I did not believe it until I saw it for myself...

Chick&Guy

I have been hearing lately how weddingbee has such a different vibe than TK, so during my lunch breaks to pass the time I have been lurking over there. 

There is a board called 'Emotional' that is particularly interesting (if anyone else likes to lurk like myself).  Some of the responses seriously blow me away!

In one thread was the classic "I was engaged first and now she is having her wedding before mine", all the posters were outraged! They were telling her to contact the other bride and ask her to move her date, and they were all "Make sure you send your STDs and Invites out first!"

Just wanted to share my entertainment at reading some of the responses over there, and say thanks to everyone over here who has given me good advice!

Wow, I have never used Wedding bee much, mainly just looked at decoration ideas.  They sound very winey.

Chick&Guy

Yea! I am not a member there so I haven't used it at all but I was curious just based on something I have heard people say over here.  It is like every etiquette situation that people hate over here is encouraged over there!

I mean there is some good advice but there is bad too!

wow that is crazy talk!!! One of our friends got engaged a couple weeks before us and we are having our wedding 3 months before theres. I cant imagine her calling me and saying to move my date. Wow! If I was the other bride Id tell her right where to go!

There are some interesting ones on there!
Seems to be a lot of sunshine and roses...

They never say anything is a bad idea.  If you told them you were making you guest pay for their own meals they'd tell you it's a great way to save money.  I have an account on there but I just stick to reading the threads. The one time I did post I was told I should be ashamed of myself because I wanted a real diamond ring not an moissy or other stone,

Omg this is hilarious. They post along the lines of... "You should probably just ask your friend, in a nice way, to cancel her wedidng because you planned yours first. Fair is fair."

I occasionally venture over to WeddingBee if I'm in need of some chuckles. There is some pretty crazy stuff on there. They also constantly whine about how mean we are over here.

Wtf? Who cares when people have their weddings in comparison to when they got engaged? The only thing I can see being upset over is if you already told them the date and they chose it too. If she's so concerned about getting married first, pull a wedding together in a few months to make sure you do. What a weird person.

You see, you're a rational human being; the ladies on WeddingBee, not so much.

Oh and the icing on the cake is that this particular person hadn't told everyone their date yet because she wasn't actually engaged yet!

"Oh you need an entire month reserved for you in case your bf pops the question?? Sure let me just revolve my life around you too!"

I now feel the need to repeat myself:

WTF!!! I mean I had an idea of when I wanted to have my wedding but then I changed my mind. I never "claimed" a date before I was engaged though.. crazy crazy people!

Agreed that Weddingbee boards are good for a laugh.  And decor inspiration pics.  I was trying to find some hair inspiration pics, but the only thing I can find other than decor porn is the "what do you think about this possible dress" pics.

WTH? Oh, my goodness! You *should* be ashamed of yourself! JK! <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" title="Smile" />  Although, I do have a 1.05ct Blue Topaz- it's my birth stone, and was special ordered just for me!

I had a registry question and I searched the same question on WeddingBee and TK and found completely opposing answers. So you're right, there's a totally different vibe there and it's definitely not just this one example.

Chick&Guy

Wow it just keeps getting better....

There is a thread a woman writes about how she broke up with her FI after 7 years because he molested a child when he was a teen.  The whole thread was basically about 'How could he do this to her and ruin her happy picture of a future'. At the end she goes to tell how she is now with her true love.  She has been with the new guy for 5months and left her ex FI almost 6 months ago..wow speechless.

Of course the posters who replied were like *hugs* wow I'm so sorry for you, oh that is horrible, what a terrible thing you have gone through, etc.  Ummmm HELLO? she is NOT the victim here!

I was reading this and I can't help but laugh! LOL!! Those women belong on a soap opera! Thank you ladies for giving me a chuckle!

I'm a huge fan of the original post in this thread.  My jaw was almost on the floor.

Chick&Guy, THANK YOU for introducing me to this weddingbee wonder! Over here, I'll lurk sometimes for entertainment, but mostly to learn things about weddings and stuff that's NWR... It's more informative than anything. And I pretty much post on NEY and Honeymoons (because I'm obsessed with traveling and like to give advice to people if I've been somewhere they are interested in). So I am delighted to have a new place to lurk and cackle! So exciting!
