Not a traditional bride

jennylove810 · June 2010

Well, this was a great read.

tidetravel · June 2010

This was her reply to the first post in R&G:

Wow, thanks for the awful advise. It's obvious that YOU yourself have never been to a wedding before and seen that little insert in the invitiaion that so politely points out where the couple is regsiterd. Also, it is obvious that as a bride you have yet be asked that question, "where are you registered"

It is not tacky to ask for money from those who want to give it. We are not requiring gifts of any kind, but there are those who do want to give something and my fiance and I would just rather not recieve something we already have.

Hmmm. Interesting blog you have there, OP. And a great FB pic. You should joint Fishy at the bar.

SarahPLiz · June 2010

Lovely, Tide. I love how she is polling all the boards with different versions of the same question. However, this post is just weird. If non-traditional = tacky and rude, then I hope to be the most prim and proper bride ever.

And I'm glad I wore my pearls. I might have to go put them on to clutch.

Her ORIGINAL post said she wanted the cash to help pay for the parties, wedding, and honeymoon. Thank God Tide quoted her before she went back and edited the wording of her original post.

[QUOTE]We got Married and Vegas, just my mom was there as a witness. We are taking a honeymoon in Hawaii and we get back, we are throwing a huge party in 2 states for all our friends and family to celebrate. I had the best wedding and am having the best time planning for the honeymoon, and receptions. We are doing everything extremely non-traditional and I couldn't be happier or mroe excited. So all you nay-sayers out there who say you have to do everything by the book. Remember, this is YOUR wedding, YOUR party. So have fun and do what you want!

Does this mean one part in 2 states at the same time? Like a big shindig on the border of Nevada and Utah? If she wanted to be truly non-traditional, she would have had her party at the Four Corners.

Seriously I was getting confused.

BTW Tide-I'm finally at home and I can look at posts with the signatures and your daughter is adorable.

Awww. Thank you MrsCarter

I have more pics in my bio (linky above the pic), but they're a little old now. I should probably update that at some point.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Not a traditional bride : actually, this part is her edit. The original post, that Tide quoted, said she wanted to know how to ask for cash on teh invitation. So either she is a troll or a liar. Either she is already married or is having a DW. IMO, she's 15 and getting married without her dad's permission, hence only her mother's presence at her elopement. They need cash to put gas in the getaway car.

Scary enough--she is neither. She has a blog that talks very openly about her failed business attemp, Make-up, and her new business attempt, yarn. She also gloats about the fact that she got married and is, in fact, going to Hawaii to "do it right with flowers and a big dress. " So, obviously everybody knows about it because it is front and center news on her blog. It is amazing what people post about themselves on the internet and how many times they use the same user name.

So, she is obviously bucking for attention or a reaction since she isn't selling anything. That was also in her blog.

OP, you are deranged. Lithium can't even help you.

Oh, Jesus. Yarn is probably one of the least profitable markets in the craft world. I work in this industry, I know. Should have stuck with the make up stuff. More women use make up than yarn, fo sho.

SarahPLiz · June 2010

So she is already married but is having a "DW" in Hawaii? I wonder who she is inviting this time for the do-over. How many weddings does she want? Seriously.

SarahPLiz · June 2010

She posted this gem on weddingwire in November:
My Fiance and I just want to get married in Hawaii, just the 2 of us. A simple wedding on the beach followed by a honeymoon in Paradise. After the wedding we are planning on having a big reception for all our friends and family to celebrate. We will even show a video of the wedding and wear our wedding attire so it seems more real. His family is cool with the idea and everyone I talk to seems fine with it also, including my family. Except for my Mother. Everytime I talk to her she is constantly WHINING on why she doesn't get to go, and why I don't love her (I do). Granted I am her only child, but this is MY wedding. Why do I have to go through so much stress for such a simple wedding. I also know, that if we just up and go, I will get nothing but guilt and tears from my mother as soon as I get back.

I have talked about this with my Fiance but to make matters worse, he is adament about no parents at the wedding. Both our mothers are the same and we know, they will try to include themselves in our honeymoon my taging along to every cruise, hike and trip to the beach. So it really seams like the only middle ground is the reception when we get home.

What do I tell my Mom to make her accept and support my wedding decision and just be happy for me?

I guess she gave in and let her mom come to Vegas. I guess FI's mom doesnt get to see any of it. This chick is in another universe, that she is convinced revolves around her.

At least we know the crazy is real now.

missy68 · June 2010

Depends on how much cash she pulls in at this, erm, wedding, Mar.

maratea · June 2010

Very true, Missy. I'm guessing, based on the invitation poem, she'll bring in around $100, so enough to buy 2 skeins of really high end yarn. Sounds like a good start.

Krysti21 · June 2010

So she eloped in Vegas, and is now going to have a DW in Hawaii and then an AHR? Oh. And she's real? Oh. Okay then.

Koolkay83 · June 2010

so non-traditional my ass! having a party after your honeymoon is so backwards!

Piru · June 2010

I guess you could say having three weddings is nontraditional...

J&K10910 · June 2010

Want a cookie?

missy68 · June 2010

I'm not even sure you could call it an elopement, if she lives in Las Vegas. Her blog, which others have pointed out, repeatedly call him her husband, and apparently, she was married sometime before January 20th of this year. At the courthouse, because he was in the Navy and going to MS for 9 months (oh noes, the horror!).

kpwedkk · June 2010

I feel sorry for the groom.

deepcovejackie · June 2010

OP--it's not that you're not a "traditional" bride.

You're: a) not a bride at all if you're already married
b) not a "classy" bride

Have a peachy time.
