FFF

Tiffany618 · July 2010

Sheesh.

Brianna- Couldn't have said it better myself.

Stephie - clear plastic chairs? I haven't seen them yet but I have a mental image that screams tacky. Hopefully they don't look like they do in my imagination.

bobbileighb · July 2010

I have to flame one of the cake places we have (maybe not anymore) a cake tasting with on Monday. She emailed me and asked if I was going to do a grooms cake and I said yes but it was a surprise so she asked if I wanted to send a picture and we could discuss I was very happy. I sent her this picture of what I want.

She emails back and says she has to be honest she doesnt think she can replicate it to the perfection of the picture I said I understood and asked what exactly she thought she couldnt replicate because the groom cake is a must have and if necessary maybe we should just cancel the tasting. She emailed me back saying she could "likely" do something like this cake.

I am not trying to be mean but come on that cake is messy and looks like something someone did at home not someone who owns a bakery and is a well established business. Maybe my expectations are just too high but I dont think I even want to go to the tasting now.

bobbileighb · July 2010

Tiffany- I am pretty sure she is talking about the lucite chairs...

shortgirltx · July 2010

I think if you want everyone to get along and be nice to each other visit weddingbee. No one can say anything rude and you can't be snarky, which is why I can't post anymore.

I would love for WB to have flame free time. They always talk so negatively about the knot but boy they have their heads in the sand.

stephl3055 · July 2010

That chair looks incredibly uncomfortable. Do venues have them now so they can be more neutral looking?

I had padded banquet chairs at my venue that were super comfy. They weren't gorgeous or good looking really, but honestly I didn't care. They're just chairs.

BanannaP · July 2010

I tend to have very modern taste, so I kind of like the lucite chairs. I think it totally depends on the venue, though. Those aren't really appropriate for a traditional ballroom.

Tiffany618 · July 2010

Hmm... I agree, it depends on the venue.

I gotta say though, I don't love it.

BanannaP · July 2010

Aaaaaand, everyone gets called out on the board at some point. It's not personal, really it isn't.

ezzyv · July 2010

I like this lucite chair better:

I would imagine having to get a chair cushion for them though. Satin + plastic= slide onto the floor. It would be hilariously tragic.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: FFF : I was sort of talking about yours. When I first saw you post it, I was thinking to myself what I wrote in FFF. However, I have honestly never seen anyone take the advice they were given about their vows, except you. So that part I don't flame. Most people get all offended when people give them honest feedback on their vows (or anything), which is what makes me mad.

Ok, well as long as you don't put me in that category, we're all good :)

lesalyric · July 2010

bobbi - At least she was honest with you about her abilities. It would have been FAR worse if she had delivered cake two to you on your wedding day.

On a side note - this isn't really a flame or truly directed at anyone specifically, just something that makes me cringe when I see it. It is HIGHLY illegal to sell cakes out of your home in Texas without a completely separate commercial grade kitchen. If you are using a home baker DO NOT post her name/phone number on the boards. It is a $4,000 fine the first time you are caught and message boards and craigslist are some of the health department's favorite ways to catch people.

True I would just think as a professional if it were me I would leave it with not being able to do it I wouldnt be proud to say I could do something like cake number 2. If I was a baker I wouldnt even try if I wasnt capable because I wouldnt be proud to display that work. I am however very thankful she was honest with me!

I feel like I have won today. :-P

I kept replaying in my head someone in satin slipping out of the chair. I would help them but I would have to excuse myself so I could laugh.

If it makes you feel any better Mariah - I knew who you were all along. :)

Buttercup509 · July 2010

Mariah - At least you get a little excitement on your last FFF

stephl3055 · July 2010

I don't understand how someone could not know who you were. You post quite a bit, and Bridget has been on here for a few months now.

On another topic, has anyone ever owned a hedgehog?

Mariah&Steven · July 2010

haha Seriously, Heather!

Look, I'm sorry if I offended anyone or made them feel like I was picking on them. All of my statements were broad except for the one directed at Bridget about not really knowing what "Flame Free Friday" meant. If you can't take what some girls on the internet say with a grain of salt, then I'd hate to see how you handle confrontation in real life. And it's really sad to me that we can't have honest opinions on here without someone's feelings getting hurt.

again, i'm sorry if i stole your FFF start and i'm very sorry you thought i was rude and my comment was uncalled for. to each his own. after understanding the rules, i thought this was a FFF post where you can say anything you want and not get flamed for it. i guess that only applies to some peoples post. some people are <span style="background-color:transparent;cursor:default;">applauded</span> for being straight forward and others are simply called rude for the same thing. hum.

Ok, Bridget. Seriously. You're pissing me off.

exactly my point... take what I said with a grain of salt as well. and even you said that you had not posted in awhile.

cherrrylll · July 2010

Mariah never said she wanted to start FFF today...that was Julie.

Steph-- I've done a lot of research on hedgehogs. I would love one, but my dogs would eat it. I went to the pet store to check one out and it hissed at me like crazy. I was kind of scared of it. Are you looking to get one?

Mariah&Steven · July 2010

I said I hadn't posted in awhile? When did I say that?

bridgetlb · July 2010

i'm sorry i'm pissing you off. i never said you wanted to start the FFF. i was just saying i was sorry that i took that from you since it offended others and that was not what i was meaning to do. i was trying to be nice by saying i was sorry - believe it or not.

MsLaura31 · July 2010

I flame that fact that I can't have the knot up all day to keep up with posts like these. Sometimes I can't check it at all during the day, and then I get home and feel left out.

Maybe I'll keep it open and see what my limits really are around here...

MsLaura31 · July 2010

My dad had a hedgehog when I was a kid. It was honestly the most boring animal ever. Maybe ours was just extra dumb, but all it did was walk the perimeter of the room. All. Day.

My dad finally gave it away to a family member...
