Re: need to vent....again

Wow, I decided not to have an engagement party b/c we only got engaged on xmas and i thought it would be too much to have an e-party and then a wedding within months of each other, especially with the expense of the wedding, I thought it would be too much money.
Sorry you have to go through all the drama

Re: need to vent....again

sorry to be rude but don't you think you are being a bit of a brat. What if you were in that situation wou;dn't you want to have all the things that go along with a wedding, including a eparty I am sure if money is tight theya re not goig to be upset if you can not bring a gift. If it was me I would calm down, last year I attended several weddings for many importnat people in my life and I did not think it was rude of them to have e party, shower and wedding, that is part of the wedding planning process!!!

Re: need to vent....again

i dont think you are being a brat, these are your natural reactions and you are entitled to them. i personally dont see the need for an e-party 3 months before the wedding (its only 3 months, right?). you cant control the decisions other people make, so i suggest trying not to think about what they are doing and when they are doing it bc its not anything that you personally can change. good luck~lacey

Re: need to vent....again

I am not trying to cause trouble but I have experienced a similar situation in the past, so let me ask you this is your biggest gripe that having the wedding so close to yours that it will impact your gifts? Also if you are so close than why are are you upset rather than happy for them?

Re: need to vent....again

wow i cant believe that is happening to you! maybe you should sit down with your parents are let them see how upset you are

Re: need to vent....again

Sorry things are not working out. I have a wedding and bridal shower that weekend to go to.

Re: need to vent....again

I don't think you are being a brat at all! I would be annoyed too because it's so close to your own wedding and now you have to shell out more $$$ . I think if they made their wedding after yours, it wouldn't bother you as much, but it almost seems like they are trying to beat you to the punch

P.S. As a bride , you are allowed to be a brat once in a while

ok, not for nothing but i'm NOT being a brat about it. If if were you and someone you are very close with got engaged, then 3 weeks later is having an engagement party and then 2 1/2 months later is having a wedding is very rude of them. plus its very costly. Money is not their issue so they are definitely not on a budget. They just didnt think to consider other things that are going on during this timeframe which upsets me. Im sure someone else will agree with me that what has been done to me is hurtful.

I dont think you are being a brat it is a matter of consideration this family here not some people who had no idea when you are getting married. I agree !
