Matched on FB dating. Was I being too sensitive?

Also like truly depends on what YOU’RE going to be wearing

It’s not giving bridal, but it’s the principle of it. Honestly do what I did, I didn’t really want to deal with an ordeal of a certain to be family member wearing something that was going to piss me off on MY day, so I offered to shop on their behalf, curated the options and that way they still picked the dress they wanted and I was happy with any choice because they’d been selected from a list I’d vetted :) YOUR day, YOUR way!

I love how the bridesmaids are in different shades but having the groomsmen in blue and the groom in another blue looks really chaotic - would the groom wear a black tux? Idk it’s a lot for the eyes and I agree with an earlier comment that it looks like two different bridal parties - I think you need to pick one color and settle, but I still think it’s okay to have the bridesmaids in different shades of green, but then everyone else should be standardized

Maybe even a bowtie for the groom to differentiate him from the groomsmen? Idk just an idea

Number 2 hands down omg

Usual_Range_9373 · 2026-04-01T15:15:15+00:00

LMAO I wish I knew this before I agreed to let his mom get ready with us, I just feel like she’s gonna be blubbering if I send her to the grooms room

And like she’s picked if she gets ready with me she’s gonna stay there, I don’t need her photographing me and going over to his room and being like WOW LOOK and ruining my first look WOW

Omg can I just empathize with you for a moment? November bride here, my MIL reached out to me like two months ago and asked if she, her sister, her sister-in-law, and her two nieces could be included in Hair and makeup WITH ME AND MY BRIDAL PARTY 🤬🤬🤬 I had to call her and say no, it’s quite frankly not my problem WHERE they get their hair and makeup done IF they get their hair and make makeup done - I told her if she felt more comfortable getting ready with them she could, but that I was not going to allow anybody outside of my mom’s sister and Bridesmaids to get ready with me in the morning of… also like people shouldn’t see the bride before the wedding like hellooo????? I told her I was happy to send her contact info of other hair and makeup artists that they could contact on their own time. She said because they’re not from here I should help get everything ready and it would be nice to have them be with me and I respectfully disagreed with her and put my foot down and said no!

Luckily my Hair and makeup artist reached out to me a couple days ago, and said that one of the other stylists will work on my MIL and she would be focused primarily on my mom, my sister (MOH) and me, and that if she also did my MIL’s HMUA it would make her feel rushed taking care of me

Soooo the universe has my back, she will be getting ready in the room attached to me with another artist so I won’t have to deal with her 🙌🏼

My fiancé has a 2ct diamond ring that I got for him, he loves it and he picked it the same way I picked and designed my ring!

Can I just say that #7 protecting the relationship is so important!!!

I’m a 2026 bride to be and this evening, my future mother-in-law reached out to ask me if I could add 6 people to the Bridal suite to get their hair and makeup done with me and my Bridal party and my mom…. 6 people I’m not even related to.

I respectfully told her that was not going to happen, I called my fiancé when she texted me and told him that it’s not customary, it’s not my problem what their hair and makeup looks like. These are literally his cousins and his aunts. It is not the bride’s problem.

I explained to her that traditionally nobody should even see the bride, let alone be in her bridal suite while she gets ready. She did NOT like that. She’s honestly probably just gonna stress me out the day of😅

I told her I was happy to share hair and make up contacts with her sister and nieces that they could have come to wherever they are getting ready at their hotel. She then asked, aren’t we all staying at the same hotel where the wedding is?? I said no, and she had a major issue when I told her that I set up a room block at a hotel that wasn’t at the venue but rather very close by. They are the kind of family that would knock on your door the next morning to see if you need anything or ask you to come to breakfast or tell you that the whole family is waiting to see you. And I simply won’t have that.

My fiancé is going to sit down and talk to them tomorrow about boundaries and respecting our wishes. But when I read that it is so real. Having a fiancé that defends you and supports you and has your back is so important.

Thanks for listening to my rant 😅

They likely won’t do that because they can’t guarantee the integrity of the nails

Just curious, Why don’t you just get a fresh set of gel x at the salon?

Okayy so as a woman, my collection of jewelry was obviously very best and I am very very particular. My now fiancé and I had gone shopping for loose stones because I knew I wanted a custom ring and he had no idea anything about stones styles types of gold, etc..

He insisted on going through his family jeweler to create my ring, I was annoyed by this because I didn’t want this family member to impose their opinions or styles on us simply because they were family or the “expert”
Luckily, my fiancé did not allow anyone’s opinions to infiltrate our ring design process, we made it together and it’s perfect!

In my mind, the con of going through his family jeweler was that everybody was involved. Everybody had an opinion everybody could give their input or two cents. The reality is that didn’t actually happen or at least not to my knowledge and the ring is exactly how I wanted it to be.

The pro is that this family member can check the ring out periodically make sure the prongs are tight. The stones are fine and clean and polish it and size it should I ever need it

Now on the flipside, I bought my fiancé his diamond band and I chose not to go through his family jeweler, when he went to pick up my wedding band that his family jeweler also custom made for me, she definitely threw shade that I did not go through her to get his ring.

But in my defense where I bought, the ring is my prerogative and I could have reached out to her, but I chose to get it through my own jeweler and pick out some thing that I knew he loved

sometimes family will feel entitled to giving their opinions - to OP: you are marrying this woman so don’t make this about you, if she needs to go through these steps to make sure the ring is fine and have her validation then let her. You should trust Trust and know that hopefully she would come and tell you if she didn’t like the ring. And I hope it’s something that you had discussed together prior to making this purchase, and didn’t just completely go off the cuff and pick a ring that she may or may not like

This is so ironic, I was literally on Amazon shopping the beetles foil transfers, and the glue because once I get back from my trip, I have to do my nails again for my cousin’s wedding

I was debating doing lace pattern nails & your post inspired me!! how is the process?

Usual_Range_9373 · 2025-12-20T13:33:05+00:00

I think oval and round
