And to add insult to injury, check out some of the responses she got.  Must be some of those chicks from the eboard.  smh

    Who even KNOWS 500 people?  lollllll


    What got me was how she started out complaining that her family and desired WP couldn't come because of financial reasons and because she had moved from NY to TX, only to find out later in the post that the wedding was in HAWAII!  Ummm, I don't like to count other people's pockets but that's no cheap trip, sister girl.  No wonder they couldn't make it.  smh

    <div>Yea the Hawaii thing was another shocker to me. And then at the end where she says she has to spend the next 15 months paying off everything...REALLY? madness...</div><div>
    </div><div>I didn't read the whole thing just sort of skimmed through it...but at some point during her planning, it might have been good to take a step back look at the lack of support and say, BABE, let's just elope....</div>

    I dont mean to be a super b!itch...but, this sounds like one of the bad reviews on trip advisor. you know the kind....the person who gives the WORST review of a place that has 6000 excellent reviews.

    Stop taking everything so personal girl...damn. and stop inviting the entire town to events. and get better friends, perferably the kind that donthave secret crushes on you.

    Im mean...sorry.

    lol @ T! girl I'm flattered but some of the shyt floating on the top of this pond pretty much writes itself.

    a.  thafuck??  I thought me and you were here <<<< /> />>.   *facepalm* that was 90-48 paragraphs of sheer unmitigated madness ....IN. IAMBIC. PENTAMETER! 

    b.  TK needs to be more like twitter 140 characters and you're out!

    c.  um, she know a lot hot-asses.   *cough* olderbridesmaids.com

    d.  already said what I think about these chicks and their fakeass arguments.  please see Angel's (msbdumas) "I want to" thread

    e.  Fifty...Five....Thousand.... American dollars? In2012theyearofourLord?  if the next thing out her mouth is they're trying to buy a house, it's official, Case need to go over there and beat her in the ankles, period.

    I feel genuinely bad for this young lady but she's in the wrong spot for emotional/verbal support.  She got a lot of okay your day sucked but move on and get over it.  No need to agree with someone if you don't but making a girl who clearly already feels bad feel worse makes you an asshole, congratulations. 

    gotta go get a polish change, Case guess what color?  LMAO!!

  • She got her freshly made coconut cake and enjoyed seeing her DH's face walking down the aisle.   What else does she want?  Sheesh. LOL!

    Look the girl said she needed to get it all out and that she did.  She nearly blinded me in the process.  

    All I can say is at the end of the day the girl got married.  She's going to have to let that "move script" she wrote go.  Everyone wants as close to perfection for their day but reality is something will go wrong. 

    What the girl needs to do is to go celebrate her husband, laugh at the hot mess, and thank God that she made it to the other side.   Many women are still waiting (no, praying) to get there.  It's will be ok. 



    Love is the ultimate superpower.   
    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.  



  • Well *ROUND OF APPLAUSE* I managed to read that whole book (hours later)....and i feel bad for her it seems like no one was in her corner and all she wanted was to have her special day getting married...everyone including family was cancelling out on her or just didnt give a damn...she had some bad voodoo or roots or something on that marriage cuz it seems like all hell broke loose for her not to mention she has a allergic reation to the sun and she got stung by a bee and all other kind of foolishness and fuckery happened to the poor girl....SMH i pray she looks back in 5 years and say WE STILL TOGETHER dispite the universe throwing everything at us....

  • no T, round of applause for REAL if you got all the way to bee sting.    superstitious as I am I wouldve been too scared to marry his ass.  Everything in the universe saying quit  now.   The forest is over.

  • Girl i swear it wasnt not one day that she had in that entire book that said i loved every minute of getting married....hell she had her period in Hawaii for the wedding and they came home to have a reception and she got her period again...The universe was screaming NOOOOOOO DONT DO IT.....and not to mention while they were standing on the rocks in Hawaii taking pics ppl (strangers) were yelling jump jump jump lol lol lol lol.....POOR LIL TINK TINK!!

  • I read the whole thing and I genuinely felt for the girl. I mean WP sucked, cousin died week before her nuptuals so the one family member who was gonna take the trip was no longer able to attend, she paid for a flight that never existed, she was scammed by a wedding planner, the no show bachelorette and bridal party, bee sting, and the list goes on. It was just too much. I was really, really feeling bad, but then she said 50k on a wedding and I changed my tune a little. She should have known she was doing too much trying spend that much. Um, um, um poor girl. And to top it off the ignorant dummies had add insult to injury by getting on her as if she doesn't feel bad enough.

  • WOW! I can't believe I actually read that whole thing (had to copy & paste it to a document cuz TK screwed up the format). FI even got in on it. He couldn't help but suspect that this was a hoax post or sumthin. He was like this lady got a hex, voodoo, or sumthin put on her (probably by that jealous bridesmaid who didn't want to share her lol). All the issues that this bride went through, I can't see how she aint went on a crazy bridezilla rampage (I'm a nice girl too but I wouldn't dare let ppl get off wit scamming or takin advantage of me like that smh). I pray her marriage is more successful than her wedding experience. FI still can't believe she shelled out that much money for a wedding, he thinks she was doing too much. I just think she needs to be grateful that she's alive, she got married, & work on the actual marriage and stop dwelling on the wedding (it's not the purpose or the important part of being a bride---uniting eternly with your soul mate is). Wish her all the best (hoping none of her bad vibes rubbed off me from reading her extremely long & erratic vent session).

  • I just lost 15 mins of my life that I will never get back. Lol This doesn't even sound real, but if it was I'm sorry that she had to go through that. Hopefully they will see the positive in it that the fact they got married after every obstacle that got in their way.

    Ok, I read it all... shockingly. All I can say is WOW! Honey, if I paid for a $55k wedding, here in Houston, all that tomfoolery wouldn't have taken place! She could have used half {if not less} of that money and had a grand wedding in Dallas. AND how do you invite 500+ ppl to your bridal shower and not that many to the wedding? Because clearly, she would have had more than 160 ppl to RSVP yes... to have 90 ppl show up. I don't get it. 
  • Ok she sounds like a spoiled brat! How do you jump from letters to numbers and skip some in between. SMH.

    Y'all are funny...

    How you gonna spend $40k cash and STILL have $15k left to pay off. $40k is far more than ENOUGH to have a GRAND wedding in an expensive location like -- um LOS ANGELES -- and live it up.  And how do you have a wedding budget of that magnitude without having a wedding planner to oversee the whole thing and make sure that it comes together.. 

    Yeah, this ish don't even sound real. Wastin' my damn time and I have too much to do in this last two weeks!
