I saw this yesterday, but I didn't even know if it's was worth my time. She originally GBCKed in CT, then changed her mind and edited the post. Maybe I will go over there.

MVJP10 · September 2010

Omg, etiquette advice is sooooo eeviiiiilllllll! We need to stop watching wedding shows and just remember it's her daaaaayyyyyyy!

arv266 · September 2010

Why is this still a thread? She did the dramatic farewell and that, as they say, is that...

twilight.rose · September 2010

The thing that really gets me is that she says people are attempting to "control" her wedding. It's not as if anyone is seeking her out and saying "Do X, Do Y!"

She's asking an etiquette question on an etiquette forum, open to the public. I fail to see what she expects other than answers to what she asked. I'm still of the mind that she totally overreacted in the first place...that thread was mild compared to many others regarding cash bars.

why are you being a wet blanket? shoo.

DrPB2b13 · September 2010

I didn't participate in any of the posts, but I did read and laugh my @$$ off all day yesterday. Does this happen a lot around here? Do people often get PO'd because they get the responses they asked for instead of the responses they wanted?

If that's the case, maybe it's time for TK to create the "Tell Me What I Want" board - rules include following your question with the answer you want to hear, so other posters can just copy & paste...

[Deleted User] · September 2010

it happens every so often, but there was a rash yesterday.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · September 2010

Who cares?

kellyjellybelly · September 2010

I like this part the best:

"It wasnt so much my post I didnt like just in general I thought they were all horrible people and I didnt like what I read."

Geez, Daff, stop being a horrible person and all will be right in knot land

Because, apparently, we are all a bunch of shiit-stirring hags.

[Deleted User] · September 2010

i know right? it's just absurd.

kjb, i've been meaning to tell you that your dress is gorgeous. love it.

katiewhompus · September 2010

"Tell me what I want to hear board" I love it!

Why do you all have to be all etiquette wise and followers of the rules. Don't you know that brides are special and it's their day? Who cares about things like manners and stuff. Gosh!

kellyjellybelly · September 2010

Thanks Daff! I'm really annoyed at myself for not thinking to using doublesided tape to keep the sleeves from slipping. Especially since I had it with me in my makeup bag. But other than that, I loved it too!

arv266 · September 2010

I enjoyed the wet blanket line, it reminds me of a line from "The Fantastic Mr. Fox." If you have not seen it I highllllllly recommend it. And I refuse to be shooed. So there! But you are right, I should not have written anything on this, other than to point out the fact that its pointless, unless of course it a slow day and nothing else contraversal is happening.....

I think the OP was either looking for a "A Step By Step Guide on How to Have Guest Pay for their Own Alcohol" or validation on her opinion. I read the inital thread, but I missed her farewell post, which I read was all in caps.

I agree, this was mild. Period. No one attacked her personally, and the advice was solid. I just chalked this one up to bridalitis. That point in the planning where you realize you missed a major step in the planning process, and you basically lose it....

Apparently....but definitely not hags... And I will also agree with the other poster that your dress was wonderful. Was it maggie sottero?

kellyjellybelly · September 2010

Yep - Maggie Sottero - Milena. That may be spelled wrong.

The hag comment was in reference to another nutter from yesterday who changed her post title to say: "No?'s Just a bunch of Hags Sh*t Stirring" when she didn't like the responses she received.

arv266 · September 2010

Gotta loveeee the nutties!!!!! I wonder, are they that twisted IRL, twisted with wedding planning, or is it possible that an entire population were raise in barns with no concept of etiquette?

Your dress is stunning. I have Maggie Sottero's Justine, which also has the cap sleeves. Thanks for the tip on the slipping.

Sadly I think it is this one. I also think people overthink waaaaay too much. All of the posts about "Some people never rsvp'd back! What do I do!" make me wonder how people function in life.

Nebb · September 2010

I personally HATE getting advice that doesnt adhear to my belief that my poor decisions should be justified and supported because its my special day. I think its rude to tell me something other than what I want to hear.

mkrupar · September 2010

Yeah, yesterday was a bunch of crazy over here on E. I don't know, maybe people lost their minds with the holiday weekend and all.

osumegs · September 2010

I'm mainly a lurker, but I loved the craziness yesterday. It goes along with all of the "I'm special posts":

So, I want your opinion. My situation is different from everyone else, so I want to find a way to tactfully do this. I want to invite a ton of people, I'm trying to find a way to write in their invites that a) I would like them to pay for their own dinners b) We will be having a cash bar and c) we only want cash for gifts. I know you guys won't agree with me on this, but how do I do it without offending too many people. And by the way, I am doing it this way because my situation is so super duper special that it completely surpasses the etiquette that the rest of society holds important.

I truly don't get it when people bring the crazy...but it is good for a laugh

ricksang · September 2010

How dare you all give E advice on the E board! I am flabbergasted I tell you!

elisabethb29 · September 2010
