Hello Ladies,
I am formally introducing myself since i hjave hopped on a couple of discussions out of nowhere. I am a newbie getting married 07/07 and i am in Tampa, FL. I have been reading and decided to join in. I have a long way to go and such a short time to do it in but my problem today that I need help with is is exactly that. my help. number one my sister. i need to tell her to back off w/o hurting her feeling, cause i am notorius for that, but i have eased a bit since i have been with fh. she wants to control EVERYTHING and tosses out every idea i choose. i am the elder sister. even though i proceeed with my own ideas. she has been married twice at the jop so i think my wedding is her project. pleeze help between fending off her and the fmil i am going crazy.......
First, I want to say welcome raysbride. You don't have long to go. What have you done so far?
As far as your sister, tell her, "this is my wedding and this is what I want. If I need your suggestions or I'm stuck on something, I will definately ask you for your help." Does that sound too harsh?
comapre to what i AM saying that is a dandelion kiss lol.
i have my Maggie S dress that I cannot uplaod so i can show it off :(
i have the hall, dj, caterer, photog, centerpieces, wedding favs but there are still little annoying things. tonite we are getting junior bride and flower girl dresses. and of course little sis is going to be on the premises.
Which dress did you choose by Maggie? I love her gowns.
Ivy. we wnet thru a ton of dresses and everyone was tired of me. i was holding on to the one bumblebee chose that was my first luv but ny height would not carry it. i did not like it on the hanger but once i tried it on i got misty eyed. i came out and the other customers clapped and i knew this was it....
Welcome Raysbride!
Welcome Raysbride. I understand EVERYTHING you are going through. My brother is ALSO getting married this year on that day...
I will tell you what. Whatever dress makes you feel misty-eyed like that, then you need to find a good seamstress to make that dress fit on you like it should! I also didn't like that dress on the hanger, but when I put it on in ivory, I knew and my heart dropped. But I put it away and forgot about it. I went to visit my mom in Palm Beach, and she pulled out the same dress in white, and my self-confidence jsut went out the door because I didn't think I was shaped right, but I gave it a chance anyway. So if you like my pic, thank my seamstress!

Raysbride your dress is pretty. Once my dress comes in I can see myself doing the same thing, but for now I just study the pictures we took.

Hey bella, welcome. I don't know what it is but vibrides who pick your avatar always seem to have bell in their name. welcome to the phenomena *smile*
since i mentioned it here i will continue,bella i am not taking away from your hello cause i am glad you are here.
my sister has had the flower girl dresses for 3 weeks now and just tried them on last nite, they dont fit either girl. now mind u the dresses i originally wanted were no longer available because she could never take the time to go and look at them w/me. now who is to say that the dresses that i settled for will be there. since it was getting late i chose cute dresses off the rack from burlington but now it may be too late for me to order and pay for on line dresses.
she is to exxhange them for the right size, if there are any. but she doesnt know when. now the logistics of our homes and schedules does not allow me to exchange the dresses because she has a conflict with each time i am available to do this. mind u i have until this saturday to make major decisions since i return to work on Monday. new job is not gonna let me surf for wedding plans with in my 120 days of probation, and so the dresses are in her hands. she feels if she can find a dress w/out me she will pick it up. can we say HELL NO!!!!!!! i am livid. my mother says stop. there will just not be any little girls in the procession. the jr groom can ring the bell and announce the bride and there will be a ring bearer.
how does that sound?
okay. i have been actually busy today. my former co-worker came up from sarasota and we ran the city. i actually got to see the chocoalte tuxes up close today and cesided on the differences of the grrom and the ushers. i had the table setting run and it will be fantastics, even though my planner is trying to be slick thats why i went to the company my self for costs and shapes. it was fabulous we changes up some colors cause the chocolate was a little too deep so i had to back up and incorporate more pink but it still looks great.
i really feel like i got a lot accomplished and iam actually happy.
i am going to make a definate decision this weekend regarding the invitations and now things seem to be falling into place. i can say toda was a good day unsure about tomorrow since i am taking my mother to see the dress i have for her on hold at catherines. lets cross our fingers that i wont throw her out of the speeding car tomorrow :)
That's great Raysbride!

I say good for you...put your foot down and stop the nonsence. I can't tell you how inconsiderate folks can be, and I'm sure now I don't need to tell you, you've seen it first hand.
Do you. that's about to be my mantra for the rest of my planning days...for real!
ok my sister just called from the store and said she has the dresses. i asked were they the dresses i chose she says she was out of range and hung up. now that was an hour ago and i have been ringing her cell, husbands cell and house phone with no anser. if she thinks i am going to just accept what she has picked out opposed to what she was going to get i am flipping.
