If we can make AJ win, I will publicly disown my previous position and concede that Chili can have beans.

I think that is fair. I will make it happen. Sort of. I just agreed to concede that chili can HAVE beans. Not that it is vegetarian. But video it shall be.

Sigh.. I know how you feel. The guy I've been seeing texted me at 5:30 am... He's been acting soo differently the passed few weeks but I've been patient. He apolgized saying that he's not the person I would want to be with... he said he has many flaws such as depression and low self esteem that gets in the way of him expressing how he feels to me. He went on to say that I'm a bright person with an amazing future ahead... he doesn't think he's the right person for me because he needs to continue to work on himself to be the best that he can be. He said he doesn't understand his life right now or in the future.. but he's up to talk sometime next week.... I'm heartbroken and not sure what to do... such a crappy day.. I've been crying throughout 🙁

As opposed to mine who just brought it up out of nowhere. I though things were going great. Then he drops that bombshell on me and says he doesn't even want to do casual because he's worried about stringing me along.

It's his loss, I'm sure a great individual and deserve a much better guy. Trust me I know it hurts. I cried my eyes out the majority of the day yesterday and didn't have it in me to study. It will get better. Guys just suck...

Why renting a car after age 21 but before age 25 costs so much more It's not like I'm going to get better at driving by this point...

Simple. Just become an EMT. they'll let you drive a rental without the extra fees. Apparently if you're trusted to drive a giant bus of a vehicle with people in back, you can probably drive a rental car without damaging it. :laugh:

Haha seriously though. I might be getting a job with one of the rental companies though so hopefully I can get a cheaper deal. Like I would be allowed to drive their fleet cars at no cost between dealers but dare I rent one without paying for it.

Jet lag sucks. I really want to go to bed already but I feel like I need to force myself to stay up. Managed to do so last night but now that I'm actually back at my apartment by myself, I might lose the battle.

Fiance and I talked to his mom about how we have to make cuts to the guest list. She had a meltdown like expected.

In-laws are the funnest part of wedding planning!

We compromised on inviting randos to our wedding on the condition that my in-laws paid for anybody they insisted on. Still salty that they were there, but at least the cost wasn't on us.

I've pitched that idea to the fiance but he worries she'll freak out to the point where she just wouldn't come/would tell his whole family that we aren't inviting them.

Like, why are we inviting your cousins who you say you hate, haven't seen in 10+ years, never talk to....? Especially when she knows the venue we want maxes out at 180 and we have 220 currently. I'm too worried to bank on 40 people declining/not showing.

At least you have the venue as an excuse... Not like you can cram an extra 40 people in there!

I think they say to expect at least 10% of invitees to decline, but you'd still need to cut it down to 200 and bank on that happening....

Also, wanted to add my favorite "why did we have to invite you???" story...

We invited my in-laws' neighbor who I had spoken to on a few occasions previously. I ran into her in the driveway after the wedding and started some small talk: "I hoped you enjoyed the reception" etc. During the conversation she asked how I knew the family. Uh... I was the bride, lady! :eyebrow:

Like, seriously, why did I have to invite somebody who literally didn't recognize me less than an hour after the wedding ended. :uhno:

I'm just at the point where I don't know how to handle/tolerate his family. Only his brother actually congratulated us, we've been met with nothing but resistance/tantrums from his mom.

Okay but that's exactly it though. Sorta. His mom emailed me the guest list, we went over it, fiance didn't recognize some of the names on there. "Ohhhh we have a cousin with that name? Didn't know." :bang: If you don't know them, they probably don't know you and won't come. So I'm going to box myself out of the venue we want for someone who isn't going to come?

I feel bad for him because his mom really is tough to navigate, she is extremely manipulative. I'm waiting for the "But I have an autoimmune disease and need a kidney transplant [side note, her doctor said this wasn't true yet she's telling everyone it is...], this could be my last chance to see these people!"

Have your own party that is not your kids wedding if you reeeeally need to see these people. Or do this fun thing and go travel to them

It's just unreal. I'm so over it. People are asking me if I have anything official yet for the wedding and it sucks to have to say no. The real reason is because it's been miserable, especially since I never wanted a wedding in the first place. Fiance does.

It's not her day. You shouldn't have to change all of your plans to suit her wants. Unless she wants to pay for them and find you a bigger venue that is just as perfect or better than the one you picked, she needs to shut her trap.

Does fiancé want a wedding because he wants a wedding, or does fiancé want a wedding to please his mother?

Problem solved - tell your fiance to plan everything himself and then just show up on the wedding day!

He definitely wants one for his own reasons. I cringe at the thought of having to talk to people all day and behave myself, I'd much rather elope, get married at a courthouse, whatever.

I'm at that point. Not sure why I'm expected to be superwoman and tackle school/clinics and wedding planning when I'm six hours away in the first place

Could always do what my friends sister and her husband did. Get married at the courthouse a couple months before the "real wedding" and tell no one and just have a second ceremony and your reception.
Though, they had to get married a couple months early Bc they're in the military and had to meet the deadline to be stationed together or something like that so a bit different of a situation, but could take some of the pressure off on the big-wedding day.

It's 4 am and I'm wide awake because my back is in pain and I can't take Advil or my prescription NSAIDs because I had a steroid epidural Wednesday morning (here's to hoping it helps me)
I haven't had trouble sleeping without any form of pain meds since July, so this is annoying 🙁

We're definitely doing the courthouse now and wedding thing ~later~ so that someone else can plan the big party that I don't care about

So....... we eloped. Got married at Gate 40-something at Minneapolis St. Paul Int'l. (This is pre-9/11, so anyone could walk down to a gate). A judge met us there along with two of our best friends. The 5 of us did a little ceremony at the gate before our flight departed. It was pretty fun because a few hundred people decided to stop and watch (I mean, what else are you gonna do waiting for your flight to leave?).

On our way to the airport we mailed invitations to a "redo" ceremony to be held a month later.

Then we called our parents from the plane in flight. Mine were in the "oh thank god he sealed that deal before blowing it" position. Her parents were somewhat less enthusiastic, but eventually sent a bottle of champagne to us on our honeymoon.

All in all it was pretty fun and memorable. 🙂
 
Fire Marshall to bridal party: I am sorry, but you can't enter, the venue is full.
Bridal Party: Party at my house!
Problem solved.....

But what if I actually had it in a glass and not a mug because my mugs were dirty? Then it would be a glass of hot chocolate, WOULD IT NOT???☕

It would. But it would still be wrong. The visual of a clear glass of hot chocolate (or tea, or coffee) is just wrong. Wash your damn mugs.
