what my MOH made for me.... (with a pic)

I know it's been done before, but at a party last night my MOH presented me with a basket of candles along with 'The Candle Poem' and read it out loud in front of my FH and girlfriends It was so sweet and I got really choked up! She also used blue and white in the basket which are my colors. Just thought I'd share!!




A basket of candles that come in a pair
In all different colors, for you two to share
The white ones burn first
They are wrapped in white lace
To celebrate your first married night
In your new chosen place.
The green pair is taller, and also much thinner
Burn with the first company, you have over for dinner.
The dark blue candles are for after your first fight
Use them to burn while making up all night.
Pink candles set the mood and pave the way
For your first married Valentine’s Day.
Now, when your first year of marriage is through
The cream anniversary pair, will light for you two.
Red candles aflame, both your futures are bright
Celebrate promotions you’ve worked toward with all of your might.
By this time we hope, maybe, just maybe
You can light the purple ones, on the birth of your baby.
And just when you thought you’d put these away
Take the light blue ones out-for your fifth anniversary day.
Now just one more pair left - for the big 2 5
The anniversary pair that will keep your love alive.
Congratulations cathleen and Marc
On the start of your forever
May the two of you always be happy together
And burn these candles
Just the way we said
But please don’t forget-blow them out before bed!

That is the sweetest thing!

My MOH is going through a bitchy period which she sometimes does... so i don't expect anything at all from her.. and I sometimes question if I made a mistake... we haven't spoken in a few days.

Believe me, I know EXACTLY how you feel. This was really unexpected. We go thru bouts where we don't talk for a week or so (it's also early in the wedding planning period). I wouldn't worry about it -- sometimes people get wrapped up in their lives and sorta drop off the face of the earth. hey, you might be pleasantly surprised! just try to focus on the reasons why you asked her in the first place.

Thank you sooo much for this! I try to get her involved and help her bc I know she will have a lot of planning to do.. so I will tell her about LIW and her response is.. i don't do those things... I brought her dress shopping with me... and she took out her laptop and had this nasty face on the whole time (which I can only describe as.. it looks like someone was dangling poop under her nose)... my other BM went over to her while I was in the dressing room (ignoring her nasty face and fowl attitude the whole time) and said something to her. My mother even commented on it too. At first she was all nice and sweet and happy and now it's a total 180! I don't get it.. and I am not the type of person to harp on it too much.. if that's how she is going to be.. I can cut her out and not talk to her just as long as she does it to me.. you know? I don't have a problem switching things around at the end either... if that's what her actions show me that what else can I do. The point of the day is the marriage and love between FH and I... so I try really hard to not let this situation get the best of me. So far I've done good. We haven't spoken in like a week. I sent her 2 texts that she never responded to .. and she never even asked what we were doing for new years.. never ... didn't even wish us one.. nothing. So the way I see it.. I made the last 2 contacts and she failed to respond.. ball is in her court so we shall see what happens. Whichever way... it's not the end of the world.. things will still be fine and the day will still be beautiful. Sooooo sorry for the rant on someone else'se post about something else. OMG I so rude... I do appologize. But my chest does feel a lil better to get that out. sorry again!

Don't apologize!!!! Awww I am so sorry you are going through this when it should be such happy times for you. Is your MOH married? Engaged? Single? My MOH is in a long-term committed relationship (longer than my FH and I have been together) and I sensed that she was a little sad when we got engaged before she did. So I just make an effort to talk to her about non-wedding things. I hope your MOH comes around and gets past whatever she's going through and can share in your joy. If she doesn't reach out to you in a few weeks do your best to have lunch or drinks with her one-on-one and talk to her. Maybe she's going thru something difficult that you're unaware of. Otherwise don't let it get to you. WORST CASE SCENARIO I'm sure you have another BM that would love to be your MOH (knowing your situation). Good luck and just try to stay happy! I focus on how happy I am with FH when wedding crap gets to me.

She is anal and likes to shuffle things around a whole lot and sit home and do nothing.. and she gets jealous when i have other friends or want to go out and do things... but i can't change who i am or what i want to go bc of her. I barely ever talk about the wedding to anyone.. i get all that out on LIW! Unless someone asks me about it.. i dont go out of my way to blab about it.. i know that could be annoying. Sometimes i might bring it up if i am going to an appt or just booked something big like a dj. She is single and overweight and i think a lil depressed over it. Im sure most of her problems are internal and i know i havent done anything wrong to her... so i have no guilt which is why i am more carefree about it.. but i am a lil hurt and worried and i do wonder about it... and most of all i just wish she would go back to how she was like 6 months ago and not be sooo darn angry!

Thanks again. You are too sweet!
