I am a Bridezilla and my confession is....

Lisa Jane - I would seriously tell him you want £100 towards your mums outfit - he sounds a bit of a mummys boy and this needs to change! I think it is just cheeky of him!

Ok - I am having a bridezilla moment.... I suggested that our Mums should be our witnesses as they don't get to do much on the wedding day. Then I remembered his Mum has her front tooth missing and now I am regretting suggesting it. I really don't want her big gappy smile on all the pictures...

I know - I am a horror - and luckily we haven't mentioned it to our Mums and I know my OH will agree, but I am so shallow.

Don't shoot me - I am just being honest.

Lisajane - I would tell him that if he cant do something for your parents, then it works the other way round and you cant give his mum the money to buy the suit. (I would even go so far as to say she'd be welcome to come in her tracksuit).

Lol, sugarwalsh, I have the same thoughts about some of my relatives!

I know that OH would marry me the way I look now, and I'm not usually so vain! Must be all the wedding talk around me at the moment... I may ask about the extensions though

Thanks everyone, I feel much better for airing my feelings, I'm going to sit down tonight and talk to him about it without (hopefully) loosing my temper.

He is a mummy's boy and I can sort of see his point that he wants to see his mum look nice but I think it is unfair to give one and not the other.

Sugarwalsh, I have similar thoughts about some of our relatives too, hopefully the photo's will be taken at a distance so you don't notice as much :rotfl:

If it helps, how often is the focal point of wedding photos the signing of the register? The registrar will have a photo of you and your husband signing it, and then one of your witnesses, and then one of the 4 of you together. I completely understand you're reasons (we're all shallow!) but we had our Mum's signing the register and to me, it's not an "important picture" as they're only fake signing it anyway!

Thank you - I know, I am just being a cow bag because she drives me a little nuts. I'm sure I shouldn't be so awful about it all.

I've been close to punching H2B in the face tonight lol (obviously joking)!!!

When watching the X Factor, he commented on Tulisa's dress saying it looked ridiculous. I asked if it was that she couldn't walk in it, or the actual dress to which he replied both. He's currently wondering why i have a stroppy face on. I have a fishtail dress haha!

I'm chuffing annoyed! We weren't going ot have hen and stag do's as we felt a) it was an extra expense for everyone and b) it seemed weird after living together for 7 years. Everyone fussed so we decided on a cheapie - lazerquest followed by curry then cocktails at ours. Now, despite giving plenty of notice people are either not responding to invite or giving rubbish excuses. I have travelled far and wide for other parties, be them birthdays, hens or christening. I have done so with little money and managed to get the kids looked after when needs be. I feel let down by these people and I also feel a little bit cheated because they are all willing to come to the wedding - when we are paying - but they wont go to the extra effort of a fun afternoon and evening.

GRRRRRRR. I could RANT for England.

How annoying! I know where you're coming from; I nearly fell out with a few of my best friend's friends when I was organising her hen do a few years ago. Everyone (about 18 of them) were well up for it, I worked hard to get things at the best possible price, spoke to the bride to make sure that it would be OK for everyone, made sure people knew roughly what the plan was, etc. Then, as soon as I started booking stuff and asking people for actual money, half of them decided they couldn't make it anymore! :mad: What, did they think it was going to be free???

It's especially annoying when you are yourself willing to make the effort for other people. Still, at least you will now know who your real friends are!

If loads more people drop out then go back to not having stag and hen parties like you'd originally planned - maybe just do the cocktails at your house for your close friends.

The hen do is causing me more hassle than the wedding! Had to time it around one of my bridesmaid's being free. Then it's all go, now people are saying, why are we going so far (erm because it's actually cheaper!!). It's in March, so I've left the planning now until after Christmas because obviously money gets tight but I said about train tickets being available next week being the cheapest and got my head bitten off!!
