Revenge Wedding Plans - Justified Or Childish?

[HëllaBubz]

Here is the first of the hair changes. You'll get a better idea when I have the updo, makeup and dress on Saturday.
We're picking up the other half's new suit from the dry-cleaner tonight, he was really pleased with it, so I'm glad I chose well in the style for him.

Met the new sister in law on Sunday just gone, she's actually my age, but with some really obvious personality quirks that almost smacked of social ineptness......I don't feel quite so bad any more! But we got on ok, and she wasn't too up herself, so despite the history of her and my brother in law, she's a little easier to get along with than the other sister in law.

At least both sister in law's live a LONG way from us, so it works nicely for myself and the other half.
Now to see how I survive the wedding on Saturday!

I forgot to mention, they did my hair for $142, but in that was toner, foils + hair color, trim, style, eyebrow threading and tinting, pretty awesome price when you consider I was there for 3 hours!

I love my hair dresser, and she loves my hair!

I can't wait to see the pics on Saturday. I bet you are going to be stunning.

 

[HëllaBubz]

Why thank you SNS! *:notworthy: under bed*

:p

You can't stay under there lol. It's better to come out here and strut your stuff!

 

[HëllaBubz]

Lol. I'm getting there. I can't keep hiding forever, and besides, I have to keep my chin up so I have grounds to tell my partner to keep his up!

Excelent plan! I think you should look at the wedding as an inconvenience and your time with your partner afterwards as the main event. Make the most of dressing up. I would book a nice liitle hotel in the area just in case you get, erm, tired.

Don't use the steam room or suana until after your hair has been spoilt though, by, erm, rain.

LOL! Doubt it would be the rain. Whenever my hair is straightened or blow waved, it goes really silky soft and glossy, other half can't resist playing with it!

And here are the nails in BioSculpture......

The wedding went fairly well, there were no incidences of real note, although I was a little puzzled as to why the bride and groom flew their 2 border collies down for the wedding, when they weren't even part of the procession, and the bitch is 4 weeks off due for her litter!

Since the other half's 2 sisters and mother are heading back to Perth tomorrow, he wanted to spend some time with his sisters, so then I had to drive to the other side of Coldstream (close to 2 hour drive each way) yesterday so that the other half could see his younger sisters, but yesterday was absolutely god awful.

Other half asked the sister in law about foetal habits, given that I'm getting kicked for hours on end, and she confirmed what I already knew, it's pretty normal. But then the mother in law butted in, and said it was absolute bullshit, and I should barely be able to feel it, and anything I should feel, would only be flutters! Then tried to say that the baby is only about 5-6 inches long (erm.....I'm half way through my 6th month!

Other half was somewhat irritated/amused/aghast, because he's seen my stomach move at least an inch upwards during some kicks, and can feel it when the baby is pressing on me, and dragging a limb up or down!

On the drive home, the other half started talking about how he'd done some digging about how the mother in law supposedly hated me, and why, when I heard some of the things said, it wasn't a surprise, but then the caliber of things said got worse.
Just prior to the wedding, the brother in law had told us that the mother in law hated me, but when the other half confronted his mother and put the screw on his sisters. .....turns out the opinions of me had ALL COME FROM THE BROTHER IN LAW.

He (bro in law) also decided to take a dig at me for looking into homeopathy for the baby and myself, but as the other half stated, I looked into the research, found that claims that replacements for vaccines is complete and utter bullshit, and decided against it.
Then he had another go about how he was concerned that we were on a single income (he couldn't give a shit), but as I pointed out to my H, so is the bro in law's family!

The final straw for me was when my partner's cheating, lying, plotting drunkard whore of an mother in law pulled my brother in law over and asked if he was SURE the baby was my partners.

For the first time in a long time, I could actually see myself REALLY hurting someone, and I had difficulty trying to express just how I felt, at first a wave of hurt went through me, and then pure, unadulterated rage. Some really horrible things were said and done, to the point where I literally had an eye twitch for the hr n a half drive back home.

After a few minutes silence, the other half said that he wants to move down to Tasmania as soon as possible, he's so over the bullshit his family and mine keep dishing out, and perhaps it's time to move and start a new life and a new family elsewhere.
Thank God the other half has taken carers leave for me from tomorrow, because I'm on the verge of shut down from stress and rage.

When Jeff and I first were married we moved many miles away from our families. Problem was we were still in contact via phone, which would sometimes(okay most times) send me into a tizzy. Grass really isn't always greener.

I moved back and I'm about an hour away from family. The one thing I miss is being able to say I can't attend an event because I'm too far away.

All in all, I think it was a great thing, despite the problems following us somewhat, to be on our own far away.
