Is this girl for real?!

melmac86

So sometimes when I'm really bored (like right now) I read threads on some of the other boards. Today, I clicked on the Wedding Recap and Withdrawal and I don't even know what to think. Basically, this girl recapped everything that she disliked about her wedding, which was enough to create the longest post I've ever seen. If you are terribly bored like me, here is the original post (WARNING - I'm not kidding - it's practically long enough to be a couple chapters in a novel):

Anyway, besides the really sad part about her cousin, I think this is outlandish to say the least. I feel like she probably has a really miserable life, beause she finds only the negative in every situation. Just wow.

I really thought that was MUD, but it seems that person was a regular on June 2012. There at least has to be exaggeration.

Although I really don't get the person who said a trip to Hawaii for two is over $2,000 for one day. I just booked flight and hotel for six nights for under $1400 total for two people.

I knew that name looked familiar she pops up on the Hawaii board now and then, BUT JEEZ!  I honestly can't believe how one person can accumulate that much bad luck.

ETA: My eyes bulged at the 510 bridal shower invite count.

That was way to long for me to read but if you have a post that long complainning about things that went wrong on your wedding day my guess is that you were focused on the wrong things.

She had a destination wedding with a 30 minute cheese and fruit platter reception.  What in the fuuck is wrong with people that they think that's acceptable?  And she's complaining that the guests at her AHR didn't bring gifts.  What a fucking peach.

I glanced through it but wow that's a long post, clearly someone who sees the glass half emply.

melmac86

I'm back! The wind is totally nuts right now and knocked out our power for a few minutes. I can't believe one person can find THAT much to complain about. She found something wrong for every part of her wedding. I couldn't help but wonder if she researched any of her vendors - if they were truly that bad, I'm guessing none of them had great reviews. The more logical explanation is that she just found something that was wrong. She should've done Bridezillas. Her episode would've gone down in their history books.

What's really upsetting about the whole thing is that so many people won't even live to see a wedding day...or some won't have their most loved ones with them, yet she has the audacity to b!tch about all those things. I also couldn't help but think that her poor future children are going to most likely have huge standards to live up to.

Also, she's going into debt to the tune of $15K on top of the $40K they already spent.  That is sickening.  $40K will get you a very nice wedding for 150 people, or even a DW and AHR where you serve more than fruit, veggies, and cheese at the DW.

I would've posted earlier, but I JUST now got done reading that clusterfvck. While I admit that there are several things in there that were legimate for sympathy (albeit small), most of it was just ridiculous.

Though I did like the following:

Wow.  Just, wow.  Don't get me wrong, I didn't read the whole thing, because I'm not insane.  Seriously, that thing was almost 4000 words.  That's longer than some term-papers I've written.  I have news: no one finds you as interesting as you find yourself. --- posted by chrmun

Yeah, I have buyer's remorse over a $50 pair of shoes. Not sure how anyone can live like this.

Yeah, I do agree that there were a couple of scenarios that would've really sucked, like the thing about their flight. Still, from the sounds of the post it seems like there was poor planning, miscommunication, and a whole lot of bratiness on her part. You'd think for someone that lost a family member in a terrible accident, that she'd reconsider just how awful her day was.

Read this response to see the longest run-on sentence you've ever read:


"I read the whole things and i am happpy you told us about it because i know now , not to invite too much people or expect too much and an over elaborate wedding, simple and reasonable is the key and appreciate the occasion for whatever it is not necessairly what I want it to be, cuz i dont know what will come of it." posted by Saffaire


She said what? I don't know her language.

K Everdeen12

I wonder how many people were no shows at the AHR because they found out what was served at the DW.  

Also, I can't figure out how it cost them $55K.  The AHR would have a catering cost of $15K.  Whatever.  It hurts my head to think about her post.  She just sounds ungrateful and like she expects everyone to respond to her every beck and call, and know EXACTLY what she wants without communicating it properly.

Elle1036

Wow...  yeah, you couldn't pay me to read all that.

But if she's been married for just a little over a month and is so upset with everything that she felt the need to write all that...  well...  then, she's just missing the point.

My head is hurting a bit, also. She posted a youtube link to their wedding video highlight on one of the boards. It looked like a gorgeous day in the video, so I don't get it.

Elle - agreed. I'm surprised she could even remember all those things to complain about a month later.

LilTexasGal

I saw that last night when I couldn't sleep. She seriously complained about every little thing, even the good things. I like how she only zeroed in on the one post that was "supporting" her insane behavior...

RWS2011

I can't believe I read that far into the post.  It.Did.Not.End.

Talk about someone who needs to reexamine her perceptions.  I also wonder how one spends over $50,000 and can't host more than appetizers for a DW.  I am shaking my head right now.

Vintagelove4

I glanced at it, scrolled over it, and closed the window. Wow. Did she find anything good about the whole day?! 0-0

niknik15

Haha! I agree, she is such a pain and makes the longest posts ever! Everyone on the June 2012 board makes fun of her. Some of the girls were considering making a shirt and one of the sayings on there is 'You despise anything with the name Jaschelle.'

And Chrmun is the coolest gay guy I know

LilTexasGal

I just watched her highlight video on youtube and I have a few questions... are DWs to Hawaii just extremely expensive, because I couldn't see in the video where all the money went...

Link to her video if you wanted to see it.

What the hell did I just read.

msuprincess04

Haha. I do that too when I'm bored. I'm always amazed at how angry some people are after their wedding for no real reason!

thejucheidea

I feel like that board should be renamed 'First World Problems'.

oceana919

I actually read through the whole thing. That's about 5 minutes of my life I can never get back.

I don't think the problems she described bothered me so much. Yes, some of them (most of them) are incredibly trivial things that can be chalked up to lack of communication and poor planning, but some of them (namely, the cousin) were genuinely shittay situations. So, I can get how it might be overwhelming when every little thing goes "wrong".

However, I think the part that bugged me the most was in this huge, long diatribe, nowhere did she really mention anything GOOD. Sorry, sweets, but sh*t goes wrong on your wedding day. IT IS INEVITABLE. That doesn't mean your wedding day is a complete waste.

We paid for 110 guests - 85 showed up. I had food poisoning the morning of and spent the entire day trying to puke around a dress and veil. I had an aunt more or less threaten to pull her daughters (both bridesmaids) out of our wedding because she doesn't like my mom (seriously...I can't make this sh*t up). My sister's limo never showed up at her wedding, so DH and I shuttled her and her hubs in the back of our SUV. It also rained on all of her photos. I had surgery two weeks before her wedding, so my cousin was in the bathroom literally wrapping my midsection in gauze so you couldn't see the stitches through my bridesmaid dress. I know someone who's husband straight up PASSED OUT during their ceremony. I have a girlfriend who we were literally giving her insulin shots at the entryway to the church because she was about to pull a Steel Magnolia on us. You pick up the pieces and you move on from this stuff, without losing sight of the fact that you are supposedly MARRYING your best friend. That alone should make the shittay stuff pale in comparison.

After this morning's event in Colorado, it just goes to show you how insignificant her "problems" were.

People like that don't see other people's problems because they are so wrapped up in their own insignificant 'problems'.
