If you ask me, no explanation was necessary. You started with 'we are doing this' and apparently no one listens. I THINK THIS IS AWESOME!! Maybe something like 'Running to our Future' or something that would include you two as a couple and the bridal party could be 'Running for Team Bride/ Team Groom.' Idk if that is too cutesy but something that included everyone doing it with you would be a nice nod that they are backing you up, even in the mud. Again, I THINK THIS IS SUCH A COOL IDEA! Have a blast!
ATTN EVERYONE. I am going to jump off the roof. First things first, I AM DOING THIS. What thread count sheets would make the best parachute? My WP is doing this with me because they love me.

You should probably start a GFM so you don't have to pay for the sheets.

Why do people troll this forum? If you're into that thing, I can see trolling reddit or something hugely popular and varied like that. But theknot?

It's just real sad.

Anyway, there is no such thing as too much time to get ready. We started getting ready at 8 and I had one person doing hair and makeup. We barely got done in time and didn't get to my MIL. Plus I don't want to be rushed and I want to enjoy time with my family and bridesmaids.

I'm curious, do these people that you demand join you in this mud run even race? I find it highly improbable that every one of your bridal party enjoys running and is fit enough for a race, let alone an obstacle one where they'll get filthy.

Let me start this by saying, we are doing this. My fiance and I are avid mud run enthusiasts and we discovered there is a college spartan race (only like 2 miles, 15 obstacles), on our wedding day in the morning. We have decided to do this race and I have no idea what our team name should be. I was thinking something wedding themed. My entire bridal party has told me that they will do it with me, love them so much.

Ok, great.

This is crazy. It's your wedding day. Skip the mud race and just enjoy getting married.

ETA: If I was one of your guests, no I would *not* understand at all why you are wasting my time by showing up late to your own wedding because you wanted to do an obstacle run. . Which I think are ridiculous events that people do just to posture and gloat over their e-peens.

You want to feed your insane running addiction, do it on your own time. Don't waste other people's time.

And cut me a fucking break with the lame reporting of posts and the TOS edits. Really?

We're fucking adults here and this isn't TB. I find it hard to believe someone can handle these crazy ass obstacle runs, but gets so butthurt when people say her idea is insane or crazy. Which it is.

Logistically this race starts way too late for you to have enough time to get ready for your wedding.

If this started at like, 7 a.m. I'd say it was a bit close but you do you.

But 9:30? Girl, unless you and your H and your wedding party are the first to every obstacle, you guys aren't getting out of there till 11 or later.

Keep in mind other posters (including myself) have posted that we started hair at 8 a.m for 3-5 o'clock weddings. Unless you and everyone else in the party is doing wash and blow dry and done, there is no way you're going to get ready in time.
**boxes boxes**

Not only that, but chances are the wedding party all run at different paces and have different levels of athleticism. When estimating time to finish you have to go by the time of the slowest person in your group, not the fastest.
But they LOVE HER so they'll run FAST. Duh.

I dont love any single person enough to participate in one if these death marches.

Running sucks enough as it is, I don't care to add obstacles, stagnant water, and the risk of tetanus and MRSA into a run; I've known several ppl to get nasty ass infections from getting cut on obstacles during these races.

If I wanted to experience that level of hell I would have enlisted and gone through boot camp.

I'll stick to the elliptical and other forms if cardio.

Mighty Mudding Wedding Rangers has taken a strong lead and there are no other challengers out there. Although I do understand that, it is a really great name and will be hard to beat.

Oh, the trolling.
She's straight-up ignoring the point, because she wants to do what she wants to do.
Girl, no one else is going to suggest which brand of gasoline to burn down your neighbor's house with.

That's just stupid. You never use an accelerant because it can be detected during the subsequent investigation.

WTF is going on in this thread? Why are there edits for TOS? No one violated TOS.

Grow up, OP. Your idea sucks. If you can't handle honest opinions, go over to Wedding Wire. They'll be sure to blow sunshine and rainbows up your ass. CUZ IT'S YOUR SPESHUL DAY!!!!11!!!

I was wondering the same thing. There is also a KnottieNumbers on the page before that shows as banned and she had two posts, none of which violated TOS that I can see. UO? Yes. Ban worthy? No.

AddieCake · May 2015

I got a TOS violation for saying I thought the OP was insane for wanting to do this. I would have been allowed to say I think the idea is insane, but calling the person insane was against TOS. Ummm, ok.

I'm pretty sure it's because she was the OP who created an AE to support her own terrible idea.

@AddieCake, that is so stupid. I am rolling my eyes so hard right now.

JennyColada · May 2015

Can you say that she was ACTING insane?

Jells2dot0 · May 2015

Several posts were reported. Including a post by the mod. KnotRiley got involved and I issued warnings based on those discussions. Sometimes it sucks being a mod because you want to overlook things because you agree with them. However, when posts are reported, we must address them in an unbiased fashion. we can't be biased by our own opinions.

Narrow-minded? Look, if someone has had a wedding and tells a bride-to-be that they should probably rethink some big, exhausting, athletic competition the day of the wedding, that bride-to-be should probably listen. It's not being narrow-minded to try to warn someone that they probably don't realize they are biting off more than they can chew.

AddieCake · May 2015

And can I cry TOS violation on being called narrow-minded? I'm offended.

Seconded. What a dumb thing to be warned over.

Pretend this is an eyeroll gif.

If that's the case, then why wouldn't the OP have been banned? Isn't it an IP ban?

No. If you're caught with an alter ego, only the AE gets banned. Your OG account stays intact until/unless you receive enough warnings to get banned. All bannings are not IP bans.

Thanks for clarifying lolo.

ETA - I still find it strange though. Knottie Numbers created her account over a week before the OPs post. It wasn't like it was created after the post in direct response to it. Creating an AE in advance in case you need it? Makes no sense.

So I still wonder.....was the IP confirmed to be the same or was the ban in response to someone above speculating that the OP created an AE to respond to her own post?

When bullshit like this crops up, the user's information gets looked into by the admin. Typically, the user doesn't have the foresight to use different email addresses to create the accounts. Sometimes they do, and the IPs are the same. The admin will then make the call about banning AEs.

MairePoppy · May 2015

@JoanE2012 AEs are confirmed by KnotRiley or Knot Holly. That decision isn't left to the discretion of mods.

You do realize that in addition to being the bolded, we are also friends, family, bosses, brides, grooms, wedding party members, and WEDDING GUESTS, correct? we are not vaporous entities that do not exist in real life just b/c you don't care for our advice or the direct way that it's delivered.

It never ceases to amaze me that trying to reduce the people who have read the OP, taken the time to give constructive feedback, and are actually human beings to "random internet strangers" in order to validate a bad idea is actually a thing. Such one dimensional thinking.

The point of the entire post was getting a team name. Everyone else has made their arguments and posted their thoughts, gifs and some very good points that hadn't been considered. I have appreciated the good points and a few of the gifs. The only purpose of this post, has been to get a team name. It's not trolling, it's trying to get people back to the actual purpose of the post. I understand your points and they will be taken into advisement and discussed when I talk to the bridal party about this race again. We haven't registered for the race yet and we may not all end up doing the race. Now please, team names for the race?

Well everyone has covered basically what I was thinking. Personally I wouldn't do this because although I love running in the mud (hello cross country runner) I'm clumsy as fuck and would most likely injure myself. I'd rather avoid that on such a big day.

Anyway, my point would be if you're going to follow through with this why not ask the people on your team? I'm sure they'd prefer a name they come up with. More inclusive and whatever. I always believe it's better for team morale, no matter when I'm participating in an event.

That is all.
