happy friday!!!!......todays qotd is.............When u got engaged were was there ne one close to u that u felt wasnt being sincere with their excitement for ur engagement and if so did this reflect them being in ur wedding?????
One of my best friends didnt seem like she was 'really' happy for me getting engaged...she actually seemed quite fake about it....because of this im debating having her in my wedding...i still havent gotten the feeling that shes happy for me almost 9 months after....who knows at this point , only time will tell if her attitude will change

Re: QOTD 2/22
I'm the first of my friends getting married - so I don't think they've had time to formulate a response to a close friend getting engaged. A couple were extremely excited but now that the dust has settled they couldn't care less about the wedding. A couple weren't excited at all, or it didn't appear that way. I know these are my close friends so they're going to be in the wedding either way, but I wish they'd be a little happier for me (or at least appear to be on the surface).

Re: QOTD 2/22
I honestly can't think of anyone who wasn't excited at the time. But now I have a friend who is more caught up with other things and I wish she would call more often and be more involved. But we have been having some problems....

Re: QOTD 2/22
I was just about to say no but I just remembered, my cousin (who I used to be really close to) just turned around and said 'you both are pretty young aren't you?' (she's only 2yrs older than me), her brother yelled at her for saying that. I think it was a jealousy thing, because she never really said anything more and only looked at my ring because my grandma told her to. It didn't bother me though, she's the kind of person that thinks everyone hates her and her life s u c k s so she wont be happy for anyone else, so it didn't bother me at all. I probably would have been surprised if she had actually been excited!

Re: QOTD 2/22
Not really anyone I was close too, but a coworker (male) made a comment about my ring, I guess it wasn't big enough for him and he made some snide comment. It actually took me a minute to comprehend what he said and then after I thought about it I was like what a di**! He's 30 something and never really had a serious relationship so I just brushed it off because he is just bitter that he is a lonely a$$ and come to think of it no one I work with even likes him! L-o-s-e-r!

Re: QOTD 2/22
No, not that I can think of. Everyone was really excited and most people actually said 'It's about time!', it was kinda getting on my nerves after a while.

Re: QOTD 2/22
My suppossed MOH would act like she cared about the engagemnt in the very beginning and now she hasnt talked to me in months.... I'm tired of tryin to make the effort and get into contact with her so i think shes cut completely... makes me sad but in my eyes, you're being a duchebag to me so nice knowing ya ... shame but i made the effort...

Re: QOTD 2/22
Oh goodness..yes my sister and my cousin. My sister is just very into her own life. She has been going through a divorce and is dating someone new so shes all into that...my cousin has been single for a while and I think was a little sad that she didnt get engaged first...we will see how things turn out. Its hard...you want to be so excited about your wedding but when the people who are supposed to be supporting you arent happy for you, it snot so fun.

On the surface everyone seemed happy and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Re: QOTD 2/22
I had a guy friend who I no longer speak to. I'll call him J. Anyway, J and I have been friends for about 7 years. He always had this huge crush on me and used to flirt and I was like ewww, go away. But we remained friends. Anyway, I started dating FH and J hated him. He acted like he was better than him but in reality he was just jealous.
So fast forward to November 2007. We're engaged and J gave me a flat 'congratulations' on the phone. Needless to say, he was a major **** to me and we don't speak anymore. We had a falling out about a month ago and I am happy he is not in my life anymore. I don't need negative people that are not going to be happy for me.

Re: QOTD 2/22
My SIL...When I came back to NJ after getting engaged she didn't say a word. It wasn't until my mom said something about the wedding that she said 'oh yeah congratulations' with a total lack of sincerity and enthusiam. I felt obligated to have her in my BP, but while I was originally entertaining the idea of having 2 MOH (my 2 SILs) this just made me throw that idea out the window and I only chose my other SIL, who was (and is) so excited and sincere.

Re: QOTD 2/22
I think the people who are really important to me seemed genuinely happy for me. Of course, there are annoying people at work (I work with a bunch of older male doctors) who make their comments about me being too young, or not knowing what I am doing, or who actually have the nerve to question FH's financial status. These people don't really know us and don't really matter! What really matters is that FH and I are happy.

Re: QOTD 2/22
I actually had two friends that seemed less then sincere about their excitement but I proceeded to ask them both anyway. Long story short I had to actually ask one of them to step down from the role of bridesmaid.
