Who Are These People?! Update in thread--apparently some MOH is REFUSING to wear cowgirl boots

yogablossom · February 2015

Sometimes when I get bored I like to read the crap that people post on WW. This one made me really scratch my head. Who are the people that post things like this?

Wtf? Where do all these demented people come from?

allispain · February 2015

Oh good lord. The comments. I just can't.

Both the bride and the ex bridesmaid suck; sounds like they're made for each other.

ChemFanatic25 · February 2015

Wow, I really hope someone calls her crazy when she gets pregnant. See how she reacts. I'm more forgiving of "pregnancy antics" because of all the hormones. NOT forgiving of a crazy person who thinks her wedding is the end all be all event of the year -_- lame

ex-BM needs to get herself in line as well. You can't expect your spawn to every event that happens. Nothing wrong with the bride wanting a child-free wedding. The ex-BM should have said no rather than pitching a fit.

falsara · February 2015

Sounds like there's a whole lot of drama and crazy in this that just shouldn't have happened.

yogablossom · February 2015

No kidding--they both sound horrendously asinine!

levioosa · February 2015

I got really turned off when she started harping on the BMs religion. Um, yeah, of course you weren't allowed into the BMs ceremony at the Temple. It's a private event per their religion. And duh, of course a Mormon reception didn't have any alcohol. Get over it.

mikenberger · February 2015

What in the fuck is wrong with those people?

ETA: I went back and read the original thread and I just cannot believe my eyeballs. MY EYEBALLS DECEIVE ME. The entitlement, smugness and overall arrogance of the thread is just awful. I have a friend that had a baby in the last year and I cannot WAIT for the debut of the baby at my wedding! Nobody is going to think that the reception is for the baby. They're still going to know it's my wedding and reception. It's unfathomable to me and how she addresses her friend. "Mormon Girl"

Why have enemies when you can have friends like that? Wow.

I love the accusation that the ex-bm probably "just wanted to show off her baby" at the wedding. Because clearly, we can't have a baby hogging the wedding spotlight.

We are trying to have a kid-free wedding. We don't know many people with kids, and the ones we do know none of them have tiny babies, they are all over three years old. I know that by not inviting kids we are risking that the parents can't or won't come. That's kind of just the risk you take. You can't tell people they can't bring kids and then be upset when the parent doesn't come to the wedding.

However, I also think there are going to be some kids that crash our wedding. Particularly one of our groomsmen has kids (they are 6 and 8 year old girls). He and his wife have tried to push that we use the kids as flower girls. I said no thanks to that and told them that we are having a wedding that is in the evening with a lot of booze, and we don't feel comfortable having kids there. The gm and his wife are pretty wrong-headed on etiquette and also have told us some things we can do to reduce costs including inviting people to the ceremony and not the reception (no) or maybe having the ceremony and reception far apart, so that people will just come to the ceremony and not the reception (no). They have told us we should invite the kids and the gm's mother (who I have never even met) to the ceremony and then the gm's mother can take the kids home. Yeesh. I am not doing that. This is because the kids are "already excited for the wedding!", umh, that's not because of anything I said to them, that's because of you crazies.

I think no matter what I say or do they will bring those kids to the ceremony.

thecastlebride · February 2015

This is crazy! I would be relieved to get out of her bridal party! The way she talks about her is so rude. What kind of friendship is that!? Let me try to make you out to be a horrible person in front of all these random strangers on the internet and immortalize how horrible I am to you. Really!? Just based on the way she wrote this, I don't feel like I could trust any depiction of the BM that she offered.

My godfather is having his first baby in July and I'm ecstatic that her his or her debut will pretty much be at my wedding! Roll out the spotlight! Lol.

That's really tough. I'm having a mainly kid-free wedding aside from those in the bridal party and siblings of the bridal party because I really don't see how I can invite two out of three kids and demand the other one be left home or something and the baby being born in July.

Maybe you can have your fiancé try and talk to him? I know my fiancé's family was trying to bring a ton of children that neither he nor I met and I had to be really firm and put my foot down there. I hope this works out for you!

yogablossom · February 2015

And can we just acknowledge the fact that this bride is calling her friend's baby the "Messiah". I mean...WHAT?! How much of a beast can one person be??

Yeah I don't think you are supposed to break up families when it comes to invites.

Honestly, I've mostly decided to turn a blind eye towards it at this point. I have told them no, and their invite will read "Mr. and Mrs." with no kids named. If they decide to bring their kids to the ceremony no one is going to stop them from doing it. It's a big chapel, literally 250 uninvited guests could saunter in and they would fit.

Definitely not. Lol. I wasn't considering it of course. I wish you luck with them! I can only hope that people will understand how rude it is for them to do that.

How are that many people actually that self-centered? WTF. Why is it suddenly okay to totally disregard someone's budget and comfort because you have the dumb idea that everyone should wear cowboy boots? I couldn't get through the first page before gagging and having to quit.

WTF! And the second comment made my jaw drop. Women should not be calling other women "hoes" for standing up for something that they don't feel comfortable with. That just made my blood boil, and the comment has 15 likes! Who are these people?

yogablossom · February 2015

Right?! I couldn't get over the sense of entitlement from every poster on that page!

It's all "well it's YOUR DAY! You SHOULD make these people look perfect for YOUR DAY! They should be FIRED from your wedding party if they don't wear what you want them to!" *eye roll*

SERIOUSLY?!?! How can you say you love the people standing with you if you are willing to forget that they are people and adults and can make their own choices on what to wear on their FEET!

[Deleted User] · February 2015

"Agreed.
Everyone else will be wearing boots (because they want to) and she will
be in flats or heals. It will look so silly. Wear the boots or
#byefelicia in my opinion."

When was the last time you, as a guest at a wedding, spent any portion of the day thinking about whether or not the bridesmaids accessories matched exactly?

Why do these people care so little about their closest friend's feelings? Cowboy boots WOULD be very unflattering on a lot of women, especially because they cut off at the widest part of the calf and if it's an area someone is insecure about, would make them very uncomfortable! If the bride is paying for the boots than I would say the BM should suck it up, but she's not!

Here's another one. Best response: "So you basically just want the party without the responsibility of hosting?"

I have no words. How do these people make it through each day?

On Page 4:

"Some don't actually want advice; they just want people to agree with their bad ideas. I kind of hope she goes to TK and realizes we're not THAT bitchy."

OMG THE HYPOCRISY!

Picking out shoes for other people stresses me out. Also picking out clothes for other people. I'm really thinking of asking my bridal party to just wear whatever they'd wear to a nice wedding and calling it a day. Seems easiest.

I can barely figure out what I want to wear to my wedding.

I told my MOH (my only person in my "bridal party") to wear whatever she wants. I just asked that it coordinate with the colors, which are either chocolate brown, dark red, burnt orange, or tan. I feel like telling someone else exactly what they should wear, no matter how it makes them feel, is probably one of the more rude things you can do to someone who is supposed to be one of your best friends.
