F/U on sister's Wedding
We are giving in and going, but NOT without a fight. I went to Davids Bridal Saturday and picked out my BM dress then I had Aaron call my mom and had HER pay for the dress over the phone. My sister just wanted us to wear 'watermelon" so I picked out a dress that looks really cute on me but my mom will HATE. Here's a link to the dress
Anyway, our plan is to drive up for the day stay for the wedding then turn around and come home (or spend the night in the finger lakes). I don't plan on talking to my mom or my sister until I'm up there. I'm so sick of their bull. I'm not sure if I told you guys this, but my mom called my MIL to try and convince her to make us go, but MIL said she wouldn't get involved (my mom only calls MIL when she wants something and never returns MILs calls any other time)
I should also note that they are putting my 14 year old sister through hell. They are picking on her left and right and yesterday my sister (the one that's getting married) was upset with my little sister (14 year old) over something with the wedding and invites so she convinced my mom to take her cell phone away. WTF?!
Ok. Sorry I had to get that vent out of the way.
Re: F/U on sister's Wedding
first, LOVE the dress! it's going to look so cute on you! good for you for making her pay!
stick to your guns and only come and go when you guys want!
i can't believe that your mom called MIL. what are we in middle school? glad your MIL does not feed into it! i can't believe that your sister had your mom take away your 14 year sister's phone over invites?!
i am so sorry you are dealing with all this BS!
Ho-ly cow! I can't believe all the drama they cause. Calling MIL to tattle. I agree with Marelina, why is your mother acting like a middle schooler?
I think the dress is adorable also. Why would your mom hate it?
Well I hope things go...well. Hopefully it'll all be over soon. :::Hugs:::
This! I couldn't have said it better myself...but that just because my english kinda sucks...hehehe
I love that your mom is going to pay for the dress, I love it to be honest, and I am secretly happy your mom won't like it. Your mom sounds interesting, taking your sisters cell away plus calling your MIL, I would flip at my mother if I was you, so you are a much better person.
I hope that you have some fun at the wedding. At least Niagara is pretty to look at, and maybe you could meet up with Jill while you are there.
Good for you on doing it YOUR way even though they did badger you into going. I really sympathize on the family drama... I have a mom who sometimes acts more like she's the fourth sister (there are three of us).
And anyway, I really like that dress, and way to go on getting mom to pay! Do you think it will be casual enough to wear again to anything? Either way, free dress!
I think I can wear it to another wedding this summer. It's really light and airy which is perfect for the summer.
Oh and the reason my mom will hate it is because she hates chiffon and she hates ruching (the thinks it looks like the inside of a casket). Oh well her problem not mine!
This! Although... hearing other things about your sister... I doubt she's going to stop acting like a bridezilla even after the wedding.
Poo on that!
