Good Evening

J&K10910

I would have a hard time taking seriously a wedding ceremony that took place in a bar.

Maybe we should start easy  like a NMS thread next week and let people air out some of their feelings.

NMS = Not My Style? Is it sorta like AYG?

MyUserName1

I think that some things are up for mocking and some are not.

My fat mom = off limits.

you don't like my shoes = mock away.

Oh, I just thought of an example to support Daff.  When someone (could it have even BEEN Daff?) flamed....Rachers (I think?) for having a "Here Comes the Bride" sign (or some sign), and then everyone was like ZOMGWTFBBQ WHO CARES IT'S CUTE!

That shiiit would have been tooooorn.to.pieces back in the day.  And if I'm interpreting Daff correctly, that's the kind of stuff she's talking about.  Or am I whack, Daff?

That reminds me of when someone (LVB, maybe?) pointed out that my wedding shoes were too big.  I laughed.  It was true.  I mocked myself for it on my wedding day.

mica178

Not my style.  I have memories of an old NMS thread or two that went ugly because they are sort of vague, but everyone takes them personally.

MyUserName1

NMS sounds like a great time.  I'll have to AW my pics before we do it.  I don't give two schitts if my wedding isn't someone else's style.

mica178

I've danced on a pool table.  Mind you, I wasn't wearing a wedding dress at the time.

ArynBaker

So basically in an NMS people point out stuff from other weddings/cloths/etc. that they have seen posters do but say they wouldn't do it themselves?

Yeah, that was me, and that was exactly my issue with that whole bit. I don't really give a rat's ass about rachers having a here comes the bride banner, my issue was that nobody ripped it to shreds. That made me sad.

J&K10910

I don't see a problem with dancing on any tables, including pool tables.  You just have to take your heels off first so you don't scuff the surface

wrigleyville

I would totally dance on a pool table. Or a bar.

I've always kinda wanted to be like the Coyote Ugly girls. Blue biitches about the job sometimes, but there's a part of me that's always kind of, "... but it sounds like fun..."

Yeah it's been a major bummer. My bass teacher had successful surgery for it, but I hope it doesn't come anywhere near that. And I'll definitely be posting pics of the fireplace when it's all done because I'm a shameless AW.

Whew, I'm just glad I'm not crazy and making shiiit up.

mica178

That all drives me nuts too.

I remember recently some newb was complaining about her parents not being excited about her wedding (2 years away).  The girl was 22 with a 34 year old FI.  No one said boo about anything other than the wedding being a long way off.  Once upon a time, people would have said something about the immaturity of the bride and the age gap.

Sigh.

"Here Comes the Bride" signs always make me feel like I'm at a dog and pony show. How much more attention do you need?

(I like Ranchers, so she is the non-AW exception.)

I was at another wedding where the kids ran down the aisle ringing bells and yelling, "The bride is coming! The bride is coming!" WTF. It was like Paul Revere's midnight ride. That ish doesn't belong at a wedding. It seriously startled the old folks.

Maybe I should save this for the NMS thread...

I remember that. You were all, "Hello? Guys? Elephant in the room?"

I really don't even mind the puppies and rainbows stuff most of the time (and really, it's not even puppies and rainbows, it's just not like how it used to be, which makes sense)... but I have my patient, helpful, counselor hat on all day...sometimes when I come here I want it to be exactly what I HAVEN'T already been doing all day.

I don't think I'd participate in a NMS type thread, and I probably wouldn't read it either, but I've got no issues with it (a NMS thread just is NMS, ha).  Half the board, however, will have a conniption.  And that amuses me.

No, see, that's a lameass cop out.

When I was in my 20s, I tried going out on a date with a guy 12 years older than me.  That was a wasted evening.

Well, it was like the HO thread that turned into a lovefest.  We just can't deal with being honest with each other.  Or rather, we're all scared to find out the truth.

I went on a date with a 40 year old when I was 22. That was interesting.

For me, it's kind of like...no shiiitt sherlock?

I'm not even sure I'd have much to say in a NMS thread, because I can't think of any examples off the top of my head. I'd enjoy it more on the fly, like - get a load of those fug centerpieces or whatever. Like that one chick back in the day who aw'ed her pictures and we were all like, get a load of those Rainbow Brite wooden flower and hairnet of a birdcage veil.

Strapless dresses?

I think I tried to do the HO right but I have such a bad memory that unless someone was in a chat thread with me in the past 24 hours I will not remember them, their posting style, or anything they've ever said.

I'll be honest, I asked people to go easy on me for the HO thread, because I was having a rotten week that week. I was actually surprised I wasn't more harshly raked over the coals.

Agreed. Sort of like a real-time "Four Weddings", where it's just spontaneous "wtf is up with the skirt on her dress".
