FFF

cookie0803 · February 2013

I would go to that wedding. AND I'd buy her a diaper cake.

IF they had an adult-sized playground at the reception.

The baby themed wedding is definitely MUD... Why does anyone think that is serious?

Maybe you gals need a stickied hall of flame thread for some of the most bizarre or horrific posts. . .being Etiquette Mavens I know you are all too polite to do this ; In all seriousness maybe the FAQ could be updated to include a few more commonly posted questions? I know ppl should use Search function foremost, but just a thought. Happy Friday, Ladies!

Not TK related, but I'd like to flame FI's best friend. He and another friend just moved in down the street from us and they keep showing up unannounced, trashed, and literally almost kick our door in (our door is crap, we're waiting for the landlord to replace it). FI has freaked out at them, but then they don't even remember the next day. It's getting to the point where FI doesn't even want to spend time with them anymore. It's ridiculous.

I agree. I know my family tends to close ranks no matter who did what wrong. Yeah, if dad effed up big time we would be pissed but we would not exclude him. For me in particular, I would let my mom handle her relationship with my dad which is none of my business. No way in hell though would I invite his mistress simply because it would be like pouring salt in my mom's wounds.

I agree with you to a point. However, having been in this situation (dad has now been married to her for 20+ years); I can understand how it's easier to "forgive" the family member vs. the perfect stranger.

Let me add, that I do hold them both responsible; and I battled a lot of inner demons in re: to my wedding.

I would like to vote this FFF into the hall of fame, if such a thing were to ever exist. (Hall of Flame perhaps?) Just because it made my Friday a little easier.

I agree with this. Your dad and coworker are nowhere near the same type of relationship. There is no emotional and biological attachment to a random coworker.. That's not a crazy hard concept to grasp. Clearly you're going to accept your father first, its human nature. I don't blame her. Accepting that daddy cheated on mommy isn't easy.

Damn I'm late. Everyone pretty much had mine covered. The PPD in the invites section who askd the same question last year kinda got my goat. Life insruance girl was funny/stupid too.

I'd like to add this lovely lady to the list:

http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/special-topic-wedding-boards_wedding-woes_should-i-invite-the-homewrecker

And maybe I'm being super judgey, but the posters who ask like 10,000 very specific questions but never comment on anything else. One girl comes to mind - she's started like 100 threads asking odd questions (I've seen at lease 3 about cake) but I never see her comment on anyone else's threads. Kinda grinds my gears.

And the barage of people asking for advice, not liking it and getting all, "You don't know me! I do what I want!".

In Response to Re:FFF:[QUOTE]Hi everyone! I don't normally post here just lurk but this was too crazy not to post lol.

I flame Simply Fated for judging a couple for living together before marriage. The invitation was awful the one where they suggested padding the love birds nest so I flame that too lol Posted by Gustafson28[/QUOTE]

Uhhh. What?

I was making fun of cutesy poems and sayings that people put in invitations.
I never once judged anyone for their living situations.

I wasn't judging them, just commenting that I didnt like cutesy phrases and poems used to make poor etiquette choices look better.

Posted by TXKristan[/QUOTE]
lol yeah! I definitely wasn't making fun of the people who invited you.

I was referring to a popular wishing well poem that starts out something like, "Because we are already living in sin..." It's super awkward because it's the first line and it talks about their sex lives and living situation in terms of sinning. So awkward. And the fact that it rhymes with "rubbish bin" doesn't make it okay to ask guests to bring money for them, you know? (Although "rubbish" does sound classier than "garbage.") But that's not a reflection on the couple, so much as the fact that they probably just didn't know any better. Which is probably just the case with your friends. My friend commented on a wedding invitation she recieved that didn't provide registry info. It doesn't make my friend a sucky person and I didn't <em>judge</em> her for it.

I never, ever tend to check my PMs unless someone notifies me I have a message...so I happen to look today and the "I want to have my wedding at Williamsburg in spite of already being told no on two separate occasions" chick sent me a message saying she's reported me several times for personally attacking her.

And yet...I'm still here!

She seriously needs to get a grip.
