Just out of curiosity, has anybody ever come across TK posts about couples/brides they know? For example, you're reading a detailed post about a particularly memorable breach of etiquette and you think, "I was at that wedding!"

Given the number of people that post/lurk on these boards, it has to have happened at least once, right?

    I haven't seen a post about a wedding I've attended, but I waited several months before posting about a bad wedding just in case the couple were members here.

    I worry about it sometimes. I really wanted to snark on a wedding recently but decided against it. I'm not very anonymous

    It has happened before. People posting about someone that was on the boards. A lot of times it seems MUDdy though. Anyone remember Carson (was that who it was) and her MIL?

    Edit: changed the name because it was the wrong person. Sorry.

    I haven't.  But then again I was one of the last of my group to get married.

    Now there have been people who have known each other here. I remember the FMIL who was complaining about her FDIL.  FDIL was on here and caught on who she was.  That was a fun thread.

    There was another bride who complained that her brother wouldn't take off of work for her wedding.  Her engagement was pretty short.  Come to find out her brother's wife was also on here.  She gave her 2 cents that No it wasn't that the brother wouldn't take off, he was post office employee (I think) and I guess they have to put in vacation time at the first of the year.  Because of the short engagement, the wedding was during a popular time he didn't have a lot of seniority he was not ABLE to take off.   Big difference.     
    That was entertaining watching that go down too.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    It was so weird. DIL was a regular and there were several questions from mil so it went on for a little while. DIL was finally like, "that's me" based on some off board stuff that went down between them.

    The DIL was Carson. Her FMIL was batty, but she later turned out to be crazy herself. I don't know what happened with Carson being crazy, maybe someone else will know about that.

    I keep hoping my cousin and her annoying mother will come across some of my posts about how her RSVP date was too soon, her shower invitation list too large, and her cash bar, registry info in the invitation, and asking a 60 year old woman to be her "honored" personal attendant (i.e. slave) too tacky.  Alas, she has her wedding website on TK, but hasn't bothered to check out the etiquette forums.

    I complain about the PPD I was in, and I always worry/wonder if she's around lurking lol.

    I remember the post with the short-engagement bride and her brother the post office employee.  They actually came back and she said she delayed the wedding so he could ask for the time off next year.

    There are two other couples in Fi's family who either just got married, or are getting married shortly after us.  I've purposely been vague when posting snark about them.  One of the brides recently asked me about where I get wedding advice and I told her about these boards, so I hope she comes on here to get good advice.  But I hope she either doesn't figure out who I am, or if she does, at least she won't find anything nasty about herself.  I love the bride, just don't love her attitude about etiquette.

    No, but I originally told my FSIL that she had to join TK with me. Now, I hope she forgot I ever said anything.

    Can you change the details/leave out the month, date, location so we can hear?!

    Nope, haven't snarked on anyone else's wedding on here to do so.

    Two of our good friends recently got engaged and FI and I are in the wedding. I've had a moment or two already where I've wanted to post about their wedding or stuff going on around my shower - but have kept it to myself. I've mentioned this site and know they are using the budgeter - so better to mind my P's and Q's!

    Sometimes I wish my SIL would stumble across one of my "SIL is a Cuntasaurus" posts.  But alas, she's too busy bouncing between being nasty and weird.

    Me too. Because someone needs to tell my FSIL how disgustingly rude she is, but I don't want to spark that kind of family drama.
