Vent about my wedding last weekend...

OP, you are quick to stereotype gay men, yet you found it offensive when your photographer stereotyped you.

Bit of a double-standard, don't you think?

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.

Did the angry nanny get married last Sunday?

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?

I don't have it all memorized. Maybe your nickname can be the "crazy Ibero-American." And if this is what you're doing for fun during a vacation (honeymoon?) that's not only crazy but sad.

If you are a nanny, are you working today??

Another distracted participant... I disclosed earlier in the conversation that I'm on vacation from work.
And I wish I were a nanny but unfortunatelly I'm not.

I never stereotyped them I just shared the information that they were very supportive during lunch tomorrow and were willing to jump on the hunt with me.
Honestly, they were the only ones that really supported me. Even my gal friends, suspiciously, said I should not care about it... I don't want to judge so I don't want to think that they know who took it...

I just made a wedding cake on Saturday and guess what? The humidity and heat caused it to fall apart.

August is probably the worst time to be having a wedding cake stay in one piece.

So really, it's your fault.

In half of your posts it sounds like you know who took it. In the other half, it sound like you don't. Which is it?

Hey, is your husband enjoying the honeymoon as much as you are?

Honey, if I were to read through all your posts I would be here for days if I tried to make sense of all of them.

Seriously, you are on vacation/honeymoon and you taking the time to post on DCUM?

Hilarious...

I'm on vacation but not honeymoon.
We're all back to school and he's back to work.
Honeymoon is in 2 weeks, darling.

Thanks for giving me the chance to bring some laughter to your day.

You are seriously having losing your mind over a wedding bouquet... to which you'll undoubtedly respond with three capitalized, emoticon strewn, over-punctuated paragraphs on how calm and reasonable you are. Let it go. Let it go. I couldn't even tell you where my bouquet is at this point. Because who cares? But I have an amazing husband and family, some hilarious/cute/sweet stories, and a boatload of pictures if I really feel the need to relive the day.

(I know, I shouldn't, but she's so high strung it's almost hard not to poke her.)

No I have not lost my mind over it.
I'm only upset because I was planning on sharing this special moment of my life with the 2 most important women in this planet - mom and grandma - and because someone took it I will not be able to do so.
Anyway, let me write this women an email asking for my bouquet back.

Thanks for your participation.

No one took your moment, just the bouquet. Have a little perspective.

I hate to be suspicious but I just sent out an email using a kind/elegant wording suggestion from a very nice PP.
Can't wait for the responses.

You're so absolutely right.
I bet in a few days/months I'll be looking back and laughing at it.

Okay, so do you or do you not know who took it?

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.

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.

I think your husband's beholder is broken.
