FFF!

mlg78 · March 2013

It's been a crazy week and I'm sure everyone has a long list for FFF!

I flame anyone who has posted about wanting a "house party". It's not an honor and your friends should boycott your wedding.

I flame the crappy father of the bride yesterday who appears to use money to control his daughter.

I flame saya0001 for making such absurd remarks about Addie's wedding pictures.

I flame anyone who posts and then does the dirty delete in attempts to hide their original post.

I flame christina0345 for having the audacity to post her $3,900 china set on eBay after just six months of marriage (along with her super expensive stemware)...oh, and her uber cheap wedding band because clearly she doesn't value things that have meaning, just the "stuff" people give her.

Crap. This is getting long.

rachelm13 · March 2013

I totally flame that dad yesterday. Makes my dad look like father of the frikkin year! Additionally his deleting makes me triple flame him.

ONNNN that same note, I flame that chick that started off griping about the married ladies on the board then also dirty deleted her post and changed it into something like: HI! I am so happy to get married! It made me kinda stabby.

I also flame the groom's mom that went all BSC on his pregnant sister while moving out. I am happy there are some positives that came out of that though. He seems like such a nice guy and loves his sister a lot. That gives me a warm fuzzy, while wanting to call the paddy wagon on his mom.

Good morning, ladies! I am up so I can be first in line at Social Security to finally file for my name change! Woot! The full moon earlier this week clearly brought out some nutters.

My first flame goes to Aggie Coley who gave us this little gem. I especially enjoyed the way she made me feel old and uncool for not liking her apparently young, hip idea. Maybe while I'm at Social Security I can go ahead and start claiming my old lady benefits.

The responses she got there then prompted her to go complain about us on Chit Chat b/c, you know, she was gonna finally be the one this type of post worked for, I guess:

misshart00 · March 2013

I second or third the Christina one. Since she's from my city and I know all the local stores she was talking about, I wanted to put something like, "omg, I can't believe I spent so much time picking that out because I thought you really wanted it. I'm apauled (sp?) that you're banking off of me and the rest of your friends." Or something like that.

[QUOTE]I also flame Mooncups over on chit chat for the "former bride with a question" thread. It's bad enough to hold a grudge for 3 years over not getting a gift or someone not coming to your wedding. To act like you're doing so because it's what etiquette says to do is just mind boggling.

I flame FatheroftheBride not just for his crazy rude post here, but for heading over to another board to ask if he could delete his post somehow. As if we don't also read multiple boards.

I flame Audreymchan for sending separate invites to those who aren't invited for dinner, but can come and dance with everyone else.

I flame Lauren21887 for being a total control freak about her bridemaids all being with her when she gets her done, and whining like a little b!*ch when she didn't get support on the WP board.

I also flame Saya00001 for wanting another word for Honourary BM.

hoffse · March 2013

I flame the father of the bride. For obvious reasons. I flame Christina for putting her wedding china on ebay 6 months after the wedding (her ebay listing says the marriage ended 4 months after it began). I don't care what the china costs, but I feel like there should be an etiquette rule saying that if the marriage lasts less than a year the couple should offer to return wedding gifts. It bugs me that she was like "I don't care about this stuff!" Ugh. Then why did your guests shell out thousands of dollars for it?

I also flame the thank you note poster whose wedding was in October and is just now asking about when thank you notes should start going out. This is undoubtedly my biggest wedding pet peeve because the only thing it can be attributed to is laziness.

I don't have a problem with dessert receptions, but who wants to get up early on a Saturday, go to a 10:30am ceremony, then wait a few hours until 1pm for cake and cookies? Seriously? Just have the desserts after the ceremony and send the people on their way.

I flame Deneigelovescat from the vow renewal thread who posted a long rant about how we're all so awful and judgemental for saying PPDs are a bad idea and then refused to respond to Maggie's very well thought out and not at all snarky response.

A general flame goes out to any poster who never returns to say thanks for the advice and/or answer our additional questions. Lame.

ETA: a non-TK related flame goes out to my "friend" from college who just univinted all of her college friends to her April wedding because she and FI realized they have 50 less seats than they thought. Oh, this was via a mass Facebook message, too. Klassy.

The worst offenders are brides wanting PPDs/tiered receptions and brides wanting to include childrens' names (theirs or FIs) on the invitation. We had an example of each this week...which was enough to drive me to drink (not that that's a problem...)
