No One To Talk To:(

*almost*, on September 14, 2010 at 6:16 PM Posted in Planning 0 24

I know everyone has their own problems and own lives to live. But I really feel like no one cares. I got my invitations from UPS on saturday and here it is tuesday and I have no one to tell. Its not like I expect everyone to jump up and down for me but whenever I call someone, they always have some sad story to tell. How can I overcome that with a happy note? For example, I called my mom and before I could even tell her about the invitations and great finds for my centerpieces, she goes on and on about the charges for her gas bill and her being tired of this and that. And then she asks me so whats up. Like I really want to talk about it now after all of that. Then my best friend from college was suppose to come over sunday to do a mock trial of the table set ups and he he gets to my house 4 hours late and only stays for 20 mins, he didn't help with anything. Im sorry Im just a little frustrated with people and really reconsidering if I really want to have this wedding, I have no help

    =( I am sorry you are felling that way. Is FH any support to you in any of this? Does he get involved or get excited when you brag about a good find?

    Hey I understand where you are coming from to a T so to speak, I just got engaged this past month (Aug 15th) and Im planning my wedding on my own also, Moneys tight so you do whatcha gotta do. We are having a Halloween wedding =) costumes and all nothing normal about us so we didn't feel like a white wedding suited. As far as the no one caring or helping, shoot... I feel like screaming myself lol. This year for us has been a VERY HARD road. and yeah people you hope to hear your excitement are the ones who are the biggest KILL JOYS. (growl) So please feel free to vent as long as that vent opens for me too =) Im a stay at home mom, with nothing to do but plan and clean lol... so hit me up anytime =)

    We want to hear about it and help you! I am in the same boat. Every Thursday night and sunday afternoons for 4 weeks BOTH my BM's have blew me off at the last minute and my MOH, my sister lives 2 hours away and everytime I send her a email or pics or something.. she writes "no I like this better" or "no I think thats a little corny" or something.. so gr! I am here pretty much every day from 8am-5pm on and off, I always check my messages through my phone.. so if you want, you can private message me! Smiley smile

    Hey, no one really cares about my wedding either~that's why I'm always on WW =) I can always count on my girls to be excited with me! I never ask for help from anyone in my life, b/c they couldn't really care less. So, I'm doing everything myself! And I'm very happy to! No one will ever be as excited about your wedding as YOU are. Also, try not to expect anything from anyone, and then, when they DO help, you'll be thrilled! Hope this helps!

    We are all hear to listen and give words of encouragement to put a smile on your face. I think most of us have this problem and yes, it is frustrating and upsetting, but try not to dwell on it, no matter how hard it can be. LOL.

    I just got a call from my bridal salon to set up an appt to inspect my dress Dec 9th and while I am shouting if from the rooftops the responses are generic, which makes me sad. I told my FS and he didn't even respond until after I said "when we went for your tux fitting I was so excited for you and I can't even get a response from you." His response was "It's nice."

    The lesson to be learned is that no one will ever be as excited about our weddings as we are, so when someone is complaining about their problems just respond with "i have some news to cheer you up" and tell them your good news.

    You should talk to your mom about your wedding plans, she asked what was up. Sometimes hearing good news is a good distraction from one's own problems. Just because someone else is having a hard time doesn't mean that you don't get to share or feel good about your good news. I've heard it on the boards before, no one is going to be as excited about your wedding as you are. That's just the way it is sometimes. We are always exited to hear about good news and good deals so tell us.

    I hear ya! My mom has actually told me that since the wedding is over a year away, she doesn't want to hear it. I can't talk to her about any of it. My FH is rather football oriented right now, so I completely understand where you're coming from there too. I could scream! Two of my bridesmaids don't like the dress (not mine, theirs). Most of my friends are like "Big deal" and they roll their eyes at me. I have NO ONE to tell that I found "THE" dress. Nobody cares that I can't find invitations that I like and that fit into our budget. So, I guess I'm gonna rant and vent too.

    I am sorry. I have felt this way before but on a happier note. I jumped up and down at you getting your invitations. LOL. It's very exciting! You should have seen me great the UPS man when they delivered mine, he probably thought I was a freaking pysco.

    I know exactly how you feel cause for my wedding I did EVERYTHING myself including setting up the day of my wedding and cleaning it up the next day. meeting with vendors and all trust me I know. Hang in there you'll get through it. If you need to talk message me cause Ive been there done that.

    No matter how much they love you, many people are just not that interested in weddings. The trick is to develop some friends (here or elsewhere) who are fascinated by yours, and then try to keep wedding conversation down with those who are not interested.

    We care!! I learned early on not to talk about the wedding with my friends because if they're not getting married they don't care. I mean, they care about me but not to talk wedding non stop. Then I have the people who ask me about the wedding and I freeze because where do you start? lol. Hang in there and vent all your frustrations here. :-)

    Oh no!!! I have a lot of that too and I think that is what got me bummed the other day. It doesnt matter who I call or when I almost feel like no one around me has anything positive and then it makes me dwell on the negative... on a side note post a photo of your invites dear
