How many of you have a 'debbie downer' when it comes to wedding planning? Somebody who is constantly making snide or negative comments on anything related to your wedding?? And how do you deal?? I'm at my wits end with a certain someone....And I already try to keep contact to a minimum, and through FH.

Re: Hi girls!! Question for you....

Their is one person who is anti-marriage, I speak in front of her when I want and just try to ignore her the best I can even tho it is hard.

Re: Hi girls!! Question for you....
No one is a downer...but my sister and MOH is was not into lots of planning for her wedding, and she sometimes says, 'it's so far away, why are thinking about this now?' I thankfully have bm's that are totally into planning...but it would be nice if it wasn't also like 'it's almost two years away!!'

My FMIL says the same about it being so far away to start planning

I agree, I've learned not to talk about it unless I'm asked. Stay strong.

I have a few, but I honestly don't let them get me down. These are also the people who will ask me about my plans and have nothing nice to say about them.

Re: Hi girls!! Question for you....
One of my BM's doesn't like to dress up, so she's been very critical of the BM dresses that I have chose for them to wear. I really just ignore her. She shouldn't be like that. In anyway. And my mom-zilla is just a pain. To fix that problem, I hired a D.O.C so I don't stress the day of (which the stress will be mostly from her). Just remember its your day and you are allowed to be a little selfish. :)

Re: Hi girls!! Question for you....
No debbie downers in my life thankfully. I only talk about my wedding to the bridal party and not even really with them that much (mostly my FH hears about it). What ever you do, just enjoy this time because there will always be people out there like that and the best revenge is for people to see how you're living and if you are happy, then it's like a slap in their face.

Re: Hi girls!! Question for you....
i dont have that problem but if i did i just wouldnt talk to them about it. if they cant be happy for you then why tell them your plans?

I am in the exact same situation - and it's pretty hard actually. Especially because I am an only child and I want to make my mother happy - so many people have said to me 'its your wedding - do it the way that you want to do it and don't let negative people affect you' So, since I started listening to that advice (as of this past weekend), I have been a lot less stressed...
Basically - try to not let it affect you (although I know it is real hard)
