Baby Shower & Wedding Woes
Posted: Aug 11, 2009 9:35 AM

I am really frustrated right now and need to vent. DH and I will have our one year wedding anniversary on October 18th. I feel like everyone is trying to ruin if for us. First office, one of my cousins has the nerve to have his wedding less than a month before my anniversary. Seriously?! What is his problem? My anniversary was set before he picked a date. Then my other cousin's baby shower 2 WEEKS before my anniversary. Seriously?? She isn't due until December. It could have waited.

Don't they realize how this will make me feel?

Oh Bride I understand, I can't believe they would be so rude. I can't imagine anyone not considering that this is a special time for you and your husband. It is your time. They should respect that.

Since you are in the New York area and not in New Jersey I will not be to upset with you that you will be celebrating your anniversary in the very same week that I am. I know that you didn't mean to do that it was just an oversight on your part.

How inconsiderate and rude! Your cousin should have planned her pregnancy better.

Ugh! That's just wrong! Really, don't they know that the month of October is always going to be reserved for you? It's always your month from now on, I thought that was just an understood and unspoken rule amongst everyone. That baby shower should never have been planned for October. And really, having a wedding so close to your anniversary?? Well why not just have it on your same date, I mean it's so close it may as well have just stolen your spotlight right from you.

Some people are just so inconsiderate. I'm sorry you feel so frustrated. The nerve of it all.

Ok, your anniversary is ONE DAY and people aren't planning their lives around it. Sorry. Your cousin having the baby isn't the one throwing the shower, so pretty much when the hostess can throw it is when it should be. And who cares if your other cousin is getting married less than a month from you it's not on your day so why does it matter. I didn't memorize all my cousins' anniversaries and plan my wedding around them. No one is intentionally ruining your anniversary for you. I hope you do have a great anniversary though and enjoy all the other big events surrounding it. :)


True love is like a ghost which many talk about but few have ever seen.

I hope this thread is a joke...but if not, you had your wedding day. That was the one day where everything revolved around you. That's all you get. People cannot be expected to revolve their lives around your anniversary. End of discussion.

Even though an anniversary is only one day it is inconsiderate of someone to plan an event around that one day. Suppose she wanted to take a trip to celebrate? Now she has to limit herself to when she can do that because of them. That is sad since she had the date first, they should have taken that into consideration when they planned their events.

MMMmmmmmmMMMM Popcorn!

When is my wedding
 

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leaves you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing and listen as heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Bride2008, I have a confession to make...my birthday is the day after your anniversary. I'm so sorry that my parents did not take the fact that someone, somewhere may want to have their anniversary in October into account when they decided to have me. I hope that you know I never would have done this on purpose, and I am SOOOOO sorry!!

I would also like to say that I totally understand how you feel. It wasn't bad enough that my friend ended up in labor on my wedding day and had her daughter, but she INSISTED on celebrating her daughter's first birthday and wouldn't travel 7 hours to celebrate our anniversary. I mean, seriously - nice priorities.
