looking at the closed discussion

if numerous people in her life told her she was right, then what is she posting for? i don't get it - if you have all the validation you need IRL, then why start the drama all over again with random internet people who clearly don't know anything about you?

Is closing the discussion attempting to do this:

And being foolish enough to think that they get to control the conversation after they left the room?

VarunaTT · January 2014

Can the OP close the discussion? I assumed it was a mod who thought we were getting out of control.

She sure loved the word "numerous".

LOLLLLL. I read the discussion. I just want to tell her, "Oh wait till you have kids." The ivory/white dress will be the least of her problems.

the knot can close the discussion - no mods anymore.

Proof that beebees have no age limit

Whoever closed it, I hope they banged a gavel when they did so. Case closed!

VarunaTT · January 2014

So, if it was before you talked to "others", then you didn't have a monolithic "they" telling you that you were right?

I'm now firmly seated in the:

camp.

Maybe it''s just me but I didn't think that thread was really going of the rails or anyone was getting too nasty.

I suspect the OP whined to the KGs and asked to have her thread closed because she wasn't getting the validation she was seeking and she didn't have any sound rebuttals to the points a bunch of you were making. . . and you were pretty calm about it, too.

I bet her head explodes if a guest wears something in the no-no colors.

Or, do you think that's going out on the invitations?

I'm really curious now.

VarunaTT · January 2014

I have actually received an invitation that specified to not wear red or white, please.

I was rather shocked, but I wasn't going anyway.

Shocked because this was otherwise out of character for this person, or just shocked in general because someone including an attire request on an invitation?

VarunaTT · January 2014

Actually, both. She had never really seemed like a beebee and I'd never had that happen in an invitation before.

I kinda want to show up to her wedding in a white dress. Maybe even a veil.

HisGirlFriday13 · January 2014

DH and I received a STDate with the instructions to wear "white, ivory, cream, seafoam green, or periwinkle blue" and "khakis for the men, skirts for the ladies."

Had we been planning to attend this wedding -- we weren't -- you can bet your ass I would have shown up in hot pink or bright red or some equally obnoxious, off-theme, colour.

VarunaTT · January 2014

^Wow!

Pandemonia · January 2014

I once made the mistake (on a UK Bridal forum) of suggesting that the bride's intended wording on her invitations which went along the lines of "Nobody is to wear red. I am the only person wearing red on my wedding day. So please don't wear red or you will not gain admittance to the service or reception" might not go down well.

I was not the only viper in the nest to make this suggestion. But since she was another person who'd failed to clutter her head with the difference between "rights" and "reasonability" it ended badly. And with a closed thread. But hey, if 99% of people disagree with you then any fule kno that they are bitches from hell.

I am going to start using this statement. Simple and brilliant.

I would've worn something purple or orange or black or anything other than those colors, really, and if anyone said anything, say, "I'm color blind."
