Annoying Facebook Brides

futuremrscoachj

VENT
Does anyone get annoyed with those brides who post every other hour about their wedding countdown or something of the sort?
I have one FB friend who has counted down since day 10... but instead of putting the number, she puts something like
3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!3!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in freaking paragraph form DAILY. I plan on defriending her after her wedding, I just am curious about how tacky this day is going to be so I want to see pics (she posted a pic of her wedding nails and they were multi-glitter french tips with white paisley print airbrush- so wedding can only be just as WONDERFUL)

Any other annoying ones out there?

I like to post things about my wedding on FB, but that is ridiculously annoying.

futuremrscoachj

Oh I definitely occasionally like to talk about the planning process, but I try to do so without taking up 6ft of my friends' newsfeeds!

aegrish

uh my same friend that DEMANDED i pay her the $125 CASH for the ugly BM dress 2 weeks before my wedding (hers i 3 months away) is SO annoying on FB.  She has made me REALLY curb any posting about my wedding for fear that I will appear even slightly as annoying as her.  She posted a photo last night of the BOX her unity candles came in.  Yes a postal service box. WHO THE HECK CARES?!

I deleted facebook because of really dumb annoying people. I think sometimes it's people's diary and that drives me crazy. It's okay to be excited but really - If your wedding was 4 days ago yesterday - NO SH*T its only 3 today.
 
I get your point. I am a small minority that prolly all around hates FB.

I get annoyed by people who post that much about anything, not just wedding stuff.  However, wedding stuff is the most annoying because I highly doubt anyone is inviting every single one of their facebook friends, so it's actually kind of rude to rub every little detail into people's faces who won't be invited.  Maybe you should comment on her saying how wonderful it is that she's able to invite all of her FB friends to her wedding because you all really enjoy hearing the details of the event you'll all get to attend together....

There's a girl I went to school with who is getting married in June. Every time she does something for the wedding she posts it. EVERY TIME.

I'll join you in that minority. 

People don't realize that things are sometimes left better to the element of surprise.  I mean really, a picture of a BOX?  You've got to be kidding.  One of my FB friends used to be annoying, all her status updates went like this:  Bride-to-be in NYC!, Bride-to-be is out with friends, Bride-to-be blablablabla.  She eventually stopped thank go. 

I'm not even listed as in a relationship on FB and I'm only keeping that account open because I get invited to certain events that people won't post any other way.

To be quite honest though, people with constant kid updates annoy me more.  I don't want to know at what time your kid pooped their pants, learned how to potty train, vomited, smiled, ate sand and I most definitely don't want to see your pregnancy test picture.  I can smell the urine from here.  This one chick I have one there posted her 3D ultrasound pics of her baby girl, with an arrow pointing to the vagina and saying:  It's a girl!  Are you serious?  I'm sorry I think those are the kinds of things you show to people you are close to, not the entire world of FB.

Oh I can top the Sonogram photo, my friend had that for MONTHS as her profile pic. IT was absolutely gross. I am sorry but  IMO that is a PERSONAL photo to be kept PERSONAL not shared with the whole world, only close friends and family.  And I'm sorry it does not look like you yet.  It does not have your nose.

I kid you not, she posted a photo of a BOX.  Yes, A box.  I try to hide all my weding details from her now because I'm so annoyed and want to keep things private.

I honestly don't even think I'll share many photos of my wedding with FB people.  I feel like they're too special to post 150 of them for everyone to see.  I want our close friends and family (who will appreciate them) to have exclusive access  to them.  Is anyone feeling me  lol?

One of my guy friends has been posting a countdown, almost daily, since day 50. He skips a couple days now and then. I hate to think that I'm sexist; but if he was a chick I'd probably start finding it annoying and be like, "ok we get it", but since he's a guy I think it's kind of cute. Oh well. Double-standards away!

Of course, if he was posting in paragraph form like OP's friend i'd probably mock him relentlessly.

EmilyW416

This one girl posted everything about her wedding. what her shoes looked like, what shoes her girls would wear. Ect Ect.

