    I've been thinking my time on the Knot is coming to a close.  Many of you ladies are now using my most awesome vendors, so I feel that I can pass the torch.

    Maybe I'll stay until I get my dress back and I'll be sure and give reviews of the vendor.

    I'm in the minority as well I suppose.  Everything was great until the end so why let that hour and a half ruin <em>everything </em>for you?  And her behavior is on her, not you.  And if your new family thinks otherwise, well that is on them as well.

    This is extremely sad news!

    I'll be around a few weeks until I get my dress back. Your not getting rid of me that easily.   :)

    I'll just feel kinda silly after that I think.   It's my last wedding related activity.  If anyone wants to stay in touch just let me know, I'm alive and well on Facebook.

    Tiffany nooooo, don't leave me here all aloonnnnneee!

    I am staying through this year, I want to see Anna's wedding (as well as everyone else's--it's just that Anna was here last year when I was planning.)  And Brandi, and Chelsea and Lacey and--oh heck, I want to see them all.

    I just love weddings.  I can't help it.  I enjoy seeing the new ideas and trends and seeing everyone's excitment.  But I will leave soon, I promise.  *sniff*

    I actually followed Mariah's advice and just didn't post on the ruined wedding.  Was it sad, deplorable, etc?  Yes.  To say it ruined your wedding was a little over the top, IMO.  I also don't think you have a lawsuit.  

    I enjoy FFF.  It makes it pass a little quicker.  I like having a theme and having to craft what I have to say that day into the day's theme.  For example on Tuesday, because you have to write a letter, it turns your B&M into "Dear Stupid Driver Who Hit Me Today".  I think if forces you to be creative and I do think less of you if you're going to post an AW on the FFF, B&M-Monday, or SA-Wednesday post.  It makes others feel bad if you're going to be super perky and bragging all over their bad day, weekend, or experience.  If you want to flame in the middle of the week, then start a "Confessions" post.  However, then those will get old....

    I have parking lot duty after school today and I have to say that I hope that I get hit by a student's car.  I think it's a dangerous duty for us to have considering how some of these students and their parents drive.  I'm supposed to take down license plate numbers of people speeding in the parking lot or making an illegal left turn out of the school.  I didn't go to school to become a police man so don't turn me into one.

    Anna - ha - because you for sure don't have anything else to do right now.  :)

    Tiffany - selfishly my first thought was - but you'll miss my wedding!  (tear)  We are not FB friends.

    Stephiehall - don't you dare even think about it!!!!  Besides you know everything about every vendor and you are an expert blogstalker.  ;)

    I will add any Knotties who want to be friends on Facebook!   Just send me a PM or something since I don't know your last names.  Or you can add me if you know mine.

    Tiffany--
    I was thinking the same thing.  I wanted to stick around to see Marissa and Anna and a few others (Lauren and Rene I think).  However, I don't really like The Nest and I'm not sure that The Bump is the place for me yet.  I get creeped out by the siggies about natural birth, breastfeeding, TTC and the ones that have "success after a miscarriage" or something like that. 

  • edited December 2011
    Julie - Haha yeah the Nest is dead and the Bump will never ever be the place for me!!  Even some day when/if we decide to have kids those siggys will still creep me out.

    You know what else creeps me out?  The breastfeeding commercials I hear constantly on the radio.  I mean, really?
  • edited December 2011

    Stephie and Tiffany,

    You know I found when I was planning that it really helped to have knotties on this board that were already married. Sometimes you would prefer to have advice from ladies who have already been through it, and are on the other side!

  • edited December 2011
    I 100% agree with Natalie.  And Tiffany - YGPM. 
  • edited December 2011
    Yep, Tiffany, YGPM from me too :)
  • edited December 2011
    Because I have always thought that FFF is being able to say snarky things without getting flamed for it, I will say this: I'm a dweller and this is something I pray about because it is not healthy. But, dude, I would definitely be dwelling if the last hour and a half of my wedding (including my private dance and exit) were not just "ruined" but completely erased. I would just pray about not dwelling anymore and try to move past it, but I would secretly be dwelling.

    Also, I want to lose a few and tone up so I can look better on my wedding day. Totally an unhealthy motivator, but I'm just being honest. Feeling healthy is just a bonus. A very good bonus, but unfortunately not the sole motivation. That's horrible and I wish it were different... sorry!

    ETA I really hate when I see people that I graduated with on facebook and have teaching jobs already that think "definitely" has an "A" in it.
    Disclaimer: Please excuse the above comment. I'm probably freaking out because there is less than one month to go. Thank you.

    My Flame is this:

    My MOH just got pregnant!!!  I'm happy that there is a baby being brought into this world, I'm happy everyone is healthy. And I'm happy that she is finally getting the baby that she has always wanted....  BUT... Its due right around the time when all of my wedding stuff will be at its peak.  Parties, showers, dress fittings etc.  To compound my feelings,  just a week before she found out, she caught her boyfriend, the baby's daddy, with a personals add on craigs list!  :(
    Now she is happy, and they are all in love again, and excited about the baby

    Do I just ignore the fact that this guy was in putting out personals ads on craigs list?  Also, they haven't been together a year, and they aren't married, and he has 2 other baby's with 2 other women....

    I want to ignore all of the bad stuff, and just be happy for her, for them both!... I really do.  I'm just afraid of the future :(..... Opinions are welcome, but please don't flame me for the way I feel.   I could never be mad or unhappy about a new life in this world. But the circumstances, I can be unhappy about that.

    Okay, with that said... I also want to say... I love FFF!  the board blows up!  all week its ho hum, and then BAM, opinions come out a blazin! :)

    Stephie, I wanna know if you're doing b-pics too... and Brooke, you should TOTALLY do them.  I did last month, and it was SO much fun.  I used Chelsea McGowan, and she was amazing and made me feel totally comfortable, even though the first time I met her was that day!  And the pics turned out so great :)

    Beth, I totally feel ya!  It's very hard to ignore the bad stuff.  One of my friends is having a "thing" with a married man and it's not going well, because surprise surprise he hasn't left his wife.  She wants me to be sympathetic and I try, but I really want to slap her upside the head and tell her she's a dumb@$$ for getting involved with someone married.

    Yay, people want to see my wedding! And fun, I want knottie friends on facebook!

    AmberMarie - Jillian Michaels says that you should use whatever motivation works for you. So if wanting to look good for your wedding is what gets you into the gym, then that's totally valid! You just need to find a new motivation after the wedding. Unfortunately, not much is working for me right now. :)
