BYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (omg she like totally spelled that wrong wut an idiot!!!)
Says the internet princess that went crying to big sis to come defend her from the mean girls on the wedding boards. Sad, mildly entertaining, but sad none the less.
That was the joke Knot-zis, but I guess it went over your heads. Easy to do when they are so far up your asses. I've got a BA in English over here.

and clearly, you have no concept of social appropriateness.
Do you really think that religious bigotry will ever go over well? Alluding to an historical massacre is always classy.
Mad you didn't think of it first?? Don't equate clever wordplay with religious bigotry. Pretty sure social appropriateness, and etiquette in general, which is what the posters on this board say they are promoting, is much more critical of name calling (troll, princess, snowflake, knit-picky anal retentive bitch) than of slightly un-PC jokes. Lighten up ladies, or those permanent frown lines are going to ruin your wedding photos.
SO MUCH THIS! When I told my sister that I wasn't comfortable with the uniform for her wedding, due to cost (5x more than what by budget was, not that I was asked) as well as not being comfortable wearing parts of the uniform, I was told that "it is her day" that I should "do what she wants" and "the pictures will look awesome" it spoke volumes about what was important to her - Pinterest worthy photos, not having me stand up with her.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by uniforms? I've heard of dresses and outfits, but a uniform is taking me back to my choir days with those awful bow ties and cummerbunds (for the girls!)
That really sucks she would do that. I can't imagine not allowing my brother stand up for me over an outfit.

I am "newish" as you say because I don't have all day to sit around being an unpaid message board policeman. I stumbled upon this board because of my knot newsletter. I replied not looking for "wisdom" or to be schooled on the traditions of Victorian bridesmaids, but rather to defend this girl who was bullied into apologizing to her bridesmaid for what I perceive as her friend's faux pas (she should have asked about the shoes first before buying them). I have been utterly put off, however, by the extremely aggressive response to my innocuous comment. And I will let the decision of whether I am "wrong" rest on my own adult shoulders, not those of a bunch of faceless internet trolls who I am grateful will not be in attendance at my stunning, selfish, spoiled brat wedding. Shout out to my incredible bridesmaids who accept my slightly OCD nature and love me regardless. You guys are the most fabulous props a girl could ask for
For the record, I am @lizhurt sister and bridesmaid, and I am appalled at the cattiness and down right bitchiness that the brides on this forum have displayed in response to her opinions. To call another bride a "troll" because she desires a certain look for HER wedding is a display of rudeness and ignorance, and quite frankly, I'm embarrassed for all of you. I am honored to stand up next to her on the happy occasion of her wedding, and I will gladly wear whatever she wants me do because her wedding is NOT ABOUT ME! If she wants to dress me up according to her taste, go for it! I know that she is a thoughtful and considerate bride who will take all her BMs into consideration when picking our look. And for the record, she does have impeccable taste! I'm getting married in 17 days and she is my MOH. I have consulted her on every decision I've made since Day 1 and I am so grateful to have had her here throughout this whole process! She is far from a bridezilla, and I WOULD KNOW! So before you judge my beautiful sister too harshly, consider that each bride is different, as is each wedding. I hope in the future you will recognize that everyone's opinion is valuable, even if it is different from yours! That's why this is a forum not an advice column.
Nope. Some opinions aren't even worth the time it took to read them.
I just want to share that I have two associates degrees from community college. So...I'm pretty special.
Also, as a man, I have learned to never tell a woman what shoes she should or should not be wearing. I asked @MagicInk once if she should be wearing 6" heels to work in all day and I'm pretty sure she tried to use her mind to blow up my head. I never made that mistake again.

That really sucks she would do that. I can't imagine not allowing my brother stand up for me over an outfit.
- Chucks with white socks
- fancy party dress (short, definitely looks ridiculous with sneakers)
- silver belt
- professional hair style (bride chose style)
- professional make up with same colours used on everyone
- matching manicures
- matching jewelry (the ring thread is making me wonder if she would have asked me not to wear my wedding and e rings)
THE WEDDING WILL BE RUINED IF ANY OF THE BM'S DISPLAY ONE OUNCE OF INDIVIDUALITY!
Alright, I'm gonna be an honest guy. Like super honest. I hope no one hates me.
As a single guy, when I go to weddings, I do hope for single bridesmaids. Or really single any women of an age that is not creepy for me to date. It's not so much the whole "women are emotionally vulnerable" like they say on TV. It's more, a social event with women that isn't a bar, and where I've put some effort into my own look, and it's easier to have a conversation with someone.
But when all the bridesmaids are dressed to look exactly the same...uh...I kind of start mixing them up. And I feel bad about it, I'm a feminist I recognize all women are unique individuals but when you dress 3 women of similar age in the same dress with the same shoes and the same hair and the same make up, dude! I'm gonna get confused!
Take some mercy on us guys and let your girls be a little different from each other. Especially if you have one who is married and one who is not and they already look kind of alike...I do not want to hit on someone else's wife. I'm not ok with that.

I'm so glad you joined us. You would have loved our wedding. All the ladies were in different dresses. Two were married, but it was pretty obvious.
I have a Masters and I still can't spell "boutanieres" --- holy cow I butchered that one.
Case Proven.
Same here! Why is that word so hard?
Blame the French. We stole the word from them, which is why it has 57 letters and we use half of them.
I have to sound it out to get it right, and even then it's a crap shoot.
Census/consensus always throw me. Why does one have a 'c' and the other an 's'??
I DON'T UNDERSTAND!!
I always want to leave off the second m in accommodate and have to check myself.

Oh dear god why did you post that? Now I'm going to have killer clown nightmares. I'm telling you guys clowns are the devil.
Do you want a cookie?

I have a friend with 3 MAs and who is a doctoral student. I tease him sometimes.

I do that too!
It took me longer than I'm proud of to remember how to spell hors d'oeuvres. Damn French.
