one more...

do you have anyone in your bridal party who is single and you feel bad being so wedding obsessed?

I have a cousin who is newly single (older then me) and very bitter. She looks at me like she wants to kill me every time I made a wedding comment...

to make matters worse on mothers day my uncle says to me... tell your cousins (all unmarried) your secret... as if I have some secret to getting engaged that no one else has...

Re: one more...

Yup. Actually 2. Both BM's. One is FSIL, and the other is a friend of ours. FSIL broke up from a serious relationship a few years ago and hasn't found anyone else yet. It's upsetting because she's older than FH and he's getting married before her.

Our friend is a whole other story. She was kind of in the same situation as me. She was with her BF for 11 years. She always figured they would get married. Well they moved in together in August, and he broke up with her in October Let's just say the guy was a major a$$. So she had to end up moving back home and get over an 11 year relationship at 27 years old. She's still working on getting over it, and unfortunately the couple of guys she had dated since then have also turned out to be losers. I feel terrible b/c all of our friends are couples that are either engaged or married already, then there's her. But she's really being a trooper.

Re: one more...

Yes, I do. But honestly, I only talk about the wedding with one of my MOH's. I send them updates on things that involve them but I really don't give them details about my planning.

Everyone keeps telling my cousins they should hang out with me and maybe they'll find someone soon. I have older cousins who are single and I don't want to make them feel bad when I talk about wedding things. So I let them bring up the topic before I start going on and on about my wedding.

Re: one more...

I have one BM like that... she just got out of a 6 year relationship... but she is only 23! Plus, she was with a deadbeat @ss so she shouldn't have wasted that many years lol. She can get over it. I don't feel bad about obsessing, but I would if my girls were in a different situation (ie: older)

Re: one more...

i actually talked to FH about this...it actually came down to me not asking a girl to be my BM bc she was constantly fighting with her boyfriend bc they werent engaged and they arent getting married and i told FH that i didnt really want to be around that at this time in my life..i didnt want to have to watch what i said around her while im planning my wedding just to try to not get her upset!

3 of my girls are single but they don't care about my wedding talk, though I do keep it to a minimum usually. Thats what LIW is for

Re: one more...

my MOH called off her wedding back in August... they RECENTLY started 'hanging out' again, they were civil, but now their more 'couple-y'... but for a while I felt like even though she was helping me.. she was upset and I didn't know what to say to her... but so far things are working out great!

Re: one more...

2 of my 5 girls are single and I don't feel bad talking to them about the wedding because they both love talking about it! One of them is my close friend from college who has already been a BM in about 10 weddings (and I am not exagerrating - she seriously has a closet full of BM dresses like 27 dresses). She is a wealth of info for me and has helped me so much so far! As for the other, it is FSIL who is still in college. She is the type of girl who has been dreaming about her wedding since she was a kid - so she LOVES talking about it and helping me in any way that she can. I am so lucky to have these two in my bridal party! As for the other 3 - one lives in CA (MOH), one in FL and one in England. Ugh - so its hard to plan with the 3 that don't live in the area (not that I am epecting them to at all)...

Re: one more...

The majority of my BP is single. I don't really go on and on about the wedding though, so I don't think they really care. Plus the majority of my BMs are like 22 and aren't rushing anywhere, so I don't think they would care even if I did gush.

Re: one more...

Both of my cousins are single and one of my friends... but my friend is more wedding obsessed than I am!! She is like super bridesmaid!!! I love it!

What is funny is that my sister who is my MOH is the only one who refuses to talk about weddings until it gets closer!! She keeps telling me I'm going ot rush through the planning and have nothing left to do for the next year and a half!!! She's probably right!!!

jlt2010 Posted: May 15, 2009 12:09 AM

Re: one more...

my MOH is single but only because she choses to be so she doesn't mind the wedding talk.

one of my BM however has been dating her bf for 5 years now and have been talking about getting married since before I started dating FH. the problem is that he never proposed to her because he's financially unstable. she's bitter about my getting married before her and definitely shows it.
