Really, a DD?

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

I was just going to reply again.

PandaBurr · September 2009

I don't think anybody was particularly rude. Hm.

megk8oz · September 2009

Saw THAT coming from a mile away

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

I agree Panda. Was it that people didn't consider her wedding a DW that sent her over the edge? What an... insult?

winowedding · September 2009

is this the girl with the 200 person DW that she was contemplating charging admission for?

thesuninherhead · September 2009

I don't understand why she would find it that surprising that the rest of us agreed that the notion of charging some guests for attending her wedding was hideously tacky. How can that come as a shock?

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

Wino - Yup. I was just going to remark on her comment: "So the expense of travel and hotel is very minimal, since they would probably be driving to their vacation homes anyway." Sounded like a rationale for charging them for their reception meal, since they wouldn't be spending THAT much money to come to her wedding.

winowedding · September 2009

beatles - I missed the part about her wedding not being a destination. What was that about?

missy68 · September 2009

Screw that. If ya gotta book a plane ticket AND a hotel, THEN its a destination wedding. Please. Myrtle Beach is awesome, but please.

fangsiting · September 2009

Her wedding was 2-3 hours away in a town where a majority of guests had beach houses.

LibertarianBride · September 2009

dammit, i missed that thread! i was too busy reading P2 and E go at it again in that other thread.

winowedding · September 2009

wow. so if you're already going to be in the area, it's ok for you to pay for your own dinner? Let me guess: the line of reasoning is that if they can afford a vacation home, they an afford their own reception meal!

[Deleted User] · September 2009

She sucked. I was kinda surprised because I thought most of the responses were rather kind.

megk8oz · September 2009

Libertarian-you need to learn balance! Klassy threads come and go, but E & P2 will forever be duking it out.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

Why go through the formality of asking them to pay for their meals? They're loaded, so why don't they just host her wedding at their beach homes? What a money-saver.

PandaBurr · September 2009

No, no. She wants it to be fair to everybody. So the people who don't have to pay for a hotel because they have vacation homes to stay at can pay for their dinner instead. Duh.

LibertarianBride · September 2009

hahah I know! I was trying to get everything in at once, but then i just got caught up in the silliness of it all.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

No Panda, you got it wrong still. The people who RSVP first get to have a free meal, provided they have a beach home. The ones who RSVP after the 150-mark better get their wallets out.

mocha beans · September 2009

Really, she DD'd? Unless she was slaughtered after my last post, that was pretty benign. FFS.

megk8oz · September 2009

Mocha, it would have had to have gotten really ugly really fast if that was the reason, because the last time I checked it, it seemed pretty tame, and literally 2 minutes later it was gone.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

It was tame. Nobody even called her a moron. I really think she was offended that we didn't consider a 2-3 hour drive to be a DW, if that's even possible.

[Deleted User] · September 2009

beatles- I was thinking that too.

megk8oz · September 2009

This is true, she was very insistent that it was (and had to be) a DW. Once it came out it was only a 2 hour drive for most people, she must have been crushed to find out how "un-special" her "Not REALLY DW" was.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

Well meg, then there's not much we could have done to help her, if that's what she's focused on. No wonder she considered charging people for their food or tried to negotiate their money in her head. Yikes.

[Deleted User] · September 2009

I would also love to know how she would discretely ask people to cover their cost. I'm picturing something like: "Hey, remember when I loaned you $45? Can I have it back?" or "I'm stuck here in Myrtle Beach and need $45 for a bus ticket back home. Can you help me out?" That last one always works for the homeless people downtown.

megk8oz · September 2009

I could just see how it would have went down: "But it IS a DW, its not like we're having within the 'delivery zone' of the local Dominos. People are going to have to DRIVE more than 5 minutes to get there, tell me how that's NOT a DW?"

[Deleted User] · September 2009

The quote on her profile was something about being a bridezilla and that she always gets her way. It was beautiful.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

LOL meg! Cew, or she could pretend to be one of those "Nigerian students" who needs a loan to get home, and email all her family and friends.

[Deleted User] · September 2009

Yes! or that her rich uncle just died and she needs each guest to send her a check so that she can get the inheritance. True story - FI decided to fuuck with one of those scammers one day. He said he's send the $ if the scammer would send him a picture of himself holding a sign that said "dirty sanchez". The scammer did it. FI thought it was the funniest thing ever. I made him stop talking to the guy b/c it scared me.

beatlesgirl25 · September 2009

HA HA! That is too funny. My FI actually fuucked with one of those people too once, and kept emailing him to the point where they set up a "meet" to exchange the money. Then he never showed up and blocked the guy's email. Nothing too malicious... he just wanted to waste this guy's time like he had wasted FI's.

[Deleted User] · September 2009

My FI would have a man crush on your FI.
