First off I would like to thank Erin again for passing the tiara over to me!! You were a wonderful BOTW
Here is my first question... I hope you likey....
Do you feel that you have changed since you became engaged? Do you honestly feel that everything is about 'YOU' now and disregard others feeling because you are getting married? Has anyone told you that you have changed?

Hmmm I don't feel like I've really changed so much as a person.. Some of my wants/needs have changed (i.e. the desire to move out of our tiny 1br apartment has grown immensely)...
I don't feel like it is all about me or should be... but everyone I see whether at work or in my personal life is always asking about the wedding plans and the dress (i'm sure you can all relate)... and sometimes I'd rather not go there... like there is more to me than my wedding....
Oh and last night I had crazy wedding dreams... that was a little annoying but hopefully not a trend

No, I don't think that I've changed, and nobody has told me that I have. I spend more time on the comp. now (thanks to LIW ). Oh... maybe I talk up a little more with negotiating...but that's about it.

I don't handle stress very well (never have, it's terrible - I WISHED for Y2K because I didn't want to write a paper for school), so I'm more stressed out than usual and it SOOOOO shows. FH told me to relax like 14246245 times and the only thing that helps is time passing. A few months back, I was a MESS because we were booking the RH and then, as time progressed, I was fine! Stress makes me a little nuts too, like I snap at people and get a little nasty and very sarcastic. I wouldn't say i've changed though, I'm still the same Becca, just a bit more stressed out.
What's funny was, I was fighting with a girl I used to be friends with and like an idiot, i thought us not speaking was my fault and I emailed her saying that the wedding planning has changed me, but really, after some realization on my part, I really am still myself and she and I are just no longer compatible. I should NEVER have blamed anything on myself. Oh well.
ummm...good ques. I have to say yes, I do think to an extent I have changed. I am (believe it or not) less stressed out now. I have learned how to stand up to a few key ppl in my life (not in a bridezilla way) but more in a hey I'm not really down w/having my bridesmaids wear rainbow color dresses w/platforms shoes!
I, like most of the other ladies am not living in a bubble where I believe that my wedding is the end all & be all of existence.

i honestly do not think i have changed at all. though, the funny thing is...i think getting engaged has changed my relationships with people. i literally had someone say to me that the reason they had not been talking to me was because i was engaged now. for some reason, people seem to think that because i am now engaged that i am not capable of holding a conversation or socializing. it is RIDICULOUS!

Great question! No, in fact, i've been told that I take people's feelings and ideas into account TOO much and that I should just do what I want!!!
I feel the same way. I have always been that way. I have never liked to be the center of attention or be fussed over.

No, I don't feel like I have changed. I definitely don't think it is all about me. I know that it's our wedding, but I understand that everyone has their own life. Nobody has told me that I have changed either. I am definitely not going to be one of those bridezilla's who throws flowers on the ground and smashes cakes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
ITA, no one has told me i changed either.

I think I have changed. Although I stay true to myself, I have gained a new set of priorities and worries once that ring was slipped on my finger. Now instead of thinking about my future, I think about OUR future. As far as teh way otehrs perceive the engaged me, I have a mixed bag of reactions. I never throw anything in anyone's face, however I have been a little disconnected from the real world because of all the wedding planning... I guess you can't win them all.....

I never think anything is about me, and that has not changed. When asked, I'm more than happy to talk about the wedding, but I don't bring it up. I have not changed much as a person, but some behaviors have changed for the better. Fh and I now save all our money. Hope to continue this new habit. FH and I have been really planning everything together instead of me taking the lead all the time, which is a great switch.

Yay Katie congrats on being BOTW this week, enjoy!!!
I dont think I have changed too much, hopefully! I mean I have a new project to work on (I always have to be working on something) so its sometimes all I talk about. FH and I's relationship has pretty much stayed the same too, sometimes we have to take a break from wedding planning though because it gets stressful!

Re: *<3* QOTD 8/17 *<3*
omg thats totally not me!!
i haven't really changed...my bridesmaids say im the nicest bride ever cuz i take their opinions into consideration with every step...
the only thing that I do think I have changed, (which i believe is for thebetter) is that i have learned to stand up for myself/put my foot down more with people...
