Welcome to all the newcomers...and vent away...that is what we are here for!Sat, 08 Apr 2006 21:06:49 GMTUneekBridehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspxHi , I hope this gets to you this is my first time on this message board. I am getting married too, on September 23rd. I really feel for you. This wedding thing is a lot more pressure than I expected. I plan events for a living and thought this would be the best event to plan of them all. Now that everything is booked I all of a sudden Ihave frozen. I don't feel like planning anymore, what's wrong with me?</P><P>Part of me just wants to forget the whole wedding thing and just take off to vegas. I love my fiance so why don't I feel like organizing stuff any more. I haven't even picked a wedding dress yet, what's wrong with me?</P><P>sincerly frozen bride LeaSat, 08 Apr 2006 11:42:37 GMTlwebsterhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspx<FONT size=3>Congrats on your engagement, and welcome to CB!</FONT></P><P><FONT size=3>And hey... complain away... we're here to listen! :)</FONT>Fri, 07 Apr 2006 16:49:38 GMTAlanaBananahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspxwelcome to the boards!

Hello!! In 1975 maybe!! My family think weddings are a stupid waste of money. My sister thought so and eloped now she's trying to live vicariously through mine!

She has this idea for the groom and groomsmen that i do not like... and about the flowers....</P><P>my step-mom on the other hand is much more on the lines of my vision so i can relate better to her ideas. </P><P>Its hard because i love my mom SO much but she really doesn't know me as much as my step-mom does since my mom really wasn't around me in my teenage years ( i think this is the period in your life where you gain your own identity with your own sense of style!) My mom and I have different styles, she is more of the girly girl while I am more of the relaxed, down to earth style.</P><P>I value both of their opinons but its amazing that my own mother doesn't really get my vision!!! My dad doesnt really say much same with my step-dad... my sister just keeps her mouth shut but offers some suggestions. FILs haven't really put their opinion in yet, but we haven't really discussed much with them since they live 2 hours away from us while my mom lives 30 minutes away, my sister is 20 minutes away and my dad/step-mom is 1 hour away. Plus FILs do not really want to be a part of the planning, they just told me "tell me when and where and we will be there!" I do want their opinion tho since it is their only child that i am marrying.... maybe they will have more of an opinion once the date gets closer!Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:31:00 GMTdesbride07http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspxGreat wedding date...and boy do I hear you!!! This week I feel like I'm the only one who knows what I want and I'm soooooooo overwhelmed!!! Ack! I just gotta say, this too shall pass....:w00t:Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:26:29 GMTptbobridehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspxwell... complain all you want.. we listen.. and give advice as much as possible...</P><P>congrats on the engagement.. hope things get better for you!Thu, 06 Apr 2006 11:37:42 GMTdansfiancehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic2882-6-1.aspxhi cber's- i'm a newbie. i joined awhile ago but haven't really been around. i'm getting married september 23rd 2006. i've had a bad "wedding stuff" week and i'm feeling a bit down. i'm pumped about my wedding and i love everyone involved. it just gets frustrating sometimes. everyone has a different vision of what our wedding day is going to be like. they are just trying to help and make our day special but sometimes i just want to yell "do you know me at all????" it's actually pretty funny when you think about the ideas people come up with for your day! if i don't like the idea i do tell them cuz bottom line is i have to do what i want, but sometimes i feel so guilty about it. i'm afraid these people who are only trying to help may end up feeling unappreciated and thats not the case at all! </P><P>anyway i just wanted to introduce myself cuz i have a feeling i'll be coming on to complain lots!Thu, 06 Apr 2006 11:33:46 GMTfunnybride
