Things I have learned to live with since I started planning this wedding

1) Not everyone shares my happiness, some people are down right mean and envious

( $crew 'em )

2) It's ridiculous to have a budget. It only works if it's a large budget or one is anal retentive.

3) Everything costs more when you are getting married.

4) My mom wants to wear white to our wedding.
( I really don't care but other people do, I wish they would shut up)

5) My FH leaving his mother is equivalent to a divorce.

6) I now know what a bustle is.

7) Just because it costs more, doesn't mean it classier

8) No matter how much weight I lose I will never be happy with how I look in my dress

9) Everyone I know wants to come to our wedding. But why?

10) People who have had a reception think their recpetion was perfect. Maybe I will too!

Your list is excellent. I feel the same about many of the statements on your list.

I think all of our FMILs should get together and form a First Wives Club. Then they can be horrible b!tches together.

VERY TRUE!!

I would only add that everyone who's booked a wedding vendor insists that their vendor is the absolute best (I just nod in agreement to get them to stop talking about their vendor...there are plenty of great vendors out there)

I totally agree with everything thats been stated so far... esp this one about the vendors!

my FMIL and yours should get together

i am sure my FMIL would either bore her to tears with her monotonous banter or talk religion and politics and get it all heated!

I am a democrat and she is a die hard, Bush lovin' member of the GOP republican!

HOO AWWW

My FMIL would adore her she is a republican as well and I am a democrat . gag, I walk out of the room when she goes on her uneducated tirades, I can't take it . religion, a whole other ball game, since I am not jewish enough for her son ( i am 100% jewish , go figure)

They can have a pity party and discuss their awful DIL 's who stole their babies from them .

Alll true!!!

FH has learned (and says it often)

'everything on this safarri costs twice as much as expected'

(from vacatiion or one of those 80s movies)

I agree with the not looking good in the dress thing..i've seen size 00 brides look awesome and still find problems w/ themselves..its a girl thing

Re: Things I have learned to live with since I started planning this wedding

I absolutely love it!

Only thing that's not true is the FH leaving his mom is like a divorce- FH was living away from his parents so for them it's not a big deal...
