  I'm fucking balls deep in Wedding Party. 

  I'm so in love with the drama.

  I mostly stick to Chit Chat, Etiquette, and Snarky Brides. Wedding Party is a gold mine that was clearly missing from my life for too long.

  Also sometimes there's a real fucking gem on moms and maids.

  OMG, guys, tell me ways to weed out my guests who are just total freeloaders!  If they want to watch the ceremony and then celebrate with me afterwards, they can pay for their own drinks and food!  They're there for US.  It's not about THEM. 
  

  On what board is this thread? I'm on mobile and look up your posting history. .

  Reception ideas.

  How did I just now find this thread? It's making my day.
  
  There's a thread on the Budget board where one newb innocently asked for help on a $3k budget, another started bitching about how she only has a $4-5k budget (waaaaa!) and another is promoting knockoff dresses from China. You guys...I seriously can't with this...

  Wedding Party board is my workday crack.

  
  

  I can't get over the selfishness. Every single day, without fail, is a question about kicking out a bridesmaid? Why? WHYYY?

  I sometimes go on reddit (r/weddingplanning) and it is almost all SS's there. I like going to give advice to brides with legit questions but I mostly like going to see what kind of etiquette nonsense is going on. They all love PPDs, throwing their own bachelorette parties, and kicking bridesmaids out because they're not helping with planning. It's atrocious but also a trainwreck I can't look away from. 

  
  

  Anyway, there's one thread right now about a bride who is having a DW with close family and friends, and also an AHR/full on PPD with everybody else. But, the DW is in Mexico and they don't want to bother with the "difficulty of the marriage license" so they're not even really getting legally married in Mexico - just saying vows and not signing their license. But they're not telling the DW guests that. So the poster thinks it would be a cute idea to have the AHR/PPD actually be a surprise wedding.

  That's a really great way to get oneself stabbed with a cake knife.

  Someone on my month board just proclaimed she's doing a charity donation as favors. I linked to a thread from a few months ago about that, so hopefully she comes to her senses.

  WTF do you need help with?  Are you trying to deliver your BM's baby and need us to walk you through it?

  Those crack me up too. What, did you knock up your bridesmaid and now you don't want your FI to know? Does she plan on getting at the church during tour vows? What on God's Grern Earth do you need "help" with.

  I don't believe it.  I think that was a WW troll that was using a different tactic with us.  I have suspected a number of the recent threads we have been talking about were WW trolls.  It's happened before.
  
  IF that E post is legit- I'm stunned.  We need more of those gals :-)

  Yeah, I would like to believe it's legit. I was pretty stunned when it took such a clam, rational turn. For several posts I was thinking "oh here we go!" And then it was like "oh... that's actually very nice.... huh"

  I went to my wedding MONTH'S board . . . not the same experience. I don't have a lot of patience for adults who think you are "mean" when you tell them things they don't want to hear.

  I got called mean on my wedding month board to, for pointing out that no one is "entitled" to a bachelorette party, and no, you shouldn't plan your own if someone else hasn't offered to plan one for you. 

  (These girls were seriously saying every bride is entitled to a bach party.)

  I have to admit that I'd be horrified if any of you ladies were trolling WW. Please tell me you aren't. That is such a lame thing to do, even though it seems fairly obvious that there are trolls from...somewhere, anyway, doing it here. But I think you're all too mature and above that kind of thing. I hope. But still. When I see those sometimes I worry.

  I went to a WW board once for local makeup artist recommendations. Didn't participate, just lurked. Somehow even that turned into a dramatic mess. I think of WW as Knockturn Alley to TK's Diagon Alley.

  Lol, why?
  
  If people want to troll offsite, meh I don't care.  Even when ppl troll over here it often provides some entertainment.  There's so much stupid out there on teh interwebz, I can see why trolling is appealing to some ;-)

  Ugh, no.  Trolling them is not worth my time.  They get plenty worked up on their own.

  I just googled Code 8.  Google told me it was either a restroom break or a beer explosion.  I'm not sure how I feel about those being lumped together.

  There is a post on the DW board about a couple not wanting their ceremony in Mexico to be their legal ceremony because she refuses to get stuck by foreign needles. So, they are having their civil ceremony before they go but their real wedding in Mexico. Um, don't get married in a foreign country????
