This is a bit of a rant... I'm so very happy for my brother. He proposed to his girlfriend last month. A bit quick because they only started dating in January, but it is what it is. I've honestly only met and talked to her a few times in person. She's.... ok. I like her as a person. She worked for my aunt as a nanny this summer some, and screwed her over because she quit unexpectedly and without much notice and my aunt had to scramble to find a replacement. Fiance has pretty high social anxiety too. I don't know if this is something she realizes or is getting treatment for, but she should. The 4 of us (my hub and kids) met up with her to go watch my brothers high school football game on friday night (he's a coach), and we got there before her and she was completely stressed that she had to walk from the parking lot to the gate by herself (we were there waiting for her).
Now the wedding.... she asked my husband and I to be in the wedding as a groomsman and bridesmaid, plus my 2 kids as flowergirl and ring bearer. They picked a date in mid-June next summer. Again, pretty dang quick, IMO. I told my brother that honestly, I would NOT be offended if I weren't in the wedding. It's not something I really enjoy, not to mention I will have a 5 month old baby. HE said it was up to me, so I said yes out of guilt. I will now have to find someone to care for the baby all day, which will be a chore itself. THEN, this is a big kick in the nuts for my family, they have decided to have an adult only reception (besides my 2 kids and my aunts kids, who will be distributing programs at the church). My family alone has a ton of little kids in it. We have first cousins who range in age from 2 to 13 (the cutoff age), not to mention older first cousins have children of their own. This will really ruffle some damn feathers. Not to mention my kids will be bored out of their freaking skulls, which in turn will make me and my husband miserable because we will be entertaining our kids instead of them occupying themselves with cousins and other guests their ages. (I know, this makes me sound bitchy and pretentious).
Now on to the bridesmaid dress:
http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_...esmaid-Dresses in the color guava (more of a coral color in person, I guess). I am going to be the only "big girl" in the bridal party, not to mention the fact that I do not tan, so this is going to look horrible on me. At least it's on the cheaper end, and I'll donate it to the OU Delta Gamma prom dress drive the following year. Whatever. Now Fiance sent around an email this morning:
Hello Everyone!! I just wanted to say thank you soo much for all being apart of the bridal party 
My Matron of Honor just so you all know is my Sister I went with 2 of the bridesmaids today to try on the bridesmaids dress that I liked and it looked fabulous on them, and the color is definetely a coral in person, its kind of hard to tell online!!!
Anyways its from Davids Bridal and I was hoping that everyone could go to a Davids Bridal within the next month to try on the dress and find a size that fits. And then let me know which size will work for you. I am not sure if I will be ordering them together or just have you order them from your nearest store...but I will let you know. I was also thinking silver shoes since the boys will be wearing a gray tux but I will let you know if I find a pair that I like...Im looking for some deals so they wont be too expensive for you all!!
I attached the dress again so you can see what it looks like.
Im getting excited!! Just let me know once you go try on the dress what size you are, I would like to order them no later than the middle of October just so we know everyone has it and that they dont stop carrying it or anything... Email, text or call me when you have tried on the dress and you know your size!!!
Um, NO. I want to scream NO at the top of my fucking lungs. I am NOT trying on nor ordering and paying for a dress while I am 20 weeks pregnant. We just moved, and we are about as broke as they come right now (a ton of our savings just went into "deposits" for freaking utilities), plus Hubby and I both just had to drop nearly $1000 on new tires for both of our cars. I would much rather wait until the baby is out and I have lost some of the baby weight before trying anything on and ordering. I told my husband I'm considering backing the 2 of us out of the party, and he said "That's rude." (I stuck my finger into the middle of his sandwich as retaliation and said "no, THAT is rude." What can I say, I'm uber-bitch right now).
Anyway. I'm thinking of backing out. But I'm definitely telling her "NO I'm not trying on nor buying any dress in the next month." I'm just trying to figure out how to do it gently.
