| Take it as a compliment! She thinks you have good ideas! Try not to worry about it. The people that matter will know that you got engaged first and that they were your ideas...From now on, if you don't want her to copy anything else, just don't tell her.

I haven't read the other replies, so disregard if others have already said this  a) You were engaged first. Your friends will know that. It's not like you've been keeping it a secret. They will know that you've been planning all along b) Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If she's "stealing" your ideas, it means she thinks they're good ones c) It's okay to be annoyed. I probably would be, too. But try to remember that your day will be special no matter what

You could also just appricate that she seems to think you have good taste Agreed! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! I agree with PP, don't share any more details, esp the finer details, to avoid further conflicts. Don't worry Marie, your wedding will be kick-ass! Doh! I swear I didn't read this first Danica! LOL Also, get out of my head

I completely agree with you.
Try not to get bummed out, and I agree with those who said to stop telling her any details of your wedding

Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was choice, but falling in love with you was completely out of my control.

| My first thought - I hope she doesn't log into this forum.... that would create a lot more problems for you! lol It's clear from a lot of your posts that you have been working your butt off though , and hey, one of the greatest things about this site is sharing ideas.. there's probably TONS of other brides ripping off your ideas.. lol. you just don't know about it! j/k I know someone mentioned it already - I also think it's a GREAT idea to share stuff and split the cost if you can get away with it!
