. I don't want to call a quarter of my guest list just to get a head count, don't you understand?!?!

firsttimersluck · July 2011

aww frogger I'm sorry.. Such a PITA.. When's your deadline?

jales - yes please? haha :]

Thanks ladies

I definitely just took advantage of the open letter tuesday />_< hah...

Even better, a surprise I was doing for my fiance was to get this picture from his mom of his grandparents on their wedding day and use it as our cake topper to honor them (his grandfather died while he was deployed last year but he didn't want some sad little memorial at the wedding). So she texted FI yesterday while we were in the movie saying "I'm so sorry I haven't gotten your grandparents picture to her yet for your cake topper!"
"um.. mom.. I think that was suppose to be a suprise"
"omg! I'm so sorry! Don't tell her I told you I forgot!"
"um... she's sitting next to me and read that.. "

*sigh*

Sparent - omg, hilarious.
