Oh, Wedding Month Boards.
in Chit Chat
People on the Wedding Month boards should really lurk in the other boards for a while.
This one girl on my Month Board was talking about all the progress she's made and how she just can't wait for the time to pass by (which, I get. I'm anxious for the time to pass too.), and she mentions that she's already asked her entire wedding party. Our wedding month is August 2014.
I told her that she ideally should have asked much, much later down the road in case things happen, as they often do, but obviously it was too late for that now. She then proceeded to tell me that her BMs were mature, and if any of them should bow out, she had plenty of friends to replace them with.
Again, I told her that that would be incredibly rude, and she should NOT do that, and I gave her reasons why not.
Her response: "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. Thanks anyway." Plus some other words.
COOL. Needless to say, I was annoyed.

Re: Oh, Wedding Month Boards.
Mine is the same way. Every once in a while I stop by there, but it hurts my brain, so I leave.
I told her that perhaps she should find some sympathy for her poor grandmother, who was stuck all alone in her home missing a family event, instead of being angry with her. All the other girls came ot the OP's defense. It boggled my mind. How could you possibly defend being angry at someone for having health problems? Seriously?

[QUOTE]I'm still pretty new here, but I fee<strong>l like the wedding month boards are like the friend you go to when you want to be told what you want to hear, </strong>and the international boards are like the friend you go to when you need an honest opinion about whether or not you're being an jerk. I've learned so much lurking on these boards, it scares me to think about how many jerky things I could have done without even realizing.

This is exactly why I say they're like wedding bee.
[QUOTE]Yeah, like, the girls are friendly, but they just need some sense knocked into them. Or at least be willing to hear the advice that others have.

That's true. I think the girls on my board have taken it pretty well when people have given them advice they probably didn't want to hear. It's kinda sad when a grown adult can't take it!

[QUOTE]I love my month board of May 2013. We all have gotten pretty close and after our secret Santa gift exchange, we started a FB group and pretty much just post there now.

<div>This is why the June 2013 board is pretty much dead. The small cluser of us who got along all migrated to a private FB group. However, we do still linger and give out advice (ettiquette based, we try to helpful, not wedding bee-ish) to the newbs who are still somehow popping up. </div>
What did you find so wrong with my post because i surely didnt see anything wrong with what i said and how it was stated?!?

Pretty sure It was the lack of punctuation, and, among other things, the lack of understanding between the difference between "your" and "you're". She wasn't saying there was something wrong with what you said.
