Minnesota-Minneapolis and St. Paul

I'm famous!;)

Why do I like this board? Because you don't post sh!!!t about me online, completely unprovoked! A girl on my Aug. '10 board told me that some chick on the New Jersey board found my bio and randomly posted about my e-pics on her local board. I'll stick with the "Minnesota nice," thank you very much! ;)http://talk.theknot.com/boards/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=62790194&forumid=90

    Some people need to get a life.  And "dry humping" is sooo not what I thought when I saw your e-pics.  It says something about where their minds are that that's the first thought that popped into their heads.I love our board.  You fit in just fine here.  :)

    Wow, ditto pp. That's what kinda sucks about how public these boards are, but oh well! I love your epics btw.
  • edited December 2011
    Odd... the poses/styles in your epics don't seem atypical to me--lots of people here who choose the more artsy-style for their epics have similar shots.  We have loads of pics of us kissing (and--gasp!--lying on the ground) in our epics too.  Maybe the artsy-epic trend isn't as common there?  Or maybe these particular people just don't like the style, which is their right, of course.  But it's surprising to me that they seem to find it so risque.There's a lot of crap out there to make fun of in knot-land, but I wouldn't put your epics in that category :)

    I'm more of a lurker on this board, but when I saw this I had to resond.  Wow is all that I can say. I've heard that NJ laides are more forward, but they are being downright inappropriate.  Being mean to the person that asked where they found your bio.  I'm glad that I'm in the company of the MN nice ladies too!

    That's sad someone actually took the time to post their negative opinions on your photos. They are beautiful pictures!
  • edited December 2011
    That's ridiculous!  Sorry that happened!  I really dig your e-pix.  And I don't think they are at all inappropriate.

    WOW!!! I read throught there post and really cant belive it. I really like your pics! And did not get any impression of a b-pic session at all. I dont think they stand out as bad epics in any way...just goes to show what some people do when they have WAY too much time on their hands. Just strange.

    WOW! I just want to say that I'm really impressed with your posted reply on their board. I don't think I could have been that nice or rational.I suppose that's the chance we all take when posting things online, especially pictures, but for them to make fun of someone they don't even know is really childish, immature, and petty. They've obviously gotten beyond the whole point of these boards, and that's to share ideas, get/give advice, and just be there for others who are in the same position as us. This is supposed to be the best time of our lives, not the opportunity to be mean girls.Way to be better than that.And I love your e-pics! They're beautiful and natural in every way.

    Wow -- they must be really bored. lol  Your e-pics are nowhere near b-pics....not even by a mile!  That conversation would NEVER happen on this board. - thankfully.  Way to keep your positive attitude.  : )

    People must be really bored to scour bios for stuff to rip on! Ditto PPs and good for you for posting on there.

    Yeah wow....good for you to stand up to them, not sure I would have been able to. I am also glad we have the MN nice thing going on, but also refreshing that we can still give our opinion without being mean.

    Wow that's ridiculous! First of all....we have e-pics like that too and that style isn't uncommon at all. I LOVE your pics and think those poses are cute and fun to have for the two of you.And second, they were ripping on Spencer's editing style....which I LOVE! They must not have good taste. Haha, jk everyone has their own opinions on things but why would they need to rip on someone about that? They chose their photographer, you chose yours! They don't need to say anything unless you are asking for an opinion! They are probably just jealous because you are gorgeous!

    Apparently NJ doesn't have a moderator, and if they do, that person doesn't know how to do their job. Pretty sure that is the perfect example of what they are supposed to stop from happening! I'm sensing a liiiiiiiiiiiiiitle bit of jealousy! Your pictures look awesome!
  • edited December 2011
    Wow, I laughed when I read the stuff they posted and laughed even more when I relooked at your e-pics trying to find the dry humping ones. I love your e-pics and someone has way too much time on their hands! you were much nicer than I would have been in your reply to them. Keep up the Minnesota nice!

    It's just too bad that people are so mean and feel they have the right to judge.  It makes me shudder to think these are GROWN women who are writing this!  I teach middle school girls who are more candid than this :)

    The only way the mod would step in is if it's harassment or endangers the privacy of periippa, which it didn't. The job of the mod isn't to make everyone play nice, it's to keep the boards free of vendors, spam, etc. There are actually two mods on that board, I believe.

    Wow. Completely uncalled for. It took me awhile to even figure out which pictures they could have meant because it didn't stick out that way to me at all. I like your response though, way to stick up for yourself and stay classy!

    This just shows that you are a million times more classy than those ladies. This reminds me of the mean girls in middle school, and I feel really sad for them that they never outgrew that. Plus, if they think your kissing pictures are too risque...then they are CLEARLY not getting laid.  ;) (Sorry, couldn't help myself!)

    YIKES! I really can't believe those women. I have never read anything like that on the MPLS boards. It was so mean and I don't think it is funny to make fun of other people. I love your e-pics.

    Haha thanks all! I wouldn't expect the board mod to step in -- I was just momentarily hurt because the post was so mean spirited. And then I realized that there are more LOVERS than HATERS out there!
  • edited December 2011
    Wow, way to keep it classy, New Jersey! (You know that old saying about how Jersey girls aren't trash because trash gets picked up? Yeah.)I think her October 2008 wedding date speaks volumes.I think you handled it well, Patti.

    Wow, you were way too nice to those girls...I'm impressed you were able to take the high road! Some of them were saying such awful things, not only about you but to other August girls who tried to stand up for you. I couldn't believe the immaturity involved in the whole thing...I felt like I was in middle school again when I read it! I think your e-pics are beautiful and don't ever feel bad about what bunch of silly girls decide to gossip about! :)

    Baaahaha I laughed so hard when I read all their posts! Especially when they were talking about the money issue. Good for you for staying nice, I would have been tempted to stoop down to their level. But for fun, I think you and your FI should take a pic actually dry humping, put it in your sig and post on their board. hahaha i LOVE the thought of that :)

    Ok im sorry but I had to post something on there... I think you are absolutely beautiful in your pics and should NOT be uncomfortable snuggling up to your honey :) And I just cant get over the fact that the girl who started it got married over a year ago and has been going on about this for over 3 days now!!! Seriously what do people do during the day??? Ok Im done... I just think that was totally uncalled for and absolutely rediculous!!! I love Minnesotans and proud to be one :)
