i finally stood up for myself!!!!!!!!!!!!

Traci, on December 7, 2019 at 9:26 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 2 22

Just a vent.

All week people have been dictating plan on how our wedding will benefit them. They keep saying, "I want this, I want that, I want alcohol there." Then tonight people came tome and started telling me what food they wanted served, who they wanted to sit with. So tonight was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I raised my voice and said

"I make my choices, deal with it! Is this your wedding? Is this your wedding?! Make plans and get bossy when YOU get married. Stop harassing me with things YOU want and deal with what is planned by my FH and myself"

Of course with my hot New Jersey temper I didn't realize I was enunciating every word while clapping my hands. I think i made my point.

To wrap it up. WE ARE IN CHARGE. DON'T WHINE. It's unbecoming of you.

This has been my TED talk.Go lay down.

    Good! Or tell them if they want things a certain way then they can put the cash down to take care of it.

    Good for you! You can’t please everyone and it’s not about them anyways.

    Exactly. It felt good to scream at them. Ugh. I love them all but they need to chill. Or not go.

    Oohhh, I'm very familiar with the clapping. When I get real mad I start yelling and clapping my hands. That's how you know you have been pushed to far.

    YES.

    As a fellow Jersey Girl - remind them who we are and what we stand for!

    Yes. With me, clapping is a step before throwing hands. Lol. My FH had to bear hug me to calm me down.

    Yes!! I totally agree!!! My FMIL and FSIL want beer, wine and mixed drinks at our wedding. But since we’re having it in a church, the church does not allow alcohol. I have a explained to them multiple times that we can’t have alcohol in church. I just FINALLY blew up in my country accent and said “Put the N to the O and spell it out, HELL NO!! “What part of NO don’t you understand”!! They finally got the picture and stopped asking me. Sometimes you just have to put your foot down.

    Thanks lol!!!!! All my life I was quiet and let people make me do stuff I don't want to do. However, working with 50 year olds at my current job, i learned to break my filter and to defend myself. Lol so all the guest need to ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

    It’s our wedding not theirs. I think sometimes their trying to make our wedding all about them because they never got the things we have. Ok I’m off my soap box now.
