AND my entire family is coming from Hawaii. Yup. &nbsp;We're gonna have a full house with 10 people, 2 dogs and 1 cat and a full spread of deliciousness as FI is a chef. mmmm....</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/thankgiving-plans#post-492497 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:07:22 +0000 LittlestBirds 492497@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@offbeat That sounds like a lot of fun! Our friends like to do a sleepover a few days before Christmas and exchange presents, always such a good time.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/thankgiving-plans#post-492490 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:05:04 +0000 offbeat bride 492490@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>both of our families live out of town, lower michigan and flordia.&nbsp; so we will not be visiting them this holiday. instead we will be going over to a couple friend of ours and celebrating with them.&nbsp; we're having a sleep over and all so we can shop friday.&nbsp; i'm excited.&nbsp;&nbsp; this will be my first year out shopping in years.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/thankgiving-plans#post-492464 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:58:51 +0000 LittlestBirds 492464@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We flew/are flying (I got in this morning, FI is en route as I type this) to see both our families who live in the same area. FI's parents invited my family over this year, which is a huge first for both families - we are both the first to get married. We're going to need some quantity of wine for this one. :) Should be fun I hope, the parents have met once before and hit it off remarkably.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/thankgiving-plans#post-492440 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:49:12 +0000 lilyfaith 492440@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>We're doing the whole two sides of the family trek... first to my mom's family's dinner, and then to R's mom's family's dinner. Apparently the dad's sides get left out? Haha. Anyway, it'll be a lot of driving, and it's supposed to snow (eek!) so I'm just hoping the roads aren't too bad.&nbsp;</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/thankgiving-plans#post-492403 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:40:00 +0000 offbeat bride 492403@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>anyone traveling this week or have exciting thanksgiving plans</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/fi-kicking-fsil-out-of-wedding-should-i-stop-him#post-488520 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:15:15 +0000 crebre80 488520@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Your fi' rocks!!! I honestly would be ecstatic if someone were willing to pay for my dress ESPECIALLY since I get to pick which one I wanted!!&nbsp; Can you perhaps appease her (it's totally not about her but do you want this headache for the next 50 years?!) by changing her bouquet?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/fi-kicking-fsil-out-of-wedding-should-i-stop-him#post-488490 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:07:04 +0000 JoeBeth12 488490@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Bravo (and I'm echoing the other bees here) to your FI! Wow.&nbsp; Most guys can't stand when you even <em>say</em> something negative about their family members.&nbsp; Wow.&nbsp; And I'm also impressed that so many bees say let him kick her out.&nbsp; I love it.&nbsp; It's bold, forceful, that's for sure.&nbsp; Will it cause probs down the line? For sure, but so will having her in.&nbsp; You're in for trouble with these ladies, FMIL included, but this FI is a doll! I like him giving her a warning, reviewing with her the very recent history of where you've bent over backwards where the dresses are concerned (she'll realize FAST that you've kept him very much in the loop, which makes his exasperation just that -- his, and not just yours).&nbsp; Then he tells her she is unique, she will be unique because she's his sister.&nbsp; Period.&nbsp; But she wears long because she'll look foolish wearing short and because that's the way his sweetheart (you, the bride) wants it.&nbsp; He tells her that if she can't go along with that, and with everything else that comes down the pike -- yes, he gives her that warning right then, in that very same conversation -- then, it might be best if she decide NOW not to be in the wedding party and to enjoy the wedding by wearing and doing whatever she'd like!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/update-my-mil-came-through#post-487691 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:25:38 +0000 Jessie516 487691@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I'm glad it worked out for you! :)&nbsp; I know this was a sticking point for my MIL as well.&nbsp; Although, in her case, it didn't effect any family members, so I don't know why she cared so much.</p>
