flameable confessions?

[Deleted User]

I paid for my MOH's dress, but she was the only one. If I had BMs I wouldn't have because dresses are freaking expensive. But, she picked out her dress and I know she's worn it since so at least she could use it again.

I didn't give a crap what shoes she wore. The only reason I remember them is because I was with her when she bought them.

Would I WANT to? No. But if my friend was getting married and wanted us to buy them, I would.

Yeah, if someone told me I needed to spray tan, I'd tell them to kiss my non-oompa loompa ass.

I'm in a wedding coming up and although spray tans are not required, the rest is. The bride went out of her way to make sure everyone was comfortable with the shoe height she had picked, bu the shoes are NOT cute and I will never wear them again. So then after purchasing them, she sent an email that said, I decided your shoes are your gift! Aww, shucks, you shouldn't have. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

However I love her to pieces and I like my hair and nails done anyways so it's a-ok with me.

Brandi, I like them other than the bow so if I was in a wedding and that's what the bride wanted, I'd buy them (and hope I could lose the bow later).  

 

LesPaul

I think those shoes are cute.  No idea where I'd wear then other than as a BM, though.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Those shoes are on sale for 40 bucks, I don't think that's bad.  Plus I think they're super cute.  Of the BM shoes I've been required to buy I've never worn them since the weddings, lol.  I could probably wear those things again.

Posted by brandichamberlain[/QUOTE]

Honestly? No. 

I don't even mind the style, but I'm picky about shoes.  I wouldn't want to buy those at all, and if I was required to wear them I'd rather not spend my $$ on them, since I'd be buying/bringing something else to wear after the ceremony.

gurrlballa10

I bought all my BP shoes, but that's because I'm a shoe whore and cared about them matching.  The actual dress, I didn't give a shiiit about and they all picked whatever one they wanted. 

Would it be nice if the bride paid?  Heck yes, but if someone wanted me to buy a specific pair of shoes, I would (within reason) of course.

[QUOTE]Brandi, I like the look of the shoe but I'm pretty set on what brands of shoes that fit me well and are comfortable.  I would do it if I were asked but I'd be grumpy about it.

This is basically what I was trying to say.

brandichamberlain

The bow is removeable, and won't be used in the wedding.  So just the peep toe.  They were 50 when we bought them.

Starmusica

UGH this is not a flameable confession- just a friggin flame.

Just saw on FB that my uncle bought his 16 year old daughter a brand new BMW as her first car. SERIOUSLY?

peekaboo2011

I've not been a BM, but I wouldn't flinch about dress.  Shoes are kind of whatever for me.  And I hope that my girls would want to at least get their nails done, and maybe their makeup, but I'd never require it.

Starmusica

wait- its used. still not sure that makes it better.

VeggieLove1022

Brandi- I think they're super cute, but honestly I can't wear a heel to save my life. I'd have to wear flats. The last time I wore heels was at my e-pics and of course I twisted my ankle while falling into a waterfall.

I know this is flamable confessions, so I'm going to go ahead and assume you know that's flamable.  But my genuine question is why?

Hey- random threadjack.  I should have checked with you, but have you moved since STD's went out?  That is the address I mailed your invitation too. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-frown.gif" border="0" alt="Frown" title="Frown" />

Me too. I hate hate hate it. But that is probably because everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.

cheeseandrice

I think it's stupid to care what shoes someone is wearing. I know there's a lot of competing for 'most laid-back bride' like DJ said. But that really was me. I just didn't care, at all.  I made the three girls pick out their own dresses. They all picked the same one and wanted to match, so they did. But I honestly did not care. And the idea of requiring someone to get their nails or hair done? WTF? I didn't even paint my own nails, and I guarantee NO one noticed.

My confession- I'm not really excited about the baby yet. I think it's just because we're so distracted with all the other stuff going on. But I haven't bought any clothes yet (and don't really want to) or anything like that. I think I'm still more terrified than excited.

Star- keep with your plan. I have a feeling I'd be a lot less terrified if money was less of a concern.

Okay Star now I might have to come back under a new nik but special just for you:

Big sister to little sister: "You know you can conceive by a-al, right?"

Little sister: No you can't!

Big sister: Yes, you can. Where do you think lawyers come from?

Gross and lots of people have heard it before I am sure but I still thought it was funny.

Not necessarily for the wedding.  But as a group thing.  It wouldn't be required, but the girls that I hope will still be around whenever I do get engaged and I have always enjoyed getting our nails done together.  I'd hope that they would want to go and make a day of it.

Don't say that.

Brandi & Dot - I got to that point too.  When the venue asked how I wanted the napkins folded I nearly snapped.   Hang in there - in the end it's such a blast and you'll be glad you've done it. 

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I think if I came across people I knew IRL on these boards I would quietly GBCK, lol.  Obviously knotties I have met IRL AFTER having met them here are NBD.  But yeah if I saw someone I actually knew on these boards I would probably quit.
