TidyDancer's bridezilla thread part 2

New thread. :)

OP posts:
FatherReboolaConundrum · 25/07/2013 13:54

The other thing that makes this different from the baby naming was that the OP on that thread was very quick to think that there must be something up with the mother, because it was so out of character. As soon as someone suggested it was a wedding planner gone rogue, the OP agreed. Tidy hasn't suggested anything similar, which makes me think this isn't the same kind of situation.

I wonder if anyone else who got a Slave the Date card is being roped in to help out?

WeAreEternal · 25/07/2013 13:54

I just had a thought.

maybe bridezilla got confused between engagement notification cards and save the date cards

That would explain quite a lot.

nauticant · 25/07/2013 13:55

I quite frankly don't understand her desperate need to get Tiny to do this, to the point of alienating her.

Possibly because by this point she is utterly blinkered to anything other than bending circumstances and people to comply to her plans. This doesn't necessarily make her a bad person though.

The most thought-provoking comment on this thread has been this:

I also remember the same things being said about the mother in the naming ceremony thread and it turned out there were underlying reasons for her behaviour that no-one could have guessed

Just because the bridezilla has lost all sense of perspective, it doesn't mean the OP has to go in feet first to provide more drama for our entertainment.

GoodMorningMoon · 25/07/2013 14:09

Eternal That is quite possible. However, it makes you wonder why she would still call them Save the Date cards.

"Oh look, dear, Jane and John are getting married. I should Save the Date, so on their wedding day we can have a moment of silence out of respect."

"Oh look dear, John and Jane are getting married. I'll Save the Date and treat it like a Bank Holiday. "

"Oh look dear, John and Jane are getting married. I'm going to Save the Date as a fond memory of when we got this card."

KoalaFace · 25/07/2013 14:19

GoodMorningMoon that made me do a very unattractive snort!

I got some votes! I am a distant runner up to Sarah who whacked the nail on the head. Grin

WeAreEternal · 25/07/2013 14:25

GoodMorningMoon Maybe she is just a moron who still doesn't know the difference.

pictish · 25/07/2013 14:31

"Oh look dear, John and Jane are getting married. I'm going to Save the Date as a fond memory of when we got this card."

Bwahahahahaaa! Grin

Partyfearsgenerally · 25/07/2013 14:37

My helping would seem a good wheeze if
You were off of your nut on adhesive.
May I offer Sylvanian decor
As an answer, you cheap grabby fecker?

SilverOldie · 25/07/2013 14:47

I would say nothing more than 'I said no and I mean no'.

PS I'd never heard of 'Confetti' I'm in tears of laughter, one stupid bridezilla is having hysterics because her brother and his partner have chosen a date in April 2015 to get married and her wedding is in November 20015 lol. Here's a quote:

"All of a sudden my brother announces that he and his fiancé of about 3 months are getting married in Ireland in April 2015! Just 4 months before our wedding! I am so upset! They have well and truly stole our thunder! They've got more money to spend on a wedding and she is a beautiful petite little Irish girl and I will never compare! Everyone will be comparing us to them and our wedding will now be just another wedding."

What are these people on?

TweedWasSoLastYear · 25/07/2013 14:47

There is another course of action , one so dark , downright discipable and lined with darkness it should only be followed if one has been cast aside from all moral values and is willing to lose this person forever

Heartily agree to help Gluezilla on her chosen day
" Of course Miss Mental , I would love to help to decorate the venue . I can ask Janet and Mary as well if you like as we are all old friends an that"
" It wont take long and I have some bunting and Sylvanian figurines already so shall we say 1pm the day before??"

Then simply do nothing. Go awol on the day and leave her flap and whine and generally have a paddy all on her own , or with stbmil.

FruOla · 25/07/2013 14:52

Dear Gluezillia,

Please stop pestering me with requests to decorate your wedding venue when you have actually told me I am now disinvited. Do you realise how rude you are?

Tidy

georgedawes · 25/07/2013 14:54

Marking my place

Gaviguzzler · 25/07/2013 15:07

Marking my place too. I'm supposed to be working but I'm 'glued' to this thread.....

magimedi · 25/07/2013 15:18

I came on to post exactly what Tweed just said.

ArrowofApollo · 25/07/2013 15:32

I am just go smacked at this thread! and bookmarking

I honestly think this Queenzilla of Bridezillas will NEVER get it. I did like Sarah's and McBalls' responses. But I would keep any replies short.

Anyway here is a haiku
"Save the Date" you asked.
No cake for you, only toil.
"Fuck off" you reply.

SlangWhangering · 25/07/2013 15:40

HERE is the CONFETTI website forum. There are lots of wedding related problems. Shock

I had a read but it felt a bit voyeristic TBH Confused

SlimePrincess · 25/07/2013 15:47

That is deliciously evil, Tweed. I love it.

MissStrawberry · 25/07/2013 15:48

But she did want you to save the date! To decorate the venue rather than be a guest, granted.

LadyHarrietdeSpook · 25/07/2013 16:00

I wanna have a dinner partay and decorate the table with Sylvanians.

Ifcatshadthumbs · 25/07/2013 16:00

Dear Gluezilla

I think we must have been having two different conversations as our perceptions of this are wildly different. You said you are sorry myself and DP can't come, we CAN come (we saved the date after all) but we are not invited. There is a difference between the two.
I genuinely hope you have a lovely day but I'm afraid I would be incredibly resentful doing all that work for your wedding knowing I'm not actually invited to help celebrate. If I'm honest I feel a bit used.

Best wishes
Tidy Dancer

LadyHarrietdeSpook · 25/07/2013 16:00

I'm gonna send out save the date cards.

Some people will find out they're washing up on the night, or babysitting for other couples' children.

GoodtoBetter · 25/07/2013 16:09

Been lurking in ever mounting amazement at Bridezilla's staggering rudeness. Definitely send SarahandFuck's response.

coco87 · 25/07/2013 16:10

Actually thinking about it, I think you should give her a dose of her own medicine. She obviously doesn't understand how she is being rude so perhaps the best way to deal with her is to say that you will come and do the decoration and then just not turn up. When she contacts you in a flap you can just act all dumb and pretend not to understand her and say something along the lines of "seriously, I didn't realise you wanted me to come and decorate your wedding venue, I thought you meant painting the wall of the old lady who lives at no.65". Act really genuinely confused and just keep saying you don't understand why she is so upset etc. I think that would be the only way to get revenge/get the message across.

nauticant · 25/07/2013 16:16

I think that would be fantastically petty and would have an good chance of back-firing.

NinaHeart · 25/07/2013 16:22

I'm going to send out Save the Date cards For my washing up...

"On Tuesday I will be doing my washing up. Please save the Date and be ready to come round and help me. Love Nina"

And I'll try not to be surprised when no-one shows up. Any takers..?
