Flameful Confessions

jemmini6 · October 2010

I confess that I am really bad with name/post associations. It's taken me a while to really remember certain people. I also mostly associate people with their siggy or avatar pics, so when they change, it really throws me off (Bren, LOL).

Also, I was unaware that some people were FB friends to begin with so I didn't feel 'left out' until now. LOL, jk.

heyimbren · October 2010

lol Jem, I'm SORRY but I didn't like how big my sig pic felt to me. I might change it back. I find it harder to skim through and find my posts in threads (that's how I know where I left off).

Acro's post reminded me of another confession I have: I don't have a back up plan if I don't get into law school. I can't imagine doing anything else, and I just try to ignore it so I don't have to plan for anything else.

Yes, this!

Although... I'm a total HP snob. If you didn't start reading before the movies started coming out, and if you've never been to at least TWO midnight release parties, I'm sorry, but your fandom is not as good as mine.

....MOSTLY kidding here. ;)

deburnin · October 2010

Flameful confession: I just read through this whole thread. lol

I bought wedding goblets before being engaged.

I make fun of certain library patrons to my BF and friends far too often...

I pretended I was allergic to something a coworker sprayed because I dislike her and wanted to make her feel like an a$$.

Agreed! That's how people were in high school.

I don't care if my wedding is like my friends'. That just means they did something I liked.

And someone made the comment about the "unique" dress. Yeah, all I ever remember from anyone's wedding was that it was long and white.

[QUOTE]Here's a big confession. I HATE the "typical" bride who becomes engaged after 2.5 years of dating,gets her dress at David's Bridal, has a bachlorette party covered in male parts, then gets married on a random Saturday and fly off to Sandals for their honeymoon. UGH. I LOATHE those brides, I see them every freaking day and I hate them. It's not a jealousy thing, just a "how can you be such a sheep" thing. OHH and I also can't stand the stupid Bride and Groom T-Shirts they wear to the airport, NO it does not get you an upgrade, NO I don't know nor care that you are on your honeymoon and NO your Bridezilla attitude gets you no where with me. I was a ticket agent and gate agent before I was an FA....I have seen and heard it all y'all....7 years in this industry and I am surprised I still have a soul. I have only been on the board for a short time but I like y'all so far. I am used to drama and it does not effect me anymore. Nothing you say will break my heart. OK my one BSC thing....We know where we want to get married and have our reception as well as who we want to cater...only because we LOVE LOVE LOVE the food. That's it though...no money has passed hands, no plans drawn up...just ideas tossed between us and our families. Thank's y'all...I feel MUCH better.

Oh you should love me then :) I got engaged after almost 3.5 years, refused to look at dresses at DB (not putting anyone down just not my steeze), also absolutely refused to have ANY male genetalia at my bachelorette party, got married on a Friday and will not be going to sandals for my honeymoon.

oceana919 · October 2010

Flame away, kids.

I confess that I think this thread is full of BSC.

I confess that I have a half carat ring by choice and I think anyone that actually judges that is a snob.

I confess that I think sapphire is an excellent judge of character.

I confess that if I wanted to be FB friends with someone here, I am already.

I confess that I miss the old board dynamic and reg crew, and I'm not one bit ashamed to admit it. I do like some of the newer folks around here, but I miss the way things used to be.

I confess that I'm not one bit bothered by the 100 girls we may have run outta here, because running them out opened up space for some of the good ones.

I confess that I have enough uncontrollable drama in my life right now, that it lends to me having about 1% patience for bullsh*t and BSC on this board. Sorry.

I confess that I get supremely annoyed when I catch attitude in a thread. I know, it's the internez and it really doesn't amount to jack in the long run of life, but if actually take 10 minutes out of my day to post a thought-out (perhaps blunt) response to your typically BSC question, the minute I get a bitchy/whiney/snotty response back, it's game on.

I confess that some of the girls that I have met through this board, I consider them some of my closest friends. Even though I've only seen two of them face to face.

I confess that one of those "non-F2F" girls (you know who you are)...I honestly don't know what I'd do without her. Crazy, considering we've never physically met, but she's honestly helped me get through the last few months in one piece.

I confess that I have no qualms about living vicariously through Mut, Sapph and Acro for the next 2-3 years. Hope you girls like onesies.

I confess that, while I'm so thrilled my sis got married and I couldn't be more happy for her, I'm kind of relieved that I can actually talk to her about my wedding now without the fear that I'm somehow taking away from her happy time/wedding or taking any attention off her. I don't want attention - I just want to be able to share the happiness.

I confess that shopping trips with ricky and ana make my month.

I confess that I don't know how I'm going to get through my wedding without my grandma. The thought literally fills me with dread.

I confess that I'm half tempted to fly Kat to SoFLa so she can help me do my DIY because I think I may lose my mind in ribbon and die cuts.

zipis1 · October 2010

I confess that I'm pretty worried that some comments on this post are going to attract the type of girls we try so hard to talk down. I also think people are going to point back at this is and say, "See!?" and it's going to be a lot of headdesking.

I confess that I also think thank you cards are kinda dumb. I get their point, I do, but I can say thank you in person and that should be enough. It's all I expect. However, I see their point more for weddings and such where the giftee opens it without the gifter present. But for most situations...kinda a waste of paper.

Ana_2985 · October 2010

I confess I think judging other people over anything money related (dresses, rings, etc) is shitty. That goes both ways. It's just as shitty to judge someone for having too much money as it is to judge someone who doesn't have as much. If someone has a shiit ton of money, why shouldn't they buy a 3 ct. ring or $2000 + dress?

I don't see how any judgement again these things doesn't stem from jealousy.

