Morning ladies!!

Confessions? Vents? Let's hear 'em!!

rmp4996 · June 2012

Confession: My FMIL hasn't shown all that much interest in the wedding. I mean she will say something if I talk to her about it, but that's really it. And honestly, I'd rather keep it that way. My mom and dad are paying for the whole reception (I'm my mom's only child and she's been saving for this forever) and she is very much like "I'm paying so I get more say in things" so it keeps things easier if I don't have other opinions.

Vent: Kind of a silly one, but I showed FMIL my dress. She loved it, I told her it was a light ivory, and I know she heard me because we had a whole discussion about how I don't think I want yellow dresses anymore because of it. Then the other day, she asked FI what he planned to wear. He said they'd all be in black tuxes, and she said "Black?" (like picture it in an annoying, questioning tone" "but it's summer." So I said well what were you picturing? She said "I thought maybe gray." When I think gray, I think suit. He isn't going to wear a suit because we want it to feel more formal, it's in a ballroom. So she says....."how about white." WHITE!?!? My dress is ivory, we will look so stupid next to eachother not matching, and plus I'll look more like a dirty white than an ivory. Sometimes she really just doesn't think. I love her, and she is FAR from a monster-in-law, but c'mon, she puts no thought or effort into anything. And this whole white tux thing, while like I said it's minor, is a prime example of how she just goes about doing whatever she wants. She can also be a little shady, and she is cutting all these family members from Upstate off the invites, which is fine with me since we never see them anyway and it keeps us from going over, but guarentee when there is a fallout over this, I"LL be the one who gets blamed, that my parents were paying and we had to cut the list down so we picked them. I'll keep you posted on that.

Edit: I wrote hole instead of whole, and had to fix it. One of the most annoying things to me is when people use the wrong words, like hole instead of whole, or the wrong there/their/ and so on. You'd think I was an English teacher, but I just hate it and I feel like people look down on me if I make mistakes like that.

Conf and vent in one: I wish the FI would be okay with just going away to get married!

bar10521 · June 2012

Confession: I snapped at FI last night over nothing. We were talking about where to go/what to get for dinner since it was too hot in our apt to cook and everything I said he kept shooting down. So finally we decided I would get thai and he would get mexican, The mexican place is literally on our way home from the thai place, then come home and watch a movie. That way we would each get what we wanted. Then he decided that he wasn't sure he wanted to do that and asked what I was going to originally suggest before he shot things down and I said pizza. He then decided he wanted pizza and I lost it and told him to just order whatever he wanted from wherever because I was sick of going in circles. His indecisiveness lasted, and I'm being honest here no exaggerations, over an hour. He said he was just being too lazy to drive for 10 minutes to pick up food and wanted to just get delivery.

Vent: I'm annoyed that TK keeps eating everything!! Seriously this has got to stop.

emilyb213 · June 2012

Confession: I wish we would have eloped, like we originally talked about doing. We decided not to because my dad and his mom would never get over it. And now we're too far in to putting down deposits and stuff...*le sigh*.

Vent: I absolutely adore my friend (and bridesmaid) L., but trying to be supportive of her relationship drama is making me nuts. She's very sweet, cute, gainfully employed, etc., but she is so neurotic when it comes to dating. She dated a guy on and off for a couple years who treated her very poorly, and it totally screwed her up. Now, with every guy she starts seeing, one of two things happen: She takes the "don't wait around for him to call you, you pick up the phone and call him" attitude to the extreme and pursues guys who aren't interested in her (I keep gently hinting that she should read the book "He's Just Not That Into You"), or, if they do show an interest in her, she decides they're just going to screw her over in the long run, so she pushes them away. I try to be supportive, but sometimes, it's exhausting, watching her go through the same thing over and over and then being there for her in the aftermath.

blferguson1s · June 2012

Confession: I'm super proud of FI for standing up to his mother and pretty well telling her that her opinion doesn't matter on some things in our lives. I've kept quiet about it to try to keep the peace, but on the inside, I was sticking my tongue out at her and feeling pretty victorious.

Vent: FI and my dad are going to an NRA dinner tonight so my mom and I were planning on going to dinner and shopping. We found out this morning that people are coming to buy fish tonight instead of this afternoon like we thought. So now we can't go shopping and have to deal with slimy, gross fish tonight instead. Ugh!

sparkles776 · June 2012

Mrsk my FI is the same way. He doesn't mind if I go out with friends but I think secretly he wants to come and when I leave he always says Don't talk to any boys! My FMIL also doesn't show that much interest in the wedding and they are helping pay. She basically just told us do whatever makes us happy, but I would really appreciate an opinion sometimes. Vent: It is supposed to rain here today and I really hope it does. Our lawn looks disgusting and all my flowers are dying : Confession: I am totally jealous of everyone's ring sig pictures. Earlier in the month I seriously tried for like 2 hours, my picture just kept coming up gigantic. I am horrible with this kind of stuff lol.

