Yeah, that lady that posted here knowing her FSIL Carson posted here.

I'm glad his future wife is right in the head. I feel for her child though.

I'm new to this board (was looking for someone)- My most valued ring in my jewelry box is a plastic heart ring my son got for me for a "present" when he was 5 years old that he bought with his earned money out of one of those quarter machines (tear).

* I know, I think I did the FFF wrong?* because I don't know what it means, I get one of the F's is for flame.

Holy sh!t Cookie.. I've got some sketchy family history and I'm not saying I understand what you've been through but you seem like you have a good head on your shoulders and will make the right choices for your new and future family. There's something to be said for people who over come issues and choose not to be a victim. ::hugs::

Good luck and hugs.nbsp; You have a whole legion of people who don't even know you, but can see plain as day that he is in the wrong, and that you don't deserve his bs.Posted by PeledreamsofrainYou have no clue how much that means. I have lived for 23 years feeling like the biggest thorn in the world's side because of the way he has treated me. I know plenty of people had worse. I lived in a nice area where I didn't have to be afraid every day and I knew I would be able to eat every day. I shouldn't complain, but sometimes it's just hard not to. Especially when you just broke your foot yesterday, and ALL you want to do is sit down in front of TK and watch FFF unfold...only to find out your father decided to publiclynbsp;put you on blast the night before.I really appreciate the support, ladies! We don't know each other, but you all have helped me a ton. It was admittedly pretty nice to see people standing up against him, especially when he can't just scream over everyone until he "wins," like a 6yearold. Sorry for the novel of epic proportions that I left in the middle of
the thread. Posted by cookie0803[/QUOTE]

Yeah I was getting the feeling that he's spent most of your life trying to make you feel inferior and like a burden. Everyone can see it's completely untrue though, and that is worth saying.

Also, I've haven't wanted to kick someone in the nads so badly since I was like, 11.

Just a quick weigh-in on the ring drama...

The point about if they spend 4k on the plates but only $200-400 on the rings... makes no sense.
Did you see the engagement ring she had? It was huge and rose gold. She only needed very thin wedding bands, in rose gold, to go around it.
A thicker, expensive band, wouldn't have worked. A platinum, expensive band, wouldn't have worked.
Short of having something custom made and having tiny little D-E color diamonds put in the band as pave, there really isn't a way to get a thin rose gold band for much more than $400. (and that might not even look good. A warmer, lower-grade color diamond looks good with rose gold).

There was very likely no deeper meaning in the wedding band purchase other than finding something that looked nice with the engagement ring.

hoffse · March 2013

I mostly flame the fact that the china has pictures of insects on it. That actually kind of grosses me out. Herend Rothschild's "Bird" pattern also has pictures of insects, and I know at least 4 people who have registered for it. Really? You want to put salad on that plate? As soon as the lettuce starts to disappear it looks like you have bugs in your food.

Cookie. I just want to weigh in my support. He is clearly manipulative and vindictive based on his own words. Good luck to you and your FI!

I'm sorry but this is pretty offensive to anyone who still "has issues" after coming from a crappy childhood background. No one "chooses to be a victim." No disrespect meant to Cookie, since it sounds like you're in a good place now.

So what I don't get is if china girl actually wants to get the most money she can why doesn't she just return the items for cash ( or even if for store credit) and sell the credit on Craigslist? Personally I hate when people register for so much ungodly expensive stuff, especially if they are having a budget affair. For example the wedding I am going to tomorrow had NOTHING on the registry for under $75 and it is a low budget cake and punch reception. One of my SIL's BM actually bragged about purposely registering for expensive china and such at Borsheims and returning it for the cash and tried to get SIL to do the same.

I find this absolutely disgusting. I've heard of a few people over on R&G wanting to do this before. One even came on wanting to know which stores will give her cash for her returns because she didn't even want to mess with store credit. It makes me squirm to think of people deceiving their friends and family like that.

I would absolutely ask our photographer to get some pictures of that barricade, and then frame them on my wall.

I do kind of wish I could have seen his OP.

We'd have been unwrapping single spatulas for days if people got us gifts based on the price of their plate; but we did get our wedding bands at Walmart, so our priorities are screwed anyway.

I believe a lot of brides now a days really hate the "cover your plate" approach for this very reason. I know there have been times where I have been at weddings with older people who very loudly voice the etiquette foul of the coule registering for pricy items, and then only feeding people cookies and punch. </div>

MsYeck · March 2013

I don't make a lot of money so I essentially give everyone except close family something around $25 whether it is a high budget or low budget affair. So while I do not follow the cover your plate rule I do find it offensive that so many people don't have lower $ items on their registry and it alays seems to be the budget affairs that do this. Sorry but if your doing cake and punch it seems totally gift grabby to only register for items $75 and up.

They're not bad people at all its just that my home state is a popular destination wedding place so there are NO LOCALS. I've found ONE girl who lives here everyone else is from some random place im pretty sure our mod is from out of state so its hard to get answers for a lot of my questions. They really are all very nice girls I just wish the board could be more helpful. You guys might find it a little.funny though since everyone is having a destination wedding ahr' s are super popular lol.
