People not that excited for you

Do you just feel that the people you want the most to be excited are just not that excited for you?

Like today i told my mom my dress came in and she just said oh yea and if i'm going to try it on. That's it!! I just felt like damn if she doesn't care who does then.

ETA:At least FH said that it is becoming so real and that i'm going to be his bride

I feel ya! I try to just remind myself that no one will ever care about our wedding as much as we do.

Yup so true.The only people who are happy for the little things you do is basically your LIW girls . No one really cares.

The thing that really annoys me is when people get on me all the time to set up wedding appointments and make decisions and tell me I need to do this and that, and then when I do make the decisions and get stuff nobody seems interested in it...it's frustrating and stressful!

So true!! Or they ask you questions about what you did or what you got but they ask you so disinterested that you feel like they don't even care.

The only person I expect to be as excited as I am is my FH..

At first I was paying so much attention to everyone else's reactions and responses-then I realized that whats most important is Me and FH..
We don't let anyone rain on our parade
Everyone else can be surprised with all the details.

I totally know what you mean!!!

That's why I am so happy I have you girls to share with -- if I had to rely on the friends I have at home, I'd be sad all the time and think I'm crazy for being as excited about our wedding as I am.

But really, I know I'm not! I'm a normal, happy bride!!! Just like all of you!!

i know exactly how u feel,dont worry sometimes people just dont get excited till right before

and so cute what fh said

Gloria,
I feel you 110%! My Mom has been the biggest surprise to me, I think for her it comes down to money and she's never really been to a wedding like mine before. It's a cultural/economic issue. Thank God for LIW!

I love Mirabella's advice, very true. I'm TOTALLY excited that your dress is in! We share this with you...trust, she will be excited to see you in it. It will all come together.

Hahahaha!

Yup! Some people who aren't excited are actually surprising and others who are excited are people I would think wouldn't be.

My grandmother doesn't let me or my mother talk about wedding planning when she's around. Problem is... I don't see my mother that often... so when I do it's like a holiday or something and the grandmother (picture a cross between flowers in the attic and the grandmother on gilmore girls) is around... you get yelled at if you bring it up. My mom always has questions and things she wants to know about...but if we talk about it we get yelled at from the drill sargent! It's sooo ridiculous! Imagine being told what you can and cannot talk about?!?!?!

My grandmother also was ADAMENT about my mother NOT coming dress shopping with me!!! What is that about?!?!? My mother of course came anyway and pretty much was just like 'too bad, I'm going'. My grandmother is STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now she doesn't want me to go dress shopping with her or my mother. She's a nut job!!!

Then my friend Jackie, who is also a BM... she's sooo not girly at all and I would think she couldn't care less about the wedding... she's all into it. And just always says things like 'whatever you want... it's all for you guys... I'll do whatever, I'll wear whatever'... but most of all she's genuinely EXCITED about the whole thing. I don't think I have a friend who is more excited than she is. Not even my MOH or another BM who is a really long time friend of mine (since we were about 7 or 8... we are 28/29 now!). It's interesting.

People that I thought would be super excited for me are the complete opposite.. but suprisingly, people that I never expected to even care have been so great and so supportive. People surprise you, its life, but dont let it get you down, not during this very exciting time for you.

I was very upset about the people i thought didnt care at first but then I realized I was wasting time and energy on it for no reason, all that matters is how excited FH and I are.

Girls in my bridal party couldnt give a sh*t what is going on. I had to order their dresses for them because noone but my MOH showed up... if you asked them they couldnt tell you what my dress looked like, what my wedding colors are, where im registered etc.. they just do not care. I was one of my BM's MOH two years ago and did EVERYTHING with her and for her. We had so much fun, now its my turn and she is no where to be found. I am ok with it tho, wedding planning helps you gain clarity into who your real true friends are and the ones that care. My sister (MOH) has been there for everything and is so excited and I never expected it. I am so happy I was able to see this side of her!
