Confessions

Recommended Posts

Caroline, I know exactly how you feel!! None of my siblings (I have three of them) are coming to my wedding either, despite the fact that I constantly travel to see them, and have always lent them money and helped out in other ways. But when it comes time for MY turn to need something from them, they all turn their backs, and in fact gossip among themselves about how "selfish" and "outlandish" I am for wanting to get married somewhere other than my hometown (where I haven't lived for 15 years, and where almost all of my guests would have to travel to anyway!). I guess we just have to let it roll off our backs, and focus on how amazing our weddings are going to be, right? :)

Also, we are just trying to get to the wedding date...and all she is doing is complaining about all the details and preaching about etiquette! I mean she should be happy we are getting there! Damn woman!!

She will get over it! She just has to realize life isn't about her. I love that icon too!

1) I am embarassed by my dad's drinking and his behaviour. I always have been, but lately it's gotten bad or more noticeable again. FI and I were invited to his ex's house for a nice dinner (we call her my fake mom - she's wonderful and he still loves her) and he got really embarassing - saying really inappropriate things.

2) Despite trying to give FI's grandmother the benefit of the doubt, I now think she's a mean old bat.
I had a family bridal shower planned for last Saturday and she was supposed to drive down with 2 other people. A 3rd was meant to come along too and when the other two and grandmother found out about the 3rd woman, they decided they didn't want to go (spend 2 hrs in the car with this 3rd woman) so they decided not to come in the morning of the shower. So it was cancelled. The 3rd girl is deaf. How petty is that? Also, she's done other weird mean things. She was going t come to our wedding and then cancelled after FMIL and FFIL had paid for her room. They lost their deposit because of her. Etc.

3) I think my FSIL is very selfish and crazy overprotective about her kid. She uses her kid as an excuse to not do most things. Including going to our wedding.

4) A biggy:
Deep down I am angry with myself that I left the PhD program and Toronto after 5 years in a very unstable relationship with my ex fiance. And I am very jealous and hurt that he was seemingly unaffected and finished his PhD. frown.gif
I think you need to finish your PhD then! Usually guys do better when they throw themselves into something. That is probably what he did. Asshole!

Confession #2. I confess to being really hacked of with the majority of my siblings, who are not going to make it to our wedding. I get that $$$ is tight but remember back when, when I didn't have a pot to piss in and yet made it to every one of their weddings... (internationally) That certain members holiday twice a year in Milan - but can't make it to their little sister's wedding?!
I confess to feelling that they all could give a shit...
Sometimes bans are just better left alone. It's always because someone broke the rules somehow. lol
My cousins didn't come to my wedding. I went to EVERY single one of theirs. They didn't even send a present! I traveled to Cali for every single damn one of them, which is more expensive then it would have been for them to fly to Cancun! Whatever!

You know what? The people that don't go are the losers. Your guests are going to have SO much fun and never stop talking about it. Your siblings are going to feel like they missed one hell of a party!

I don't know if I'll ever get back to it. I'm hapiper now anyway, so it was a good move for me to leave. It just makes me really mad that his work was so unaffected. JERK!

Amen to that! I can't wait for my FSIL to feel totally pathetic and lonely when we're all down there and her DH is even there and she's at home, with shitty weather and snow and her daughter. I hope she feels really left out. HA!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
