    I need to have a rant....my friend got divorced last autumn, swiftly met new man, engaged Xmas, happy for her. She text on the weekend to say their wedding is a few weeks before mine!!! I have been planning for nearly 2 years and am so excited about my wedding but feel she is stealing my thunder a little bit. Trying to be all grown up and not let it bother me but it does a bit. I just hope she doesn't have the same dress as me!!!

    Also having a bit of an issue with my MOH. It appears that she doesn't want to arrange my hen do so my bridesmaid has taken over, bless her, and is doing a sterling job despite being a very busy bee! Bit sad that MOH isn't really helping as I did hers a few years ago and made a huge effort to make it special for her :(

    Phew, thanks for letting me get that off my chest!

    Aw!!! You have my sympathy on both counts! Your friend is clearly on the rebound :eek: and your MOH is being very selfish in forgetting how much you did for her xxx

  • i'm beginning to wish we were having a traditional everyone in their finery type do - H2B's friend of many years looked most put out when I told him there was no dress code, just wear something comfy and clean, or whatever you are happiest in without it being fancy dress.

    I tried to explain that it is the fact he is there which is important to us, not what he is wearing. Although I did tell him he can't wear his British Gas uniform too!

  • I've been engaged for nearly a month now!

    We have 2 options for wedding

    Option 1: me, df and 2 dd's go to to the carribean with our best friends and as much family as can afford to go. They all come for one week and take our dd's home whilst we stay for another week on our own

    Option 2: we all go to Vegas or new York. Get married. Everyone goes home and then df and I go somewhere for a honeymoon most likely the carribean.

    Everyone has something to bloody say about it. Telling us what they want and we should do what they want. This is the whole reason we wanted to go away to get married. :(

    And my mil is a beast and I don't want her in my wedding pictures

  • It's true!
    Infant none of my inlaws are under 19 stone.......
  • I have such a mental picture of this.

    my family all have a natural ability to unintentionally gurn as soon as a camera is about, even me, god knows what our photos will look like! I'll probably even laugh at them in a few years time

    love it!

    I saw an advert on TV yesterday for a camera that starts taking the photos even before you press the button, I can't work out if this is :eek: or :j

    I just can't smile. I mean, I can normally but not with a camera pointing at me - my lips seem to tremble :rotfl: But then again I loose all ability to walk when I feel people are watching me too :rotfl:
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....
  • i'm grumpy and no i'm not sure why i'm grumpy but i am

    and i want to shout at OH - he's completely lost interest - i know why we are going to see his family back home in 5 weeks and he is all excited about it - but that doesnt mean you shouldn't be planning and doing something every minute of the day just like i am

    planning a holiday planning a wedding planning trying to organise about a gizillion people making sure they are in the right country at the right time and then the right city at the right time

    and i'm still not engaged yet which is slightly getting to me ............ but he has til wednesday then i'm doing it

    and my foot hurts which means i'm not sleeping which means all of this is a hundred times worse in my head and i'm just grumpy
    The only people I have to answer to are my beautiful babies aged 8 and 5
