they won't listen to you, and they'll certainly like you a whole lot less.

I would suggest you talk about it to someone who is also getting married. It's a fun and exciting thing and you want to share it with people, so share it with someone who understands and is going through the same things you are.

No one -- and I repeat, NO ONE -- will ever be as interested in your wedding as you and your FI are. Not your mother, not your BFF, not your work-out buddy, NO ONE.

And your FI may not be as interested as you are, or as you want him to be. Some men are very interested in wedding planning and others aren't. You can't make him be interested if he's not, and being a bridezilla will only annoy him and make him even less interested in wedding planning.

What you should do is cool it with wedding talk for a while -- you have more than a year to figure this out. Then sit down with your FI and figure out what he IS interested in having a say in -- venue, date, food, cake, whatever -- and work those things out with him. Then do the rest on your own. I'm sorry if that's not what you envisioned for your wedding planning, but it is the reality you are facing.

You shouldn't get married if you can't figure out how to use some damn punctuation.

If that were the case there would be significantly less marriages happening in the world.

OP, I get that you feel bummed, but like PP have said, no one is going to care as much about your wedding as your are, especially this far out. Give it time, and I'm sure your mom will start getting excited.

i'm not clear on what you're talking about regarding the florist.

sure no one is as excited about your wedding as you, but if your wedding is 406 days away (seriously? counting the days already?) then that is probably why. you don't really need to talk about anything one designated day of the week for now, about anything.

i would suggest getting a diary and some wedding magazines and start writing down any wedidng ideas you have. then you can talk about things that interest everyone besides your wedding, and you won't burn everyone out on wedding talk. if you go bridezilla, i am sure that will only make them start hating the wedding talk altogether.

I can't get past the fact that there are NO PERIODS in that OP at all.

Nor commas, nor apostrophes.

Also, I can't decide if she's supposed to be "angelics cars" or "angelic scars."

I was trying to figure out the handle too.

Angelic scars sounds very emo to me.

hmonkey · May 2013

it's "could not care less", not "could care less." "could care less" implies that you care some amount.

Wzz · May 2013

i don't think today is the designated day to criticize her bad grammar and punctuation. maybe that is why she's not here anymore.

Weddings are kind of a boring topic. Honestly, I'm surprised that you're not a little bored by the whole thing, too.

angelicscars85 · May 2013

I admit I am not the best with grammar I am also kind of upset that I here I am venting asking for advice and most of you only care about grammar daziy914 thank you for your advice

punctuation =/= grammar

GBCK · May 2013

punctuation = readability.

lack of punctuation = gibberish written by the barely-literate.

I agree with Daizy914. I just got proposed to 3 days ago and I already can see the blank stares when I talk of wedding ideas. Hang in there, and definitely see what your Fi wants to have input in, then have fun. I'm sorry that you aren't getting people that are excited with you. It can take a full year to plan a wedding so you really aren't that far ahead of the game.

Let's eat, Grandma!

Punctuation is not only helpful, but it saves lives as well.
