In Response to Re:FFF/LFF:[QUOTE]In Response to Re:FFF/LFF:In Response to Re:FFF/LFF: I just read that whole thing. My brain hurts. What was her point?Posted by misshart00Beats me. Something about the epidemic of type 2 diabetes and whether it will or will not affect the fate of the "cake and punch reception" some distant time in the future, I think. I couldn't get past the Wikipedia citation though. If you're going to be on a soap box that tall, you need some serious peerreviewed journal publications to cite. Posted by SKPM[/QUOTE]

I think I got that. It was like she couldn't get over the evils of sugar, but I couldn't get over the fact that she kepy goig back to, 'but I love cake!!'

And, not for nothing, I feel like people here pretty much ALWAYS recommend having some non-sweet items even for a "cake and punch" affair. The cheese/meat/veggie thing is common knowledge that apperently bypassed that OP (or she didn't actually read many posts like she said she did).

This. That thread was just odd. I'll admit, I didn't look at her links, but I didn't appreciate the lecture on how sugar will kill me so I didn't bother. If she had just asked why people always suggest cake and punch when both are sugary, she would have gotten a much better response. I was enjoying my sugar-filled Coke while reading that :-D

I looked at the links and they weren't anything special. Really nothing backing them up. Clearly by telling her that I didn't think Wikipedia was a trusted source I was just jumping on the bandwagon of Wikipedia hate though.

I do have to flame myself for getting so riled up by that thread though.

I'm going to flame the Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids series (only because I was just watching it, and the episode I watched struck a nerve). It totally encourages brides to believe the whole "it's your day, treat your closest friends like crap". Also, when you make an appointment to look at bridesmaids dress, is it really the bride's appointment, or is it the bridesmaids. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the bridesmaids trying on dresses for their friend's wedding, so technically it would be their appointment right?! SYTTD: Bridesmaids does it the opposite way.
Then again, that particular series tends to have a lot of drama coming from both the brides and the bms.

<div>You do realize it's a TV and it exists for the drama? No one is going to watch 30 minutes of brides and BMs being happy and lovey dovey. Tension sells. </div>

Yeah I do realize that.
Although there are episodes where things are lovey dovey, like the bride or someone close to her overcame a major obstacle in their lives and it's a special moment for them to be at her appointment as she finds her wedding dress, I love those episodes.

Ditto. This is a strange concept... Seriously does anyone even give a hoot?

Okay, obviously I lurk but I just have to FFF weddingbee's idea of etiquette. I know the "pop quiz" was posted earlier this week but everytime I see a question there about cash bars, B lists, honeymoon registries I just want to go:






But all the Bees are like




I just, I just can't.

I flame anyone who says their experiences are the NORM for an entire state or region. 

For example, someone posted they were born and raised in New Jersey and CASH BARS are the NORM.   Um, that is not my experience.  My own NJ wedding was open bar and according to my coordinator that is the norm from them.       

On that same note, we just moved to the mid-west and based on here cash bars and buffets were the norm.  Well DH has had a wedding every weekend for the last 3 months.  Not one was a buffet or a cash bar.   

so it brings be back to your experiences are NOT based on regions or your state.  It's based on your social groups.

One of my co workers kept signing her e-mails to me "Ok buddy...yeah buddy."..etc...and I didn't get it at all. I kept thinking of Pauly Shore. Someone even said something about Paul from Jersey shore but I didn't know what that was and all i heard was Paul and Shore.

I am out of touch.