And spare me the "But they could've donated to charity" argument because a) you don't know that they didn't and b) I'm sure you could've cut your dress/flowers/food/drinks went to the courthouse and donated everything to charity too.

MLekathLEEN · October 2010

SeaTea- The last time we tried this, I think it turned into a "I don't like X because of Y,Z,and AA. I'm glad it turned out pretty well this time around. Your post about adding a picture..of your face made me bust out laughing. FI was pretty confused by it.

I miss the original regs on this board but I do like how the board is now too. It seems a bit more lighthearted than before but I think we do still give the honest and blunt advice that was given before. I think that in many cases before, people would flame for the sake of flaming (myself included). Yea, were probably more open to crazies now but a slim number of those girls before probably didn't need it. There's a big difference between browsing and looking and I think there were some girls who were flamed just for mentioned they browsed through TK.

I think everyone on this board has had a smidge of BSC of this reason; you did not just stumble onto NEY one day from google. You were on TK and you were looking at all sorts of wedding goodness. I get that some people were bridemaids but most were not (again, myself included.)

I want TK FB friends but I'm not the type to just PM people and say BE MY FRANNN! (but feel free to PM me

)

If I were to accidently get KU'ed, I wouldn't be completely upset. That doesn't mean I'm "forgetting" pills and putting holes in condoms but if it were to happen, I wouldn't be against it.

I sort of regret using my aunt's diamond in my e-ring. Her setting was not my style at all but I really wish I would have at least kept it, whether it be for an e-ring or not.

OK what?

I get being yourself and all but you actually hate most brides? Please tell me everything about yourself and your future wedding so I can decide what to think of you with the relevant info.

Hazel_B · October 2010

Okay, that took forever to read through everything...wow!

Acro - Best of luck with the job situation and TTC!

Okay, my confessions:

1. I do judge people with expensive rings, mainly when they didn't like jewelery before being engaged.

2. I do judge people that have expensive dresses. It is one day people!

3. I really judge people who have expensive rings and dresses and then are cheap hosts for their wedding.

4. I judge gifts to the wedding party from the couple. Why do the GMs always get something practical and the BMs get something that fits the wedding day. I hate it!

5. It has been weird to see the dynamic change around here, I do miss the old sometimes but feel the new will be good too.

6. I do feel leftout when I hear of all these connections in real life and via FB. I, like Ekath, am not the type to msg people. So, if you are interested in being FB friends, feel free to PM me.

Wrkn925 · October 2010

Hmmm... I confess that I had a BSC week after BF and I looked at rings. I told my Mom that we had picked one out. She got excited, and we went a little crazy together. I *think* I know where I want to get married, and we went and looked at it. It's a B&B where my Grandparents went on their honeymoon 62 years ago. My grandfather passed away in March, so it's my way of having him there. The place has a lot of memories for my family, so it was really nice for us to go see it again. While there, the guy running it offered Mom a quote, unsolicited. I liked the number. No other contact has been made with this venue. But I think we're going to go this fall when they host a murder mystery dinner. PS- Then I came here, and met some wonderful ladies that told me to calm down before I effed up everything.

Hazel_B · October 2010

Oh, as weird as it is. I think about weddings less after being on NEY than prior to starting to post on the board.

This. I am afraid of rejection so I would be much more comfortable if people came to me. I hate putting myself out there.

Can't think of any confessions now, but will put them up if and when TK ever gets fixed.

mzm153 · October 2010

I don't know if that counts, but I have a mixed feeling about having kids at my wedding (I know I want to get married and I'm in love but I'm not engaged and don't plan to be anytime soon). My family are really pressuring me into getting married in Brazil (My parents are from there and I lived there for a while) and over there if you do an all-adult wedding, you'll either be shot or boycotted for a while.

I would only like to have a wedding in Brazil if my grandfather is still alive by them (I hope he will still be by then even though I'm not looking forward to following Brazilian ettiquetes). The ettiquetes do not only involve inviting children, but there are others that I wouldn't like following, such as having guests not RVSPing, showing up with uninvited people, and being considerably late for the Wedding.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate my heritage, and I love the way Brazilians party (music, food, spirit, etc) but this thing of the guest being always right really drives me nuts. I know that its not gonna happen anytime soon but tons of times my family asks me if I'm gonna get married in Brazil and I always have to come up with excuses. My aunt refuses to leave Brazil no matter what, but as much as I love my aunt (also Godmother) if she doesn't wanna leave Brazil for my wedding that's gonna be just too bad.

I expect to be judged from what I just said, but I have to let it out somehow. Well go ahead and judge me.

I agree. I had a bit of a BSC phase where I looked at stuff (to any lurking newbs--looked with my eyes only--no contact, pricing, etc!) and watched WE TV. But then I got bored with it.

I have a notoriously short attention span.

As PP's have said..How did you end up on The Knot if you weren't looking around a bit (unless you were involved in a wedding, ie MOH.)

deburnin · October 2010

I thought of more.

I almost put a bid in for a pair of Disney groom ears last week because they've vanished from the face of the earth and BF hates the new tuxedo ones. I didn't, but I was very, very close.

I confess that my mom bought me and my sister Disney wedding albums when she was in Disney this past summer. I suppose my mom deserves to be flamed for that though. lol

I want money, but I dislike money. I don't understand the stuff that wealthy people spend their money on and I do tend to judge a little. I think it's a mix of both jealousy and feeling like they're being wasteful.

I confess I dislike large diamonds and gold.

Also, I found out about TK from my friend when she was getting married, but joined to look at the e-rings. I actually found artcarved through their pictures. I also found the forum.

But I also had a BSC week after BF and I looked at rings for the first time.
