I hate those "Bridezillas", but it's amazing what can cause a woman to go all nuts while planning a wedding. Here is a glimpse into my first and hopefully *knock on wood* only breakdown.
About 3 weeks before we got engaged my baby sister got engaged. I was so excited about my news, but knew that the right thing to do was to ask her if she'd start planning yet. It just seems like "proper bridal etiquette" to see if she'd chosen her date or even season yet. She responded with no, they've not talked about it, but she had just found out she was pregnant. So I announced our engagement and started planning for January of 2013. We made sure we shared this with everyone.
Nik went through a rough time and lost her baby. And my heart broke for her and her fiance. We've been there and it's so painful and hard to rebound from.
So Friday I received a text message from my sister asking what date we had picked. We've been aiming for the second and third weekends of January 2013. We've been waiting to look at halls until we had a headcount and the holidays were over. So I told her again what we've been aiming for. And asked if she'd chosen her date...
January 19th....
WTF?!?!
Really? What year? Apparently they want to have a small ceremony in 2012, and a "real wedding" in 2013. First of all I do NOT understand this 2 wedding thing. We've put ours off for a year so we can have the money to have ONE wedding. Second who does that to a sister? Even if the weddings end up a week apart, that's a little ridiculous. I spent most of Friday in tears, wondering why she would do this. She said she hopes it "doesn't cause any issues"...
Well I found my backbone and stood up for myself. I refuse to change my plans because she's inconsiderate. I'm heartbroken that this is happening, but I will NOT let it ruin my day.
Dear Future Mrs. Kleinbriel, That is right stand up for yourself. This is not in any way a " bridezilla trate. I have seen many in action and you are NOT one of them. Happy planning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim! I felt relived to stand up and put my foot down. She's moved her wedding to December, so it will be a few weeks before. I guess I was more upset that for once in my life I wanted to be the complete center of attention. But in all honesty all that matters is I (WE) get the Dream Wedding that I (WE) want. So here I go!
