Update on Second PPD

You guys remember this mess right? http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/1022357/second-ppd

So I finally picked up the phone to call Ursala and tell her, nope no way on God's green earth am I going to be in your second PPD. Honestly, nothing terribly exciting happened. This was our convo:

Me: Hey Ursala, it's Fiona, I'm calling about the uh...bridesmaid proposal you sent?
Her: Oh yes! I was wondering, I hadnt' heard from you, ok so we picked out a dress, let me get the style number for you.
Me: Actually, I won't be needing that. I figured since I was already in your last wedding (I'm playing dumb that that was a PPD itself), I'd skip being in the uh...vow renewal. Because ya know, it was kind of stressful last time. Me and you, we're just so different (I'm not a crazy bitch, you are), ya know.
Her: It's not a vowel renewal. We're getting married, it's a wedding. 
Me: Oh, but...did you guys split up? Because I thought it was still Jaffar you were marrying....
Her: No, we didn't split up. That one you were last time wasn't a wedding. I mean, it wasn't what I wanted for a wedding. It was all for my mom. So this is my real wedding. Finally! 
Me: Oh, so you're delusional on top of being a crazy ass bitch since you were married in a Catholic ceremony before that mess of a wedding took place, will Jaffar be getting his own wedding for exactly what he wants too? 
Oh, fine I didn't actually say that. I wanted too. I thought about it.
Me: Oh, well, still I think it's for the best if I'm not a bridesmaid. (is what I actually said)
Her: Yeah, I guess you're right, you'd stand out with my friends anyways. Well, you'll probably be hearing from one of them regarding my shower in a few months! I hope I get to see you there!

And then we hung up. She's nuts. Like, I'm actually wondering if we need professional intervention here. But yes, I will attend the shower and report back.

Re: Update on Second PPD

  • UGH. Makes my head throb.

     







  • She's been married this whole time, and didn't get divorced. Had a shower for both OG wedding and then for PPD, I'm assuming. Thinks you will stand out among the bridesmaids for her PPD. 

    But like why?... and... who? But... then, no? No?

    Actually we had four different showers last time. One that Grandma wanted to have (fancy tea and finger sandwiches), then one of her friends from school threw her one, then her mom wanted to have one, and then I think it was her MIL or SIL who threw the last one because they wanted their family represented. As a bridesmaid I had the honor of attending all four!

    I'd "stand out" because I don't look like a Stepford wife. Or act like one. Which now makes me wonder how she's selling this to them. I mean, they've lived together for 8 years, presented themselves as husband and wife (which they are) I'm assuming there are some "WTF do you mean you're getting married?" questions floating around. 
  • what you should do is if you can stand to be around her for a couple of hours...have a wine night or something over at her house...steal the gift you gave her for her first shower....wrap it....and give it back for the second shower :)
    I was pretty broke back then...I think I did a painting for her. Her mom made a comment to my dad about me giving her a handmade gift. I either gave her the painting for her shower or for her wedding.
  • I've officially heard it all.

  • Holy shitballs batman.

    FOUR SHOWERS?  A SECOND PPD?  Corrected you when you called it a vow renewal?  I don't even know what to react to, but these were my expressions reading this craziness.

    I'd decline the shower so fast, and just go to the "wedding" to report back on the shitshow I'm sure it will be.
  • Paint her something that is complementary to the last one you painted her. Tell her you wanted to make it so she can display them together.

    Actually she reacted pretty well to the painting. Well she said "It's pretty...I don't get it...but it's pretty!" her mom was the one who couldn't believe I got her something homemade. So she might actually like this. 
  • LOL at the "you'd stand out anyway."  Was that supposed to hurt your feelings? Jeeze.
