Dealing with an actual STD might have been less annoying

Long rant-y post ahead.

Four months until the wedding! OMG. I have a feeling I might start hyperventilating more and more. Mike told me as we get closer to the wedding, if I hear him playing Bob Marley that's when I know he's feeling really stressed. Still so much to decide.

I can't even imagine the stress it takes to plan a wedding! I remember when my (ex) best friend got married a couple years back, how crazy busy she was planning the whole thing that she even ended up getting a rash because of all the stress.

I hope everything goes okay for you babe. Four months left, you can do it! *hugs*

*hugs*

Thankfully I haven;t gotten any rashes...yet.

Thanks.

Family. Can't live without them, can't live with them.

*hugs* I hope all the stress isn't getting to you too badly.

[geekslave]

Absolutely!

Hugs back. It's getting harder the closer it gets, but we're dealing with it alright.

I don't have many productive comments, unfortunately, not first thing in the morning but I read through the whole post and gods, woman, it's your wedding. I really don't think you're being a Bridezilla at all, because your mother and in-laws alike are owed voices and that is all. Your can listen to opinions and still hold your own; the more you can do to make your wedding enjoyable, and not stressful, the better! That said, I think you need to sit down with the whole 'involved family' and have a talk about this before things turn sour...

*hugs* I hope you can work it all out. I'm worried about my wedding now; we're at probably the two-year point, too.

Thanks. I definitely agree that they can contribute their ideas, but I shouldn't be obligated to do what they want. Thankfully, we haven't had any huge problems lately, and nothing, like the card incident.

Good luck with your wedding.

I'm never sure why the term is "bridezillas" when it really should be "mothersofthebrideandgroomzillas"! My wedding was a long time ago but I do remember the stress. My advice would be pick the really important battles to fight and let them get away with the smaller things.

If it makes you feel any better we were asked if we wanted our wedding filmed, we both said No, so my father-in-law went ahead and had it done anyway!

Just don't let it get to you too much. *hugs*

*hugs* That sucks that your FIL went against your wishes.

I'm never sure why the term is "bridezillas" when it really should be "mothersofthebrideandgroomzillas"!

LOL.

Thanks for the advice.

I'm trying not to.

Arragh! I have always been told that perfectly reasonable people go silly over weddings and you're obviously getting a dose of that from all sides. *huge hugs* It is your wedding and in theory, you should have everything you and Mike wants (how awful for people to say that he gets no choice - good on you for making sure he has a say, even when it's sometimes things that you would rather not!) I'd say pick your battles - know the things you care about and stick by it. Maybe let them have the smaller things so they can feel pleased.

Try not to let it get you down too much!

I am trying to let them have some little things here and there.

I'm trying not to.
