Codemonkey...I've just read your blog...totally brilliant. OH heard me laughing and came down and read it (yes, he left his computer!!) and he loved it too. Somehow the swearing did make it all ring a bit more true than when we have to moderate ourselves on here - I loved the end to the 'in sickness and in health' bit :rotfl:

My BM is my 16yr old SD2B and I keep panicking that she'll do something horrendous. She already has one of those ear piercings to stretch the ear so wears this horrible long curly tubey type thing through it. Luckily she has long hair which she'll wear down but if there's a wind blowing it around I will look to superglue it to her ears! And my own 16yr old son is also now stretching his - he has a tunnel thing about 1cm wide now and as he has curly hair that kind of goes by his ears it isn't too bad but I spent ages begging him to hold off for a few months. I knew we shouldve just had goldfish instead of kids!!

Dear Frannyann, creator of this thread, take pity on me and hear my confession...

I am fuming! Why?

Because my aunty sent me a nice message to let me know she won't be coming to my wedding, explaining that she thinks her and my mum will fall out and it will ruin my day, a message full of apologies and wishing us the best. My mum emigrated at Christmas, my auntie is still in the uk and for some reason or another she's really annoyed that my mum has 'left your nan in the lurch', and appears to think my mum should had waited til she had passed away before emigrating (my nans 82!)

My stance is I fully support my mum in her decision because you can't assume that children will out live their parents. My nan may live to 110, who knows? On the flip side my friend was diagnosed with cancer in November aged 34, told in December it was terminal (2 years tops, so he organised his wedding and other fun things), in Feb it was 6 months tops, so brought the wedding forward. He was cremated last week, having not lived to his wedding and only having spent one day with his teenage children before passing the next day (they lived abroad with his ex and he'd been trying to get them over for 18 months). So I think everyone should grab their dreams and follow them!!

Why am I so angry? I have no idea. I'm going to invite her to the wedding with an official invite anyway, and then give her the option of only staying for the ceremony and photographs - I'd hate to see her missing on my photographs.

Impet Limpet - I feel for you with awkward non attending guests.

So far, my uncle's girlfriend has said that she won't come because she doesn't get on with my aunt and doesn't want to ruin our day. Now, my nan has said that she probably won't stay very long at the wedding because she has to go and "do something" with her sister. She can't remember what it is, but it definitely has to be that day. The day that her eldest grandchild gets married. First granchild to get married. No, she can't stay. In fact, she may go after the meal. My parents offered to put her up overnight, but no. She doesn't want to stay.

im starting to get a little cross....

it sounds stupid, but my dad keeps laughing at me... i know, i know im thirty bloody four (ugh) and i should be able to rise above it but hes a crotchety old buzzard who apparently knows everything and talks to me like im simple and it r-e-a-l-l-y annoys me

so, im not a particularly girly girl, i dont own many skirts / dresses, dont know a lot about make up and only wear it when im going out somewhere special etc but i am female... i do make an effort when i want and obviously your wedding day is the one time you can have what you want...
well... he has very little interest in the wedding, infact he was here on the day my dress arrived and honestly could not have cared less, which is fine... we are excited enough for most people!
but he keeps laughing and looking at me strangely whenever he sees something weddingy now, for instance the other day i bought a big netting skirt for under my dress as its too A line for a hoop, i grant you it looks like a big tutu but thats the whole point... well he sees it and laughs and says what do you want that for? so i told him and he just shakes his head at me and reacts like he cant understand why i would want to do what very one else does when they get married...
why would I have one of those big dresses? they are the sort of thing real girls wear... not me!
he over heard us talking about having someone in for make up and hair and he piped up with "but you dont wear make up" !!!???!!!!
and when he actually saw the dress his only comment was "your not that tall", he said that he didnt know why we bothered doing an invite for him as he has no choice about coming, and has already made remarks about leaving early.
last time i saw him he made a few comments about having to wear a suit and said he might aswell buy one then he could at least use it to be buried in

i dont need it.... but i also cant say anything, all i can do is.... VENT!!!!!

Fmilies are a nightmare. If i were one of the ladies above with the aunty/mum issues i would say "you're my aunty, she is my mother and i care for you both. I fail to understand why, for one day, you can't put your differences aside and be civil, even if it's just for me".

My step-dad isn't coming to my wedding. When we booked it he was training to be a plumber and said he couldn't come because he "might" be having gas training that week. He has since then got a job back in his old field (IT) and has stopped the plumbing training and won't be on any gas course. I mentioned breifly in passing to my mother in an email that it's a shame dad isn't coming as he won't be on the course now, and she didn't reply. I've decided not to care. The only people i want at my wedding are people that really want to be there, and by doing it abroad that's what we've got. That's not why we're doing it abroad, that would be weird, but it's certainly a pro.

Not exactly Bridezilly, but I do have a confession to make.

Although the wedding really isn't about getting presents at all, I can't help but get really excited each time I check the gift list & see what people have been buying.

Rainbow drops I would be the same!

The opposite of bridezilla, I LOVE my MoH!
