She doesn&#8217;t know, right?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, this whole wedding thing&#8230;I think the least stressful part is everything that I planned.  Everything else?  Well, I should have known by having it in my parents&#8217; backyard.  She threw a fit about cleanliness, but there was not a peep until recently.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the absurd complaints:<br \/>\n&#8211; She said that I told her to do a speech.  I was under the impression that she was upset that she wasn&#8217;t asked to do one at Man&#8217;s wedding, so she wanted to do one here.  But then was it about just being asked?  She complained that she didn&#8217;t want to, but now she has to follow orders.  &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to do a speech,&#8221; I said and she said&#8230;but I have to!  Maybe I&#8217;ll follow up and see.<br \/>\n&#8211; Something about not having energy to clean the shower.  Now it takes multiple days.  Okay, so why not hire help?  It doesn&#8217;t make sense.  Why force yourself to do something that you feel uncomfortable doing?<br \/>\n&#8211; And something about the decks.  I told them that I&#8217;ll pay for it, but apparently they did a lot of work.  They could have hired someone, but they didn&#8217;t.  What if I just wrote them a $10,000 check.<br \/>\n&#8211; Something about how I only sent the invitations and did nothing else.  She knows that I did more or doesn&#8217;t want to acknowledge it.  She hasn&#8217;t thought through everything.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to gripe about this for a long time, so ugh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep reminding myself of that, but it&#8217;s hard to imagine.
