Code Red: Bridezilla Alert!

Alicesella88

I have been reading the advice that you gals give out, and it has all been very helpful for me in the planning process. You ladies give great advice. I usually just lurk, and never had a reason to make an account before now.

A friend of a friend posted their wedding blog on Facebook the other day, and I wanted to share it with you ladies. I was reading through some of her blog posts and I couldn't believe how rude she is being to her guests in her blog posts. She is using the "No ring no bring" line to keep her guest list down, and calls herself bridezilla on a daily basis! If you want to chek out her blog you can read it here. ( <--- Link)

Why do friends and family members let girls get away with things like this?

disgusting, all of it. (and I was only able to make it through 2-3 posts before wanting to scream!)

I'm curious if this woman will tell her guests they're getting candy she bought 19 months prior to the wedding.

But! Their love is red hot! And how do you possibly have a wedding without a practice run at your self hosted engagement party!

KellyBrian2013

Oh dear lord, and she has a facebook page... with people fawning over her "great ideas". The engagement party is being referred to as the "practice wedding". Gag me!

I love this line:

"If you like her enough to want to bring her to the most special day of my life, well, you shoulda put a ring on it."

WTF. I'm sure glad FI and I are getting married for the sole purpose that I'll be able to bring him to the most special day of all my friend's lives, and because y'know...I want to spend everyday of the rest of my life with him...FFS

I just read the no ring no bring post.http://www.abrideonabudget.com/2012/10/no-ring-no-bring.html

Wow... With an attitude like that, she will ruin her own day.

This was posted on Snarky Brides yesterday I think.  I also think its weird that you opened an account just today to post the same link.  Why am I betting that she's not really your friend?  She's definitely a bridezilla, but you didn't need to make a new account to tell people that.

@ freebread03  Either that or multiple girls read this and well...agree with her.  I know another board that i belong to cerainly discusses or should i say...'disgust' (pun intended) her posts.  So she's obviously not just someone with a vendeta...Perhaps that many girls are just really that naseauted by her attitude.

<div>I agree that it's offensive to all, but saying you lurk and that advice here has been helpful in the past, but you only joined today....well I think that's just shady. I don't know why I even care.</div>

<div>Maybe they lurked before making an account. They can easily search for questions they have and take the advice that was given on the topics.  How would you know any different? They finally made an account when they wanted to post something. </div>

That was 5 minutes of my life I will never, EVER get back. Ew.

I think Free was talking about the OP saying she just lurks... Whatever, I don't care why her first post is this thread.

This girl is disgusting. OP, you should direct her to TK. She'll probably pout and scream after her first post.

I lurked from March of 2011 until July 2011 without an account. You can read everything, just not ask for advice. I was looking for info about military spouses and ended up on TK. I just didn't want to create an account until I was engaged. I don't think it's any weirder than lurking while having an account. 

Alicesella88

You don't need to make an account to lurk and read through the boards.

libby2483

Wow, that was frustrating to even read.  At least on her "No Ring No Bring" post, everyone in the comments called her out on being tacky and rude.

NYCMercedes

I started lurking when my son got engaged awhile ago. Finally I just couldn't take it anymore so made an account. I have learned a lot by lurking-lots of good advice here. Biggest thing I have learned is that it's their day and I need to keep my mouth shut. Thank you all!

NYCMercedes

Ok. Just read everything. I am totally off topic. sigh

aquari0216

Sounds like a bunch of haters on here....and I LOVE the "no ring no bring"...works good when you are on a small budget and she's right, cuz I'm not paying for my best male friends "dip of the week" lol.....but I can agree on some level and say that she is really trying to be that Bridezilla .....shes grown...her family and friend aren't ALLOWING her to do anything...She just doesn't need their permission....unfortunately...
