    Nice post! I've been a MAJOR lurker over the last week or 2. My issue: My sister AKA Maid of Honor I completely understand that my sister hasn't been working consistently and that $$ is tight these days, but it's not like I haven't been planning this wedding for the last year. I bought her dress and my neices dress (she's a jr bridemaid). FI paid for my nephews tux. All she has to do is to get their shoes which need to be dyed to match the dress. Has she done this yet...... NOPE. I try not to harrass her about it but when I mentioned it, all she said was that things are real tight... Not to mention that I asked my other bridesmaid to take over the planning of any bridal shower or bachelorette party functions because she wasn't doing anything with that either. Now I hear from the grapevine that when the other BM's reach out to her, she doesn't even bother calling anyone back. Am I wrong to feel some type of way about this?? I'm thinking I'm going to cave and get them the shoes because I want them to participate but they need to look right.Sorry so long....

    GET YA R.S.V.P. IN!!Ok!! We sent u an invite, whether I wanted to or not, provided a stamped self addressed envelope AND intend to pay for your meal!! So WTF is so hard about saying yay or nay especially when I've been harrassed to give you one??!! You've known for months.  So please save yourself the embarrassment of me goin BRIDEZILLA (WIFEZILLA) on that a$$ when you try to show up and steal a seat!! Let them be warned cause I'm putting it out there.  REAL TALK.  And don't say u coming only to NOT show up, other people have been turned down for ur slackness and would've loved to have that seat...ok vent ova.  Thanks Ladysun.. WOOO I feel better.

    With 11 days to go one of my bridesmaid from Atlanta (I'm in Cali) calls to tell me even though she has her dress she doesn't have her plane ticket yet and doesn't know if she can bring her kids (who are all in the wedding) WTF. I've been planning this for a year and a half.  She goes on to say that money is super tight and they don't have groceries and the lights might get turned off and blah blah blah so I told her not to come just worry about feeding her 3 babies and her light bill & what not and she had the nerve to accuse me of not wanting her to be there in tears and all. OMG. Enough with the guilt trip already. Ok that felt good.

    OK excuse me for thinking you are a friend. Excuse me for thinking I could share some things about the wedding with you. I didn't think it was such an imposition that I shared with you that I was freaking out about the wedding. My mistake. Thanks for pretending to listen and care and thanks for pointing out later what a good friend you were for doing so. Yeah you're great! I'm sorry I didn't realize my wedding was outside the area of our friendship and that you could care less about it. Well scr*w you that's why I have theknot and my mom. I don't need to share with you! Don't worry I'll still pay for your ever expanding butt to stuff your face at my wedding. WOW that did feel good! I may have to do another one :)

    Yeah I have another one who needs a cutting My FI's sister his ONLY other sibling just informed us she may not be able to make it to the wedding? WTF??!! Now I know she's coming from Switzerland and flights can be pricey but she havs known about this for awhile. I can see her husband not being able to get time off since he's a university proff but she's a stay at home mom! And I can understand not wanting to pay that much for the kids, who happen to be in the wedding, but how can she say SHE might not be able to come. My poor little bunny was crestfallen! I almost slapped that skinny silly little piece swiss cheese. If she doesn't come she's banned from our home. She better not try me she doesn't know black people hold a grudge (and sometimes a razor when necessary).

    oh Julinejb.. I actually did the same thing before.. I sent a RSVP back without my return address..lol.. but when i realized that I didnt (2days later) I called my friend and was like the one yall get in the mail with the 3 but no return address.. That's Me!

    LMAO @ slapping the little piece of swiss cheese. Off that was hilarious!!! Shayla, I said the same thing... You usually realize it like a few hours later or maybe even a day or so later... We got it last week. Lucky for them I planned to have an extra table for the "unplanned" guests, cause I already know how my family get's down!

    We need regional slap lists and need to form slap teams. Obviously there are quite a few people out there that need a good ol fashioned pimp slap. Why people think your wedding is an occassion for them to go crazy, I don't know. But people seem to be loosing their grasp on reality. I say we slap some reality back into them. Think of it as community service.

    Ahh where to begin... 1. No FI-we can't ADD ANYMORE GUESTS! I understand that it's a buffet but I told the caterer 150 and she's making enough food for 150. Yes, some people might not show up on the day of, but I'm sure there will be OTHER people who AREN'T invited to show up as well. IT'S SIMPLE MATH!!! 160 people + 150 seats/final number to caterer= CHAOS!! 2. FI's family: No, you cannot bring other people who were not invited. I don't care if it's your great grand uncle-FI doesn't know them and neither do I. WTF? 3. Fedex: Leave the d#mn package at the f#$&in door!!! I need my tablecloths and I have no time to pick them up from your facility. I give you permission to leave them-dear God, please let them leave them at the door or I will go BSC!!!

    Ok here goes....I'm telling yall right now excuse me if there are some typos...cause I'm pissed!!! My homie/ Matron of honor...this heffa had the nerve to corner my little cousin a BM at work, telling her how I have this really nasty attitude since I've started planning my wedding.And she's not planning to spend her money giving me any showers or parties. And how she hates it when I call her to talk about the wedding because I'm trying to out do her wedding.UGH!!! This pisses me the F*&% off! Not trying to toot my own horn but no matter what I do I'm going to always do it better because I have class! Duh! Excuse me for not wanting to get married in my moms back yard and have aunt June and dem...lol  cook the food for my reception! Why should I settle for less!Not to mention when this heffa got married I gave her the bomb bridal shower and bachelorette party.And this is how she behaves! I'm about to just give her $SS the business and be done!

    Check with me tomorrow, I may want to blast further.  But right now I would like to put the stupid girl from the dress shop on blast who told me to come in a try a size 12 dress, knowing good and well my size 16 butt will not be able to fit in it.  I am still going to the fitting because Mom and I discussed possibly getting a dress made to look like it and want to get a close up view at some details.  But still just because this biznitch can probably fit every sample size in the place, doesn't mean everybody can and she needs to think about being more considerate in the future, rather than just thinking about making a sale!!!! Thanks for ruining my first dress search experience! Okay, I have returned to my normal state of calm.  Thank you for allowing me to vent a bit.

    Right now I'm putting that stupid a$$ consultant at David's Bridal (WV) on blast.  How is it that I'm telling you I need a size 14 regular and you keep bringing me freaking 12s and trying to use clothes pins to clothes the back   so I can get a feel for the dress.  The only thing I was feeling is those damn pins sticking me in my back.  Then you want to say that a 12 is too small (Duuuuh) so we should try a plus size/womens.  There is nothing plus about me I told you what size i needed and you didn't listen so you got your feeling shurt whem MOH told you to just walk away. How about you learn to listen and learn just because a woman has curves doesn't mean she needs a plus size.Woooo...I feel better too...Thanks lady!!
