FMIL is driving me crazy :(

FMIL is driving me crazy :(

So for months now, I have been asking her to call the florist and the hair dresser that she said she knew, and find out if they can do the wedding.

I had to text her and call her everyday for a week just to get her to go and ask them. Now, i am still waiting on an answer from them. Apparently the florist said she would get back to her, and the hair dresser just had a baby (don't know why that would delay her answer, but whatever). That was over 2 months ago, and i have not heard anything still.

I have a childhood friend of my mother's who is willing to pay for the flowers for all of the bridal party since I was her flower girl. I would like to give her an esstimate on how much it will be. I just think its rude to keep her waiting. I know she doesn't have gobs and gobs of money, so I would like to be nice and give her a heads up on how much it will be.

After reading things on this board I am a little worried, my wedding is in December, and i know that it will be tough for me to find a decent hair stylist for all of us for December.

Sorry it's so long, i just wanted to make sure I got all of the information in there. I was firm with her last week and put my foot down about calling everyone , and she got snotty with me and told me that she was 'F'in busy...

Ughhhh am i running out of time?

oh noooo!!!! i thought u guys got along so well! lol..that's weddings for ya.

i wouldn't FIGHT with her about it..i would just once more explain why u need to know..tell her that u have a friend willing to pay for it which is going to be a tremendous help, but u dont wanna spring the cost on her last minute. TALK and be sweet lol ..and honestly, i'd just ask her for the number and take care of it myself. make it about her..tell her 'i know u've been SO(f-in) busy( ) so i'll take care of it that way i dont have to bug u'...she probably cave & feel bad & end up doing it...and if she doesnt atleast u'll have her contact info to get things done instead of going crazy & being given reasons to panic...

good luck!

We do get along well, it's just when things like this come up, she just doesnt care about it lol

I am a procrastinator till the day I die. But, when i know things that are so easy to do like a simple phone call, take like 5 minutes, i get them out of the way. I know that there is a deadline, and that the time slot that we have to book someone right now, is very small.

But, whatever...i just wanted to know if I am cutting it close or not. I am going to get a list of names of vendors from this board and online and see what they can do for me IF she doesn't come through.

Thanks :)

i would tell her nicely that you have to book these things - that it may seem like the wedding is far away but many things are booked over a year in advance - i would shop around now on your own and if you come across a deal you cant get over i would book it - good luck

Give her a nother call and tell her that this really has to get done- dates book up fast for weddings early- I have had my florist since last September. this way if there is any problem you may be able to find some else to work with- with in your price range- good luck!!

December is still a ways away but it will creep on you fast let me tell you that!

I would give your FIL one last call and tell her. I would go with the other vendors. I hate people who wait and wait when this should be up on top of their list!!!
