QOTD | 10.5.13

They say weddings bring out people's true colors...or is it that weddings bring out the worst in people. However the saying goes, I have definitely witnessed friendships ending and fights brewing because of a wedding!

Have any you experienced that yet in the wedding planning? Is there someone who is giving you a hard time?

Luckily so far, no friendships have failed or fights brewed...but I will say over the summer someone got upset they weren't going to be in the wedding party. It was baffling because this person isn't like a lifelong friend or anything. But it just goes to show you can't please everyone.

i feel that a couple of my bridesmaids leave something to be desired. people like to think it's about them all the time, but this is my turn.

also, FIL's aren't the most enthusiastic supporters of the wedding, so that has been wearing on me a lot.

FMIL is an absolute nightmare. First, she wanted to wear a white dress to my wedding, and when my mom said no she said 'she forgot it was just for the bride'. She actually said that if FH invites his father she won't go to the wedding. She's been my only source of issues, but she's given me enough so far to make up for everyone else!

Re: QOTD | 10.5.13

Yes, I have. It's really not fun. Weddings can taint relationships with people.

Luckily I haven't experienced any negativity from anyone. In fact, a lot of people have surprised me in the way they have stepped up.

I thought I was the only one who had FILs that weren't 'party people' (which is my FH's excuse for their lack of enthusiasm.)

I'm also a little bummed with one of my bridesmaids. We have been best of friends for 10 years now and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding and totally involved. She has been VERY disinterested in my relationship, let alone my wedding :(

She's only been around FH 3 times. It bums me out and I really am having a hard time with it.

FIL's just don't seem to have any interest .... i suppose because the wedding doesn't directly involve them. i'm not sure. and i feel you about the bridesmaid ... I don't know why a couple of mine seem so disinterested, particularly when I have always been supportive of them. but, as i always say ... people are selfish.

One of my sister is going to stress me big time over the next year, I can already tell. I have three sisters, all of them are in my bridal party. But one of them is just one of those people who makes EVERYTHING about them. The day I got engaged, all she had to say was that my ring looked like hers. The only reason I asked her to be in the wedding is because she's my sister and I felt obligated. Hopefully the other two can keep her in check for the next year!!

My FIL's are not supporters either. They are not interested in talking about the wedding ever and I found out yesterday they're only inviting 25 people because they don't want to burden people. .....ugh so weird and disheartening

My best friend is in the wedding party and can tend to be difficult, and sometimes too much. I'm just hoping that once I pick out the bridesmaid dresses that she doesn't make it too difficult.... The extra stress is not needed!!

I haven't lost any friends or anything, but I've definitely been a bit disappointed with everyone's enthusiasm a bit. I sent an email to the girls a while ago asking for their size and $$ to order their dresses by the end of October (we are all long distance). No one replied, and no one has emailed me back with questions, comments, excitement, or anything. Now I feel like I need to send a reminder email and that alone makes me sad. Oh well.

i am in the SAME EXACT boat. they only gave me 20 people. i feel like they have no interest in having anyone at the wedding. they NEVER bring up the wedding unless someone else does first. it makes me so mad.

It used to upset me but now I just can't care anymore. If this is how they want to be then that's fine but they better not have anything to say if something doesn't go the way they want!

I got very luck with FH immediate family, they are like my own and we have a great relationship.

I haven't had any issues with anyone in my BP but I do have one person that has made comments that I've found to be rude and inappropriate. However, coming from her it wasn't surprising. I just brush it off and came to the realization that she's just jealous that it's not her time yet and I will still be happy for her when her time does come along.
