So, welcome to the Knot! Or... goodbye, I guess, if you've already GBCK'd. (That stands for goodbye, cruel Knot, by the way)
Okay, honeys, I know you think the regular posters are mean, bitter old hags. I know you must feel sorry for their fiancés/husbands. I know you came here expecting to get 'supportive' answers. So please, let me offer some friendly advice.
Calm down. If wedding planning is so stressful to you that you're upset by things people say to you on the internet, you need to back off and take a deep breath. Ultimately, you're just planning a party. At the end of the day, you'll be married to the man you love. And that can't be negated by an uneven wedding party, or your future mother-in-law showing up in a white dress, or your bridesmaids not being able to throw you a party.
Focus on what's truly important here and know that the ladies here are going to give you the tough answers that you need to hear. Your friends and families may smile to your face and judge behind your back, but we will tell you the truth. We will let you know when you're setting yourself up to make people resentful.
If you can't handle the truth, I'm sorry, but the main boards here may not be for you. The month boards are full of puppies and rainbows, as are weddingwire.com and weddingbee.com. I hope you can find somewhere you fit in. Honestly, I hope you can fit in at the Knot. I love the regulars here. They're smart, witty, amazing women who always tell it like it is.
Good luck!
