NWR: Why in the f'n Hell did I do that?

mikenberger

So I've been seeing hub bub about that other Wedding Website place and their forums and I thought I'd venture over there and see what it's all about.

WHAT. IN. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK. DID. I. DO. THAT. FOR?

What is wrong with those broads? Someone posted something about not having a E party and they're getting married  in the next few months and have been engaged a year. So now they're deciding to throw their OWN E-party... on New Years Eve. And everybody is saying what a good time that sounds! One person pointed out that the B&G aren't to throw their own E-party and another poster posts "Well, I must be a tacky bride. I threw my own e-party and invited people that I know aren't going to make the final wedding guest list. I know I'm breaking all kinds of etiquette rules but I couldn't care less!" Bitch... you tacky as fuck. 

Why does that place exist!? 

(Sorry. got really excited about gifs.)

I'm fucking loving that cat because it looks just like mine.

My friend just got engaged and I'm in the WP and first thing I suggested was that she come on here. She was like well I have looked WW/WB a little. And I told her straight up, you don't want to go to those ones because if you're planning something terrible they will tell you it's a great idea. So yea, come to TK.

People talk about the Knot being a terrible forum....but it's my safe haven of common sense.  I occasionally wander over to the other wedding websites and then am like

She was pretty damn proud of herself too. And nobody said boo about it. It was like I was in an alternate universe.

One of the student teachers at my school is wedding planning and I mentioned being on TK forums and how I've learned so much about how to host a great even for my guests and she kind of made a face... I took that to assume she's been here, probably with a bad idea, and ran away. FWIW, her wedding website has the wonderful "We registered for a few items but would really appreciate money towards our first home purchase" ANNNNND lets not forget the "We will be having an unplugged wedding ceremony." on the info page. It made sense why she didn't smile at my mention of TK haha whatev....

Ditto, this place is my safe haven. Not just for etiquette and wedding stuff, but anything really. Plus you're all my unofficial therapists. And I'd rather have people be straight with me than sugarcoat nonsense or tell me my awful ideas are great. I like to keep it real. And not be awful.

If anyone wants to PM me some links, that'd be cool. I need some entertainment.

@tcnoble oh yea- sounds like she has been here and ran for the hills!

My friend sent me a wedding video to show me the videographer she is hiring. And I responded that the videographer was great but that I couldn't believe they did a cake smash and a honeymoon jar in the video!

I found the thread. Holy Cow. I'm so glad that I came to TK first and didn't even bother with WW when starting my planning. Those bitches be crazy.

I will say, there were a few that said "You should just host a NYE party. Not a E-party." but not nearly enough people. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?

I like to read WW, but I've never posted things. Not that it would make a difference, because no one listens to anything sensible or reasonable over there. It's like an entertaining trainwreck that I can't turn away from.

One of my coworkers tried to convince me what a great idea it was to have only open beer and wine and cash liquor, because it saved her so much money. Another one told me what a great idea it was when she sent double duty Thank You/Christmas cards. "Maybe it wasn't the most proper thing but I saved a stamp!"

There's being rude because you don't know better, and then there's being rude and saying, aloud, "Well I know I'm being rude, but I don't care lololololol whatevs #myspecialday"

I want to punch the latter.
