@ashleyosheab, bat shit crazy.

Double post somehow. Sorry!

ashleyosheab · December 2013

Wow I'm being called BSC for introducing myself? I find that to be uncalled for. Thank you to those of you who were nice and introduced themselves to me

Hi @ashleyosheab!

What is your favorite dessert?

You win for hardest question!!! I'm a dessert lover so it's hard to choose! Maybe French macaroons?

1. You don't know her. 2. You don't know anything about her relationship. Only she and her SO can decide when the time is right. How about you stop taking out your own bitter feelings on this girl, especially since she handled your rude and snarky comments so gracefully instead of calling you out like I'm doing now. She was introducing herself on the board, NOT inviting you to attack her. Get over yourselves and get a life.

1. Who are you?
2. What the fuck?

@swazzle I feel sorry for your husband lol.

Coming on here & talking about being "unofficially engaged" and how you're planning but not really planning a wedding in April 2017 will get you labeled BSC.

If you were a lurker for any amount of time, you'd know that. Just facts.

ambausum · December 2013

How do you know she's BSC or not? YOU DON'T KNOW HER. You're all just SO eloquent, aren't you? And by the way, your very first reply calling her "ambitious" was snarky AND passive aggressive.

The girl was introducing herself. As she said, all of your comments were completely uncalled for.

Protip: making fun of people on the internet just makes you look stupid.

Blackbird230 · December 2013

As a girl who came here, had her boyfriend spontaneously propose without a ring and had a discussion with these ladies who helped me talk to my FI and decide yes, we were engaged and therefore telling our friends and family even without a ring, I'm slightly confused/offended. What is your motive behind keeping it secret? An engagement doesn't have to have a ring! Now, FI and I picked out a ring together and he wants to get it all by himself and all secret, but we're still engaged nonetheless.

And YOU don't know any of us. Again, there is no such thing as "pre-engaged" or "unofficially engaged" or "we consider ourselves engaged but we don't tell anyone because we don't have a ring." You're engaged, or you're not. Saying those things are classic characteristics of BSC.

Talking about getting married with your BF and what you might like for your engagement ring or your wedding is totally different than pre-planning and being BSC.

Back the fuck off, Captain Save-a-Newb.

From others responses it seems you are the only one who thinks that way. Regardless, it doesn't give you license to be rude and call me names.

False. Don't be BSC and you won't get labeled as such.

I'm sorry you're offended that's certainly not my intention at all! My boyfriend insists that he has to have the ring before we make the announcement to everyone and start planning. Both our families and friends know that we have picked out a ring and all that though.

KeptInStitches · December 2013

Honestly, I don't think it's appropriate to be planning a wedding or seriously talking about one before you get engaged.

Just so you don't think @BriSox81 is alone in her opinions.

Blackbird230 · December 2013

I suggest @ashleyosheab and @ambausum, if you don't like the ladies here and can't take some tough love, this isn't the place for you. These girls will tell straight up the truth even when you don't want to hear it. @BriSox81 and so many of the other ladies taught me an important lesson and it's exactly what you need to hear.

I can't do gifs with my iPad. Can someone please use the Prince gif? Thanks. From others responses it seems you are the only one who thinks that way. Regardless, it doesn't give you license to be rude and call me names.

You call this tough love? This is a bunch of snarky women ganging up on someone new because they're bored with their own pathetic lives.

Stuck in the box.
Then you're not engaged at all. Or you need to have a sit down with your boyfriend about why it's ok to be engaged without a ring.

GoldenPenguin · December 2013

We asked @Kait the tough questions when she told us about her engagement. She handled them with class and realized that "unofficially engaged" wasn't really a thing, and that she didn't need a RING to be engaged.

Kait did it right. You're BSC. And all of the "loves" on my posts, and none on yours prove that my opinions are, in fact, supported and valid.

Swazzle · December 2013

Ditto what @BriSox81 said. When people come here and tell us they're "engaged to be engaged" and the like, or that they're obsessed with thinking about/planning their wedding but they're NEY, they will be called out for being BSC.

Anyone who gets upset about this, clearly didn't read the thread entitled "NEW? READ THIS FIRST!!!" which can be found here: http://forums.theknot.com/discussion/136101/new-read-this-first#latest

@ambausum - Cool story, bro.

This is the second time you've called us pathetic. I'm starting to get offended.

BAHAHAHA. Just kidding.

If I could gif from my phone, right here would be my last single fuck flying away.

Doesn't mean you need to resort to name calling like a 12 year old. Here I was thinking this was a community of classy ladies when really a bunch of you are just being catty. You're getting this bent out of shape because I'm not adhering to your life choice standards and refuse to let you call me BSC when I've done nothing wrong?

I'm not the least bit bent out of shape. Nor am I acting like a 12-year-old. I'm mature, and can enjoy my current relationship status without having to plan my maybe future wedding and can talk about a possible future engagement without setting a wedding date three years in the future and pretending to be engaged.

I do enjoy my current relationship status, very much in fact. April 2017 is when we would ideally like to have a wedding because we will both be done with school and would have been saving up for about a year. It's not like we've sat down and said "yes April 2017 is definitely when it's happening no matter what"

GoldenPenguin · December 2013

As we often say around here, we can only go by what you've told us. YOU are the one who said "it's ridiculous how much we've thought about our wedding."

ashleyosheab · December 2013

Yeah, we do think of our wedding alot. I never said we were planning our wedding. We also think of having kids in the future alot, and what our house will be like. I never meant to sound like my boyfriend and I were sitting here making a guest list for a wedding that isn't happening for at least nearly 4 years
