OMFG. It also sounds like this bride has to pre-approve everyone's bach party outfits. Don't wear white, bitches!

I think it was a bride venting about her FSIL and then the FSIL commented on the thread and then it just exploded.

We might be thinking of different ones-- but just a few weeks ago, a bride came on the E board complaining her FBIL wouldn't take off work for the wedding.  Then FBIL's wife commented that he doesn't have vacation days left and how dare the OP assume FBIL didn't want to come.  It was pretty righteous and OP ended up delaying her wedding so FBIL could attend.

Also, what post was this? I totally missed it!

Still not quote boxes to be seen here. I'm still here. I posted this late last night and am usually not a morning knottie. To answer everyone's question, the bride is 29

No new comments since last night. Bah!

Can we RSVP to have shots with her bitches?

A 29 year old woman wrote all this? Unreal.

This bride sounds like she has leftover tickets to a Yankees game she's trying to get rid of. Geesh.

I remember the whole Carson thing. And then she turned in to the pyscho one. The internet is full of so much win.

I can't decide which part is the worst, but one of the top contenders is the fact that HER MOM is sending out the invitations.  If you're not old/mature/responsible enough to mange that yourself, perhaps you're not ready to get married.

I couldn't believe this either. Your mom is not sending out invitations to your birthday party, she is sending them out for your wedding! The person tagged is her fiance, who is 30. I can only imagine him getting all these notifications and being like

Holy shit. Whaaaat? None of these friends have a problem with this?? You win.

That's the funny thing with etiquette - and to me, social networking. You never truly know if you're offending somebody unless you follow etiquette in every way possible. Then social networking sites give you an opportunity to mask your initial reaction and respond a different way. 

I really wish I could have seen her friends' and family members' facial expressions when reading the status!

I absolutely hate it when people refer to their friends and loved ones as bitches. I don't understand the use of derogatory terms to refer to people that you claim to care about. Besides being disrespectful, it's rude and inappropriate.

All of the other etiquette aside, this really peeves me.

The only post I had read was about estranged family members not being invited and it didn't seem like a huge shit show.. What did I miss?

Girl posted a list on Facebook of who was not invited to her wedding. Also, sent out "un-invitation" letters telling people why they were not invited (including a letter to SaraBrideSoon that basically said "I don't think your relationship is serious"). Then there was gift-grabby asshattery and other juvenile nonsense, and Rude Bride's daddy had to jump in on Facebook to stand up for her. It was appalling and hilarious.

@wandajune6 Me too! I was going to say if I'm at your bachelorette party and you start referring to me/ us as your bitches- you might get a drink to your face lol

I'm with you! FI's niece speaks like that (she's 12) and it drives me crazy! I'll call her out on it - but if it was a friend, I'm with you on the drink!

(Actually, I wouldn't. I'd silently seethe and judge and wish I threw a drink but would keep my mouth shut and my hands to myself. When I got home, FI would then hear endless bitching and regret about not throwing the drink. I'm just not confrontational.)

"It's short notice so you don't have to bring a gift."

HAVE TO?  Gee, how nice of you to say. 

By the way, OP, love the popcorn picture. We definitely need that around here.

@inkdancer Is that still around somewhere? When I'm dealing with rude customers it might be nice to look at to remember there are worse people out there!

I still can't believe late-20, early-30 year olds are responding so well to the thread in OP's post.  If I saw this on one of my FB friend's pages....

I don't think it is, but someone may have better resources/memory than I do.

Totally agree that they sound very, very young. My friends would never pay $100 for all you can drink, but they'd never drink $100 worth like we used to.

She'll realize these breaches of etiquette and common decency once she's attended a few more weddings and wedding related events.

I'm the first one to get my knickers in a twist over the wearing white issue, but that's for the wedding imo...  No white for any pre-wedding events? Really?  Even if they're taking place after Memorial day??? lol  This bride can suck it.

"gift-grabby asshattery"  

@inkdancer cracking me up

fourtsixand2

I love the response "Of course we'll bring a gift, it's so tacky to not bring a gift!"

Hmm ......two peas in a pod.

fourtsixand2

Ohhhhh muh gawd.  $100 a person to attend her person, divided by the # of people plus extra to pay for her?

Please tell me who this is so I can friend her.  HA!!!!

 I will give her a couple of points for those shreds of etiquette coming out, but she is still in the negative.

Wonder if she is a knottie?

Oh she's way, waaaaaay in the negative.

I couldn't believe this either. Your mom is not sending out invitations to your birthday party, she is sending them out for your wedding! The person tagged is her fiance, who is 30. I can only imagine him getting all these notifications and being like

My parents hosted and paid for most of our wedding.  As the hosts they are the ones who sent out the invites.  It has nothing to do with me not being mature enough to handle the invitations.  They are the hosts and the invites come from them.       Now I did fly up to the states to help addressing the invites, but any invite done after I returned home would have been had to be done by my mom.

   Add in I was living in the islands and lord knows when or even if the invites would have made it to the states anyway.

This girl is a mess and sounds immature, but the fact her mom is sending the invites in itself does not make her immature.

You're right, I'm sorry! I always assumed even if the parents were hosting, it was the bride and grooms responsibility to address and send the invitations.
