Why Why WHY Why WHY… ~EDIT~
…must people insist on fucking up my wedding? Just when I think that everything is finally going to pull together smoothly, I end up talking to Jacob’s best friend (aka the best man). He and his wife are moving into their new house today. Yay for them. He now informs me though that he doesn’t know how or if he is going to be able to make it to the wedding. UMMMM… HELLO!!! YOU ARE THE BEST MAN! WTF!
There is a reason that we told people a YEAR ago the date of the wedding. The reason being so that they could PLAN ACCORDINGLY!!! But do people have enough common sense to do that?? OBVIOUSLY NOT!!! I’m pissed, but at the same time I don’t really give a shit.
If I have to recruit one of my other cousins to be in the wedding, so be it. Or we can always put Jacob’s cousin back in the wedding. I told his friend that we may be able to help him out with some money, but at the same time why the fuck should I have to be the bank here? Not my fucking problem. He mentioned that his mom may be able to help him out with some money too. I sure the fuck hope so. After I got off the phone with him, it occurred to me that he would also have to pay for his tux rental.
Jacob’s mom still doesn’t know how they are going to get out to Nebraska either. She asked Hannah if she still wanted to be in the wedding… to which Hannah replied "hell yeah". So I basically have no choice but to pray like no other that Hannah doesn’t have a seizure that day, or end up flippin’ out. Keep your fingers crossed for me on that one. I also told Jacob’s mom yesterday that Hannah HAS to be in Nebraska by July 1st in order to make sure that her dress is altered in time for the wedding on the 8th. I seriously just wish Mary would give me the go ahead to have somebody else take Hannah’s spot. That we she can just worry about getting there, and not have to worry about anything else. Of course that would make sense to anybody else… but to this family… noooo… let’s make it as difficult as possible.
Everybody from my side of the family and my friends are able to follow through with what they are supposed to do. Why the hell does his family and his friend have to make this so flippin’ hard???
I’m done bitching now. LOL I did get my first order from The Knot yesterday. YAY!!! I should be getting the second order either tomorrow or Friday. I have one more order to place today as well. Jacob wanted me to order one more monogram letter J to put on top of the cake with the C, so I’ll be doing that today I guess.
Well… I haven’t done a damn thing at work today yet. The day is now half over. I better do something. LOL
Laters,
JamieLynn =)

Talked to Jacob. Looks like he doesn’t feel like having to deal with worrying about Matt making it in time for the wedding. He is going to just tell Matt not to worry about it. We’ll have his cousin be in the wedding instead again, and he is going to have his oldest brother be the best man.
We both agreed that we have enough to worry about with getting his sister and mom out to Nebraska on time for her dress fitting. We don’t need to be stressed about a best man not showing up too.
I’m feeling better now. Thanks for the great note from anlon!!!! =)
Oh yeah… AND my dad emailed me to see how everything is going. He mentioned that he is going to send me some more money via Paypal!!! YAY!!! There is a brightside to everything working out.
Oh, you poor thing! Our best man was all wishy-washy about his appearance, too. He couldn’t get leave from the army, even though we asked 8 months ahead of time and he was due leave after finishing basic anyways. We put the next guy on “standby” for best man, and warned our one and only usher that he might get promoted to groomsman. It worked out well in the end, but the stress! OY!

We had attendant’s dress drama, too. One of my ‘maids was 6 mos pregnant, and even though she had been able to have her dress altered, we still had no idea if it was going to fit her come the day of the wedding. AAAAND I gave people the day WAY ahead of time so they could plan and save for the trip and get off work, and several of them blew me off. ….

When I later confessed in my diary that I was a little bit hurt and a little bit angry about how inconsiderate people were, several of my “friends” who had been invited decided that they couldn’t be friends with someone as self-centered and demanding as me. It’s a sucky way to have to learn about the motivations of the people you care about.

I hope that this will give you hope: the day of, it will come together. It may not be 100% the way you planned, but it will be close enough and in the end you’ll still be happily married, so even if the pew bows aren’t exactly straight, you STILL WIN. 🙂 Hang in there, Miss Bride.

RYN: Oh, P-shaw! I had a friend tell me all these same things, since she’d gone through it all before. Knowing that I wasn’t the first bride to put up with that sort of thing made it much better. And that boy of yours is a smarty! He knows the right thing to say to you to make it all better when you’re stressed, which is the very BEST thing a fiancee can do. You’ve got a good one!
