Lets discuss DRAMA. We all have it no matter how much we hate it. I found that my drama scale has significantly increased since i got engaged. I see some posts about drama, i hear some stories often, so share again today. Tell me your biggest drama story since you have been engaged. Who has shown their true colors or jealousy to you? Have you seen someones selfishness or lack of concern that you didn't expect it from? Do you FIL's cause drama or your own parents... ready GOOOO .
I will be back later tonight to announce the new BOTW. Its been real!

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
ohh my most recent drama would have to be...a close family member got engaged after me, didn't come to my e-party and is now having his wedding 2 weeks after mine, I'm really wondering if they will come to the wedding, it sucks cause I was looking foward to goin to his and having him at mine and now I'm going based on whether he comes to mine, cause mines first, and his fiancés a b itch so I don't think that will be happening.

FIL= DRAMA!! not just drama but DRAMA!!
I could go on and on with examples but basically everything roots from the fact that they are not paying for anything and at the same time they want to be included in EVERYTHING. And if that's not enough drama- when they aren't included in a decision they start rumors about dates/choices/etc. amongst friends and family about things that FH and I haven't even discussed yet!
I am going to play the blame game from now on. Blame game is when they ask you questions and just say 'Oh, idk my parents were deciding that' or 'Oh, idk I think (insert FH name here) was taking care of that' This way I don't have to take heat for anything I do. Sneaky... LOL
Over it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
Ohhh my list is long too and revolves around FMIL.
Background: FBIL is getting married in October, FH and I are getting married in January.
Well apparently she can only deal with one wedding at a time.
She has talked *%&$ about who we are inviting.
She happily payed for half of FSIL's shower. Has not made an ounce of effort to even be involved in mine.
She wants to wear purple to the wedding!! This really pisses me off because I told her I want my mother in purple.
They have not helped us out in any way.
We announce that we will be moving in together (into a basement apartment thanks to my grandparents) she goes out and finds FBIL an apartment, using her friends connections. Hello, we could have used those connections too!!!
ughhh I could write a book.

Honestly, I think I have been pretty lucky so far...no birdezilla moments due to drama...YET.
That being said, I'm finding the biggest issue is FIL's feeling 'left out' of things. I sometimes feel that whenever I do something new, or book a new vendor...it needs to be relayed to EVERYONE in the family or they feel like we don't care to include them. This is HIGHLY annoying to me. I don't feel like I have time to pull everyone aside just to tell them I booked a DJ, or I bought my garter, or whatever the situation is. That's why I have a wedding website!! But it has been an issue a few times and it drives me CRAZY!!

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
I expected a lot more drama than I'm having. I expected FMIL to be all up in the business, but she's been very chill and it's been amazing. It gives me a chance to WANT to go to her for advice and opinions, which is nice.
Honestly, the drama has been very minimal. It helps because I'm not a super perfectionst bride. I'm doing my planning and how things go is how things go. But FH's 3 cousins who are sisters are kind of... snotty. SO the only real drama was when the oldest one booked her baby's first birthday at my venue, which was ridiculous. They live in Brooklyn, there are 29846498327 other places in Brooklyn to do something like that, it didn't have to be at Russo's in Queens, KWIM? They never use Russo's for anything. And in the same room we're using. And at that party, neither of the other girls came over to me to wish me congratulations or ask to see my ring and I hadn't seen any of them yet since the proposal, so that was nasty. BUT I let it roll off cause a) they'renot MY family and b) I can't do anything about it. It's my day, it's gonna be awesome and that's it.

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
my drama would be with my mom. since we got engaged she has been on and off and sometimes doesn't seem to care there are alot but i rather not write sometime thing that i am going to have to delete so... our typical phone conversation goes something like this'
she and I want her to be involved i call to tell her about things that i am thinking of/ asking for advice she is barely listening ever on the other end of the phone because she is playing farm ville.
Me: 'what do you think i should do about this' there is silence on the other end just the sound of computer keys Me: 'mom, mom Mom MOm MOM hello????? Mother: 'what ?? oh &%^$ my chicken just ran away !!!' Me: 'Did you hear what i asked you? i really don't know what to do.' Mother: 'i have to clean my house' Me: call me later when your done with your Farmville Mother 'no no i am listening'
conversation repeats almost exactly as written above AGAIN
but i still love her ... she does it when i am standing in the same room as her too

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
Well Id have most of my stuff booked already if my mom was on board even 10%. shes insanely jealous of his family and she doesnt want me to spend any $. She told me to have a small dinner. If i cut off at 1st cousins we have 118 people. Thats not small and that leaves out lots of family friends.

Who has shown their true colors or jealousy to you? FSIL wants to be me LITERALLY.....anything i do she has to do, whatever i wear, she has to wear, to the point where we are at a restaurant adn she has to order the same food as me.
Do you FIL's cause drama or your own parents... ready GOOOO . ...FIL's do especially bc we live w/ them, they are always right.

Re: ~*~*~*~7/25~*~*~*~*
I've had alot of drama with some of the older women that I work with since they are all 50 and over. Befroe I got engaged they'd harrass me about when it was going to happen. Then when it finally did I had comments like 'you have to realize no one wants to hear about your wedding all the time'..and when I'd bring in my toasting flutes, sample invites to share there was always a negative comment. So one day I just went ape **** on the one who is really the worst about it I was screaming and hysterical crying like 'why can't you just be happy for me??!' It was a pretty great show if I do say so myself lol..but needless to say these women are supposed to be like my family, having worked with them for 11 years and my mom has worked for 30! They know me since I'm born!..I was brainwashed not to talk about my wedding for a year and a half..well guess what *******????!!!! I'm almost at 10 months away and that's all I'll talk about it I want!!!
