I heard a that another wedding was completely ruined a few days after mine, so I think that's why Chantelle is gone. She was very nice and was great at decorating and flowers, but was not good at paperwork and organization. I think you are lucky that you have the new coordinator. My advice is to follow up on everything. Bring copies of all your documents just incase. If you are bringing welcome gifts, hand deliver them to the rooms because the RIU couldnt handle that for us. Talk directly with photogrpaher and spa to make sure things are arranged. Good news is that our reception was awesome, food & service was better than anywhere else on the resort. I did pay for a private reception though. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have about RMB.

    For the same reason why you cannot fathom people writing great things about Chantelle., is the same thought I am having as to how could Chantelle have dropped the ball when she was the consumate professional for my andother BDWers weddings. Maybe she was going through something in her life to cause such a great disservice to yourself and other brides. I am sorry that this happened to you but glad your reception went fine. Again she was very on point to work with and I would not take that away fromher. I hope at least your photos and such came out great!

    Long rant: Fed up....sick and tired...need the madness to stop

    in Just venting or funnies

    Posted

    Okay ladies---This a long rant..but its keeping me up the past few nights and it really shouldn't. We have heard the stories before of the evil in-laws. Here is my story to share. My husband's mother and I are not close and personally I welcome it being that way because from the beginning I recognized she and her daughter are not nice, genuine people so my instinct always told me to not get close and this was the best thing I could ever do. But my issue is that because my husband is VERY close to his family,over time, it will put a strain on our marriage as he does not recognize how manipulative his mother is so when I have said things to him he brushed it off as if it was not that serious and has even gone so far to say I am trying to be divisive. To add fuel to fire, recently I was informed that the MIL was undermining me to my hubby's stepmom (the MIL can't stand the stepmother so why is she trying to make nice with her now) who lives 1000 miles away in Canada and whom she has always talked bad about because my hubby's father passed his mom over on the marriage front so his mom is still very bitter after all these years IMO. It is quite interesting…the shenanigans that go on…

    My issue is should I gently put his mom in her place for the final time--and add that with exception of her relationship w/her grandson, please leave my name out of her mouth?? Foreverhuh.gif I may be a quiet person but I am not afraid to stand up when I have had enough…..I did soul searching and have come up with NO reason why this woman would act the way she has but IMO, I have severall justifiable reason to not want anything to do with her. To give you some background:

     

    For those familiar with Jamaican culture, the only son is like God himself. Enters me, "The Girlfirend" , now wife left stage. As far as his family is concerned, I guess their "gravy train" was drying up and they feel/have always felt threatened by my presence. Every time I turn around they had a "tude" with me for whatever reason and walked around with their nose turned up, like I owe them something and I must bend over backwards to please them. The MIL has :

     

    - told me me she had to"PRAY" over a thanksgiving invite to dinner from my family (last time I checked you 300+ frame looks like you never missed a meal, so what is there to pray over other than saying Grace)??

    - canceled the morning of my pay-per-head Baby shower when I was pregnant with her grandson

    -Declined to attend her grandson's Christening (WTF) . Mind you she was church secretary at the time so she knew all the details months in advance. Told me she had a choir event

    - made the excuse that she had school when we first told her about the wedding Plans - AGAIN WTF??!!

    - does not drive but finds her way to any church event in America, however, can't find her way 40 miles south to see her grandson. And is giving the impression that I don’t bring my son to see her.

     

    So she wondered why I NEVER included in her in one IOTA of my wedding plans. We even paid for her broke ass to come to the wedding. That was where I drew the line because if they had their way they would have wanted us to pay for the sister and her son to come. These are all grown ass people!!! And it does not matter what the event is, they never have the funds..unless it’s a church event.

     

     

    I know there are two sides but cmon already, I cannot honestly think of one thing I have ever done to these folks for them to dislike me. Everyone else seems to have gotten the memo that between studies, working mom with a demanding career -50 hours per week, having a small child (that is also sickly), cooking, cleaning, educating, being a sister, wife, friend, daughter, etc..etc--my PLATE IS FULL!!! So how dare she act like I keep her from seeing her grandson or husband?? Or that I have the time to suck up to them?? PUHLEEZE!!!

     

    I know I may sound fed up and I am. I raised this in counseling once already and I will have to revisit this again. Cause as I always say, the person whose family is always starting shit needs to handle it and this crap I can see will continue forever with these trifling folk. Thanks for hanging in there if you have to read this OVERLY long rant!

    All priceless advice ladies. And as Josie said--she will become the gorilla in the room alongside this issue. Actually she is already the gorilla in the room-but that is another story (lol). You guys are right, I will let the $ go, however when the opp presents itself, I will let her know (a grown ass woman) her actions are dead wrong. Thanks Girls!

    I agree withjersey kitten. But sometimes even when not in the mood I never deny him cause once we start I acually don't mind the workout. Even though here are ebbs and flows, we are usually in sync and if anything mine is definitely higher than his...

    Am I too selfish?

    Don't think you are selfish at all-ask DH isn;t the idea of a wedding to cater to each other or your guests? re you spending the rest of your life with him or you, he and his mother?? There will be plenty of time afterwards , even during your wedding , however, the mother , family and friends need to respect the fact that you need couple time alone. Hell, the first few days you will be running around doing administrative stuff so that is even less time with DH!

    Hey Ladies,

     

    Just throwing this out there as I have pretty much decided to pursue the matter just because of "principle", and best believe money does come secondary because its a small amount.

     

    Back in August of 2007 (no mistake), I decided to support my SIL in yet another of her fly by night home based businesses. In the past I had supported her in Tupperware (chef parties) , Avon, Mary Kay and now the jewelry based Lia Sophia business. Since her quest for being a LS rep, I have helped her with setup of these jewelry shows, and supported her endlessly by purchasing hundreds of dollars worth of stuff, just to be supportive. At one of her last shows, I ordered one of the premier COSTUME pieces priced at $300 and she gave me a discount of half.

     

    Since that time I received the merchandise but returned it (60 day policy) to her the following week because it was one of those instances where the jewelry looked better in the book and not on me! Wouldn't you know I have not seen my money since almost 2 years ago? Mind you I have been the one to followup with her on 4 separate occasion just to say hey, can i get an update on what's going on?? She offered me the option to re-order something else for the same value and each time I got an excuse as to why my order was never placed, got lost etc. Finally in January of this year I gave her an ultimatum. Return my money--no re-orders etc.

     

    Needless to say she does not even acknowledge that issue. It is however, the 800 pound gorilla in the room. She acts as if nothing is amiss and as I have always been good to hear but definitely drew back since our wedding for other reasons. This only compounds the issue even more. what do you girls think? Should I let it go?? It is so hard to realize the nerve of her to think that she can take someone's money and not even acknowledge me, my requests, or the wrong she has done. UHHHHHHHH!!!!fryingpan.gif
