Nobody Cares...

I guess my family and friends are odd then lol. It seemed like the minute we said we were engaged it was all anyone could talk about. We did some early plans and went to an expo and then things slowed down due to finding a place to rent together and moving. Now I can't get my MOH and BM to go dress shopping and since I recently lost my job they are all suggesting we delay the wedding. I just tell them look we are 4 months out so lets just keep planning and pray I get a job soon. Most of our venders were reserved early in the process just a couple left.

I agree, most people may be a little too busy and maybe they might get more interested when your wedding date is near. But I wouldn't bank on it. Just stay positive and focus on what you need to do. I don't bring up my plans, unless I'm asked about it. It was saddening but I got over it. Have you start looking a venues yet?

Nooo don't think like that Riki, Unless truly you want a dest wedding or you want to go to the courthouse, don't give up. I am glad you came here and voiced how you feel. Like everyone said not everyone will be as excited about your wedding as you. For me everyone is excited but I think its because the wedding is a little under 4 months away. But still there are some people who don't ask. In my situation I am the last of my friends my age to be married so everyone is super excited for me to "join the club." LOL thats probably why I am now getting more calls and excitement.

Your wedding is still over a year away...once it gets closer people will be more excited. Wait until you send the save the dates, thats what did it for us. we got so many emails, calls and reponses.

I feel the same way. FH's one cousin does invitations and his other does videography. We are def. On the back burner with them. His family is all worried about the first two great grandchildren for his grandparents! My family is mainly concerned with my sister, and my other family is worried about my brother. The wedding party is not very hyped which I understand, but when my moh asks me when the bridal shower is, that hurts. I know its overreacting but it hurts none the less. So I completely understand.

I hope things get better for you. You know your friends and family better than we do, so if they're the super excitable type, then they'll start to show interest eventually. Just keep coming back to the Forums. There are some wonderful ideas, tips, advice, and actual pictures that are extremely helpful!

Congratulations on your engagement & good luck to you!

It's sad to know someone else feel's the same way as I do.. but comforting to know we're not alone! Your feelings are completely reasonable - it's only natural that you expect those closest to you to care.. but either way, you have this whole nation of brides here online, on pintrest etc to share in your excitement! What could be better than sharing this time with lovely ladies who actually understand you! You go girl! Your wedding is going to be amazing!

I completely agree with you ladies! I just had a bit of a break down because I feel like nobody cares about the wedding. We've been engaged for 8 months and aren't getting married until Sept 2018 and we literally haven't done anything for it. My bridesmaids haven't asked about anything or tried to go with me to try on dresses. Everyone is just "too busy". Instead of anyone wanting to go with me to try on dresses, I've gotten desperate so my fiancé even went with me so I didn't go alone. I just want to give up and have a destination wedding.

I came here feeling really down because I experienced a similar reaction as Riki but reading your comment really made me feel a little better and I appreciate all the people in this community that show support and love to all the brides that need it 💍❤️ Thank you!
