This is what makes me a monster - TK edition.

Celles

It irritates me when people post NWR questions that a quick Google search could answer. Things like "Can I use almond milk to make instant pudding?" or "I'm feeling a little queasy today; what are some foods I can eat?" are simple, straightforward questions with objective answers.  They do not inspire conversation.  Just Google it already.

I agree that it's much ado about nothing most of the time.  I technically had a B list - we thought of a few people to invite later on, we had the room in our headcount, so we sent out 'late' invites.  So what.

Nope. I didn't think it was that great. I have more fun with the threads that we turn into ridiculousness like the babies at weddings thread. That one was the best ever.

Also, I want to kick everyone in the cvnt who made me worry that people would think that Ben being in the wedding would be creepy.

[QUOTE]I agree with the BM comment to a point. Yes they should be excited and want to participate in stuff, but I've seen way too many people pissed off because their BM didn't want to fly in from across the country for every single party.
Posted by katiewhompus[/QUOTE]

I completely agree with this.  I used to post a lot on WP, and the people who would come on with guns blazing wanting to kick out a BM because they didn't want to attend 10 meetings on duties, and tie 200 little bows on programs need to be told to calm the f down.  But to the average person who just wants to spend some quality time with her friends and family (and get a little help with WR stuff)?  I think it's totally reasonable to be a little hurt if they're flakey.

I also don't care if people write "adult reception" on their invitations. TBH, I've been to very few weddings where chilren were in attendance, so I don't get the whole "don't put their names on the invitation and the parents will know they're not invited." It never even occurred to me that you PUT kid's names on an invitations in the first place.

I don't give a shitte what you put on an invitation. The less I have to ask you about details the better. Tell me everything I need to know. I hate having to figure out how dressy I should go...

I take that back. I do care about stupid poems asking for money. I give money anyways but poems asking me to irk me. Of course, I have never seen these IRL, just read about them here. Maybe they are a TK urban legend!

People always say that giving children vows is creepy. I should have clarified. Sorry. I wanted him to be more than a ring bearer, so he escorted the grandmas, gave them each a rose and then had some cute little vows. So many people came to me afterwards and told me it was their favorite part of the ceremony.

B-lists don't bother me as long as the couple is either (a) careful enough with sending their invitations that no one realizes they've been B-listed or (b) are honest about it ("We didn't think we'd be able to invite anyone outside of immediate family, but it turns out that we have a little extra room after all and would love to send you an invitation!").

You forgot to mention his awesome dance move during the pictures. I loved that sig pic.

I don't think it's creepy that he was more involved in the ceremony. I mean he is going to be a big part in your lives why not give him a more involved role in the wedding.

katiewhompus

I like it when people include kids in the ceremony. Yes the wedding is joining the two adults legally, but I think it really says a lot about how they view their family when they include kids in the ceremony. It's not like the wedding won't affect the kids at all, and I think it probably makes them feel better about having a new mom/dad when they can be included in the ceremony.

number55

I feel the same way when people say not to involve friends in certain aspects of the wedding. We asked three of our friends (one of whom was in the WP) to perform all the music during the ceremony (we had musicians there for before, the processional and recessional)...they did three songs...all three of them are worship performer's from our church. It meant a lot to have them be a part of our ceremony, as much as our friends/family who were readers. We asked obviously, didn't dictate, and we gave them a gift but we loved it and our friends who know them from church loved it too.

Celles

Also (can you tell I don't want to work anymore today? ) I think declaring someone you really like on TK a "sisterwife" is creepy.

As long as nobody is dressed up at a mini-bride I am all for kids in weddings.

Exactly.  As long as they are comfortable with whatever is planned, and have some input on it (no forced vows or forced unity ceremonies), include them.

I have said this before but if you feel the need to DD your post or pictures because you are afraid of someone seeing it that you would prefer not, why are posting it at all?

I see nothing wrong with garter and bouquet tosses.  I don't think the majority of the people doing them do it with the intent of implying the single ladies should want to catch the bouquet to make sure they don't end up a spinster.  No need to take it that seriously.

I judge a lot of the things you all have said you dont judge.

I look at it this way.  I work weekends, and Fri/Sat nights are big money nights for me.  Taking that pay cut for the week to show up at a wedding where I have to spend money on a gift, then buy my own drinks, have bad food, etc is not my idea of a good time.  I also realize that I dont HAVE to go to the wedding and all that, but whatever, I judge.

I feel like a lot of the things I consider to be "bad etiquette" could be avoided if brides would just budget correctly from the beginning.  When they dont, it just makes them look selfish to me in a way.  Meaning, if they splurged on things for themselves (dress, flowers, etc) instead of things for their guests, I will judge that.   But if corners were cut all around, I probably will look at it differently.
