Judgmental Eyes

I have noticed a lot of judgment in people, even more so now while planning a wedding and our family. Seems like more and more people have "opinions" and are not scared to share them with you.....even when not wanted. From the wedding colors, to what we are serving for dinner to what dress I'm wearing and everything in-between.  Some individuals have even expressed their opinions about the diet I'm on now and ask "so are you just going to get fat after the wedding?" Really???? Some comments have been hurtful and some have been annoying. It just really has me taken aback and looking at why do we do this? I know that I am no saint when it comes to this area, but correct me if I'm wrong, isn't this MY day? Shouldn't this be the day that I'VE always dreamed of??? Without the Judgmental eyes?? Some individuals I already expected to have their point of view voiced to me, and I can tune those out. What is really getting me is the ones that I never even asked for their opinions, I never asked them what they thought, they just took it upon themselves to tell me how they would do things and ask a million WHY's when I tell them what we have planned for the wedding.

Then I have those who ask why are we starting a family so soon?? Why not wait a few years? Again isn't this for David and I to decide? I know it is human nature for us to form our own opinions on things and we do have the right of speech, but isn't there a time where a lil voice in your head tells you that you may want to keep your mouth shut?? Guess I'm just a little frustrated and quite tired of everyone telling me what I should be doing or the way they would do it if they are the ones getting married and starting their family.  The fact is I'm not them and this is the day that I will remember for the rest of my life and I want it a certain way.

So the way I see it is no one is perfect and I know that I have been judgemental and from this point forward I'm going to try my best to be aware of how I feel at this moment and maybe be the one to sit there and keep my mouth shut.

If you have not been nailed to a cross and crucified to only come back from the dead so we all may be saved then you nor I have the right to judge anyone. Something to keep in the back of your mind when you are giving your "opinion"