Now shes preggers and theres a weekly photo of 12 weeks, 13weeks, ect. Its really freaking annoying

I never post about my wedding on FB! I am too scared people will start saying "AM I INVITED?!?!"

nrawlings26

none of my friends on facebook are getting married but i do have this person who every day says she loves her bf and he is the greatest person in the world. i keep telling her WE GET IT

Edit: i haven't even said anything about getting married on FB yet

Arayx2

After reading some of these about the kids, Lol I think I am guilty of that on here!! (and being preggers) (I just did a post showing my 31 week belly - sorry ladies) - I never put pictures of my child up on Facebook though because of all the "Chesters" and weirdos out there.

I agree with everything else that Cynthia Said - Who cares if your child Pooped in the potty for the first time. And the peeing on the pregnancy test - that cracked me up big time. My sister did that and I made her take it down!!

One occasional post every few months is fine.

Daily or weekly posts is a bannable offense in my book

Are you referring to me?

Savanna111911

I mean, I guess I post occasionally, but its more just like big things. The only time I can think of is when i bought my dress and when i picked out my bridesmaid dress.  But yea. It doesn't really bother me that much, but I am in the minority.

Hays2be

I've only put up big things--the dress, the license--and once, how long.  That was at the two month mark.    Monday, I'll probably say something about the one-month mark.  I also made comments about surfing for a caribbean cruise when it was snowing out. 

I think I've done a pretty good job of not over posting.

No.

I was referring to deleting my friends who post too much. Posting daily or weekly about your wedding or kid is beyond annoying. No one cares. Most people block the posts or delete people who post that much about their wedding or kid.

Im the only one of my friends getting married and i really dont post anything on facebook. My cousin posts an update every 3hours. and its about the silliest things. so i totally agree.

mrscarey403

ohhh...I second the kid thing.  I love kids.  I work with kids.  Kids are awesome.  But we all go potty.  My  cousin posted things like "Wow - 2 cm dilated - she's almost here!" and "10 cm!  Ready to push!!!"  

If it wasn't for the whole blood relative, lives up the street thing....She'd be unfriended.  

mrshellem2012

Sounds like some of you should just delete some people! or you facebook account if it is so bothersome. I only friend people that are in my everday life, not people i traded pudding snacks with in third grade lol

LOL I had a friend who did this recently! She actually was about to start pushing, grabbed her phone, and posted "Getting ready to push now, see you on the other side!" I'm like OMFG, go give birth to your freakin' kid and spare us the graphic details! lol! I post a little bit here and there about the wedding but it's not all I ever post about. And I usually will post about big milestones, like when we hit the 6 month mark, or the 100 day mark. I haven't been doing that lately though, not since 100. Some of my other friends though, will end almost every poset with "OMG I can't wait to be Mrs. Hislastname!" or "89 more days until i'm Mrs. Hislastname!" "I can't wait to marry you Bob Hislastname!" OMG we get it, thank you! lol

ShakeUpTampa

I gotta agree with a PP..I only have people I talk to regularly and give a crap about..I got worried about an ex employee of mine when I had not seen a post in a few days (she is preggers) and realized her crazy sister was stalking her via her moms page so she put  her wall on lock, I emailed her to check on her and she fixed it. 1/6 of my FB is my Swedish family and because I was supposed to spend a month there and now I am not going and probably none can make it for the wedding they are all excited  to see some things so I posted about 40ish of the 200 engagement photos, a few random photos of the shells we have picked and washed together, and the photo strip we got from the photobooth service we won for our reception...my closest cousin emailed just this week saying she loves that even though she can't be here she likes being able to be a part of the journey to the wedding (which is the album title for those things)

I have a few people I blocked their status updates because they were mostly gamers but I am still close with them. If something important is going on they will tell me on my wall, call, or email haha

niecie_jeff

I have posted a few things on my FB page about the wedding (well, mostly about getting engaged and then a few wedding type things) but no where near over the top. I have a guy who my sister dated in High school who is always asking me if he is invited and even put in his status "Cant wait for B&J's wedding next year..." I deleted him right after that. Those who post everything little thing about everything, those are the ones that drive me up the wall!
