      A hand-fasting is NOT a wedding. Totally different. You weren't invited because you don't get it.

      I think the both of you are being babies about it.

      I had a hand-fasting done at our wedding. Depending on where OP lives, a hand-fasting becomes a legal ceremony as long as a vow is said with a legal officiant, witnesses and marriage papers present.

      I am just venting. I will talk to them about it calmly, but I just want to make sure not to let emotions get twisted because I do truly care and honestly don't know if I was supposed to assume I was invited or if it is a more private event.

      It sounds like a mis-communication at best, and if that is the case I'm not sure if it can be undone, except possibly pushing our Midsummer back a few hours and doing both, but that would seriously affect how much time I have to prep for our event, but possible, but I don't even know if I'm invited or to be invited or not invited at all.

      I think because often weddings are something that some women start planning/dreaming about from the time they are little girls. While guys just don't usually have that same interest. In fact, most (scratch that ALL) of the grooms I have known, just think of the cost, hate the idea of giving a speech and want it to be over as soon as possible :laugh:

      Obviously that isn't always the case though...

      My sister had no interest in a wedding cause she was very tomboyish growing up. My BIL, on the other hand, insisted. He wanted her to be treated and celebrated like a princess. Once he explained it that way, she was all on board.

      It was very sweet and beautiful ceremony that they planned together. :happy:

      I feel the same way as most grooms. But that's what happens when you suffer from extreme anxiety :laugh:

      That does sound nice - I def didn't want to draw conclusions on everyone and totally think the scenario you described happens far more often than maybe I give it credit for.

      I have seen a hand-fasting at a Christian wedding. The bride wanted to honor the groom's Celtic heritage. It was quite lovely, but only part of the ceremony and didn't serve as the ceremony itself.

      Either there was a simple miscommunication, and you blew it all up.

      Or she didn't invite you because you tend to over react and create drama around occasions that are not about you.

      I don't get any of this. Seems like so much unnecessary drama between "friends".

      This will not be a legal wedding, however I know that because they are making oaths that it is deeply significant to both of them.

      Ugh. I am really trying to bite my tongue. A very close friend of mine is getting married on Mid-summer. I was (to my disappointing and hurtful surprise) not invited to the wedding. Every year at Mid-summer we have a big celebration. I went on and planned my event like I always do. Now Bridezilla is *****ing that my event is the same date and time as hers, and having the audacity to imply that attendance to our event will suffer for it. Part of me wants to go all keyboard bully and be like "Why should I give two ****s about a wedding I wasn't invited too?" But part of me actually really likes these people and are very happy for them and their marriage, and I really don't want to do anything to spoil any bride-to-be's special day. I think she's being a bit over-reaching, even *****ing that they can't attend our event due to the scheduling conflict! What in the actual ****? I know it's her big day and her wedding should revolve around her, but my event and her wedding are two very different events, and my event doesn't need to revolve around her. If my events need to revolve around her she can send a damn invitation with a date and time on it like the rest of the world does when they don't want anything interfering with their big day. Just venting. I probably won't reply at all.

      I wear L'oreal and Cover Girl too. I'm too cheap to buy expensive stuff that I'm going to wash off in a few hours. I'm not ashamed to admit it.

      Very possible, and I'd much rather blow it all up in a random post to strangers on MFP than on the thread on FB.

      There is a method to this madness, calm down, think about it, don't reply all emotional, and cause problems.

      I'd rather rant a bit here than come across hostile towards my friends.

      I'm not saying the products are bad or not bad....But brides expect a particular product when they're paying for your services....with the BUDDY DISCOUNT those expectations need to go out the dang window.

      I did my sister's make up for her wedding. I bought MAC. LOL!

      What are your thoughts on Sephora? I've never used it but heard its good stuff.

      Sephora is a retail store for various brands. If they have their own line now, I haven't heard about it.

      Edit: nm, just looked it up and apparently they do have their own collections. Never used it.

      Haven't you done that by planning a party on their wedding day?

      Yes, and by the looks of her expectations, you should be using whatever you can find at the dollar store.
