Today was fairly stressful for me. Enjoyed myself thoroughly with the BFF, but Groom was acting up. He was in a rotten mood because he was having to do various things for his parents over this long weekend. Well, that's no reason to be ornery with me!
Last night, I told Groom that I was going to tell my parents to call his because that's tradition as far as conveying what dates the bride's side wants, etc, etc. Goal was for them to call sometime this weekend. So then why was this such a point of contention?
"Did you call them yet?"
"No, not yet... I'm out and about, and they may not be able to hear me, so I might do it tomorrow."
"Well I thought you said you'd do it today. You still have a few hours in the day before it's too late."
"I have time to do it tomorrow if I can't do it today, so it's not a big deal." (tone starting)
"Is there a problem with you doing it today?"
"Why are you pressuring me?! I said I'd get them to call your parents sometime this weekend and they will! I told you that I'm out and about and they may not hear me because of all the noise in the background." (full tone)
"Fine, you don't have to freak out. I was just wondering because you said you'd do it today."
"I was NOT freaking out, you kept asking and asking and I already told you why I might not do it today..."
The rest of the conversation was lukewarm, at best. I sulked about for ten minutes before distracting myself with shopping for cute earrings and belts with bows for buckles.
