Wow! That's beautiful!

That is awesome! Love it!

You won't bother me at all. I'm sure I have driven these other girls crazy so no worries. As far as welcome bags-I haven't decided yet. I know...I am running out of time! We are having the free package and just adding on photography. We will only have about 10 people with us and we are just going to make dinner reservations instead of a reception. I will have my Matron of Honor, and only one bridesmaid, and he his Best man, and one groomsman. Hopefully Breezes will be in one piece come October 7th! I am getting really nervous about this weather!

Hi there! I apologize, I guess I should have been more specific. I live in Georgia, but won't be getting married here. I am getting married in the Bahamas on October 7th. What about you?

No offense taken. I really do appreciate the advice and I understand every situation is different. I just have to accept the fact that you can't change anyone and it is what it is. For the most part, or in most aspects of my life anyway, I have accepted that fact. I did a while ago. But its just been harder for me in this situation. Thanks for your input, and I apologize if I seem a little snippy. The big day is getting really close and I've been stressing a lot.

Obviously, since my Grandparents raised me and not my parents, there's a little more to it. It was my mom's mother that just passed away and we are all still grieving. She hasn't had to deal with any of the "estate issues" as the rest of us have. All she cared about was getting what little amount of money she and her siblings split that was left from the life insurance after the funeral. My father has no excuse other than that he's just depressed all the time because his life is just so awful, and wants to make us feel sorry for him yet refuses to do anything about it. I do agree that it may happen that way in some situations, but not this one.

That is so great that your parents are being supportive! I know exactly what you mean about FI's parents. His have done nothing but complain, and they aren't even going! They say that can't understand why we would want to get married this way. The 1st thing that pops in my mind is "well, it is our wedding so shouldn't we do it the way we want?". But of course I can't say that to them. I know our special day will be absolutely wonderful, but no matter how many people tell me not to let any of it get to me, and that I should just be grateful he and I have each other (which I AM), it still gets to me. I'm only human, ya know?

Any other southern brides out there?

My grandparents raised me, and they have now both passed away. My Grandmother passed in Feb of this year so that alone has made all the planning hard. But my mother and father are both alive and well, and do you think they've once asked me how the planning is going? Its not like I want or expect any financial help from them. I just want to know they care or are interested, at least a little. And FI's family is just as bad! He is so close to his mom, which I love, so you'd think that she'd be at least somewhat interested in her son's wedding....right?? Anyone else feel like this?

Too funny!

Congrats and good luck planning!

Welcome and Congrats!

Welcome! I know how you feel! Planning has been pretty overwhelming for me, as well. I am very excited about our DW now though! Good luck to you!

Welcome!

Congrats and good luck with your planning!
