My cousin is getting married in august, and it's hard to hear her talk about her pre-wedding hype. It does get better, especially as the day gets closer - for a while my wedding was the last thing I wanted to deal with because of the lack of hype - now that it's only 46 days away, I'm stoked again! </P><P><FONT color=#1f5080 size=2>Hugs to you and remember - it will get better!</FONT>Tue, 11 Apr 2006 23:39:06 GMTlstreethttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspxIt doesn't sound like you think her wedding is overshadowing yours, it sounds like you miss your friends and family, and who wouldn't get a little nostalgia when you see them enjoying eachother's company? I totally feel for you, and hope that you can enjoy the rest of your wedding planning!Tue, 11 Apr 2006 12:08:17 GMTfaschahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspxAwwww..Thanks everyone!

Make sure that you try your best to celebrate this time as you don't want to look back and say I wish I would have. Enjoying being a bride and if you are in the GTA, maybe join in on the dinner get togethers. I found that this was a great way to chat to other brides about wedding stuff as it is hard when you either don't know people around you or they are not planning a wedding.</FONT></P><P><FONT color=#dd33dd size=2>JJF :w00t:</FONT>Mon, 10 Apr 2006 22:48:39 GMTjjfhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspxDont feel bad about letting it out!! you deserve to be a spoiled bride too!! we are here anytime, and we all want to hear about your wedding and get excited along with you!! *HUGS*:DMon, 10 Apr 2006 21:48:55 GMTsriebothttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspxIts only normal.

At least you can see their pics and try to envision yourself there... close your eyes and take a mental holiday to be with them. Or, when all else fails spend a few dollars and call home ~ always cheers me up!Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:49:34 GMTScotBridehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspx<FONT size=7>*hugs*</FONT>Mon, 10 Apr 2006 16:02:58 GMTdansfiancehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic8936-6-1.aspx:(</P><P>My best friend and I got engaged on the same day. We were super excited for each other as you can imagine. Prob is that I now live out of the country and away from my friends which, as you can imagine, sucks major!! And now, and I hate to sound resentful, but I get pictures of their engagement parties and stuff, which all of our friends went to and I can't go. Sure we had a tiny one here, (a couple people over for dinner) but I'm not as close to my friends here and it wasn't the same. Now, both of our birthdays are this month and, of course they sent me pictures of the big party...which again, I can't go to or have a big one of my own with all my friends.</P><P>Oh, WOE IS ME! I hate to be one of these "my friend's wedding is over shadowing mine! Wah, wah, wah, boo hoo!" girls that we read about. But it truly is and my engagement is totally lacking hype! Boo hoo!Mon, 10 Apr 2006 15:23:03 GMTDeeDee401
