I saw one one time that was a ticker for ovulation. I think it was someone coming over from TN or TB. But still, waaaaay too much information.

Hm.
Well, not only do I have a Christmas ticker, we have a white board at work we've been counting Christmas down on for awhile...

I'll make up an excuse.

We get tons of snow, -40 c weather, constant ice, and live in the frozen depths of all that is cold for 6 months.
If we didn't have Christmas to look forward to, winter would SUCK.

Yeah I see your Christmas ticker. You were definitely in my mind when I wrote that one. Also, I saw some poster who had a Christmas ticker, and it was her month's board siggy challenge (which I also can't stand. I HATE siggy challenges). Why the eff would a siggy challenge be to make a Christmas countdown?

No. Saskatchewan.

Weather happens here. Lots.

Fun fact (or not), our license plates say "Land of the Living Skies" on them.

YES. As if that word doesn't suck enough, it is in fact, the way my MIL pronounces the word baby. As in "someday I'll have some beautiful grandbeebees". Yuck.

Yeah, DH and I actually do that too, but I've never really associated beebee with behbeh.

But every time I see it, I can hear MIL's shrill little voice in my head. Don't get me wrong, I love the lady, but that's one of her habits that annoys me to no end.

[QUOTE]I think when parents don't contribute a dime, it's weird. I'm not going to lie. My friend's parents aren't very well off but, her mom paid for her wedding dress. I thought that was a sweet and nice. Not saying that the whole tab has to be paid for by the parents. That's not it at all. It could be where I come from and my circle of friends. IDK.

My mom didn't pay for a thing. She even set up a shower, and had everyone else pay for it, then not show up.

[QUOTE]I really don't like it when people come here for advice on guest lists or seating or pretty much anything and the first question is "who's paying?" Or "well if they're paying, then they get to pick." No. No, that is not right. I really don't like that mindset. Just because daddy is paying for the reception doesn't mean that her only options are a) having a polka band and German food for dinner, or B) paying for absolutely everything herself and not taking any money from him. That's stupid.
Posted by NuggetBrain[/QUOTE]

I agree with this. Actually, I agree with most of these posts.

I have a ticker because I like seeing how much longer I have to wait. It reminds me to chill the f**k out a lot. And because I like tickers.

Edit: Whoops, apparently I don't have a ticker. I've got one in my bio, though. Weird.

"Check!"

Bubbalub · December 2010

I agree with 99% of what has been said here, except that parents "should" pay if they can.

I hate the term "anti-bride" that some women use to indicate that they are untraditional in some way. And yet, most of the time when I have heard brides IRL say this, they go on to have fairly traditional weddings and the only non-traditional things are no train on the dress or no tossing of the bouquet. Yeah, that's TOTALLY different from tradition. *eye-roll*

What about graduation? I wouldn't put it in until the semester I graduate, but I'm pretty freakin excited about it.

KatyRoseM · December 2010

I hate when girls come on and say they are having problems with bm dresses and everyone jumps on them saying they should just pick a color and let the bm's get what they want. That works for some people, but some don't like it. I'm sorry that bm's are paying for a dress they didn't want, but they agreed to be in the wedding, and told the bride a budget, if the dress is within that budget tough luck.

Yes its different if the bride didn't ask for budgets, but if she did, suck it up and wear a dress you don't like once for your friend like you agreed to do when you said you would be in the wedding. Ideally everyone likes the dress, and the bride should ask for input, but if each bm doesn't get what she wants, because the bride wants them to match thats ok and partly what they agreed to do.

I agree with this part, but I also don't want to put my friends in a dress that makes them look bad. You BMs are your closest friends, wouldn't you want them to be comfortable and look good? I'm relying heavily on my MOH's opinion (since I haven't selected my other BMs yet, but I have a pretty good idea of who they'll be). I'll probably have matching dresses, but it will be matching dresses that compliment everyone's body type.

KatyRoseM · December 2010

I agree you should try to make them look good. I just hate when people act like the only way to be nice to your BM's is to let them pick their own dresses. My mom is making their dresses for free, it will look good on all of them (though better on some than others), I don't feel bad that they don't get to pick their own.

[QUOTE]I think if parents can, they should, help with wedding costs. It really annoys me when posters jump on a girl because her parents or her FI's parents are helping. Of course, if your parents can't help or won't or the bride is bitching that they didn't contribute, that's something different. And I agree that we shouldn't overspend on our weddings, but for some the help of our parents is really a blessing.
Posted by Meg1979[/QUOTE]

I agree with you, sometimes I'm afraid to mention that my parents are paying for the wedding.

mica178 · December 2010

I don't think people care if your parents pay for the wedding (mine did too). But these girls who ask "How do I ask my parents to pay?" are ridiculous. If your parents don't want to pay for your wedding, they're not going to, and asking is just... no.
