Brides who brag... *VENT*

Jaimee G., on October 21, 2013 at 8:50 PM Posted in Planning 0 16

My friend just got re-married (they weren't even divorced, but thought a wedding was in order) this past weekend and just decided to text me bragging about everything.. Okay! i get it, it is SUPER exciting and i'm super happy for her and her , every girl should get to have an amazing wedding and be able to talk about it for a long time. But im sorry, there is a different between being rude about bragging and showing genuine excitement about your wedding. Its so irritating to me that she keeps trying to one up my wedding.. IDC, can she not be happy for me too? especially since she copied most of my ideas..

Then again she is that person that thinks everything she does is the best.. there is no way around it. Seeing this is the same friend that said she was prettier then me in front of my florist at my meeting. Like..what? Im 21 and your 36 grow up.

Sorry, i really needed to vent.

Does anyone else have this problem with close friends who are getting married the same time you are?

    OMG my friend was bragging to me about how she didn't have a budget and almost sorta laughed in my face because I almost had heart failure for not wanting to spend 300 bucks on invitations people throw it out why would I throw 300 bucks out like that?! She goes oh I got quoted for 3k for my invites she deserved a bitch slap! I responded well it must be nice to not have to worry about a budget she didn't say a word

    @Crys - you shouldnt have to worry about bragging about your wedding if your not being spitful! weddings are exciting and good willed people will share in your excitement!

    she was just being rude.. for example decided to message me out of the blue " this famous person was at my wedding.... BOOM BITCH" and im like.. "well im having his wedding at my house.. boom??" i dont get it.. then sends pics and says i had the BEST dj. i have the BEST flowers. ya de da de dah.

    *edit for wrong word

    Is she actually a friend? Your relationship sounds unhealthy.

    My friend bragged that her dress was gonna cost more...

    I knew it was since I was going to buy mine at 399 dollars...I just let her think that way...she says guests will be more comfortable at her ceremony since they're going to be outside...in the month of June...in oh so hot GA...

    My guests will be AC while yours might be rushed to the hospital after collapsing on the grass...

    @Crys and Pan - they are more like my family.. i've spent the last 5 years baby-sitting and traveling with them. She is just a very self centered person who needs people to tell her how it is and not fall into believing every word she says (like me) haha. If it wasn't for her i would have never met my fiance! While i cant stand her sometimes i just need to vent and then tell her how it is.. like no one else does because everyone thinks she SOOO cool. I dont get it.

    Crys, in your case it just sounds like maybe a case of friends being friends so long their tastes rub off on each other? I have a couple of friends like that. We used to wander around stores, and pick things out and we usually picked the same stuff(bedding, dishes, artwork, etc).

    My halloween bride (not the one on here) and I have been tip-toeing around each otherʻs wedding details because weʻre so close in dates but on different budgets. if sheʻs bragging and throwing "I have the best yada-yada" then she is 1) inconsiderate, 2) insecure, and 3) NOT a friend

    Can you give a example of some of the things she said? maybe she doesn't realize she's hurting your feelings

    Stop discussing wedding details with her (that way she can't steal them). If she starts annoying you, just try to change the subject or knock on your desk or kitchen table and tell her you have to go, someone is at the door. haha.

    Stop telling her your ideas and stuff!

    if she asks about a certain thing just give her a short answer don't give her details.

    and if she sends messages like that again just tell her you're marrying the best man on earth and that's all that matters.

    Yes, I agree with the above ladies: stop sharing wedding details with her. A person with that type of personality has to self-feed on those she feels is inferior. If she felt so insecure that she needed to have a Pretty Princess Day then she is not someone you need to associate with.

    My BIL is marrying a woman who thinks she is royalty in Thailand. She brags about her wedding whenever we have family gatherings. I've never liked her, but now I don't look at her or speak to her anymore because I don't care for her tacky wedding ideas that she thinks are so awesome.
