Re: Friend Complaint

I would say somthing to her, so then she knows how you feel maybe she thinks she is being help full

Re: Friend Complaint

either don't bring up the wedding with her

or if she trys to bring up something- say thanks but I got it covered

weddings certainly bring out the best in people

Re: Friend Complaint

We've all got at least one!!!!! I have a cousin who didn't even invite me to her wedding but persists on telling me what I should do and gives me unsolicited advice. I know she thinks she's helping so I try to be nice, but I really don't want to hear it.

This is definitely a good motto!!!

Best thing to do is just say things are coming along and keep it at that. I've noticed the less you say the better.

Does anyone have a friend already married that gives unsolicited wedding advice and negative comments on everything.
Like she had a dj and she keeps telling me to use an ipod for the reception.

Also I should make my own centerpieces beacuse she did that.

You should just get your cake at the grocery store, nobody cares anyway and it is a waste of money.

I can't deal with her, I have stopped telling her anything about my wedding and avoid the conversation.

It sounds like she's trying to relive her wedding experiences vicariously through you! And using an ipod for your wedding? What kind of advice IS that? I'd keep avoiding the conversation and, if she persists, tell her point blank that you appreciate her input but would like her to be a bit more supportive if possible. Hang in there!

Re: Friend Complaint

She sounds like she is trying to sabotage your wedding-is she the type that would do that?

Re: Friend Complaint

Re: Friend Complaint

I find that everyone has a comment about weddings and are not ashamed to share them positive or negative!

Re: Friend Complaint

my older sister is like that! And the reason being -- they don't want us to OUT DO them! They want their wedding to be the best and they don't want anyone to top it with something similar, different or even better!

I say your day your way ! Don't let it get to you!

Re: Friend Complaint

Re: Friend Complaint

Yup! I have learned........

When you are planning a wedding everyone is a wedding coordinator.

When you are having a baby everyone is a doctor.

And

When you are buying a house everyone is a retailer!
