Surprise, surprise...

The brat with the symmetry fetish from last night deleted. How long did it stay up? The last thing I saw was stina's eminently wise advice that the bride should just pay for the one GM's tux herself.

I guess she wasn't a troll after all. Pity.

ootmother2 · November 2009

it was close to midnight when I left and it was still up

stina93446 · November 2009

It was up until midnight when I went to bed.

Recap?

tidetravel · November 2009

Did she ever answer the question of how to have a symmetrical family portrait w/ 3 kids? Because I never caught that answer.

stina93446 · November 2009

haha, tide, I forgot about that. I said that you should just have another child....and CS was saying that you should just off the least favorite to make 2!

Cliffs notes: -Bride was pissed off that one GM dropped out because he couldn't afford the tux so she called MOH to complain that the sides would be uneven and "if the sides are uneven I will hate my photos for the rest of my life" (direct quote). She doesn't want to ask anyone to step down on her side but the sides must, repeat MUST, be even. -MOH (who is already married) told her that it isn't a big deal and that it was rude to even talk about asking someone to step down over symmetry. -WPB echoes this sentiment. -Bride reveals the following through various tantrums: She is already married, pregnant w/ her third child, they have been married for several years but because they had a courthouse wedding to "get insurance" after she got knocked up with her first kid, it wasn't a wedding so she's getting the wedding that her "mother wants [her] to have." You can guess where things went from there.

Recap: A GM stepped down because he couldn't afford the tux, and the chick started freaking out because the sides would be uneven, and she couldn't demote a bridesmaid because having three bridesmaids would look weird. Her MOH, who had an uneven wedding party, told her to chill, and got mad when the bride continued to freak.Oh, bride is preggers, and turns out this is actually all for a vow renewal. And her response to any posters agreeing with MOH was, "Well, that was YOUR wedding, this is MY wedding." Also the standard "paying a lot for pictures" BS.

bablingbrooke · November 2009

Oh, and she also suspects that her MOH is lying about the MOH's husband being deployed to Iraq. She also says the MOH is "stupid" for getting upset with her about the possibility of kicking someone out.

stina93446 · November 2009

And we all put a needle in her "but I'm pregnant so I'm cranky" bubble.

tidetravel · November 2009

MC - OP was complaining because her MOH was upset over something stupid. Apparently, GM had to drop out because he couldn't afford the tux. This made an uneven wedding party, which she CANNOT STAND. She texted her MOH complaining that her pics were going to be RUINED because things weren't symmetrical. MOH had an uneven bridal party, and assured OP that everything would be fine. BUT, apparently, MOH was upset because she felt OP was "attacking" her decision. OP went on to say that if she REALLY wanted to hurt MOH's feelings, she would tell her what she really thinks about MOH's DH, who is deployed in the military, but not really, maybe?She's 7 weeks pregnant, so her "stress" is justified - and she "just wanted her MOH to be there to support her through this crisis." She actually said that since she is paying for the pics, that she deserves to have them be exactly the way that she wants them, and what's the point in paying for the pictures if she's going to hate them and never look at them because they are uneven. THEN it came out that she' already married (got knocked up w/ kid #1 and needed the insurance), and this is her 3rd kid, so she "knows how to deal with the stress of being a MOM, thank you very much." Which is where the question of symmetry in family portraits came in. Yeah.

stina93446 · November 2009

does anyone remember what her user name was? Was it smitley?

aerinpegadrak · November 2009

smitley sounds right. Stage, it looks like that other post is gone too.There's definitely been something in the water lately.

bablingbrooke · November 2009

smitley something. I don't think she was a troll. She's posted a lot on her local about how "I've planned everything but I'm afraid it won't be perfect." Wonderful values she's instilling in her children. Entertaining as heck, though. One like this only comes around once in a blue moon.

tidetravel · November 2009

I'm guessing she won't be around here anymore

I think her local was CO

aerinpegadrak · November 2009

Yeah, but a history of posts doesn't necessarily make her real. We've had a few pretty dedicated and thorough trolls.I don't care how old she theoretically is, she was acting like she was about eight. Her kids must be DARLING.

stina93446 · November 2009

I don't think she was a troll. I think she was just a bad friend who is trying to get a pretty princess day.

mbcdefg · November 2009

What a tool.

duckie1905 · November 2009

darn world series...I missed a good one last night.

voyey · November 2009

i like reading posts like these & laughing the whole time, but i've noticed u ladies calling some "trolls" what qualifies someone as a troll? i'm just curious!

stina93446 · November 2009

A person who brings MUD, or made up drama.

bablingbrooke · November 2009

People who make up fake stories/personae and say outrageous things to stir up sh!t on the boards.

voyey · November 2009

Noted! thanks

banana468 · November 2009

Guys, just remember that the subject matter can be discussed but the person can't be attacked. I don't want to have to ban anyone because this discussion gets over the line.FWIW, I agree that getting stressed about an uneven WP is one of the silliest things that an individual can do.

blackfire5th · November 2009

Gah! She never answered my questions! In the OP, she said "MOH told me it would be okay and that as long as she and the BM were there, everything would be fine, why does she feel the need to stress me out!" I don't get it. It sounds like the MOH didn't say anything to stress the bride out. Oh, and everyone forgot that the reason she didn't want to ask a bm to step down was because she only thinks things look right with 4 bm and how horrible would it look if she had 2 bm on one side and 1 on the other in pictures!!!!!111!1 Of course she complians about this to the MOH who had 3 bm and uneven parties. Yeah, I wouldn't be very happy about someone telling me how horrible my wedding looked in photos (oh, which get this, the OP wasn't even invited to MOH's wedding...)
