FFF

chelseamb11 · February 2012

I also flame this week's "I want a redo wedding" poster. Her's really ticked me off because she said they JOP'd it because she was sick of waiting for graduation or something like that.

musicalsunlight · February 2012

I'm sad I was so late to that shiitty dad thread because now I'm all fired up like Fish but have nothing new to say.

MyUserName1 · February 2012

I said I'd invite him as well in the "theif" thread. Because I genuinely would do exactly what I posted in my thread. At my first wedding, my drug addict cousin who had been in and out of jail and stole from his parents was there and on his best behaviour.

MattsPenguin · February 2012

Sorry Habs! One more though,

Cfas, I do FEA almost every day at my job. Kind of in love with it. And to quote Baz Luhrman (yeah I went there):

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your
life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they
wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year
olds I know still don’t.

I'm 30 and I think about jumping ship every day.

Okay back to flaming . . .

I would say the same thing about my H. I feel like it's hard to be an independent woman sometimes when your H is not. When you've had to fend for yourself and defend yourself for so long, that transfers over, and you shouldn't be thought less of because you aren't a push over. I feel like that happens to me sometimes, that I get judged because I'm not the doting house wife by some of H's friends who have doting housewives who don't seem to stand on their own two feet sometimes.

ETA: I meant "you" as a collective, not directed at you.

Right, that's what you said, and then she said that it WAS just as bad.

Or maybe I am dumb but I didn't see anyone else talking about how it was acceptable to announce you'd found your wedding dress on FB.

I feel like there needs to be Independent Woman by DC up in here right now.

He doesn't even like it when I go grocery shopping alone. And it's lovely that he wants to hang out so much, I just need a little down time occasionally.</div>

I didn't even read the rest of the thread. Planning a wedding is a huge part of your life, I don't see the big deal out of posting about a few highlights (dress finding for example) as long as it doesn't directly pertain to guest lists/invitations/RSVPs.

[Deleted User] · February 2012

I'm dependent on H in some ways, not in others. If we split right now, I'd be perfectly fine on my own financially, physically, whatever. It would suck, but I could do it. But at the same time, the longer we're together, the more he helps me through my shiit so not having him around blows.

Most of my book stuff though, I prefer to do solo. I'm fine heading off to an event and working it by myself, although I do like for someone else to drive me. I hate driving with a passion. I'm kind of bummed H won't be here next weekend to drive me to an event since I have no effing clue how to get there.

I can definitely be independent of H. hell I spent the last year doing it. It's great to hang out, but sometimes you need your space.

Ditto. He's hott.

I go to a meeting and y'all get 4-5 pages on me. Still catching up, sorry if we've moved on from LOTR.

Habs2Hart · February 2012

Ya, I mean, my H is independent, he's just more dependent on me than I am on him I think and I know that bothers him to a point, or scares him, but I grew up with a single mom who owned her own business and raised three kids. I learned from her. I learned if I wanted something, I work for it. So it's hard to think that one day, if I SAHM even temporarily, that I may be dependent on someone else. I don't know if I'm okay with that.

baystateapple · February 2012

Eagles, it was covered in diamonds and roses. Only the best for my battle wedding.

Musu - You're doing it wrong.

I flame the posters who jumped on Chumlee when she asked what a wishing well was and STILL told them it wasn't for money!

And I non-flame Eagles for coming to Chumlee's rescue!

Yeah. So are the people talking LOTR though. DONT TELL ME HOW TO POST HABS. ;)

Habs2Hart · February 2012

I already flamed them for doing it wrong, or maybe I flamed the career talkers. Okay, I'll flame the LOTR posters too!

I don't care how hot someone is, that sexy goodness is just not allowed in FFF.

specialk84 · February 2012

I'll side with Eagles in the wishing well thread. It seemed like a lot of people were jumping all over Chumlee without even bothering to consider another opinion.

It's not like the non-money wishing well has never been discussed here. I've seen it plenty of times.

Posted by chelseamb11[/QUOTE]

I agree. I think it's silly to expect your friends on FB not to be excited about huge events such as weddings. I get excited about my friends weddings as well and post things like "I can't wait to celebrate so and so's wedding tonight", etc. Is that considered wrong too?

I mean, everyone is entitled to their opinions on that and I do think it can be taken to extremes. There was someone on my newsfeed who posted a picture countdown to their wedding for an entire month. That's too much.

specialk84 · February 2012

I posted that I was engaged, had purchased a dress and was married. That's it.

Habs2Hart · February 2012

New flame - I flame wrdgirl for being stupid and posting everything that just goes against etiquette just to spite us. Also, saying that nobody here would agree, but we won't be part of any weddings. WTF? I don't get it.

Habs2Hart · February 2012

And MK - Your sexy goodness is allowed anywhere.

Birdie1483 · February 2012

I posted some WR updates on facebook, but anyone who looked at my profile could see I was engaged. Saying I was excited to marry my husband isn't that big of a deal IMO. If someone is going to get butthurt that they weren't invited to my wedding, even though they haven't talked to me in 5 years, that's their own problem.
