And thank goodness, if we all loved the same things everybody's wedding would be exactly the same! Please be confident in the decisions you made for your wedding. I'm certain you chose the things that you loved and that they were excellent choices!!

    Oh, honey. I don't usually pull the post-count card, but seriously? I've been around here long enough to not really give a shiit what people say. Trust me, nothing was taken personally.
    I think you meant well, which I can appreciate- but this whole response was pretty fake and condescending, too.

    What does post-count have to do with reading social cues?

    The volume of your responses arguing the same point would logically lead one to believe that you were pissed off. Not-pissed-off people usually just give up. Just because someone was attempting to be nice doesn't mean you have to condescendingly bring up that you are a more talkative member of the TK boards than she is.

    That's it. I'm done with this entire conversation. Clearly, I created a monster. I guess we can just blame that on my bronze status and call it a day.

    LOL. I love the girls that continue the convos and try to keep it light-hearted like it was meant to be. Sometimes you just can't please everyone. :) lol. Mooooving on now. :) One last thing though... @Steph - the "Oh, honey. I don't usually pull the post count card.." comment was unnecessary. Maybe mostly the sarcastic, "Oh, honey."

    CAN'T WE ALL BE FRIENDS?!? (name that movie) lol. :) TGIF! :)

    She was trying to tell me how not to take things personally that are said on teh internet. I was just saying... yes. I realize. I've been here awhile- I get it.

    I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do here.  I'm just trying to explain myself. So everyone else can keep telling me I'm wrong, but I can't come back to respond? (Because then it'll make me pissed off.)

    Clearly, my tone was completely misinterpreted this entire thread. I genuinely was not upset or defensive at all.

    Gah, I said I was done with this... but here's my final comments:

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: I know everyone loves _______, but I hate it! : She was trying to tell me how not to take things personally that are said on teh internet. I was just saying... yes. I realize. I've been here awhile- I get it.[/QUOTE]

    If that was your intent, that's fine. We get it. We know you're probably not laying awake at night stewing over the fact that some mean ladies on TK don't think busty girls should wear strapless dresses. What I thought was unnecessary was your wording/tone.

    [QUOTE] I'm just trying to explain myself. So everyone else can keep telling me I'm wrong, but I can't come back to respond? (Because then it'll make me pissed off.) Clearly, my tone was completely misinterpreted this entire thread. I genuinely was not upset or defensive at all.[/QUOTE]

    I can't speak for everyone here, but as for my own responses to your posts, more than anything, I was trying to make peace by explaining that you may be misinterpreting people's intents. In response, you just kept arguing your same point over and over again and not conceding to anyone in any way. The only time I suggested that you were 'wrong' was when you suggested that saying that there's some huge difference between saying that a dress makes everyone look like crap and a saying a dress makes everyone look like a prostitute. They're both probably offensive to Pnina fans, so all I was trying to say is that the distinction is arbitrary.

    And... now I'm done.

    God, I hate fake mustaches.

    I love this idea, but then again... it may take away from the epic win that is <em>this thread</em>.

    In any event, I bet my cupcakes were better than anybody else's wedding cake. Friggin' cupcake haters.

    I still hate mustaches, though.

    <em>Nice</em>...

    If you do, I'm going to come out staunchly in support of cash bars and fiercely criticize anyone who DOESN'T have a cash bar... you know... just to cause a stir and get more people to post.

    I might even promote BYOB and Potlucks while I'm at it.

    Perhaps that you should throw in that you're kicking out one of your bridesmaids because she doesn't like cash bars.......you know, just for good measure.

    Well, I kicked a couple of bridesmaids out... but it was mainly because one gained too much weight, and the other one lost a bunch of weight and was therefore skinnier and cuter than me. Couldn't have that, you know. Wink

    And yeah, I don't mind partially hosted bars. I tried like hell (and succeeded) in avoiding it for my own wedding... but have long since come to terms with the fact that if I want a whiskey sour instead of a Miller Light, I'm going to have to fork over a couple of bucks. It's practically a midwestern tradition, after all. At least it's an improvement over the dry, dance-free, church-basement wedding receptions most of my cousins have down in South Carolina.

    Completely agree. At a friend's wedding (that both FI and I were in the WP for) she had a cash bar which I'm totally fine with paying for my own vodka collins especially when the bride doesn't drink at all so didn't really want to provide liquor for everyone, however FI, who is also not a big drinker, was paying for his diet coke's all night, as well. THAT is lame, IMO. At that point, I'd rather it be BYOB because at least then he could have brought in his own can of pop rather then spending $2 a glass.
