Super September 2011

Well, according to my mom I am a snob. I don't think I can take this much longer.

Continuing drama with my sisters & mom. Last week (after I had seen everyone) my sisters were talking about the wedding (I was not present).

Continuing drama with my sisters & mom. Last week (after I had seen everyone) my sisters were talking about the wedding (I was not present). My 15 year old niece told them that they need to let me have the wedding the way I want. That they need to stop pushing things in my face. They told her that I (apparently) haven't been planning & they need to tell me everything I'm suppose to do. So according to them, having a dress, a place picked for the ceremony & reception, an officiant picked (but not booked) and everything bought for the centerpieces among other things isn't planning.

Today my sister brought over a friend's white dress - it's a lot like the one I bought - a simple white summer dress. I wouldn't try it on. I told them that I didn't want to try it on, that I already have a dress. She had also bought some of those little colored stones for the centerpieces. They already know I have everything bought. And I reminded my mom of this. (cont)

    Oh I have! They'll ask if I have this or that & I'm like yep. But they always think they can do it better (or buy something better).

    I would talk to your mom and sister's about how they are making you feel. Let them know you appreciate their help, but it is you and FH decision about this. That being said ignoring them is not going to get rid of them or their advice. So be direct and when they give suggestions listen and move on if possible. If they are being too bossy, then confront them about whose wedding this is and whose paying for it. Good Luck!

    Hey! we're wedding date twins! lol

    I think they are jealous, reading about their weddings on here.. they are jealous that you are planning the wedding of your dreams, and they are trying to put in things that they wanted at theirs so they can live vicariously through you! when they make suggestions, or try to talk about the wedding, change the subject.. I find myself doing that quite often with loud mouthed family members lately Smiley smile good luck! and try not to let it get to you, keep on planning the wedding of your dreams!
