Maybe you and the Mister can have your own brag-fest during and after so you don't have to deal with scrutiny or upsetting feedback..I know I hate when I am expecting a celebration and get something like "Oh...that's cool" <br /><br />Good luck with everything, I'm sure it won't be a big deal once you're in the midst, you know?!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911933650186002501.post-91150960816425562592010-05-13T18:01:03.751-07:002010-05-13T18:01:03.751-07:00I am sad b/c I can't comment on your blog at w...I am sad b/c I can't comment on your blog at work. So when I respond to your comments on my blog and not on yours, don't think I'm ignoring you!<br /><br />Ok, now that's done. First, I love "first ring of relatives." Four words means so much. LOVE! And second, I don't want to compare our weddings but- hi! August! and hi! First ring and friends! And hi! The whole kid's birthday party thing! I think our weddings should be friends. But the real reason I'm writing is that I understand how you feel. Three of our five weddings this year are friend weddings, and those friends will be at our wedding. So I'm a little nervous about the comparing and contrasting myself. I deal with it by ignoring it all together. Mind over matter, I guess.<br /><br />Oh, and when my friend's talk about their weddings I always give good feedback and support. I guess I'm hoping that my positive feedback will result in them showing me some love as well, so far it has. Ultimately, us brides can relate (exhibit A: wedding blogs) even though all our weddings may look different, we're all able to bond because we feel the same shitty pressures.<br /><br />Judging from what I've seen in your Save the Date video and the cookie escort cards, you're going to have a fabulous day. And everyone will be able to see that with the love and care you've shown your wedding.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075148009608610305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911933650186002501.post-50729919626105400442010-05-13T09:37:38.029-07:002010-05-13T09:37:38.029-07:00Lizzie,

Being a bridesmaid can be a lot with a sane person...but your cousin went off the deep end on a few levels. :(<br /><br />That's true that the bride's attitude matters a lot. I have just noticed other people saying things like, "At our wedding we are going to do this!" and its in the tone of "we're right. everyone else is crazy." Not very nice. Hearing that kind of thing doesn't make me feel good, so I try to avoid having that same affect on others.<br /><br />Tricksy situations!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972465903387097782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911933650186002501.post-52084021177133856982010-05-13T09:16:13.196-07:002010-05-13T09:16:13.196-07:00Jen...I say you make your decision based on the at...Jen...I say you make your decision based on the attitude of the brides (if you're close). <br /><br />I went to my cousin's wedding in January of 2009, I was the maid of honor. She was...I'm sorry. A bitch about the whole thing. I spent $1200 from my college student semester-long budget to throw her a bridal shower. The dresses she chose cost $600.00 and she had me running ridiculous 2+ hour long errands the day of and was upset when I walked in just before the processional from 2 hours away with an amp in my hand. <br /><br />No thank you. We hardly talk anymore. <br /><br />I have nightmares about her wedding. Literally, actually, nightmares. <br /><br />Then, Isaiah and I had just started talking about what a kick-ass wedding we were going to have someday. The details we had discussed wanting were exactly opposite of the first wedding we went to together...the one we were at. Because my cousin was being so incredibly stand-offish and rude to me (didn't invite me, maid of honor, to the bachelorette party) <br /><br />I subtly gloated about our wedding details and Isaiah and I had great fun with it during the wedding. <br /><br />Anyways. That's about all. Take cues from the vibe of the wedding. If you mention you're getting married to someone and they ask you about it, gloat on "And we'll all gloat on, alright, already..." <br /><br />If they don't seem interested, you're gonna be disappointed with the results of telling them details.
