Kiss 108 - Did you think this was weird?

jilliannoel88

Did anyone hear Kiss 108 this morning where they gave away the wedding reception?  I am sure the girl was in shock - but didn't it seem like she didn't even know her information was submitted for the contest?  It was early in the morning so maybe she was tired, but I was sort of uncomfortable listening to it because the girl didn't seem that excited about it or even really know what was going on.  Just thought it was kind of awkward...

Yeah, i heard that this morning.  She did sound a bit confused, or maybe she thought it was a joke or something??? It definitely is a really nice thing for them to do for her though!

Was her name Shawna?!

I agree the girl sounded strange-- probably shock. Although if someone offerend to pay for my wedding I would probably kiss them!!

sunshine1084

Her name was Tracy and yeah...she sounded pretty "blah" about the whole thing...Also, for getting married on the 11th, she said her fiance had no idea what was going on. That seemed more strange to me...

She sounded like she was in shock and really confused.  I'm pretty sure this is someone who posts on boston.com and I think she had already rescheduled her wedding.

Wish I had heard it.

It is such an amazing prize, but she was probably in shock and thinking about how she had already found a new venue on a different day, possibily signed new contracts and let her guests know about the change of venue and now has to do it all again with even less time until the wedding.

sunshine1084

Yeah - she probably had everything re-scheduled because when Matty said "You're getting married on the 10th, right?" she said something like "No, the 11th" or something along those lines

Lanie & Sunshine, I think that's the problem.  She already switched her date, informed her guests, started working things out with her vendors, etc.  While still totally awesome, it's still more work for her.  I wish they could have helped a bride getting married this weekend.  They need it more. 

sunshine1084

Yeah, the way it was presented was that they just had the information of the girls who had weddings scheduled at GCC who had called in after the closing, but didn't tell them that they would be entered in some sort of prize winning. I hope the girl gives it to someone else if she already has new plans.

As a friend of Tracy and Corey, I feel bad that her behavior is being nitpicked on here.  Isn't this a board that is supposed to support each other?  At least it was when I was on here.  I want you guys to try to imagine what she went through.  20 days until her wedding.  Invitations had been mailed out.  Final dress fitting days away.  Then you get a phone call from your FLORIST to tell you that the venue that was going to hold your dream wedding has closed it's doors.  Even worse, you've lost your 10k deposit.  Imagine feeling helpless - not knowing if you will be getting married in 2 months let alone the 2 weeks you had planned.  You scramble and three days later you are able to find a place, and have to not only change your date, but pray your vendors can switch as well.  Imagine the stress involved.  Then you wake up twenty four hours after booking a new date and venue to find  that you have won a wedding - a free wedding - an answer to all your prayers.  You are thrilled but shocked-  a week ago your plans were set - now you have gone from no venue to a venue you lucked out in securing to a free wedding.  You would be speechless too.  I don't mean to sound like a *itch - but I hope and pray that you are never in that position.  Poor Tracy has had a horrible week that I would never wish on anyone.  I can't even imagine what some of the other brides who had weddings this weekend are going to do.  And yes, she had no idea that they were being entered to win a wedding, so she was in complete shock.

I think it's awesome that they did this, and I missed it this morning (I usually listen every morning!) but I did listen yesterday, and they asked the brides to call in to enter (and said they would verify all info before they picked the winner). Either way, I'm sure she was shocked she won, even if it was a 1 in 10 chance of winning! Congrats to her and her fiance!

I didn't read the posts as people giving her crap. yeah, it is stressful and we all can relate to that....now if someone posted "how ungrateful" that is another story.

Stayseeleigh

My fiancee entered us in but we didnt win But I am so happy for her!!!! She prob was in shock I know I would be!!!

Wow I can't believe people are talking about me and my reaction on the radio. Thank you for those sticking up for me and yes I was in complete shock. Yes my Fiance had no idea cause we both work different scheduals and I never thought we would win...I never win anything on the radio. I was also up all night coughing cause I am sick...I have gotten sick on top of planning my wedding in less than 3 weeks. So excuse me for BEING IN SHOCK AND KINDA OUT OF IT. My dream wedding was ripped right out from under me and yes I was lucky enought to find a new venue, but how would you feel having to pay for 2 weddings but only getting 1. We lost almost $15,000 to the Georgetown Club. Those who are trashing me don't know me or my situation just that the place I was supposed to have my dream wedding at CLOSED. Go to the Salem News Website and there is a story about me and my fiance winning and it says how I felt and that I wish  I showed more excitement. I wouldn't wish this on anyone and the support I've gotten has been wonderful from everyone until now. I feel bad for all the brides that have lost out on their dream wedding too. I've had to notify people so may times on whats going on and my vendors too. I had a new venue, but we (me, fiance and family) had no idea how we were going to pull this off. This is wonderful and we are so happy. So I am SO SORRY that I didn't sound excited enough for all of you. I am a very shy person and yes I entered my information but never thought I would win. Now we are out there for the public to hear and read about and it is a little uncomfortable. I want to thank my friend for defending me...she and her husband have been so helpful to us. So there you have it...the Kiss 108 Bride who didn't seem grateful to win a free wedding is truly grateful she was just IN SHOCK AND UNDER THE WEATHER.

Ohhhh and 1 more thing...my heart sank when I read what some of you said. Ok you may not have said "un grateful" but thats how it sounded to me. I don't want to sound like a *itch about this, but I had only just found a new venue and I was lucky enough to get that deposit back. To have someone say I should give back the prize because I had a venue hurt cause now I don't have to go into more debt. Not everyone can afford 1 wedding let alone 2. I am so glad that some of you "girls" had nothing better to do than talk about me...I am sure some if not most of you got to have your "Dream Wedding" where mine was ripped away.

best wishes for a terrific wedding day Tracy.  No one should have to go through what you and your fi are going through.

I just heard Tracys sister on the radio this am.  She was saying how thankful the bride and her family are for this wedding.
