It just cracks me up for some reason.  I read a story on the dog, which has no front legs, so it walks upright.  And then someone added arms, and it was magic.

ETA: I think it's the jazz hands at the end that makes it.

I just want to say that I think I could rock a sea urchin headband.

Right?  Ms. Foster clearly does not keep up with wedding trends.  If it's on Pinterest and Etsy, you know it's right.

"It's HER DAY."

One of the lovely ladies who stood up with Wifey day of had a cobalt blue buzz cut. The other girl girl had an adorable brunette bob. Both women looked gorgeous and did not ruin the pictures that I have not seen yet I'm just saying the camera didn't break and everyone kept their clothes on so I think we're good.

So...if BRIDE can tell someone with pink hair, to dye it "normal", can a BRIDE also tell someone with lets say blonde hair to dye it blue? Is that ok? I mean it is the BRIDE'S SPECIAL DAY.

"As for whoever compared her to getting pregnant, having limbs removed, or getting cancer.... you're ridiculous..."

No, it isn't ridiculous. It's a more heinous degree of exactly the same principle. That principle being, in it's simplest form "the way you look isn't good enough for me, and I have the right to ask you to look the way I want you to look."

And here's a big mind fucker for you, young lady. Get ready.

IT'S NOT YOUR DAY.

Think about it. I have seen a lot of terrible behavior in my time, and when brides behave like terrible people, they usually offer the self centered excuse, but, it's myyyyy daaay.

It's not your day.

There are roughly 7 billion other people in the world. The day belongs to all of them.

It may be the day that you (and many thousands of others) get married, but it doesn't make it "your day."

It's not your day. There are no official decrees on the national calendar, the planets don't realign themselves to put you at the center of the solar system, no special mystical karmic pass is issued decreeing that you and your wants are superior to any other person in the universe, and there is no social standard of behavior that is suspended, allowing you to treat other people as lesser than yourself, or disregard the feelings of other people, because you happen to be getting married on that day. 

You do not own the day, or become dictator for the day, or have the right to proclaim yourself Queen of All Asshats for the day. You have no special magical wedding powers for the day. 

Maybe 5 or 6 hours of that day involve you getting married. But the day belongs to the rest of the seven billion, equally. You are still obligated to treat them with human respect and decency.

This does not include having the right to dictate the appearances of any of those seven billion. It is not okay to ask them to. 

I am sorry to divest you of your imaginary powers. But it is not your day. 

Mama has spoken.

Sigh, go find something better to do with your time and cry along to a Fall Out Boy album. I've stopped caring.

Wait...Fall Out Boy is a cry along band? Because I mean, I listen to them and usually it's dance around like an idiot and scream along to the chorus. Not cry. Have I been doing Fall Out Boy wrong?

My Chem...they're a little more cry along band. Though I mean really, rock ballads of the 80s is where it's at for good cry along music. And Don't Cry Out Loud. Talk about cry along songs.

I literally havemt taken a second look at this thread since I posted on the first page, but I just sat down and read the entire thing and holy shit.

One of my maids has purple hair and told me she'd wear shit brown and shoulder pads if I wanted her to, but begged me not to ask her to change her hair colour cause she loves it. What a shock? I love it too. She looks hot and that's all I want on my day. For my girls to feel like they're the sexiest people in the room because a) they are (I have some pretty sexy friends) and b) they've put up with my bullshit for years and they still love me so they deserve it.

If someone asked me to change my hair colour for their wedding day because they didn't like the do I was sporting, I'd come up with something hella worse just to spite them.

Preemptive ETA: I swear I have paragraphs.

Don't worry! If your bridesmaid knows you (and your style), she'll happily tone down the hair color for the wedding day. I actually worried about the same exact issue, until my first official meeting with all of my bridesmaids. I had the girls over for a nice dinner, and we sat down and talked about expectations for the wedding (dress styles, budget, colors, dates, etc.). The pink haired bridesmaid actually volunteered to tone down the color for the wedding! She even insisted on covering her tattoos. I never even had to mention it! She knew me (and my fiance), and respected that we were traditional. 

That being said, my suggestion is to have all of the girls together for a casual gathering. Get to talking about what type of wedding you envision, and if you need to, politely ask the bridesmaid in question if she would be comfortable with toning down her hair. I bet she won't be offended. She's your friend, she loves you, and she wants you to be happy! Best of luck!

This has to be trolling, right?

That's pretty sad that your BM knows you well enough to know that you're a petty and shallow person who would value what your wedding looks like more than respecting your BM as she is. You must be an absolute joy to be friends with.

Does anyone remember Sherri Lewis and Lambchop?

This thread reminds me of The Song That Never Ends, It just goes on and on my friends, somebody started singing it, not knowing what it was, and now we keep on singing it forever just because, it is the song that never ends......

Nooooooooooo!

 

In all reality, this thread is really making me want to dye my hair...pink perhaps? (Just kidding. My company would fire me.)

beethery

Stay pressed.

MairePoppy

@sarahwifenow - I didn't think anyone would know Lambchop!

I have AW my pink hair in attempts to AW and steer the awful awful advice away.

I don't know if I can ever forgive you for getting that song stuck in my head. It brought the duration of second grade back to me because I sang it for almost the entire school year.

I LOVED that show.

Lambchop's Play-Along, where kids come to play along and fun things are ALL WE EVER DOOOOO...

Sorry about the brain worm. I've been singing it since 12:23. I hate myself.

Thanks a lot, Maire.  Not only do I now have Lambchop in my head, but he is cavorting with Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Do-Bee, Bobby, Annette, Cubby, and Karen!
