Bride Wars

Remember that movie Bride Wars? I used to be good friends with this girl. Wayyyyy before we got engaged, we talked about having our wedding at Botanical Garn dens. She got engaged in DEC 2009. She was having a financial hardship and could not afford the gardens but had it on the beach instead. Mind you stopped calling me and felt she was to good to talk to me. Fast forward July 2010, I get engaged and told her. She did a dry "congratulations". Months later she texted me and asked me where I was having my wedding. I said, "Botanical Gardens". She was calling my phone and leaving me messages trying to talk me out of doing it. She was saying, "it is to expensive, you have to do this and do that". I seem to think she is mad because I got something I wanted versus settled for.

    Quite possibly, there are plenty of people out there that have certain "regrets" and this might be one of them. I say if you ever chat with this girl and she brings it up use the Bean Dip route to avoid the issue.

    I asked her for her address to send a invite and she said she was "moving". WOW

    Sounds like she's being petty and doesn't want to come. Sorry that she's being such a tool about it.

    She doesn't sound worth having as a friend if she's going to get all bent out of shape over your venue. True she wanted it, but she already had her day and married (what is supposed to be) the man of her dreams.

    I wouldn't care if I got married in a cardboard box and my friend was getting married at the Ritz even if I used to want to get married at the Ritz. All that matters is that we both got married and are happy.

    Actually I would find that pretty awesome because I would get to enjoy a party at the Ritz (certainly don't get invited to many of those) without having to worry about paying for it:)

    ...that all sounds legit to me.  Maybe she really didn't find the prices to be reasonable and thinks she's doing you a favour by warning you.  I certainly can see why she wouldn't give you her address if she was moving - that's the response most people will give you.

    Hey y'all...over on my usual board, we're pretty sure joiner is a troll, AE, or other aberration. Great answers, though.

    You are probably right about why she is mad.  Like pp said - it's too bad she's being a tool.  GL!

    Sad. Some people can't just be happy for others. Just chalk it up to the green eyed monster.

    It is a pretty fantastic story - still entertaining even if it is fiction though!

    Well, as someone who lives in NOVA, I can tell you that the concerns your friend has about Botanical Gardens are probably accurate. There's a whole post on the DC board on it. I know it's l8k just to rent the building. (FI and I looked into having our wedding there, it IS beautiful) That literally doesn't include anything else. But hey, if ya got it, do it! She is still being nasty. It's one thing to come across concerned for you, another to sound jealous about it.

    joiner has to be a troll.  she has wayyyyy too many lame and incendiary posts to be anything but.
    "Trix, it's what they/our parents wanted. Why so judgemental? And why is your wedding date over a year and a half ago? And why do you not have a groom's name? And why have you posted over 12,000 posts? And why do you always say mean things to brides?" palegirl146
  • edited December 2011
    it looks like someone does not have a job or life to posts 12,000 posts. You are probably a fat lazy slob that does nothing but pick her nose. are you one of those brides that says she is engaged, but is not. keep pretending!
