Sometime FH makes me want to....(LONG)

Original post by Lsorrent



Last night I was talking with him about how I had three things I wanted to get done over the summer: flowers, invites, HM.

Well invites are just about done, I got my quote, I'm just waiting for my proof in the mail.

Flowers though, as many of you know I'm using a friend to do my flowers. Well can I just say he s*cks at keeping in touch. When I met with him in the beginning of July, we said we'd meet again in the second week of August so he could make some samples. So I emailed him in the last week of July to see what day/time would work for him. No answer. Another email the first week of August. No answer. Another email on August 8. No answer. So the second week of August came and went with no response. Another email August 24.....no answer. My mom happened to run into his uncle the other night, and he's on vacation the past two weeks. So I'm like, ok that's fine, but what happened the two weeks before that???? So I still have yet to see any samples, and he's a teacher, so he goes back to work in a week.

I tell FH this and his response: 'Who cares???' I'm like what???? He says they're just flowers, no one pays attention to them, and we can figure them out closer to the wedding Then he says that if my friend doesn't come through, we'll just go to a different florist. I'm like 'they're all going to be a lot more expensive and will probably be booked by then!!!!' He tells me no one will even care if we just put a candle on each table......and he meant ONE candle.......


Then last night we're discussing HM. Looks like we're going on a European cruise instead of Australia. It just makes more sense and is a whole lot more feasible financially. Great! I tell him we need to speak with his parents (they're footing the bill for it). He's all 'don't worry about it,....we have time.' And I tell him that I wanted to have it booked by the end of the summer. What if prices go up? So he says then we'll figure something else out. He looks at me and says 'well it's just a vacation.......who cares where we go?' And of course I'm all 'just a vacation??? It's our HM!!!!'


Then he says to me....'what are you so worried about....we've got plenty of time and everything's done' WHAT??? Everything's done???

I swear, sometimes he just makes me want to

lollllllll loveeee your pixxxx with ur posts!!!

1st off a biggggggg hug to you!!!

ok.. now back to business..

is it even worth going through a friend for flowers?? if hes causing u THIS much stress, its not worth it..unles sof course ur saving thousands. if its a couple of hundred.... go somewhere else with a CONTRACT. i hardly ever mix business with friends/family.

as far as vacation goes, hes right. u have PLENTY of time. cruises will go down in price then up then go REAAAAAAAALLLL down. if i were you, id focus more on the airfare, not the cruise. monitor it for MONTHS, youll eventually know whhen a good time to book will be.

ill tell u a lil secret that im NOT telling my fh..

we booked a cruise for this thanksgiving week about 3 weeks ago. im like babee its cheapp, lets book now.. thanksgiving break- its deff guna book up!!!..

wellllllllll i just checked today..uhmm.. it went down 120$ a person. OOOOOOOOOOPS. hopefully they will honor that price, since we didnt pay in full yet(ill find out tomorrow)

but do nottttttttt stress about your honeymoon. flowers u should. not because of timing, but because hes a friend and hes giving u a hard time.

also, why do u need your fh for everything/?lol he thinks everythign is done, and its not. sooooo just do everything yourself. if he has a problem say 'well u thought everything was done, so why do u care that i went ahead and did...............'

Oh no no no, I don't need him for everything. But the HM I left as HIS job to do and he hasn't done it, at least not yet. Everything else I HAVE been doing on my own.....I was just venting to him last night and he only made it worse, lol. I don't make final decisions without running everything by him, but what I do is narrow things down and then give him a choice between two or three things But for the most part, I'm doing this all on my own.

Again, I was just venting to him, and he only made it worse. Hence why I wanted to strangle him, lol.

Oh and as for flowers, yes I'm saving thousands. I'm getting EVERYTHING at wholesale price, and he has no overhead costs. It's a BIG difference. He's reliable and I know he'll do a great job, he's just a PITA to get in touch with.
