Wow, I missed a lot of crazy this week. I'm glad I'm now catching up.

A general flame for all the new posters coming in and then freaking out about how we're all so mean because we're not responding to their actual question but telling them that their horrible ideas are in fact horrible. It's really starting to get old to read all the "OMG guys, I didn't ask if you think bridal slaves are a good idea, I ASKED what I can call them."

Flame for crebernik for not coming back with a link for where the wedding bee people are talking about the mean ol' regs on the knot: http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_moms-maids_rant. And that whole thread in general.

Everyone should just drink Arnold Palmers. I'm picky about my sweet tea, so when there's no good sweet, I'll take unsweet with lemonade.

A flame to those who expect people to mind read. When they ask something and provide very vague back stories and then flip out when people assume.

No way! Based on your siggy pics I definitely thought you were 30-32 tops.

FFF to alyssamarie84 for being petty and thinking about having her FI not invite his own brother to the wedding because she doesn't like his wife. Yes she was rude and not two-faced to you, but wear the big girl panties and let it go

ladytori

I flame anyone who doesn't want to invite someone's significant other. You either invite people as a couple or you don't invite them at all.

I wonder if she knows my friend's grandmother who told her that if she didn't cook for her bf he would most definitely cheat on her and leave.

<div>In her defense, I did notice in the other threads, she posed her question at the end and got no responses (or at least hadn't by the next day; I never went back to see followup), so that's probably why she started a new thread on it. Those previous threads hadn't addressed the one per room or person question she was asking. </div>

Oh like the girls whose weddings are in 2015 and think it should be all about them and their planning etc.  Who cares about the 2013 brides who are a little stressed right now.

Love to everybody who gave me GREAT advice on Monday when I lost my job. Thank you for making me feel like Im not alone in this and for helping me look for the silver lining. It was great to hear something other than "oh, you will be fine" & actually recieving some real advice.

My flame goes out to Alyelcalil for her post on I&P. Because she had a "rough first year of marriage" she feels like she needs to renew her vows...well, actually have a PPD. She didnt get the experience of wearing the white dress and having bridesmaids when she eloped just over a year ago. Also, for not changing her name until now. Got married in Dec 2011 and still hasnt changed her name? I have no problem with people not changing their name at all, but if you decide to change your name, why should it take over a year?

ETA: I also want to give love to everybody who post all the funny ridiculous things that kids in their lives say. They are too cute!

I really don't get this. When a work friend of mine got engaged shortly after me, I was all about telling her to check out my venue. I think it's awesome. Why wouldn't I want someone else to go there?

I think it's natural instinct to want to avoid the DMV and Social Security office like the plague.

eta: I lost my ss card when J and I moved in together and I said screw getting it replaced because I'd get married eventually. Which means I'm basically a fortune teller because it's happening, pretty spooky.

Oh, that reminds me, our venue got a makeover this year. New carpet, paint, some nice updates.

BRB, gotta go stamp my feet until they cancel all other weddings before mine this year. Mine has to be the first wedding with the new look, you guys!

^That's a joke, btw, in case the internet broke it.

I have to second this. I dont understand why someone would spend the time posting the "could I be prego" question when it only takes a moment to take a test or call your doctor. If you really must post that question, you should take it over the The Bump forums.

Posted by Sierra524[/QUOTE]

Actually, my mom didn't change her name for about 4 years. She just never got around to it, then considered not changing it at all, and then ended up having to change it due to her dad applying for a job in the same company (they were very anti nepotism at the time - even though my mom had nothing to do with the application, she still couldn't be linked to him for him to be considered).

So, it can happen...
