*forehead smack*

This chick on a local board is a student and has 2 years before her wedding. She wanted to know if it is possible to have a wedding for 175 for $10,000. But here's what gets me:

"I know that I want it to be a indoor affair with a grand look almost princess like if that makes sense I  Iike finner stuff and we want to fit in the Dallas Cowboys that is why my colors are Navy blue and Slilver. I only like white roses If that helps. "

This local board is seldom chatty and this gets 20+ responses. I just want to send her a dictionary. This quote isn't a great example but I knew y'all would appreciate the "princess" combined with "finner stuff" and Dallas Cowboys. I have a picture of in my head of Cinderella in a Dallas helmet with gills (fins) all over her body.

And what is she in school for - junior high??? Sigh...

    LOL I thought the same sort of thing, except with cheerleaders in all the wedding pics

    I think it's because Pretty Pretty Princesses get carried away on white horses, and the next best thing for her is a Dallas Cowboy?

    Also, she is an affront to the entire DC area, if that's your local board. Dangerous place to be declaring *that* affiliation.

    Dude, why discourage her? 

    I, for one, hope to see a Dallas Cowboy Cake with Cinderella cake topper on cakewrecks.com. 

    I think it's awesome when people just let their BSC idea flag fly-- high and proud. 

    (Though chances are, she'll realize that $10k doesn't go very far for 175 people... so I don't see her idea reaching it's full, awesome potential.)

    I'm with BlueBox. Sometimes it's fun to watch the crazy super implode. It's what Bridezillas episodes are made of.

    Sadly Zane, I just moved to the sticks. You are right though - in DC she should be slaughtered. Plus you have to be able to spell to live there, I think.

    She actually might be able to do a wedding with that budget here. It would be kind of hillbilly-esque but totally doable.

    I'm getting my RH of NY fix in a few minutes. I saw Ramona with a glass of pinot in the previews, so this is going to be good.

    Hey, I have no problems with hillbilly weddings! If that's what you want, so be it.

    I think you could do a wedding with that budget in DC too, if you planned and budgeted well. It wouldn't be a pretty princess day, but it could still be a pretty nice wedding.

    As for being able to spell in DC--I'm not so sure about that. The class I TA has been doing presentations the last few weeks, and the spelling on their slides has been atrocious in some cases (except for the group that clearly just copied and pasted from their article).

    Ohhh, I should show her my china, which the sales lady at BBB said is cowboys china. I might still be bitter about that. 'course I don't really know much about the finner things or princesses. I'm just wanting people to dance at my wedding.

    For some reason "I only like white roses" is pissing me off.

    And frankly I think anyone who uses the word "affair" to describe their own wedding should be smacked. What the heck do you think this is - a freakin' White House State Dinner?

    Goes back to the whole no-one-cares-as-much-about-your-wedding-as-you-do concept.

    Whatevs, my wedding is going to be a gala event Affair! Yes, with a capital A.



    Maybe that's the only color rose she likes? It can't be that's the only flower she likes, ever. I hope.

    Nah, further posts suggest that is the ONLY flower she likes. What a sad way to live...

    If you're only going to like one flower, ever, that's a lame one to pick.
