Bah, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. Our landlord apologizes for raising our rent $15. We're so unbelievably lucky.

We've been in our place 4.5 years and the rent has only gone up a total of $30/month. Pretty solid.

I've been engaged for nearly two weeks, and I'm ready to elope after all of the wedding talk. It's not even on my fiancee, it's all of the family input. After the announcement it was "make sure you do it YOUR WAY, don't let anyone try to change your mind" now it's "we don't like that" and "can you change this?"
Is this why people go to Vegas and dress up as stormtroopers?

Dude, life's too short to make a party for you and one other person about anyone else. I mean, is your fiancee up for eloping? A lot cheaper.  |

Seriously. Screw what everyone else says and do what you two want. This is the biggest party of your life, do it your way.
And you still need to make sure Deerhunter keeps that date open on their tour.

She wants things a specific way, but non traditional. She doesn't have the kind of relationship with either her father or step father to feel comfortable with them walking her down the aisle. So she made the decision not to be walked down the aisle by anyone. I'm fine with that, but naturally it's all turmoil as a result.
and as of right now mooks, DH has it all open.

If you don't want to answer, that's fine, but are you paying for it, or are they? If they're not, they have absolutely zero ground to tell you what to do. If they are, well, give them input on things you're willing to / don't care that much about.
If it's important to you, though, that's the sort of thing worth standing your ground on. "Are you getting married? No? Well, I'm going to listen to the person who is."

I'll admit though, I was saving up all this confrontational energy for mine, and our families have been nothing but cool, so I might be letting out some un-needed steam here. |

We're paying for it ourselves. Lauren wants to go DIY as much as possible, and she has a vision for what she wants. She knows what she's doing, imo, and I support her ideas 100%. Well 99%, I disagreed with her on this idea she had for people to each bring a bottle of alcohol and then people can pour their own drinks. I nixed that idea. But everything else she's thrown out there has been solid and doable, and cheap.
I think everyone's freaking out b/c she's their only daughter.

Live your almost entirely collective dream. What do you want to remember? When you had the day that you wanted, or the day filled with compromises to other extraneous people?

Thats what I keep telling her. I don't want this to be a day of compromise with people who aren't involved in the relationship. Thankfully my mom's been keeping her distance to it and only offering to help with small things. Like she bought the guestbook lol.
At this point I just want to have the wedding so we can go on a honeymoon. We're not doing wedding gifts b/c we don't need anything, so we're asking for people to contribute money to our honeymoon plans. I'm looking heavily at going to see Aurora in either Canada or Alaska.

We got unlimited wine at our wedding as part of our package. We found out after the wedding some people were drunk and passed out under the tables. That was a good night. |
