beebee confession

I secretly want SIL to ask me to be a bridesmaid.  I am 99.9% sure she won't.  I'm trying reeeallly hard not to be disappointed, but I can't help it.

 

Plus, then I won't have to wear a magenta dress.  Right?

Re: beebee confession

  • I've never been a BM. I've always kinda wanted to be one, but I"m sure if I was I'd probably not like it.

     Can I have a beebee confession? I hate every dress I've seen online for this year. I'm pretty sure I'll have a foot-stomping meltdown when I go to try on dresses. If I do I'll take video for you guys.

  • Dresses always look different ON than in photos.  I thought I would HATE SIL's dress, and on her it looks fantastic.

  • I wonder why older SIL didn't ask me to be a BM. But then I realize I'll be 36 weeks pregnant at her wedding, we aren't super close, and I didn't ask her to be in my wedding.
  • I keep reminding myself of this. Also, I'm a little afraid of dress shopping with my mother. She's told me numerous times I look schitty in white, but I tried on a dress in color and she was all, "WHY AREN'T YOU GOING TO WEAR WHITE"

    This will not be pleasant. I'm bringing bff to play defense. ...Offense?

  • I have one. My fav cousin has been married, had 1 kid, divorced, and close to getting married again, and me not so much.

    Yes, she got a divorce, but I'm still like darn, "What's up with me?"

    I agree with this.  Though I also am sensitive about the issue because I was supposed to be my sister's MOH before she went off and had her secret wedding.

    secret wedding? Was this a TF, for insurance and don't tell anybody type thing? FSIL keeps insisting I should do this. I give her a major side-eye.

  • I'm a little sad that my sister and I aren't BMs in my brother's wedding, even though my brothers weren't GMs in mine. They did do the readings though. I'll be upset if I don't get to do a reading.
  • The secret wedding was because she was pregnant and her baby daddy &church were giving her a hard time about having a child out of wedlock so they had a ceremony which she told  me that morning wasn't happening, and then kept it a secret so my parents would pay for a "real" wedding.

  • i don't think i will be sad if i am not a bm for my brother or sister, if they ever get married.  that is expensive.

    Holy shiot!  I think my eyebrows are gone.

  • I have zero desire to be a BM, mostly because I hate wearing dresses. Especially a dress someone else picks out for me to wear.

    There is so much more to this story - it's ridiculous. I haven't told it yet because it takes a lot out of me, and because there are so many gems that it takes forever to write.

  • Wow, my eyebrows are officially back on TK, while the rest of me is here, on TN.

    That is infarkingsane. This was pretty much FSIL's suggestion.

  • Arbo, we are patient (sometimes) and we like stories.

    H really really really wanted to have a secret wedding a day or two before our actual wedding. It took a long time for me to convince him it was a bad idea, and he still talks about how we should have done it. 

  • My brother did this (got married in secret a few days before the "real" wedding. His wife got in her head that my grandfather who was marrying them may not be licensed in MI. Who cares if he was preacher of a church there for 20+ years and married hundreds of people. They were stupid. Then they decided to keep it from everyone, again GF has married a lot of people, he asked them for marriage cert. and they had to tell the truth when they couldn't. It was very drama filled, he was gonna refuse to do the service but since people were seated he went ahead, he has never forgiven him either.
  • FI and I joke about this regularly. "What do you want to do this weekend?" "We could head down to the court house and get married." "K."

    but we would never actually do it. Why did he want to get secretly married before the wedding TD?
