Bridal Shower Pic

My family bridal shower was a bust. My sister insisted that she throw me a bridal shower and I agreed because she is the Matron of Honor. My sister chose the date and I bought all of the decorations because it was a theme bridal shower and I wanted the decorations to match the theme I had in mind. My sister was totally okay with that. She had all of the invitations and guest list. The only thing my sister needed to do is give out the invitations. Well ofcourse things did not go as planned. I noticed a couple of people asked me when was I having my bridal shower that was on the list. I called my sister and I asked her about it and she would give me an excuse and say oh that she missed that person by mistake so I said okay and I said well I will give her a chance to get this together before I go off. Well my maid of honor said no one had called her to rsvp. I knew that something was up and I knew that I wasnt going to be happy. I called my sister and she said that something had come up at the church that she had to participate in and that she would not be able to throw me a shower. This was the week of the shower. I was so upset I just hung up the phone. I had invited a few of my close friend through an evite and I had to cancel the evite. They were just as upset as I was and they decided that the party should go on and we could just downsize it and have a bridal shower girls night out. I had to send out an evite and mass text at the last minute to invite everyone to my shower. We changed the time and most of my family agreed to come even my sister. Well it was time for the shower the setting was nice and my Maid of Honor decorated the room really nice and had wine ready to serve. We had our very own waitress who would wait on us hand and foot well guess what NONE OF MY FAMILY came to support me. I only had my very very close friends that attended the shower. I was so so hurt. I just couldnt understand why they would do me like that. I attend all showers and family get togethers and I bring what I am asked to bring. I called a few people the next day and no one could really explain why they did not show. I was really hurt by my sisters action. My FH told me not to worry about it because I had a good time at my shower with my friends and I they showered me with love and gifts. I know its wrong but I have not spoken with my sister since and I was so close to telling her I did not want her im my wedding. I know that would be the wrong move to make. I just dont know how to feel right now.

MIL

Ask a Question

Mother and Mother in Law

I am so frustrated with my mom. I'm not so sure how I should handle this situation so WBC family I need your help! My mother always has comments about my future MIL such as, why does she where her hair like that or she will call her a name. I almost think that my mom is jealous of the relationship that I have with my future MIL. My future MIL and I are close and she is always there for me when I need her assistance. My mom always says "oh you cant trust her she is sneaky" and she always says that I better watch my back. I just dont get it. My FH and I have been together for about 6 years and she has always treated me the same way with love and respect. I get upset when my mom makes comments about her but I am not sure how I should approach her and explain how I feel. Can someone please give me advice on this issue.

Bridal Portraits

Here are a few samples of my bridal portraits. I added the Davids Bridal sash to my dress to help it stand out a little more. I just love the detail on the sash.
