I'm normally pretty good.  I've gotten good at separating work from home and that helps.  But this one has been dragging on in perma-crisis mode for about 3 weeks, and it's just sucking the life out of me.  Especially since I see her for about 6-8 hours a week.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : Thats what I thought too. I mean, I get that people might not always remember who did what, but maybe I'm just a meanie and do remember at least one or two, haha.  The thread just looked like another TK irritations thread to me. Just with a new title of NMS. Plus the dollar dance/WP dances/poofy dress ones are <strong>so effing old and I kind of eye rolled that they even were brought up. </strong>

Edie - I worried (and still do) about the dress I picked. I just wonder if I was too impulsive. Oh well.

Angel - Loving the dress. You are that girl that will look wonderful in anything, even a paper bag.

Nope.  I have all ten seasons on DVD.  A few weeks back I decided that I'd try to watch an episode or two a night, but got sidetracked after I finished about 8 episodes so I figured it's time to get back on track.

musicalsunlight

See, Eags (and a lot of people in the NMS thread) targeted fake flowers and I am not butthurt-my bouquet was fake. People need thicker skins though. 

baystateapple

Petal, did you post a picture of your dress?

starrynight84

Angel, that is a beautiful dress. I love the neckline and the skirt. It is perfect for your venue, too (if you're the same Angel from the Philly board, which I'm pretty sure you are?)

[QUOTE]Ange, you look amazing.  I missed NMS.  I don't like colored wedding dresses, dresses with high necklines and necklaces (less is more, otherwise it looks cluttered), silk flowers, and tall centerpieces.  I also dislike fondant cakes and colored uplighting.  Nor am I a fan of satin on bridesmaids, because it wrinkles and looks sloppy. Flame me, bro.

COME AT ME, BRO!

Our baker asked if we wanted her to put fondant on our CHEESECAKE.  I looked at her blankly for a second and then said "Why would we want you to RUIN our wedding cake?"  H kicked me under the table, but I didn't care.

My butt is hurt now. Thanks Eagles.

There were several things mentioned that I'm doing. I pondered what they had to say and then continued with what we are doing.

I know it's completely ridiculous of me, but any time I see pink as a wedding color I wonder if the groom had ANY say in anything wedding related.

Mmmm, Summer Shandy.  The only beer I've ever loved.

When I drink now, it's either wine or whiskey.  The bonus about drinking whiskey?  No one ever wants to steal your drink or bum a drink off you. 

OH MY GOD J GO MAKE YOURSELF SOME DAMN DINNER.

zizibet

Got the chicken in the oven and started the potatoes for dinner so am back.
Wish I had wine. Tired of the scrolling Dish thing on bridezillas.
New Design Star tonight.

angelstar975

Haha, I don't know about that Petal, but thanks!

Eagles, I want tall centerpieces (those candelabras), purple lights on the brick walls of the venue and matte satin bridesmaids dresses, haha. My style is not a lot of people's style though, I like bling and being flashy.

I said I didn't like matching bridesmaid dresses and no one said anything!  I was expecting some pushback - I'm probably the only person on here who didn't have matching dresses.

Starry, yup, that's me!

ETA - And yeah, I picked it over another one I loved because it fits the venue, I think.

I've never seen an episode of SATC.

Fondant on cheesecake?  What in the world was your baker smoking that day, J?

Bay - Not tonight. 

musicalsunlight

Not all men hate pink though, or even have much of a care either way about it. 

I know what you mean Rach, which does suck that people would do that. No one should defend their choices. Its just like "yup, I did that, you don't like it. Ok cool." But again, not everyone has thick skin.

No matching anything?  Not even the color?

I wasn't a fan of that but I've seen several now that did it quite beautifully.  If I could do it over I'd probably go the non-matching route.

I'm not in love with them, but I'm not opposed to the idea of having them either.

Petal -- pretty pretty!  I like it.

J&K10910

I think she wanted to try to make it look like a "real" wedding cake.  Which, it DID.  Without fondant.  See?



So, basically, biiitch be crazy.  She also told me a raspberry lemon flavored tier was "interesting," and asked if I was sure.  It was the most popular flavor.

That's why I know it's completely ridiculous.  For whatever reason, it's just the first thing that comes to mind.
