In all honesty.... My mother... shes involved but only to a point. FH and i have bought almost everything wedding related but because I do not have an actual engagement ring, she will not be in it 100%. My mom and I are best friends so to me, its hurtful. Ive spoken to her about it too and she said it just doesnt seem real until I have the ring...
however, buying cabinets, flooring, a bed, wedding favors, engagement party cards, and favors.... thats fake?
Fazz,
My mom has kinda of been the same way. She says its just too far to seem real. When ever I bring up the wedding, she changes the subject. Its hurtful, but it is what it is. We're really close too, and Im her only daughter and her youngest. So I don't know. I try not to think about it too much. When she finally decides to wake up and realize that the wedding is happening, and wants to get involved, she will relieze that the planning is done, and everyone else besides her knows about the details, she will be hurt and there will be nothing at all I can do about that. I tried.

So far my mother has aggravated me beyond belief.... Never thought she would be that way... But I think she finally got the hint to chill out....
I wish one of my friends was more involved... Heck, she doesnt even call me anymore...

Re: QOTD 1/28/08....
they are one in the same--my moh. i stopped talking to her about the wedding bc she keeps talking about having her own wedding --she's not engaged or divorced yet, btw--a few weeks before mine and tends to monopolize conversations about wedding planning. this started to really upset me, so rather than make a huge deal out of it, i just started avoiding the conversation.
on the other hand, she's my best friend and i wish we could talk about it.

I wish my MOH was more involve and excited about the wedding... but I thinks is because she still young in spirit (the type that only want to travel and drink parties at college) and also because she is OOT I wish she get more involve but at the same time I dont see anyone else been next to me that day... we grew up together and everytime I need someone to listen to me she is there...

I cant say anyone has be annoying just yet but, people have said little things here and there. For more involvement I wish my MOH and BMs were. I also wish FH would help alittle more then just the final decision but, then again he knows I'll end up doing it my way some how.

No one is too involved. My mom is my unofficial wedding planner and usually she's a control freak, but we haven't disagreed on anything yet.
My SIL, also a BM, seems so blah about the wedding and was visibly peeved when I didn't make her MOH (She wasn't into the wedding before that either, which factored into my MOH decision). It's just annoying that she has to be jealous rather than just happy for me.

I wish my sister was here to help but she's in NC. No one really bothers me that I wish wouldn't though - I guess I'm lucky!

i wish that FH was more into planning. He trusts my judgement and ideas (which is great) but everytime i try to talk about the wedding, he like blanks...its a little annoying!

Re: QOTD 1/28/08....
My BM's aren't local. One is in Queens (not far but she doesn't have a car and it's not very convenient for me to constantly have to pick her up and drop her off at the train and our schedules just don't match up), one lives on LI but is upstate finishing her Masters, and the other lives in PA. I wish they would offer to be more involved and be more excited. This engagement was highly anticipated as much to them as it was me and now that it's happened, I feel like that's it. I guess it's hard though. I am the first out of our 'group' to have a long term relationship and to be engaged. I feel like if it were one of them I'd be more bridesmaidish. I don't know.
My FMIL is pretty cool about the wedding. We live upstairs from her and FFIL. So, when we finish looking at places we go downstairs and show her the info and stuff. But, when she has ideas, they are pretty cheesy and tacky and I'm finding it to be harder and harder to have enthusiasm when she has an idea. Oh well, I guess it's better than her not trying to be involved!

Annoying = FH's parents b/c they think EVERYTHING is a waste of $$$$ and I'm like 'You aren't paying for anything why do you care'
More Involved = Best Man (FH's ONLY brother)....he keeps saying he has our 'gift' from the engagement party (aug 11th) and I haven't seen it.

FH's father! I love him but his parents had a bad divorce so when Chris told him we were getting married he made a comment like 'You're screwed.' SO ANNOYING!!! His father is remarried so I don't understand what the problem is here. And he is closer with his father than his mother.
His mother who is great to me [FH is still a little mad at her about the divorce], she is so excited and so involved.
he gives me butterflies

so far so good! my moms not too into the planning, she loves my ideas, but cannot sit down and go through stuff. she likes the final product or when i narrow down choices. she said she cant wait until we have a house, she said she'll be super involved with decorating, she lieks that kind of stuff!

Re: QOTD 1/28/08....
My Mom and I have gotten into a few arguments over the wedding. When my sister got married she let my Mom dictate a lot of how things would be run and that doesn't fly with me, so she needs to realize it sooner or later.
