FMIL rant and my something blue.
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on July 20, 2015 at 6:13 PM

FMIL is driving me especially crazy lately. Normally I don't post from home, but I'm so angry and FH isn't home yet. FMIL just emailed us that we need to meet with them Monday to go over wedding plans...

Just for fun, but for anyone who's been to Nassau
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on July 14, 2015 at 3:50 PM

Is there anything, or anywhere you'd recommend that we go? We'll be staying for 10 days in March and are just looking for some ideas as far as what others have enjoyed on their trips. I know that he...

I'm back! Update on trip with FH's family (especially FMIL)
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on July 13, 2015 at 8:29 AM

Sadly, taking a trip with 41 people is about as relaxing as it sounds. We were going non-stop 24/7, and the weather just wasn't cooperating. During the week the weather ranged between high 50's and...

My poor BM is in 3 weddings this fall and is going crazy....vent
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on July 2, 2015 at 8:22 AM

FH's cousin is one of my BM's and called me nearly in tears last night. She's in 3 weddings between October and November (counting ours) and is starting to get overwhelmed. We were hanging out last...

Well that was fast.
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on July 1, 2015 at 4:29 PM

Just a heads up, if you can't afford to live on a day to day basis without needing a potential loan you probably shouldn't look at hosting a wedding prior to living like an adult. It won't be well...

Ordered my something blue, what's yours?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on July 1, 2015 at 10:33 AM

Some may know, but I'm overly in love with dinosaurs. FH loves it and thinks it's great. As a surprise my friend (she makes dress labels/patches a lot for wedding dresses) is making me a little blue...

My MOH is the best.
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 30, 2015 at 8:29 AM

While she won't tell me any details she did let me know the theme of my bridal shower and my bachelorette. They're hosting a dinosaur theme bridal shower and a Dr. Who inspired bachelorette. She said...

Well, it was good while it lasted, FMIL issues
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on June 29, 2015 at 3:42 PM

Recently FMIL has been trying to play nice and has actually been getting better. We saw her over the weekend and she was actually nice to us. We were both surprised when FH and I got an email from her...

I swear FH's family has a few extra crazies in it.
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 26, 2015 at 8:25 AM

Last night we were visiting with FH's cousin, who is the younger sister of one of my BM's. She won't be attending the wedding but has asked if I will try my dress on for her tomorrow so she can see...

Has anyone had their shower and bachelorette party the same day?
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 23, 2015 at 8:49 AM

How well did it work out for you? I love the idea of my out of town BM only traveling one day vs. two, and I like that it sounds easier as far as scheduling everything goes. I guess my only question...

Fired the ukulele player today. Relieved and stressed that I have to start over
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 22, 2015 at 1:48 PM

Long story short my uke player decided to fall off the face of the planet. We were supposed to meet a few weeks ago so we could sign the contract and pay the deposit but she was in an accident. I was...

Shopping with my FMIL
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 22, 2015 at 8:11 AM

Went surprisingly okay. I think my FSIL was a bit on edge though as she kept bickering with her mom over the smallest things. She was surprisingly helpful when the kids were acting up, and when FSIL...

This must be a sign of the upcoming apocalypse... FMIL almost made me cry..
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 18, 2015 at 10:33 AM

For once it was because she said something nice/thoughtful. Apparently the news about my mom threatening to not come to the wedding hasn't been sitting well with her. I received the following today at...

I swear our families are just trying to drive us nuts, Rant
JaKLyn in Etiquette and Advice, on June 17, 2015 at 8:26 AM

So normally my FMIL is the one to drive me insane, but my mother apparently thought that FMIL could use a vacation and that she should be the one to go off of the deep end now. Some of you may...

You've got to be kidding me....
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 16, 2015 at 9:45 AM

About a month back we sent out emails to a few different venues for our RD. Most got back to us within a day or two, which we figured was normal, and gave us the pricing info we requested. Most said...

Favors. Here are ours. FH's grandpa had them made and shipped to us out of the blue. We were originally going to skip favors, but will just be using the koozies now.

Well cats outta the bag thanks to FH
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 10, 2015 at 8:49 AM

Apparently I am now getting a bridal shower from FH's family, hosted by FFIL. I found out when FH kept telling me I needed to bring a certain dress, or one of equal niceness on our trip next month to...

What did you get done this weekend?
JaKLyn in Do It Yourself, on June 8, 2015 at 8:41 AM

*I had some FIL/DIL time with my FFIL. He makes a point of doing something with me at least once a month, and as I have an abusive father who is now completely cut out of my life, it means the world...

Changed the rehearsal dinner!
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 8, 2015 at 4:02 PM

Originally we were supposed to go out for cajun food after the rehearsal, but the RD venue emailed me today to say that they somehow overlooked the shellfish allergy we had listed, and just aren't...

Surprise from FFIL this morning
JaKLyn in Community Conversations, on June 8, 2015 at 9:27 AM

Some may remember that FH and I (along with some of his family) was bummed that we'd miss the first day and a half of the family trip for his grandparents 60th anniversary. I just got a confirmation...
