Thought you all would enjoy

I saw this on FB today and it made me think of all of you lovely ladies.

 

"As the wedding draws near i need to kno who still needs an invitation , to remind u guys to bring a dish , if you plan on drinking bring a tent thats right i said tent also if u do not drink anything in a can put it in a jug and label it please No glass thank u and we hope to see u all there "

 

Note: I can spell, I copied the post as written

Even before I started attending weddings myself and learning wedding ettiquete while being a bridesmaid and now a bride-to-be this would have made me look twice. How do you know you need to ask for an invite. What is she going to do if people she doesn't like "reminds her they still need and invitation". A tent? All kinds of crazziness going on here. She is someone who will post status updates about how much she loves her life/FI and then the next post angst filled rants about weddings/her FI. Just thought I'd share.

  • I realize now that she probably meant so they can stay over, but I initially pictured everybody in individual little drinking tents with their jugs.
    I was thinking the exact same thing until I realized, "OH, she wants drunk people to camp the night at her wedding"

    Sure, I'll bring a dish.  But it's not leaving my tent.  I will sit in my zipped-up tent and drink moonshine out of a milk jug while eating my entire container of buffalo chicken dip.  Sounds like a fun wedding.
    Best.  Can I come to your tent because I do love me some buffalo chicken dip?  Can you send me an invite?  I'll bring another dish to share :-)

    @LMc0322 -  I would love your comment one thousand times if I could - Your tent party sounds like it will be more fun than the wedding.

    OP, Can you reply to the Facebook post asking where all of the campers are supposed to go to the bathroom? If she says porta-potties or in the woods I just might die.

    Please please?!

  • I seriously hope all 300 of her FB friends ask for an invitation...

    You are officially invited.  I am going to find this girl on facebook, friend her, and then request my invitation.
  • Lol I wish I had the guts to post something funny on her FB. Truthfully I try to stay out of it. Its one of those random high school people that you forgot you were friends with until crazy stuff starts showing up on your FB newfeed. Its like my own little soap opera. Makes me want to invite myself along just to see what is going on there. She has a love affair with TMNT and would not at all be surprised if it was incorporated....I'm not kidding. Hmm maybe i'll get a friend and go find out just so I can report back LOL. I hadn't thought of bathrooms!

    Yes, and not only will I make you bring a  dish to my party, I'm going to choose what it is and make it something absurdly difficult.  Please bring a croque en bouche to my party.

    Wow.  FI and I recently went to a wedding that was held in the bride's parents yard (out in the country, huge backyard) and they told people if they would like to bring tents and stay over they were welcome.  I thought that was very sweet of them...but this?  Wow.  
  • Are you absolutely sure she posted this?  Is there any chance that her Facebook account was hijacked?

    If you're positive this is her, then....wow.  Insane.
  • A tent? wtf?

  • Wow.  That would come from someone who complains about their FI on facebook.  I cannot stand when I see people on facebook complain about their significant others (unless it's in a joking way).  It's just so trashy.  It's basically airing all of your personal business to all of your family, friends, coworkers, and acquaintances.  One of my facebook friends (a former coworker) posted on facebook for her closest 400 friends to see that she caught her boyfriend talking to another girl and how upset she was about it.  A few days later, she posted how she hates how none of her friends support her in her decision to take him back.  Maybe no one supports you because you decided to tell the whole world your business?

    Nope, its her. It sounds just like her and her grammar. The spelling doesn't bug me as much as the run on sentences....ugh

    I have another FB friend like that too! Well I actually unfriended her because I realized all I was doing was reading her page for drama and gossip. She would complain and talking about bailing her BF out of jail, how he hit her, how he was a dead beat father then complained that no one wanted to come to their wedding....

  • I deactivated my Facebook, but things like this make me miss it so much...

    A girl on my friend's list was like this, posting every single thought, mainly about relationships or lack thereof. My favorite status of hers was, "first night over went well, doing my walk of shame now!"

    I'm going to have to start on this now if I have any hope of having it done for this crazy shanty town tent wedding.  Plus you are going to need a really tall tent.  But it is your tent and your tent party which makes it your super special unicorn day so you can dictate whatever you want from your tent guests :-).  

    But mine will like look like this:
