"The Facebook Bride"

An old coworker/friend of mine is getting married in about a month. Over the course of her wedding planning process she has included so many gems on her facebook page. Asking people to send addresses for invites (but only if they have had a positive influence on the couple!) and complaining how she still needs to come up with $6000 to pay for everything. I've been itching to include you guys in on all this fun. This is todays little gem,Who is coming to my wedding from out of state? I need to know for the rehearsal dinner! Now at the rehearsal dinner we are asking our guests to pay for their own food.

  • When why the frig does she  need to know how many people? I just never understand why people post their business all over facebook. I didn't post anything until the morning of our wedding.
  • Ugh, she sounds line a gem!

  • How do you not know how many people are going to your own rehearsal dinner?

  • more! more!
  • The day after our wedding, my husband and I each changed our status on Facebook to "Married". That is the ONLY thing on Facebook about our engagement/wedding. I didn't even post any pics...but then I'm not really a Facebook kind of girl anyway.

  • I post more about The Walking Dead and Baseball on FB than my engagement, wedding, and honeymoon combined. 

     Is it October yet?

    ETA: got a little comma happy there. 
    Noooooo kidding! I need to know what happens to <no spoilers>

    I feel your pain OP. My friend will eventually be a Bridezilla from hell. 

    She's completely clueless when it comes to etiquette. "FB is so much easier than having to send individual emails requesting addresses" ummm; have people heard of phones? 
  • Pay for their own food? Wha....

  • A girl on my FB page has been non stop complaining about her PPD. And, of course, asking for addresses, complaining no one is helping with DIY stuff, demanding RSVPs, and over the last week it's been a constant "If you didn't text, call, or respond to the RSVP ON TIME, then you must not care enough about our wedding to be there. You are written as a no. Don't come, you won't have a chair." Some of her friends actually responded that she should reach out to anyone she didn't get an RSVP from in case it was lost in the mail, or cyberspace, or whatever. She said she's too busy and that's not her responsibility.

  • My facebook feed has been pretty quiet about that stuff.  Every once in a while, I get a friend that posts to my wall with a hilarious cake-fail or crazy wedding dress ("Cancel your baker, THIS is your cake!!" or "I hope you haven't picked out your dress before you try this bad-boy on LOL") but other than that I've been trying to keep fairly quiet.  

    An offsite coworker is being a little more vocal on my feed.  Nothing obnoxious like asking for addresses or broadcasting deadlines, but upvoting and sharing pictures depicting happy marriages and whatnot.  It's okay, it's cute.  She posted her proposal and was a little over-share-y in the beginning but she's settled down a bit.  Another friend is doing a DW and I wonder if she's still engaged, she's so freakin' quiet!

    ETF typos.
