GoodLuckBear14 · February 2013

A lot to get to this week.

I flame the chick who wanted her guests to wear nametags, the one who wants to register for life insurance and all of the ones advocating for PPD do-overs.

Summer2011Bride · February 2013

I flame everyone in the kid thread the other day who basically shamed those who chose to have adult-only weddings.

misshart00 · February 2013

I'll second the life insurance bride. I really think she didn't understand how life insurance works. I wanted her to come back.

dtbluv · February 2013

Oh my gosh, I feel like there were so many flame-worthy discussions this week, but now I can't remember any.

I flame the girl who isn't inviting her father, but still wanted to accept his money for the wedding. I don't understand how she doesn't understand that that isn't okay.

Also, everyone (and it seems like there were a lot this week) of people with plus one issues, specifically teachmeg for not wanting to invite her BM's boyfriend, not only because they aren't in a "long term" relationship, as they haven't been together a full year, but also because she's super judgey of the their relationship.

Flame for BaysideBride, who made another one of those "knot regs are meeean" posts that are just stupid.

Flame for Kristin, for being an idiot. And Brialex for making one weird post on CC, then getting all crazy, then deleting her post.

That's all I've got for now, but I'm sure there are more.

Gustafson28 · February 2013

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

AddieCake · February 2013

I flame the woman who wants to write a letter to the venue that doesn't do weddings b/c she thinks they just don't understand how important that venue is to her. Special snowflake will get them to change their policy for her!

McRogol · February 2013

I flame the people who post a thread, get everyone responding and asking questions, and then never return. I want to know how it turns out!

What!? Link? Or CN.

dtbluv · February 2013

I also flame JillianNJohn, because her FI sent some of their invites early (which makes no sense, why wouldn't he just do all of them, or none of them?). She also put adults only on the invites but since some people RSVPed with their kids she is considering just letting the kids come. I mostly flame her for not growing a pair and learning the word no.

MrsMack10612 · February 2013

I flame scribe for not getting why it's rude to have a head table and her excuse that her WP wanted to sit with her and NOT their SOs.

[Deleted User] · February 2013

I flame all the posters who think it's ok to separate people from their SOs at the reception because THEY want THEIR special friends to sit with THEM. And then for criticizing those who said it was rude by saying they're insecure in their relationships if they want to sit with their SO. I'm having a head table, but I would never ever in a million years think of doing one without SOs.

daveANDkristen · February 2013

I flame the chick on CC who is holding off on getting married for tax reasons. She and her FI get back a 7k tax return (and they only make 37k a year). They will get back less once they get married, since they both have kids and right now are filing as single parents basically. But she wanted to know why the big bad government is penalizing people for getting married. Dude, really?

LaSak87 · February 2013

I second the flame for the poster that thought it was acceptable to let her father pay for part of the wedding but not invite him. Aaaaand...I'll think of more after I've had my coffee.

lyndausvi · February 2013

I flame sierraberry for not a saying no to her old employer. So now she is working 2 full time jobs and is crying from sleep deprivation. You've worked your 2 weeks, now move on. There was a reason you quit in the first place. Plus if I was your new employer I would wonder if you were right for the job.

I'll also flame her responses to everyone, I'm sorry but being realistic =/= as giving up on your hopes and dreams. I'll also flame the poster who ask if she had to invite SOs to the rehearsal, and then tried to demote her friends' SOs to "guy she randomly sleeps with". Real nice way to treat your friends.

StephJean83 · February 2013

I want to flame aurora on the Faux Pas post for saying that her sister was wrong for the head table not being a BP only head table. And how dare the other BP members bring not husband/wife date to a wedding and they get to sit with their date at the head table and she is stuck by the exit on the opposite side of the room.

McRogol · February 2013

I also flame this poster

http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_invites-paper_interesting-situation

She had a wedding on the beach in mexico (quick becuz she was pregnant) and now on her year anniversary is going for the whole-shebang PPD. I also flam the gal from Pittsburg who is encouraging it!

cookie0803 · February 2013

I'll flame everyone in THIS thread that ignored the whole post to jump on the OP for the "engaged to be engaged" comment. I think it's a stupid expression, too, but it was so far from the point.

I don't get into a lot of debates with people and I probably would have let this go, but the whole thing about not wanting to sit with SOs just really got me.

I'm sure I have more flames, but can't think of any right now.

Sierra524 · February 2013

Mine were already mentioned, but that is okay. The girl who doesnt want to get married for tax reasons (what?!). And Bayside Bride for her "rude post" bc that was just uncalled for. & beachwed10 for her comment in this post: http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/wedding-boards_etiquette_postponing-wedding-after-save-the-dates-have-been-sent

AddieCake · February 2013

I can't remember where it is, but I flame the woman who asked the same question a year ago about a vow renewal, didn't like the replies and is back with it again.

LaSak87 · February 2013

I flame the poster who wanted to invite her co-workers to the reception only by sending them a PDF that is similar to the invitation, but with different info. I also flame the person that told her not to let the "etiquette police" get her down because it's her day and she can do what she wants.

Posted by LaSak87[/QUOTE]

I agree with this one because the poster that said not to let the etiquette police get to her also said as long as you treat everyone properly, do whatever you want. Um, wouldn't that be the point of etiquette?

TKzilla · February 2013

I flame the troll known as BaffledBride721 for trying to pick a fight with the funny groom. Sorry he's too... nice?

I also flame the groom who demanded his bachelor party be a mountain climbing expedition, even though he and his friends have no climbing experience... it's bad enough he's planning his own bachelor party but he's also putting his friends in danger...

<div>I agree with this. I think vendors should be treated well and given a great meal, time to eat it, etc, but I'm sorry, they're being paid and need be professional either way. </div><div>
</div><div>I know it's different, but I'm a nanny, and I do not get a set meal-time, or break, for that matter. Sometimes I get a chance to eat when the kids do, sometimes I don't. I bring my own food, because even though I could eat from their kitchen, I don't know if they'll have anything I want, and it's not their responsibility. On the days that I don't get to eat, or only get a tiny or "crappy" snack, I don't get to be a lazy care provider. You know, because professionals don't do that.</div><div>
