Are you freaking kidding me??

That Etiquette Deal Breaker thread has 369+ effing posts on it!! What In the ever living hell did The Knot do?!?

I can't even get past page 8. I quit. It's so stupid. I was gone for 6 hours and that is what I come back to? Utter bullshit.

Lots of French in this post

TK decided things had been too quiet around here lately, apparently.

Keep reading. It gets worse, but there's drinking bingo involved.

pinkcow13

Ohhh that's the thread that spawned the game? I purposely avoided that thread. Now I'm intrigued, so maybe I'll give it a shot.

Sugargirl1019

@pinkcow13 oh please, spare yourself! It's absolutely awful.

I did however thoroughly enjoy the bingo.

Actually, pinkcow, take both bingo sheets and start on page 1 and let us know what page you are on when you can yell BINGO!

...if the alcohol poisoning doesn't get you first.

Yeah I wouldn't recommend bingo unless you don't have to work tomorrow. The hangover is going to be a killer.

pinkcow13

Haha might as well give it a shot!

There will be many shots taken, especially on pages 8-12.

pinkcow13

Geez, I already are things starting to break down on page 4. I think it's time for that shot!

That thread was an hour of my life I will never, ever get back. There is not enough alcohol in the world to make the entitlement there okay.

My favorite was " it's the day for the bride and groom to be treated like royalty" and the chick who ended her special reason explanation with the word "boom." Where in the hell did these newbies come from? Geez....

I'm mad she tarnished "boom" for me.

The thread was in the TK email.

I shouldn't have been surprised when I came back this evening, but really I was surprised to see 369 posts at that time about why you should not invite SOs, cash bars are important for finances and money dances are cultural so we are all uncultured swine.

But I announced the flood early on in the thread! Yay me!

If TK had mods, the KGs could ask the mods for input.

Just sayin'.

pinkcow13

Honestly some of the stuff there was so ridiculous. I guess that's what happens when you watch too many wedding shows and wedding movies.

Haha! I put it out there for a reason.

Man there have been some classy threads lately.

RebeccaB88

I tried, but I don't have enough wine to get through half of it. Even if I bought two buck chuck I couldn't afford enough wine to finish the thread.  But I still responded. Call me a sucker for punishment.

I was also purposely avoiding that thread.....did someone seriously say that?! 

wandajune6

I avoided that thread too. Feeling better about the decision- though the bingo post makes much more sense now!

Yup, someone seriously said that. I've never seen so many snowflakes in one place, it was like a blizzard over in that thread.

Wow, I spent the better half of my afternoon reading through that thread in between doing my work. I made it to pg 11 before my head exploded on my computer.

SBmini

Can someone link me to the etiquette thread? I was busy getting married and missed it.

FiancB

I feel like these threads always happen when I have a big exam the next day and I should be studying. 

I am just amazed at the excuses and the things that people think are okay. The thread started out well- kind of shows that there are circles of hell when it comes to etiquette. Some things elicit eye rolls, some things end friendships. 

And then it went to hell in a handbasket. 

SBmini

Haha- nice. My parents tried to spring a money dance on me even though I told them I didn't want it. My dad even mentioned it in his welcome speech. Thankfully- it didn't happen.

I saw it had over 200 new posts. I skimmed through it and only clicked on every third page, lol.

The full quote was worse:

this is the bride and groom's day to be treated like royalty and showered with love and support by all those who are close to them. It is NOT an opportunity for guests to be treated to dinner and entertained for five or more hours on the new (probably kind of broke) couple's dime.

I wish I could just walk away.

I completely understand why people feel they way they.  Fine you like cash bars, no skin off my back.  But damn that thread was about our individual feelings on what are deal breakers.  We all have deal breakers of some sort.

  Why do you care so much if I will not attend a wedding where my SO wasn't invited?  It's really not that hard of a concept to understand even if you do not follow it yourself.  Oh that's right, I'm suppose to be honored that even got an invitation.   Hell to the fact my SO feels hurt that they are able to attend the same event.      

By the way, me declining maybe you can go ahead a b-list someone's SO.
