B*tchless Bride

LakeR2014 · February 2014

Has anyone ever read her blog before? I freaking love her and her stories about the wedding industry. After reading so many speshul snowflake questions on here the last few days and then seeing today's post on her blog, I just had to share.

All of them are so Fing true! You're wedding isn't the first, it won't be the last, and if you turn into a b*tch during the process anything you do on your day won't matter either.

Oh my god this woman is my new BFF.

This is hysterical. I am guilty of a few bridezilla moments, but I am trying now to think more of my guests and less of myself.

love it

"63 Days Until I'm Mrs. Whogivesafuck" is plain ol' annoying. "

Hahahahaha! I do really hate that crap, it seems so forced.

This is fantastic! 2 comments:

1) I love the drop dead glare on the model in the picture.

2) I want the "'I'm a bitchless bride" shirt.

I just read this article on her blog. http://www.bitchlessbride.com/blog/2013/2/13/real-wedding-wednesday-how-to-have-an-incredible-wedding-wit.html?currentPage=2#comments

Beautiful wedding. Bride and Groom paid for everything themselves. Seem to follow ettiquite, had some run in with family members, seems pretty fine. Read the comments though! Holy crap. The bride and groom screwed up, they didn't send out thank you notes yet. But now everyone is fighting on a public forum. I feel embarrassed for everyone of those people, seeing as none of them have shame apparently. It was a fascinating read.

@chemfanatic25 I read the whole thing too and could not believe it. Evidently one of the aunts who was not invited showed up anyway and was turned away! Now that takes guts. A lot of comments bashing the B&G but at least one commenter mentioned how incredibly rude it was of that person to show up uninvited. His family sounds like a nightmare.

4. Quit giving us your wedding planning play-by-play on FaceBook. Or worse, THE COUNTDOWN. The how many days to go until the "big day" countdown! Bridey, I know you're excited to get married. But, seeing "63 Days Until I'm Mrs. Whogivesafuck" is plain ol' annoying.

THATS MY FAVORITE. I personally have tried to post as little as possible on social networking. Not only are a majority of my Facebook friends NOT invited, I've totally come to understand that NOBODY CARES as much as I do. Nobody cares if we paid our vendor deposits (which we did today! YAY!) or if we have 1983579187 days till we get married.

That blog just hit it all. Every newly engaged woman should be forced to read it.

Seriously! It also took a whole lot of guts to travel across country to a wedding you obviously were not invited too. I shake my head at the whole situation. I do give kudos for them not having a PPD and saving up money so that they can properly serve their guests. People should really pay attention to that. They wait for more than a year and understood what that meant.

@ Everyone - if you have time or are bored at work, just read through the whole blog. When I need something to pick me up (or a good slap in the face) I just read that. The different wedding photos are gorgeous, but her Tuesday Rants...uh! advice, always have me laughing. I always respected wedding coordinators but after reading her blog posts, I'm just like OMG they all deserve medals!

Wow this is gonna be good!

pinkcow13 · February 2014

Lol this is awesome. And so true. I have a FB friend who posted every detail about her wedding it was freaking annoying. Another friend posted that people started receiving her STD's. WTF cares, geez.

KittyKaty20 · February 2014

I heart BB. Her "Truth Hurts Tuesdays" followed by "Real Wedding Wednesdays" is=slap into reality, followed by the soothing sights of happy brides.

I have lucked out on FB-there are quite a few engaged friends now, & one smarty-pants started a Closed Group (she invited everybody who wanted all the details on a regular basis) so we can share/rant/post without blowing up the newsfeeds of our other FB Friends...especially those who may not be invited.

That's when I lost it. :-D

Dude! My former roommate was seriously the most obnoxious bride with that shit! I'm sure she and her h were great hosts and what not to the people actually invited to their wedding, but she was very "look at me!" Flashing her stupid ring every chance she got. I didn't particularly want to see her dress but she flashed her phone in my face. Constantly talked about her wedding planning and booked venues and stuff. Then I was strong armed into going to her bridal shower even though my friends who were also strong armed into going were not invited to the wedding. Then as if the shower wasn't enough there was a joint shower at bible study for her and the groom where each person was to give the couple a favorite board game. Thankfully I happened to conveniently have class that night and couldn't make it. I think she also did some obnoxious FB posts too, but none that I could particularly remember.

Welp, there goes my night! I can't wait to dive into this.

pinkshorts27 · February 2014

I have 3 somewhat friends getting married (friends in high school so friends on facebook and vaguely keep in touch). The only post I have seen aside from the obligatory "we are engaged" post was a "Any suggestions for hotels at Caribbean" because they were looking to go there for the honeymoon.

I will say that it's probably not in the best taste to bash your MIL in a public post like that. I'd probably keep my mouth shut and tried to have been a little more diplomatic about it. Being featured in a blog like that is probably going to end up being shared amongst your friends and family.

We'll it sounds like MIL tried to control the guest list and they weren't having it. However, I may have read it wrong or misremember but did they invite 80 friends and barely any family? I'm all for the bride and groom controlling their guest list, but there is a fine line.
