YoursTruly

very nice! thaks for sharing...

I am thrilled to report that my hubby has always put the seat down!!

interesting dynamic there..how does your FI feel about the relationship with your ex? Just curious...

If you want to learn how to do it, you will learn how to focus. That is if your FI does not mind the mess. I would suggest starting small and tackle one room at a time. I was always taught to always keep certain rooms spotless. This would be the kitchen, bathrooms and living area, especially since these are where visitors will congregate. Learn to clean up as you go along, this way , cleaning left to one day a week will not be such an insurmountable task for you. Do this a couple of times per week. Make you tube online your friend for cooking and cleaning visuals, or ask a friend that cleans and cook if you can watch them and/or help so that you can get the experience you need. Good luck.

this is not uncommon at all and do not waste time trying to figure out the logic because there is none sometimes. you have to realize that while you would think friends would see your nuptials as important, in addition to their support of you, people are going to do what is important to them for selfish reasons. And they are entitled. Not sure if accomodations are being taken care of why it is an issue, , maybe something else is the reason and they are not comfortable speaking on it. Either way, I wish you well.

I definitely empathize with your situation but I think that your FI, sounds sort of silent on the issue and needs to step in and create some boundaries. Mothers are the pillars of the earth and while I am sure he dotes on her, he needs to reign that out of control behavior in YESTERDAY. It sounds like you guys are trying to build on your financial situation so you do not need her making unnecessary budget blowouts to you guys budget. If you have to pay for her, YOU handle the arrangements. Cancel the reservation she made and book it in a room tha is more in line with her budget. I learned early on that straight talk bring straight understanding so you need to have your FI's support and your FI sit her down and settle this. If he does not nip this in the bud now, it WILL get worse. Se already sounds like she needs prozac now,more so in a few months and years to come. Trust me, it will wear you down emotionally, I know! Reset your budget together, talk to FI, get his support and let him handle his mother or let him know you will if he doesn't. But you cannot be confrontational about it. Good luck!

wow...i wish you the best as u consider a big decision that will impact the rest of your life.

and it does not stop there..if uonly want one, then u hear how selfish u r...blah blah blah..

oh wow...cane and lily are like the tragic romeo and juliet! will they ever be together!

Wow!! this viral stuff is really picking up lots of buzz

Roller Coasters - GA Water Rides and some rollers coasters - DP

don't sweat it...do what you have to do and get tough!!! big hugs!

I would try my best to have a one on one with her. As for the other girls..what does it say about them if they end their friendship with you on account of one girl? I would be hesitant to cal them true friends, because real friends don't do this. I would as stated as XX to put on some big girls pants and really talk it through...I swear women can be so damn catty sometimes!! I of course had no patience for stuff like this and just cut folk off!!

Yes Savannah -- please resume your position as queen of spoilers..lol..hope all is somewhat normal on the homefront!!

Someone informed her incorrectly when she was with Nick that she was a diva. See how far that got her. Now with Tony she had to work seemingly a little too hard to keep him and totally became a different person because of the whole relationship. Unfortnately for her, she probably won't be the wiser an time soon, however it is still very disrespectful and immature to dump someone the day before their birthday. Maybe Tony ROAM-O can finally concentrate on winning!!

I would recommend doing a search on RMB. There are at least 5- 7 brides that have written a review as well as other threads on RMB related questions. Best of luck to you both.

talk to them both. make it clear how important it is foruour sister to be there.if your BIL has such a hard time understanding this then therein lies other issues. he should not be so immature about this. good luck.

i think u r making a wise decision. the last thing u need is to add stress by putting yourselves in debt. is your mom gonna buy u a new BR set? if not then she needs to kindly fall back.

wow i could not imagine not having my BFF at my wedding and in all honesty cannot imagine my DH telling me hs is not "allowing" me to do something. He would have to respect the fact that peace among everyone may not be achievable but the island is big enough for both to attend.

oh wow! sorry you are going through all this! you will find that those whom you thought would be there for you flake out and those that not so high expectations surprise you! Wish you the best...

I just hope you have a splendid time! Everything will be perfect. HUGS!!!

I would recommend sending prior to and also bring a sample photo of the style you want. They really do a great job with your hair. BTW Redken is an awesome product line.

Thankfully my DH and MOH calmed me down and aassured me they would handle everything and they did, despite no available cleaners to steam it. My WC was wonderful with helping them remove the steam and ironing a heavy chiffon and silk dress. They were amazing. To this day we are still not cool. I can’t forget that!!

you will find the right one...there are tons of dresses out there...

Mine was when I realized my trifling sister intentionally smeared my wedding dress with makeup 2 hours before the wedding and felt no need to apologize! I went ballistic on her azz!
