    I know that there are some people that go thru a lot while planning their weddings.

    I only had a couple hiccups during the planning phase so I when I see all the calls for help, it makes me wonder.

    LMBO...I think the stress can get the best of us all, especially when we expect things to go a certain way.

    My bridesmaids have been pretty good, sadly with schedules, I've barely have seen them at all, but I know they are planning all the parties and showers. My mom has been the problem, and with FH I know he's getting a little stressed too.

    Im sure it depends on the wedding, I personally think theres has been no change in behavior. My reliable friends and family are still reliable, people that are a little too opinionated still throwing out ther opinions, and the people that aren't rsvping I probably shouldn't be surprised by at all as ts par for course.

    You are not in the boat alone.

    My MIL went from liking me to hating me over night. As soon as DH proposed, she decided to nitpick at everything I did/do. She criticized DH for how much he spent on my e-ring and then had the nerve to tell me I should just rent my gown...SHE WASN'T EVEN PAYING FOR THE WEDDING!

    She also yelled at my mom...who has been nothing but sweet and kind...at our reception in front of our guests...yelling at her and taking her anger for me out on my mom...yeah, I cannot stand the bish...I haven't spoken to her since the wedding.

    So yes, I think weddings bring out the worst in people...but on the other hand, I also think they can bring out the best in others. Smiley smile

    You are right Cydney! I have learned who of my friends are supportive and who are just miserable I have leanred who in my family matters but at this point I just have to laugh at the way people react to an event that is supposed to be fun and happy!

    Christina- It's okay, you are forgiven. I am very far out from my wedding but so far everyone is laid back and wants me to do whatever makes me happySmiley smile. We will see what happens as it gets closer though *fingers crossed*

    I definitely agree it does bring out the worst in people! Luckily I haven't had to go through too much because I'm still planning but FH cousin is getting married next month and I hear all these horror stories from his fiance!! She has so much drama and everyone wants something from her - I just hope I don't have too much drama because I hate drama and try to avoid it

    Yup...it does. Or it can,especially if there's already been some mild tension there...I've personally had my share of drama already w/ only 5 months of planning under my belt...9 more months to go & I'm praying that it's smooth sailing from here on out. If not, I'm prepared to block out the craziness to keep this a CELEBRATION!

    Boy do they ever! Especially when certain family members feel they should be in the wedding simply because they are family, then they proceed to create drama when they don't get their way. It makes me sad to think back to how much stress I was under with planning our wedding. Planning the actual wedding was fairly simple, dealing with all the drama filled family members wasn't. But it's over and it was a great wedding! I try not to think about the drama and just focus on the fact that I married the love of my life.

    My planning has been like Laura's so far. MY FMIL gave me the guest list that she wanted to have invited (everyone from FH family and her friends) I just cut people we didn't know and didn't say anything to FMIL to not cause any unnecessary drama.

    But so far everyone is telling me to do what I want or hasn't really paid attention to what I'm doing. By the time it gets closer it will be to late I would have made all my decisions and no one can have input. But my mom has been really supportive and just let me do what I want which is wonderful. Couldn't ask for a better mom.

    I hope it stays this way but time will tell.

    No drama here. The only drama I've run to is the running out of money drama. HAH. Oh well, time to cut unnecessary things!

    Wedding Planning definitely bring out the worst in people. I actually had a post like this before on WW and FB. My dilemma is my brother and mother. They don't get along so my brother said he will not be in the wedding or come to it if our mother is there, mind you, he was supposed to walk me down the aisle. I'm so done!

    My husband asked me to marry him in February ... and wanted to do it over March Break (he's a teacher) and I literally had 3 weeks to plan! I was so glad it was quick because if I had to deal with everyone's drama for a full year or 2, I'd be bald from pulling out all my hair!!!!

    It brings out something!! That's for sure! A very good friend of FH and I told us that during this process we will find out ALOT about people. Let me tell you, we definitely have!! I lost my MOH (twice-brought her back then it happened again) and my best friend of 13 years..decided to worry about other people and not being my best friend. My parents are great people but terrible planners and expect or just think things happen magically, FH sister and I have the best relationship ever...the list goes on and on. I just hope nothing else happens.-
