Friend & her Wedding & TTC

Was out with a very good friend the other night - she is engaged and has planned this big extravagant wedding that is in 18 months time! We were catching up and had a nice time hearing about the plans getting all excited about it etc

Then I told her that my Husband and I had plans to start ttc early next year after a big 8 week trip we have planned :) we are very excited!

Her mood changes, she starts estimating/counting up months on her fingers and gets a bit annoyed that we are considering this as it might clash with her wedding day!! I laughed and said I can't just wait for another year just to ensure it doesn't clash with her wedding!

She said there's no rush, your still young, just leave it a few extra months, we really want to have you guys there and I would be so upset if you missed it...

I just tried to laugh it off and move on (it's all hypothetical anyway as nothings happened yet and it's all ages away!)

Anyway she sulked about it for the rest of the evening and even when we'd moved the chat on she would bring it up again later as if she was trying to get me to agree to wait!

I love my friends and am excited for them & looking forward to the wedding - but think it's so unreasonable of her to try and make me agree to put my life on hold for an extra year just so I can attend an event that is just one day!!

She's being a bit crazy right??

My husband was so annoyed about her attitude said he feels like trying to plan it so the baby comes right on time for a clash and we can't attend anymore - hahaha

Cheeseandwin5 she asked about my plans and how I was and about my upcoming trip so it came up - I didn't just launch into it to try outdo her? lolz!

Her Wedding has been booked for a while so it's not like she told me about her wedding and then I just tried to do one up on her !

baby arrived 3 days before and they all ended up attending our day

Kudos to mum - the bleeding alone would have been enough to put me off venturing out, let alone day 3 boobs!

Yes she’s a nut job.

@ThreeLittleDots i couldn't believe she actually made it! she managed the ceremony & the meal then her sister took her home and stayed with her - she insisted her husband stayed on for the rest of the evening seeing as he was bestman / super involved in the wedding! she's a bit of a hero really hahah

What on earth does TTC have to do with her wedding? Does she think you'll be doing the deed on the dancefloor?

I'd just ignore her.
