Feeling deflated about my/our wedding - Feeling lost as no friends.

Charlie, on July 7, 2019 at 2:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4

I'm not quiet sure how to type this without it seeming like the list goes on forever so bare with me whilst I try to shorten it but I'm going through so many hard feelings that I don't know who to turn to.


* A few weeks ago, I tried on my whole wedding outfit in front of the girls in my family whilst at my parents... I didn't ask my mum to see it because I know she wasn't bothered about my wedding. Never has been. So my Auntie forced me to get my mum to come up to see me and at first my mum didn't want to take part , we had a bit of a laugh but I could tell she'd rather be somewhere else.

* I sadly broke friendship with my Maid Of Honour as she was so rude to me when all i asked is if her partner wanted to be an usher / part of our wedding... Also had bad feelings about her being M.O.H as she'd never reply to messages until 4+ weeks later (I understand shes busy but she'd post on her FB wall and I know when she was active as it shows in the friends online bar) , Booked a hotel right by a theme park that I so desperatly wanted to go to but she didn't actually check to see if the park was open (Was closed for the entire weekend) & didn't want to go on another weekend , apparently couldn't find anything cheap & affordable to do for my hen. but i found loads of stuff within a few moments. We'd never really talk - in 6 months we spoke like 3 times. I'd always invite her to stuff but she'd never once invite me. It felt like a very one sided , can't be arsed relationship

* None of my family speak to me online and haven't been able to go to family events due to timings with work & also the last event was a day or 2 after we got back from holiday so was too tired to go. They never ask about the wedding or even interact with my social sites... Not really included in any convo

* Don't have any friends that are going - the ones that are , are actually fake friends and its bad but I'm not uninviting them due to more drama & also because we need more people to get our bar income up (if everyone spends over a certain amount, we get the bar free)

* booked a hotel room for me to get ready in and to have getting ready photos as my parents don't want them to be taken in their house . It's just going to be either me on my own in the hotel room or with my sister. Everyone else is meeting me at the registry office ...

* Is it sad that I want to buy myself those "Bride to be" or "miss to mrs" myself to decorate the hotel room?

* since i don't really have a m.o.h any more, i'm now organising my hen do for myself which is another thing to sort out on my own with like 3 other people from work and my sister

* Not had any help from anyone until the last 3 months when most of the things have already been brought and family got funny about it - I couldn't wait for them to turn around and help 3 months before, right?!

sorry for this rant, just feel lost, lonely and needing friends (that I don't have) Smiley sad

    I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of this? Is there a reason your family is so disinterested in your wedding? Have you been close in the past and aren't any longer? Do they have beef with your choice of fiance? Either way I'm sorry that they aren't excited for you. All I can say is truck on and talk with your fiance. I hope they are more supportive than your family and friends have been.

    There hasn't been 'beef' with my family recently (as in 6+ months) , they were excited about my aunties and are excited for my cousins which is happening next year. We were close when i was little , growing up i've always felt like i was being pushed out ; a cousin with better fture than me, my sister the "special" one because of her Autism (We get on now) but then theres me...not being involved with anything and always being pushed aside - there were always arguments with my parents and me and when I moved out, my parents haven't really bothered with me too much. Some days I get a text from my mum and we text for like 4 times then nothing for a few months. No calls either.

    i think my mum doesn't want me to end up how she was a few years ago - her marriage to my dad was breaking down a lot and there was always talks of divorce but in recent years they've been closer than ever. I get it but i feel like she hasn't given my fiance a chance...he's always always there for me and treating me to stuff and showing his love for me. we rarely argue now.

    The only thing that is keeping me moving forward is the thought of just marrying him & starting a life with him. even if i have to do it on my own and disconnect Smiley sad He always tells me that he can't wait to marry me and I'm holding on to that when these times are tough

    I'm so sorry you're feeling like this! Sadly, nobody will be as excited for your wedding as you. Breathe - everything will be okay! Remember you get to marry your best friend Smiley heart

    Hi Charlie, I hope you're holding on there! Wedding planning is stressful enough and you shouldn't worry about people that aren't fussed about it, nor spending a lot of money on them. I'd just cancel everything if I were you and did an intimate ceremony, even if that would be just you, your fiancé and two witnesses. I hope you'll find a way to figure it all out and remember that this day is all about you and your fiancé. Just do whatever makes you happy and ignore the rest x
