I'm a bad bride

Ajuliana · June 2013

My FI came home all excited last night, asking, "Do you know what tomorrow is?" several times. I could not figure it out. Apparently "tomorrow", aka today, is the one year til our wedding. So now I'm all...

That's funny. I do that "do you know what tomorrow is" thing all the time and he just looks at me like I'm crazy. He never has a clue

FI did that to me, too. I had no idea.

You have to take a bride class now.

Haha! That's awesome.

I'm a bad fiancee in general. FI sent me an edible arrangement a few weeks ago (which is out of the ordinary for him), and I called to ask what the occasion was. It was our four year anniversary. I totally forgot. Oops.

I had this weird thing when we first started dating that I couldn't remember if my FI's birthday was the 12th or the 15th. I kept getting it wrong - I don't know why my brain couldn't figure out which of the dates was correct. So now I celebrate his birthday on both days. I can remember now the right one, but it is a fool-proof plan if my brain fails me again.

@kerbohl I am the exact same way!!! I can never remember if it's the 17th or 18th and I feel horrible! He quizzes me all the time and I have to sneak on FB to check. I have no idea why I can't remember, I am so good at remembering everyone else's.

Me too! FI's birthday is April 25th and his son's is May 25th. I got them mixed up forever until one day he said, "Just remember that I came before my son did." Yep. Just explain it to me like I'm a 2 year old and I'm good.

H is the one that is horrible with dates and I am good with most dates. I know our anniversaries, his birthday and my parents birthdays. I am terrible with his family's birthdays. H is the easiest because his birthday is the 1st of the month the month after my birthday.

I do this to FI all the time but I just make stuff up and he goes with it - he's very easy going!

Me - Guess what today is?

FI - what?

Me - It's National Make-me-scrapple-for-breakfast-day!

FI - really? Okay... and he makes me scrapple...

What's a scrapple?

ekessler424 · June 2013

thats too funny! i usually do that with chocolate chip pancakes.

libby - scrapple is essentially all the left overs from a pig mushed together. most people i know cut it into thin slices and fry it up on the stove. i think it's so gross, but my fiancé loves it!

kryan32 · June 2013

I think scrapple is a regional thing... a lot of people don't like it, but when it's made right it's delicious

Totally a regional thing, and I think it's DELISH. I could live on it.

FI and I are both horrible at remembering our anniversary. One year, we were sitting in the living room watching tv and at about 9pm I suddenly remembered and said "oh shit!" to which he responded "omg". I then said "we're assholes". To which he responded 'Happy Anniversary". That's pretty much how it goes every year.

Pookieson · June 2013

H and I never celebrate anniversary days when we were dating/engaged....maybe we will celebrate now we have an exact date! We never knew when we started dating so we didn't have an anniversary day, we just picked a date in the month of March-May and celebrated 2 years-ish...or 3 years-ish. We are so bad. We'll need to get better about that whole date thing.

kerbohl · June 2013

My FI celebrates month anniversaries for our relationship. I always hated those. I'm sorry, celebrating something like three months? That's lovely, but it doesn't deserve a celebration - check back with me in nine months . . . but it always made him so excited, so I humoured him. When we got engaged, he started doing the countdown to our wedding, the anniversary of our engagement, AND our dating anniversary. How does he keep track? It makes me feel so . . . well, like a bad bride, actually. Because I'm not that excited by such random dates.

Ajuliana · June 2013

@kerbohl, FI originally tried to change our "official" anniversary from Aug 20 to Aug 14th...that way our first six months would be on Valentines Day. He is totally the romantic in the relationship.

Does he tend to take you out to dinner/bring you flowers on these celebrations? Because that's actually kind of cute!

kerbohl · June 2013

@Alaynajuliana He has always been a bit lacking on the flower-bringing and taking me out for dinner in general, but he does write me these sweet little notes about how it is our anniversary and how grateful he is to have me in his life.

And our three-months was conveniently on Valentines Day, so my FI didn't need to change it, but it is cute that your FI tried. Though you could have argued to him that celebrating on the 20th means discounted chocolate, so he could buy you more! That's my favourite part of Valentine's Day - the chocolate sales the day after!

Ajuliana · June 2013

@kerbohl...dear sweet Jesus where were you in 2008 so I could have gotten more chocolate??

Has anyone told you you're kind of a genius? Because from now on we are going to celebrate our half anniversary so this can happen every.single.year.
