5 days, only 5 days?

I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For some reason, it's really hit me today.

 

[willwriteforears]

I wish I was going to be here for 4th of July so I could practice but alas I will be on the cruise. The biggest thing is the steady hand/tripod. My camera has a stabilizer so I am hoping to get "decent" ones. I will teach you at LapuLapu FabbyFest 2009

OHANA! and HALA KAHIKI! (I think that last one is right...)

I have already let it be known that MIL is not allowed near me until after the Wedding Ceremony. No mushy gushy I always wanted a daughter bull before the wedding. I will be able to be more gracious and daughter in law like afterwards.

But maybe you'll luck out and all she'll say is "Thank you for making my son so happy."

Nope. Not possible for her to say JUST that.

You have to play to your strengths!

That was it babe!

Yes! As compared to the "speech" mine gave about how DH would always be her son, during which at no point did she mention me, or me marrying him, or our marriage at all. Yup. That was fun.

I don't think I have shared that she made a scrapbook page for our book entitled "All About Marc" Ugh.

Well wasn't that...ahem...very nice.

She's reaaaaaaaaal subtle. I have always gotten this vibe from her that she thinks I don't put DF first or something like that, like I don't take his feelings into consideration which is really RICH coming from her, the queen of telling you how to live your life. But again....she has been better. Which just goes to show........

 

[MRYPPNS]

I so feel like crashing this wedding just to see MIL in action.....I'm only an hour away

No one would ever notice. It's in a public place. I think the real show will be photo time. When I showed her the list of the photos (so she could learn it, love it & live it...yes I actually said that to her in a nice way)she got out the list she made to compare. "oooh your list is so much better than mine." Really, not surprising. Her new deal is to get a family picture with the ENTIRE side of DF's father. That is a good 35 people...how does she think we are going to do that during the reception? Durr. I refuse to do it during my picture time because I dont want all those people milling about.

Subtle...that's one word.

No seriously, she has been better. And truthfully, with women like that, that's a HUGE step, kwim? The bonding over Disney is really her making an effort. It's important to hold onto memories like that when you feel like you'd like to pull your hair out.

Exactly and I am trying to keep a postive attitude with her. It's just her annoying factor is increasing. I could do without the daily "Happy 5 Days till the Wedding" emails this week. I know that's her being excited but I don't deal well with those kinds of displays. I am very reserved and people think I am quite "witchy" until I open up to them. I also feel like I never give her the reaction she is looking for it. It's a lot of work on my end.
She has backed off and employed the gaping fish mouth when she wants to say something but thinks better of it which I truly appreciate. Things will be fine.

You're just figuring each other out. As a girl who comes from an Italian/Irish family, and married into an Italian family, may I speak from experience when I say we are very, very open, emotional people.

And if you're not that to start, she's probably trying to figure you out. Not bad on your part, just different for her. I'm confident that you'll reach a good point, you're on your way, and much sooner than I was.

Oo boy. Maybe I should write myself a note now, when I know I'm still sane: "At future child's future wedding, just say to the new child-in-law, 'Thank you for making my child so happy' and then shut up for the sake of new family relations."

Don't I know it.

Oh. My. Goodness.

Any improvement is an improvement!

I pray every day that if my son gets married, it's to a wonderful, loving wife. And that we will have a mutual respect for each other. And I will treat her with the care and love and concern a daughter in law should receive...something I'm really not privy to. However, my parents more than make up for it...and DH's dad as well. Can't have everything!

 

[Lady Lallie]

I know I have been neglecting my PTR but the Wedding is taking all of my energy and focus. I promise when I get back from the honeymoon I will focus more. I am hoping to get one last update in before but I dunno.

 

[Princesskeyblade]

Don't worry about that Just try not to stress about wedding stuff!

I find myself more anxious when I am at work, when I am home it's fine. Good thing today is my last work day!
