Hi all,

I'm getting married in February 2010.

I have lost 20 pounds recently and i'm trying to lose another 10 pounds. My fiance is also trying to slim down for wedding, it gives me the mush needed motivation.

First of all, is your mother forcing you to follow some religious traditions? If so, do tell them about your beliefs/ non-beliefs. Otherwise there is no point in telling others about what you beleive.

You don't need others support for what you beleive.

On a lighter note,: We have so many funny stories in our religion, like god dancing on a snake, lifting a mountain etc.

Good morning everyone

Lot of people don't know what to do about their life after graduation. My friend is still confused about it even after her MBA + 1.5 years of experience in different jobs. Even after you decide on what you want to do, you may not like the job once you actually work there.

I wanted to be a HR person, but once i landed in a HR job i didn't like it. I switched over to two different roles and landed up in something I really love. It takes time. Be Patient. Until you decide take whatever opportunities come to you and give it a try. Not only it helps you paying the bills but you may end up liking the job.

FWIW, most of the indians I have met would just as soon be called indians.

that's interesting, because most of the natives I have met have made it very abudantly clear not to be called or tagged 'indian'.. the history behind that is of course columbus called them 'indian' because he made a mistake thinking he landed in India, hence the term.... I took a Native american history course in college, and had people from native souix tribes come in and make this point very clear to us, that it is an insult because they are the Natives to this land..  are there any Native american's out there in CC world, that can help with this point? 

 I think op is mentioning about people of the country 'India' not Native american's

At 26 No i don't feel like grown up. Though life has taught me several things, I'm still the same as i was in high school.

I like to be petted and pampered like a child and I still fight with my fiance for who gets the last scoop of icecream.

Yep she do know about it. The reason why she want us to change the wedding date is her daughter(my future sil) is due one month before our wedding. She has plans to assist her post delivery.

My SIL wasn't pregnant when we planned our wedding. I can understand if SIL can't attend the wedding due to travelling with new born. But I think she can manage for a day or two without my MIL help.

We are still not sure whether this is the reason why my MIL want us to change the wedding date.

Your FSIL is invited to the wedding, yes?

She wasn't pregnant when we settled on wedding date.

 She is invited too. But we don't know whether she is going to make it.

I concur.

Though, truthfully, with this kind of dramatic MIL, the precedent is probably already set with soon to be husband. I grew up with an overly dramatic woman too and... I know the symptoms. :p Firsthand. :p

 She is the one and only dramatic woman i have come across. Looks like she has to have her way else she is like this.

This is an important question.. is she giving money towards the wedding, yes or no?

 No. money is shared by me & my fiance

I struck out with my XILs.  Things got better when there were 1500 miles between me and them.

 Wish that could be the case instead of 15 miles distance!

And what's wrong with the future in laws, black beauty?

after deciding upon the wedding date, place , arranging caterers/florists my MIL wants us to change the wedding date so that it will be a summer wedding..........Else she won't attend the wedding

I was spanked as a child. But it didn't affect me in any way.

Spank my children.... I don't have any kids... So can't answer that
