by Maybe I'm just having a bad day and that's why all of this is bothering me more, or maybe it's just that the pressure has gotten to be so much that I think I'm gonna burst...
Ever feel like people are just way too involved in your life? Like I know it's cool to get other peoples opinions (esp. if you ask), but really ... where is that fine line between offering advice and being pushy?
When Mike and I first started dating, everyone was overly involved with the typical "this isnt a good idea" blah blah blah. Now that we're engaged, I feel like I can't escape all the "suggestions" people want to impose. And it's not like it's a "hey you might wanna try this", it's a "you SHOULD do this" whether you want to or not. And the worst feeling I get is that it's gonna be like this even after we're married; people are still gonna voice their opinions on what we should and shouldn't do.
I find this extremely frustrating. *sigh*

you know what you should do is. shut up. hahahah i couldn't resist. that was too good to pass up.
but seriuosly. it's part of life. people love their own opinions.
That is the best statement I ever heard in my entire life " People love their own opinion" That is so true.
thank you. i try my best. you can qoute me on that. anytime !
shut up
Probably just a communication thing. People are going to butt in and offer "suggestions" no matter what. It happens, but you will need to seperate the "wheat from the chaff" when it comes to advice. I'm assuming these are people who are more experienced and probably have your best interests at heart.
you know what we say when people are nosy in my house?? We scream at them "It's is not your BUSINESS, oh Uzziah, to burn incense on the altar of Jehovah!!!!"
hahhaha that's so crazy. i like it.
go ahead and use it. be my guest. we love quoting scripture at each other...we're nerds, i guess...another favorite is ..."where is your god?? perhaps he is sleeping and ought to wake up! or, perhaps he is on the PRIVY!!!" (from Ezekiel)
we like to remind each other that liars do not inherit god's kingdom
if you are going to do that, use revelation 21:8 which says that "liars burn in the lake of fire and sulfer, which is the 2nd death."
oh..that's wonderful..JULIE WE'RE GONNA ROCK!!!!
ignore em' thats what i would do. just the bad ones.
for a portion of the weddin gifts ill come over and lay smack down on everyone, i have a special this month on cement boots!
I think you and Mike get a lot more hack than the average couple. We have to get together this weekend, trauma I have to tell you about. I'll call you.
I totally understand you. What you should do in this situation is... (hehe get it, i'm telling you what you SHOULD do) ..... anyway.. I'm going thru this myself, it's only been a few days and my head is BURSTING because everyone wants to know everything and then offer their opinion on which way is better. My favorite is when they say "YOU CAN'T DO THAT AT YOUR WEDDING" Oh yeah, sorry I'm only the BRIDE!! haha
Do everything they say..only opposite. Like if they insist that you have to wear a white dress go get a purple one or something. Actually, that's not really a good idea but I just woke up and all. Congrats on getting engaged though!
Yeah, I'm not sure why people need to always make suggestions. Like I would make suggestions to you guys, but I would in my mind view them as suggestions, not like you have to do it or anything. It's your wedding and your life and you are both ultimately responsible for it. But if you get some good suggestions along the way, analyze them, think them out and it they work, apply them. But also expect that a lot of people still may look at you and Mike as kids (you're not) and want what's best for you. Take it for what it is and like I said earlier, seperate the wheat from the chaff...
I already have separated every time you say, "Katie, are you reeeeeally sure you wanna marry Mike?"
yeah why marry him when u can marry a real man like me! :p
I'm just joking when I say that... I hope you know... I can't imagine two people who are made for each other more than the two of you...
;-D
good, it's nice to hear that
My sister just got married like 2 weekends ago and she didn't do anything anyone said...even the little things. She simply said no to everyone and everything. You can do that if you want but, everyone's reaction wasn't pretty.
thats right sister lay the smack down! its your weddin, have a midget band if u want and a circus and and and #@$#@$@#$@#$@#$@#$
