poker face

I worked with a girl the other day (first day we met) who was talking about her wedding.  She was trying to brag about how awesome her wedding is going to be.  She told me (more like bragged) she wrote "No boxed gifts at the reception" on her invite because she thought it was a polite way to hint she wants money.  She thought she was so clever!

My FI tells me I have ZERO poker face.. meaning-- if I think it- my face says it.  Well I know my jaw dropped, cuz she definitely responded and changed the subject.

I felt bad because I am not the type to call someone out like that.  After thinking about it though- I feel like maybe she needed to see a stranger's reaction (I will never work with her again) to realize it's a bad idea.

Just curious how often this happens to you.  What was the crazy idea the bride had?  (No judgements here.. I think it would be funny to hear the different stories.)

    First Anniversary Name Dropper 5 Love Its First Comment
    edited May 2010
    my friend thought that her fiancées brothers wife (FSIL) got pregnant on purpose, just so the attention would be on her, not my friend/bride at the wedding! 

    she also didn't invite my partner of 9 years to the wedding, even though i was her bridesmaid! her reason was they didn't know him that well

    (i think i had a good poker face when she told me both of these things - wish now i had told her she was being a bitch!)

    Seriously? A goat? Can't say I'd be able to have a poker face with that either.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    Yeah. It was weird. I mean, if had been something cute like a baby duck or a puppy, I would have been okay with it, but a goat? Goats have devil eyes for Christ sake!

    Don't be too hard on him.  I do live in farm country.  They're probably easier to come by here.  In fact, I know someone that owns a goat farm.

    Can you hook me up?  We've been missing 3 remote controls since we moved 3 years ago.  It's really annoying to not have a sleep timer on our bedroom TV.

    I love goats.  Especially baby goats.  The other day, I saw baby goats on my way to work and I was so excited I almost drove off the highway at 75 mph.

    So, my FFIL is a sheep rancher.  He actually gave both me and my mom a sheep as pets to keep on his farm.  I wonder if that was a weird dowry thing?
