Done With This Site

Faburaw · May 2011

You know, I am so sick of snarky brides who have nothing better to do than rip people apart for not being like them. Every post I have ever made has garnered maybe 3 or 4 responses that actually have anything to do with what I wrote. The rest are hostile take downs of everything I do, everything I say, every profile pic I have.

I see brides who stalk this site looking for anyone to pounce on for not following the rules or being as monotonous and perfect as them. It's sick and it's pathetic and I know I'll go down as the bad guy, but at least I have better things to do with my time than rip people apart when I don't even know them.

I'm not sorry my physical appearance and my attitude offends you. But I am sorry that your life is so dull that you have to rule the message boards of a wedding website with an iron fist.

Oh FFS. Two in one day?? You people need to get over yourselves. Not everyone on this site is going hold your hand and stroke your behavior. I suggest you read the post by BRITTANY. Find my super long post about newb myth vs, fact. It might enlighten you to some things and encourage you to stick around.

Ahhh this explains the snarky PM I got about "how dare I judge" the OP or some shiznit...

... I'm thinking OP said somewhere that she got mad at her FI mid-proposal and told him she wanted a redo and that it wasn't good enough or something. I just couldn't find the exact post (didn't look too hard, either, though).

ETA: found the posts! And funny, I don't even see a reply from me (unless I'm missing a second thread with the same info)... so I'm REALLY not sure why I got such a snarky PM today.

[QUOTE]He didn't actually propose the first time around. We were in the middle of a fight when he told me he wouldn't be here if he didn't want to marry me. 5 months later I made him re-propose...still not quite on the money...but better than nothing.

[QUOTE]This is the story of the actual proposal: Cable and I were already technically engaged when he officially proposed. We were downtown at Macy's doing our gift registry actually, when he suggested going to Buckingham fountain, which was actually quite a bit of a walk from where we were. We walked the whole way and when we got there, imagine his disappointment when the fountain was off because it was November. I had a feeling he was going to propose so I started walking around the fountain really quickly making inane conversation. We made it around the circumference of the fountain with me jacking my jaws before he butted in. "I actually have an ulterior motive for bringing you here." He got down on bended knee, asked me to marry him, and I screamed... "NO!" Before you make any assumptions however, the rest of the conversation went like this... "I told you I wanted to be dressed up for this! I'm not even wearing make up! Don't you see what I'm wearing? I'm wearing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle T-shirt!!!!" "Come back here, a**hole! Are you gonna marry me or not???" "What does it mean to you?" "Everything." "What's everything?" "The universe." "Yeah, I guess." And that is how we became engaged. Don't let the dialogue fool you, we actually do love each other very much.

ETA (again): Found the thread that I replied in, hence the snarky PM... but she has since-deleted all references to her engagement in said thread, which can be viewed here:

While I'm not familiar with the specific problems you've had on this site, I am sorry that you've had a bad experience. The "regulars" don't always behave well. If you have an iPad, iPhone, iPod, or Mac, you might want to try the knot's wedding 911 app. (I think they meant 411.) I wish you well with your wedding planning.

GoodLuckBear14 · May 2011

Thanks for finding that post Kelly. For the second time in my TK life (which is much longer than GLB's thread count states), I'm saying something for only the second time: Damn, do I feel sorry for OP's FI.

mob2689 · May 2011

I'd like to know what "Technicnally engaged" means.(a ring is just a thing) I guess I'm not Tech. inclined to know. What is an UNofficial proposal then, since it wasn an "official" one ? I'm now so confused . : /

And why even announce you are done with this site, it's not like you would be missed i think. Excpecting appologies?

Another GBCK post? FFS...

OP, when did anyone ridicule your physical appearance? When did anyone tear you apart for being different? What the heck are you talking about?

Compared with the rest of the Internet, TK is pretty tame. My FI is a techie and thinks the site is puppies and rainbows lol. I don't know how you even surf the Internet without being super offended and spontaneously combusting if you truly feel that TK is full of sick meanies who rule the interwebz with an iron fist.

Every poster on here was a newb once. Most of us got flamed at first. But if you can get over the assumption that people here will merely validate your ideas, you will find that people here are helpful and give awesome advice. Even if it's on something you didn't ask about, any info you volunteer is fair game, and usually when people comment on things you don't ask about, there's good reason. As a first-time bride (and it better be only time), I would be committing faux pas all over the place and alienating friends and family if it weren't for these ladies on TK.

Come back and play if you want real, honest, and helpful advice. If not, peace out and I hope you find the validation you're apparently looking for.

mrshellem2012 · May 2011

This sucks but i have seen forums on every site i have been on that has them and there are always people who dont get along, hell even in the real world...
These feelings are something that i have also delt with but i just had to stop and think
1) its a website where i subjected myself to who evers opinion
2) something is always going to offend someone
3) i like this site because it has fun wedding things to do, and some posts are extremely helpful wether i reply to them or knot (HA, get it?!! lol)

Yes, I agree with this. Some people may think that the atmospheres on the month/local boards are more upbeat and positive. Not to bash any ladies. I love all the boards.
