  You know when your dating......

  you know when you are dating you do all those cute things for each other...all the little text messages, random calls, make out sessions, cuddling.

  it's great and you love it.

  but should that all stop or change because you get married?

  "not a good example"

  i have a concern i guess or just want to vent.

  my husband and i - as most of you know - we're married just a little under 2 months and you all know at that point i was still "active" in the org.

  we had a few issues with our bridal party - namely the groom - cuz according to them he wasnt a good example and not in good status because they hadn't seen him at the meetings or in service for like 2 months.

  I would liket o thank all of you for your words. Unfortunately we are just going to have to deal with this because his brother and fiancee are fixed on having the wedding at the hall. I spoke to my husband last night and he said "it is what it is". It's a shame things have to go down this way but i appreciate all the advise.

  Thanks again

  No we havent been married long. We got married almost 2 months ago and he's been a fader for a while and i'm just starting so that has a lot to do with it too. But i will be supportive.

  Thanks everyone for your words - i needed to vent and didnt know who to vent to........

  I totally agree - ive seen situations like that and it boggles my mind. Even with my wedding - his elders said he couldnt but my elders said they had no problem and it was at my hall. So why the discrepency - why was it ok for my elders to say yes but his said no. Crazy....

  Thank you for the information. It has helped. He is probably upset that he cant be a part of it. You know it is his only brother. Its helped me look it from a different point of view. Isn't it crazy how things work?

  What bothers me is that he knew this was gonna happen. It happened for ours. He kept saying I'm sorry i know it's my fault I'll sacrifice but he didn't. But he knew that he wasnt gonna be able to be in the wedding - so why get angry - it's like what else did you expect. I know it's his brother and if that's why he's hurt then i understand. He made it seem like he's upset the elders said no....

  I have a concern i guess or just want to vent. My husband and I - as most of you know - we're married just a little under 2 months and you all know at that point i was still "active" in the org. We had a few issues with our bridal party - namely the groom - cuz according to them he wasnt a good example and not in good status because they hadn't seen him at the meetings or in service for like 2 months. This was a concern for me due to the fact that i wanted (for my family and friends) the wedding at the hall. He swore to me he would go just to make it through the last 3 months we had left before the wedding. Of course something always came up and he never went and I was a little upset because he could not go to a meeting "for me" and "for our wedding".

  Anyway that's all over - we are married now but here is the funny part. And what i want your comments if any. His brother is getting married in a few months and they are both active. My husband was supposed to be the best man - it's his only brother. Well he found out today that he was not "approved" to be in his bridal party. I didnt expect any different we havent been to a meeting since we got married.

  So I asked him if he was ok and he said he was a little upset. I don't get this. Is he upset because he wanted to be a part of his brother's wedding because honestly he doesn't want anything to do with the witnesses so why get upset if you haven't been to a meeting and you know how the rules are. I'm trying to be understanding and supportive - seeing as we have other marital issues right now - but my question is...why get upset if this is the life that you want? I am truly sorry it's his brother and he cannot be a part of it. But honestly you can't expect any different.

  I'm sorry I guess i just needed to vent.

  As you know I recently started my fade while my husband has been doing it for years. So it's still all new for me. Well last weekend I decided we should celebrate halloween and bought tickets to this halloween cruise. We dressed up and went. I must admit at the beginning it felt a little weird. As the night went on it got a little better. I guess also we went by ourselves. We didn't know anyone.

  We are planning to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. Any suggestions on making these a little better. Is it because it's all new to me?

  He made a comment on the cruise - he said "I feel so liberated but I know you don't". Then he said you will soon understand. I want to be in the same place he is. I just don't know....I guess I'm still not there. But I want to enjoy the holidays coming up. What can I do?
