Yes, you're the very picture of reason. You are way, way over-invested in this bouquet, especially if you believe you're in any way unable to "share this special moment in [your] life" with your mother and grandmother without it. It's a bunch of flowers.

I have 2 guesses about you...
1)you're a straight man
2)you don't have emotional bonds with your mother or grandmother
maybe a 3rd one... you had them all at your wedding.
I'll throw a 4th one... maybe you're not even married at all!!!

Anyway, I have a brand new beautiful house to organize and school paperwork to finish.

Bridezilla moment is over but please keep the encouraging words coming and also the good ideas to approach my female guests...

Thanks

That explains it.

what's wrong with the bold part?
my gay friends are much more sensitive with girl's issues and they were so mad when I told them someone took my bouquet. my straight friends laughed at me at dinner last night when I mentioned it and told me to get over it.
and you might be the person who wrote the post about buying a house you don't love.
maybe my house is small and needs some repair but i'm so happy with my life right now that everything looks more colorful, birds sing everywhere I go and my simple, modest home does seem brand new and beautiful to me. sorry if it hurts you.

hurt? what? That's some weird stretch of the imagination.

By definition, a "brand new beautiful house" doesn't need repair work.

Maybe if you had shaved money off your wedding, you'd have more to put down on a house that wasn't in need of repair work.

And stop stereotyping. I know plenty of gays who'd laugh at your post, too.

Hell, there are a bunch of straight women right here having a field day!

OK, this thread is a bit like watching a train wreck. OP, you come across as manic, sanctimonious and unhinged. Oh, and I forgot the martyr part.[/quote
What's the difference?
You felt offended because you were ignorant about the correct terminology?
I don't think it's necessary to disclose my exact heritage so I'll use the general terminology.
Thanks for your concern and congratulations on your learning experience for today.

It all sounds so absurd.

OP here..
Are you kidding me???????????
We're both studying full time and working full time. We don't have family in the country and we could not afford to bring them (visas to US cost lots of money).
They're poor back home so we often send them money to help with basic expenses... we just bought our first car and first home. So far we were both using public transportation and paying rent.
We didn't have a ceremony - we got married at the officiant's office to save in costs and we had only 40 people attending... we had brunch at a local restaurant.
I don't think I'll ever see this amount of money in my life!!!!

was it fast enough?

Plenty fast, thanks. But my goal is to waste your time, since you're annoying me.

maybe my gay friends are more sensitive than the gays you know.
and as I tried to say... beauty is on the eyes of the beholder.
I like doing repair and after reading the topic about granite countertops I realized how important to me would be to add personal touches to the house.
And nobody better than me and DH to know where to invest our money, but thanks for the suggestions.

If you didn't want negative feedback, this was not the place because we all have different views/opinions.

I'm not complaining about the negative feedback, I'm loving it!
I was sad in the beginning but now I'm laughing...
It's the only time during the entire wedding I got to be the Bridezilla and I love the fact that nobody will be angry at me later since you don't really know who I am LOL
I had fun then and I'm having fun now.

And to the nice, elegant and kind women with the nice suggestions THANK YOU! You saved my day

I didn't realize being Bridezilla was something one "got to" do. Does one aspire to be Bridezilla?

Thank YOU for bringing such high drama into this day. You're providing no end of entertainment - and I do mean no end. You're downright Palin-esque in your need to respond to every single post.

Having fun during work vacation is never wasted time.
Thanks for entertaining me.

I LOVE it-Palin-esque!! That SO made me laugh!!

I had the idea on the duplicate bouquet. It really wasn't a brainstorm just some common sense.

She'd be depressing if she weren't so goddamn funny.

Wow I wish I were a nanny... With $22/hour rates going on I would afford a bigger fancier wedding for sure!
By the way I thought she was European... Did I miss something?

Sorry but I don't have $170 bucks to spend on it again...
