  Confession: FI broke his tooth and well I am worried about him I am also worried about or wedding savings!  This is one of the worse possible times for this to happen.
  
  Vent: I am so done with wedding planning and the family drama that has ensued.  I'm down a MoH and the drama feels like it's never going to stop.

  Confession: I haven't been getting much wedding stuff done because I've been somewhat depressed lately.  I think with the wedding getting closer and knowing my dad won't be there, people decining to attend who I really want there and the whole money thing it's going to be hard to get motivated.  I need to suck it up and move on.
  
  Vent: My mother seriously ticked me off last night.  My MOH has just been continuously running off on her own little road of ideas for the wedding and what she's wearing.  The other day she finally told me she was starting on her dress and that it was going to be periwinkle.  Um, I told all my BMs that I wanted them to wear a jewel-toned purple.  That does not equate to periwinkle.  They'll be carrying bright yellow carnations.  Now I'm slightly color-matching challenged but I seriously doubt that bright yellow carnations are going to look good with periwinkle.  I explained to my MOH that I wanted everyone in jewel-tones and we moved on.  My mother found out that this occurred and last night, at social time after our organization meeting (where the woman who's making MOHs dress was in attendance at), mom walked around SCREAMING (as if she was just talking to me) "Now you want your girls in JEWEL TONES right???  JEWEL TONES, NOT PERIWINKLE RIGHT?????"  OMG STFU already!!!!  I had already explained to her that the situation was under control, I had cut my losses on getting all the BMs in the purple I wanted since MOH was doing whatever she wanted anyway and she had been told to be in a jewel tone color.  Period.  End of discussion.  And that if MOH chose to show up in a completely off the wall color or style of dress that SHE would be the one who would be embarrassed not me.  And my mother just kept going off about how this was HER DAUGHTER'S special day and it should be exactly what HER DAUGHTER wanted NOT what the MOH wanted.  Well what HER DAUGHTER wants is for her to STFU and let it drop.  It's not worth ruining a friendship over.  She's been pretty good lately but she's got it in for my MOH I guess.  Ugh.

  Confession: I've been slacking on wedding planning lately because all the money really has me feeling down. I'm picking up the pace though!
  
  Vent: I am sick of all the typical responses from knot regulars. I hate that brides come on the boards feeling stressed and like they have a dillemma, so they ask a simple question and the regulars start talking about etiquette instead of answering the question. It's so rude, really! Etiquette is valued in some places and families more over than others and if the bride has expressed that it doesn't matter to her (or her guests) then don't keep responding with the same thing. I love the knot and I have gotten a lot of great advice from regulars, but when you start telling a bride about her poor etiquette and not answering a question, you are just being judgemental and not at all helpful.

  But...if someone comes on here and says "I want to do this really rude thing; I know it's really rude, but I don't care, I'm going to do it anyways, so tell me how to execute this really rude idea", and the regs offer ideas as to how to execute the really rude idea, then they're in essence giving it a stamp of approval. That's why they come back and say "your idea is really rude, here's why, and here are some alternatives that aren't rude."

  I suppose my problem is that the bolded doesn't generally take place. And that many regs word their answers in such a way that it sounds, not saying they mean it that way - just that it sounds, condescending. It hasn't happened to me much and I'm easy to let that kind of stuff go, but I can't imagine that it makes some more sensitive brides feel very welcome. It's too the point where half of all posts get the response of etiquette. It's sad to me.
