Dude she's a manipulative ****. The best way to deal with her is... well I don't know, but don't give into her.
Mak never "gives in" oh wait never mind.....I can sometimes get him to do things he doesn't want to do. :tongue:
wear a wedding dress...she'd probably go insane and start blowing things up... My sibiling's spouses are horrible, though so are my sibilings so it doesn't really matter... Viva La Non-Pink Hanky!! Don't give up the fight...
What's the problem? It's a scrap of pink cloth. You afraid it will make you gay or something? Cuz yeah, it's documented fact that wearing pink makes you want to fellate strangers. Just choke the bitch out and get on with your life.
Poor Mak... it will all be ok. Is the pink to match the bridesmaids? Or just to piss you off? Tell her you will only wear the pink hanky if you can also wear a feather boa and a big furry hat...
meh, you sound like a whiny child over the pink hanky thing not to say she doesnt sound like a rabid freak. she does. but to pick a fight over the colour of a hanky on their wedding day, when they picked out the colours? what are the theme colours anyway? you might be able to suggest crimson/red instead, if shes going with a variety of pinks as a lot of brides seem to end up doing. its not going nto scar you forever to wear the hanky during the ceremony. you can pull it out as soon as the ceremony and photos are done, ie at the reception (assuming youre going)
Congra- oh... uhm... say the love of your life is coming from Japan and you have to go meet her there. Or, you have to work, no time off.
mmmm, I don't see what the problem is with the pink hanky. As for her being this-that and the-other, who cares. It's your brother's life. He's got to live with her, not you. And if he's half as stubborn as you seem to be, your opinion of her is not going to change his mind, so you will have to deal with it, and he will have to find out the hard way.
pink is in, my compadre. If you love your bro, I'd do it. Forget taht ho. Don't let the bastards grind you down.
I agree with the majority. Surely there are more constructive and mature ways to put a bug up this woman's arse than not wearing a hankerchief. Get drunk as a skunk and become the resident lush, get your brother drunk, force her into public displays of affection by starting cheers such as "dance, dance, dance"....etc. etc.
Here's the story: She texts me out of nowhere asking what I'm wearing. Which I already cleared with my brother. I tell her what I'm wearing and she tells me what to wear in the very next text. I refused as I was to understand she was doing the womens half and my brother was arranging the mens half. She then asks what I want since I'm the best man and she'll make the groomsmen match me. I tell her I dont' want them to change their plans over me. Nobody will care or notice that the best man isn't wearing a pink hankerchief. She asks again what I want. I suggest a light or baby blue since it's guys and it will offset the pink. My brother is wearing Navy dress blues. She says their black and we'll look stupid with blue. I told her pink doesn't mach his uniform either. She had no intention of liking ANYTHING I would've suggested and asked for the sole purpose of being a twat. I told her again that nobody will care if I'm wearing a hanky. I'm his big brother, and the best man, it'll go over fine since it's all about love and union and not a fashion show. She starts getting upity and I told her to fuck off and just count me out of the wedding. She was throwing a fit because we wouldn't "match". My youngest brother, a groomsmen, isn't even getting a suit, so he wont have a tie OR a hanky, but she's going to jump my shit for no reason? Ps. Black tie, black suit and white shirt means a white hanky. I agreed to the pink hanky if we had pink undershirts. She didn't want to do that. Fuck her. Pps. She also made a point to tell my brother that I'm bailing on the wedding because I'm not into fashion shows. This is one event I'll be glad to miss.
Yes he's as stubborn, probably more so, than I am. I've never tried to change his mind and never spoke out about her. I've respected his choice and bit my tongue repeatedly as my brother and I fall out because of her grasp on him. I still wont openly speak against his wedding. I wont take part in it, but I wont interfere either.
Oh, I know. And she doesn't like me. I'm sure she's got a replacement on standby for me. I doubt her texting me last night was an accident at all. Fuck it.
