Yep. That's exactly what you should do.

I am SO JEALOUS of people with money to have blue champagne and Swarovski crystals!  so.jealous.

emilyinchile

Damn, I have no one to flame...apparently I don't need the call-out site either because everything I could think of that bugged me this week was something where I'd already told the person that.

You can really tell from this FFF that E is full of horrible, mean people. Except I'm confused...if being skinny makes you bitchy, and we're bitchy, then how can we also all be fat? And we MUST be both bitch and fat because anonymous pictures on the internet say it's so!

[QUOTE]Poli, when I had a few people pulling that on me, I just called them and left a message saying, "I have tried to call you several times to see if you will be able to come to our wedding, but my headcount is due and since I haven't heard from you, I am going to have to count you as not attending." Sucks, but it's the truth.
Posted by JessAndTrav[/QUOTE]

You're right. I'm trying not to take it personally, but it's especially annoying since one is my friend's mother who lives right by us. And the other is a couple whose wedding we went to last year. Come on, people! I'm bringing the angry!

JessAndTrav

It's crazy how many of the callouts seem to be out of jealousy.

Agreed. With both you and Ricks. Heaven forbid anyone who posts on E is anything other than middle-class. *eyeroll*

Andalso, with the new ones. I have a question about what on earth is wrong with a six hundred dollar dress? Anyone? Nobody? Right then. People are jealous, sneakily bitchy, spineless snobs.

how do you feel about people sharing their wedding budget on here?
just asking because a few people have a problem with it.
and I've never read aprove's bragging posts, so I can't comment on them. but I know there's a difference between aw-ing and being smug. being smug isn't just about money. look at how people hate that chick who had the destination-but-not-destination wedding. for the life of me I can't remember her name.

See this was totally my joke because people can't decide wtf we are over here and call us everything.  I guess nobody got it and thought I was really talking weight.....like for real I'm not a stereotyper and I thought people would know me well enough to decipher. 

I'll try joking again later.  ;) 

emilyinchile

But Alix, my dress didn't cost exactly $600 so depending on how much I spent, Salt's dress was either cheap and trashy or a ridiculous waste of money. Everyone should be the same as meeeeeeeeeee!!!!

well, she wanted a wedding in hawaii but was on a budget, so she "brought hawaii to them!"
it wasn't just that her wedding was tacky. it was that she thought she was the etiquette queen for a looooong time.

Well crap Salt.  My dress was $400.  I guess we'll be the cheap dress girls.

the picture is hilarious. but just because she's getting defensive doesn't mean she's full of shiit. I don't see how the dots connect there.

I've never answered those polls because I think it's so different depending on where you live.  What is the norm in my area might not be the norm in another person's.  I think, too, you can really get a good sense of how much people spend by checking statistics on wedding spending online.  It doesn't have to be asked on here.

And while I'm on the subject, I flame the folks that don't look up common questions in the search boxes.  They just endlessly ask the same questions over and over again.  Learn to use the message boards.

ohwhynot

I agree that there is a LOT of jealousy behind the posts.  Jealous about money, about good looks, good marriages, and being liked by others.  That's sad. 

The budget thing goes both ways, interestingly.  People seem to get bonus points for being all "well, my wedding only cost 2 cents" and for being the most casual, laid-back bride who doesn't care about anything.  It's odd. 

That's why, in the budget poll, I mentioned that while my budget was small(ish), I am not particularly proud of that fact and if I had more money to spend, I probably would have. 

I guess everyone has her own line, and I guess it just bothers some people that others spend what they consider lavish amounts of money on things like crystals or hair decorations.  Then again, if a poster just plain bugs you, then every thing she posts bugs you, whether it is in and of itself bug-worthy or not.  I suspect that may be the case with aprove and belle.

JessAndTrav

None of your dresses were expensive as mine.

NONE OF THEM.

My dress was in the range of $829,799 to $829,799.01

My dress was the classiest, and ALL of your dresses are the trashiest.

So there!

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

A lot of us have nice little splurges in our wedding and/or spent more than we ever imagined on one outfit for one day or on an open bar or on our shoes or whatever. But when someone constantly reminds you that their ring is CARTIER and they own more manolos than they can count and their dress is Vera Wang and they're paying to fly 80 people to their wedding in Crete, then you're being tacky. It's AWish. (Especially when you mention the label of everything you buy. Tiffany toasting flutes!!!!) Rolling my eyes at that is not out of jealousy, I assure you.

I love when people AW their designer shoes or whatever, but there's a difference between that and HAVING to pay crap tons of money for EVERYTHING because cheap is just SO not your thing.

ricksang

Wow that's a new one about Aprove. The dots don't connect. Defending yourself does not = liar. We'd all be liars wouldn't we!?

emilyinchile

Aww, Stacks, at least if no one got your joke you're in good company with unfunny Salt, right? And I knew you weren't being serious, but I thought that since Nebb's on GIS and has presumably lost weight, you were joking about that - didn't know you were tying that into the whole E is fat/bitchy thing as well.