NikishaMcFall · June 2012

Confession: FI and I aren't engaged yet. We've been together for five and half years, and we're both planning this wedding (I'm not one of the crazy women who start planning before the guy has had time to even think about it). We both sat down one night and discussed what we wanted for the future and agreed that we wanted to get married. When he told me the timeline for that (wanting to get married next year), I told him that meant we had to start planning. So that's what we're doing, and he's going to make it "official" in the next couple of weeks. However, it doesn't make it less real to me that we're getting married. Which leads me to my vent...

Vent: It apparently does make it less real to others, particularly my sister. I mentioned yesterday that every time I bring up anything wedding related, she gets super negative. I showed her my dress and her first response was "Well, that's totally inappropriate for a backyard wedding, isn't it?" When I showed her the pattern and material I was considering for the BM dresses she said "I am not wearing a v-neck. And that material is just awful." I know that I need to put on my big girl panties and get over it, but we used to be so close. I feel like I've lost my best friend with the way she's been treating me recently.

MrsKaiser: I’m glad you got your sexy time Sparkles: did you try adjusting the size where the "180" number is?

Miss Esa · June 2012

I only have a vent today: My SO is selling his car (that he LOVES) to pay for our wedding. I keep telling him that we don't have to and then we can cut corners and keep the cost down, but he wants us to "have a nice wedding and honeymoon." I love the car almost as much as he does, and I drive it everyday. He wants to trade it in for a Honda Civic, or late 90s foxbody Mustang, and I don't really like either of those.
I think I'll miss the car more then he will...

ashbeth06 · June 2012

Mrs K you made me giggle! Not TMI to me at all. It reminded me of the drunken "sexy" talks after 1 am with my friend who gets married Saturday and her friends at her bachlorette party. I remember having to do that when I lived at my parents!

Confession: I really haven't been as motivated the last two weeks to continue getting my vendors. (just flowers and cake left) I had more motivation to rearrange doctors appointments around my new job that starts in August over calling possible vendors. Gotta get moving on those so I am not looking for vendors when I start the new job.

Also, my poor FI has been dealing with major pms from me this week. He woke me up at 5 am and asked if I wanted to make out..I rolled over and threw one arm over him and went back to sleep (I barely remember this!) and then I said something bitchy to him before we went to bed the same night..I can't remember it right now. He's a trooper! Today's our 45 month dating anniversary and we always try to do something nice on the monthly anniversary so I'm making him a special dinner not just a pinterest recipe to try on him. Haha. Maybe even treat him to our new hometown's Summer Fest Brew Fest tonight. We'll see how tired golfing with the business banking department tires him out!

Vent: One of my BM and I have mostly had a long distance friendship the last four years. We met because of an ex and she lived in the town I went to community college so we hung out a lot in the beginning. Then I transferred to a school over an hour from her and I don't get to her town that often unless I'm going to the eye doctor. The last time I saw her she was on a break with her bf of four years (bridal gown shopping). Then a week later they broke up. We really haven't talked much since then. I tried to arrange a dinner date (we used to do lunches but now I work during her lunch time) and she said she'd get back to me, but never did. I didn't even push trying to make her choose a date or time. I feel like I'm the only one making effort, even though she did drive out to my parents place for the very first time the day we went bridal shopping and that surprised me! I know she's going through a rough time and I just wanted to make girl time. I think I'm going to try again for when I'm home on my week off between Summer School sessions, but am definitely afraid of being disappointed again.

sopraffina · June 2012

Vent: I took tomorrow off of work because of my sister's wedding on Saturday. I usually work until 7pm, so I knew that I would need time for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, among other things. I've offered to help my sister with anything. She told my mother to tell everyone that she's not taking phone calls. She has a list of things she wants done, and she'll do them herself. That's fine, but I've felt really left out throughout this whole time. My dad offered to pay for a limo so she could have a bachelorette party, and she said she didn't want it.

My mother also said that we might not be getting our makeup done because she just had her trial this week (!) and she didn't like it.

Did I mention she hasn't picked up her marriage license yet? She applied for it already, which is good because there's a 3 day waiting period here. For some reason, she's waiting until the last minute to pick it up.

Confession: I'm so glad I don't have that need to create drama by screwing up my life.
