Right so, weve been engaged a year, and getting married in August. Its a pretty big thing for my OH family whether it be a good or bad reason, its still the talk of the family. So theres a cousin of my OH who always HAS to be centre of attention and if shes not, she will do something to make sure she is. So... i'll give you a little insight to what shes like.... I gotta new tattoo and because her nan was talking about how nice it was and how many i had.... the cousin went out and got 2 more than me. Then i went on holiday and got my OH name tattooed on my hand.... (baring in mind the cuzand her bf have not even bin together 6 months at this point) went out and got her OH name tattooed on her hand too. GRR!!! So me and my OH are engaged and its 9 months till were married, and what do we get told on friday.... the Cuz is engaged!!! Congrats to the girl!! BUT then yesterday... she texts me telling me theyve set a date.... (remember me saying to you about being centre of attention) 7th JUNE!!! 2 months before were getting married!!! WHAT THE HELL!!!! Im fuming to say the least! My OH says shes done this before, got engaged had a big do, and even set a date, then broke it off with the guy, shes only 21!!!! I then told my MOH (best friend) who said i bet she has the same colour theme as me, OMG! i got even more mad, thinking my whole day would be ruined!!! Thank god she said pink and black. Yes people shes picked a pink and black wedding dress!!! A huge sigh of relief lol.....when all i could imagine was those coconut roll in licorice allsorts LOL.... But then i said to her ahh well good luck with it all.... she only told me that me and my OH wasnt invited!!! So glad theres NOT an invite with her name on it!!!

She sounds so childish and immature. I'm 21 and getting married.. and tbh I couldnt imagine wanting to ruin someone elses day like that... let alone try to better someone elses day with my own.. She's just going to end up making herself look like a fool hun, not you. You're wedding will be fantastic and I wouldnt worry about her having a wedding 2months before yours.. She'll spend too much time worry about trying to make it better than yours that it will end up falling to bits on the day. Stay focused on your own marriage and rise above her childishness :D xxx

I bet she hasn't invited you as hers might not be very good and you'd see!! :-)

CommentAuthorNicsquared
I think as much as possible just let her get on with it and just try and focus on your day. If she really is trying to be the centre of attention its her problem and not a good basis to start a marriage. People will talk about her day but probably not for the right reasons Unfortunately, as annoying as it is, theres not much you can do, just rise above her and enjoy your day - two months is a long enough time for people to have moved on from her "interesting" day.

what you can't do.
What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!

Charlyzard! I agree wholeheartedly - she's behaving like a little kid who wants to have everyone elses toys, whether or not she actually wants them! Gives the rest of us 21 year olds a bad name.. Xx
Oh char.. shes not a nice person. We 'get on' to save face, but its obvious we dont like eachother, its an effort to make convo with her, and i know she only told me her news coz she knew it piss me off. I really hope we have a monsoon in june and it be nice in august especially as yesterday she told me they set a date7th june ( her OH bday) his 21st in june btw. I said you sure you want to share your bday with your anniversary , she said it was OH idea..erm ok, good luck when it doesnt work out and he remembers that date every birthday lol. But they'd NOT actually booked reg office or anything.... i said you better get on to doing that on monday, you know what she said to me LOL. IF we cant get the reg office were marrying on the beach! ok!!!!! Well ive put so much time and effort into my wedding, nothing has been rushed at all. There is no way i could plan a wedding in 7 months!! I dont work at the moment but my OH does and hes cost us alot of time and money to save, she doesnt work due to back condition and her OH just quit his night job, so good luck!

She honestly just sounds childish.. it just sounds like she is trying to get one over on you.. and it wont work..! Your day is going to be fantastic.. you've put the time and effort in and people will see that. Let her get married on the beach in some weirdo pink and black dress and rush her wedding. Up to her. Just be nice and let her do what shes got to do. Your family know what shes like.. and clearly so does everyone else(minus her OH) xxx
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Silly girl - im sure she has thought it through entirely given that you cant get married on a beach but can only have a blessing if married elsewhere (normally the registry office) but then it might be for the best if they arent actually married

Oh you think thats bad.... her and her OH have only been together less than a year, they have split up twice in the last few months. Over him going out and leaving her at home, or just plain coming home, and saying to her hes had enough and he'll be going on the monday then just dragging it out. Apparently hes an only child and very spoilt. Not grown up at all. But he is only 20. So tbh i dont think the wedding will ever happen, but its still the whole 'getting one over on me' thats got me heated. Nic - I said to her yesterday you do know you have to have licenses etc and ministers, she said to me that shes not stupid and she knows 2 ministers who will marry her.... im letting her get on with it.

Yeah tbh I wouldn't bother talking to her about it - it sounds like it's destined to burst into flames. Does wedding insurance cover you calling it off? If so maybe thats the only thing I'd recommend they take out lol! Xx

you will be the one that gets one over on her for the simple reason that I doubt it will go ahead, people will be seeing through this childishness and hopefully realising how pathetic it is, and IF the wedding does go ahead, it does not sound very well put together and sounds like a complete farse if you ask me. Good job you are not going..... you will be laughing your head off or bored pooless..... plus you then wont have to invite her to yours :) Concentrate on yours and forget all about that selfish little brat. Sorry if that sounds harsh but from where I am standing, thats exactly that she is.... oh and a very stupid girl to get married with a HIGHLY unstable relationship. Very stupid!!!

What a silly girl, i dont think you have anything to be worried about competition wise..like you say i dont think the wedding itself will happen! Probably best your out of it and just focus on your own day and at least you have a good excuse not to invite her!
