TidyDancer's bridezilla thread part 2

[TidyDancer]

New thread. :)

That sounds vaguely threatening, MrsKoala.

Just sayin'. I mean, If we don't get an update soon. Y'know. Accidents happen an' all that.

I've probably missed bits but I'm assuming that she's not had to reduce her wedding from invite all your mates ever to a small family gathering?

I would feel differently about helping out for a wedding I'm not invited to if the invitees were basically parents, siblings and siblings children for instance.

long-winded way of marking place.

Oh no! I go on holiday tomorrow morning!

Come on, bridezilla! We want it updated NOW!

Pudsey, is that you?

Confetti is full of amateur, baby bridezillas...

I give you the monstrosity that is Weddingbee

boards.weddingbee.com/

I inadvertently stumbled across it during a completely unrelated Google search, and was quickly sucked in..... There is a whole board devoted to "Waiting"- ie. women who whip themselves into a frenzy trying to guess when/if their partner is going to propose.

The numerous engagement ring comparison posts are a joy as well. Unless you have the sparkly equivalent of Ayers Rock on your finger, your relationship is doomed

Whoops, I meant

Waffly. No the BTB hasn't reduced a big wedding to a small, family only, wedding. She sent out Save The Date cards for 100 guests, but then the proper invitations only went to 80 guests - so 20 of the STD invitees have found themselves dis-invited, including the OP.

A friend of the OP's, another dis-invited guest, spoke to the BTB who admitted that she didn't know you should only send STD cards to people who will receive a formal invitation in due course.

And she compounded her faux pas by still expecting the OP to help decorate the venue, despite the fact that she's been dis-invited.

Haha I remember Weddingbee. I used to read the main blog (before the boards got started) and it wasn't too bad, there was a wide variety of weddings being covered including tiny basic picnic weddings. It gradually got worse and much more entertaining.

Now if you want a more sensible blunt wedding forum try Hitched (yes I admit I got into them a bit when I got married).

If someone there asks 'Am I being a bridezilla', the answer is generally yes. There's been some corkers. Best one currently is the person asking why they haven't been invited to their friends wedding in a park.

Just had a look at Weddingbee - my lord - there's someone saying she doesn't think her engagement ring is big enough.

Because that's what the commitment is all about, the size of the engagement ring.

AM on phone now but I can't resist carving time out of my schedule tonight to read the wedding bee thread: showing off the side angle of your ring. I know I'm sad. Bridal rubbernecking.

Friends park wedding

There was one forum I went on, don't remember which one, where a woman was asking for advice. Her DP proposed had and even though she did want to marry him, she said no because his proposal wasn't "good enough". She told him to ask again and do it better.

The reason she was posting for advice was because it was now 2 years on and he still hadn't asked again. Can't think why! :D

'had proposed', not 'proposed had'
and
not :D

Why is it I think the OP is being ignored by the B2B and 'punished' with the silent treatment? Just strikes me as the kind of rude, emotionally abusive kind of of response one of the people who i could see doing this would behave! I hope that's not the case OP but her loss if it is.

Um, I think that was on here, Sondosia.

A bit foolish of the B2B if she is trying to punish with silent treatment. After all, it is HER wedding venue that has no decorator. Seems to me she has more to lose in this situation than Tidy does.

2 hours it's taken me to read this whole saga. I just can not believe the cheek of this woman.

Tidy I'm sorry you are going through this. This bride is on a whole different planet if she thinks any of this is acceptable, never mind normal.

Oh was it? I guess bridezillas aren't just on the wedding websites then!

That wedding in the park thread is weird.

Apparently it's been posted on many, many forums so I wonder if it's shown up here (can't be arsed to google, it's Sunday). Someone quoted a reply that I hope came from here though.

"Troll perhaps?

I 'goggled it' too. Here's my favourite response...

Go, but wear the most elaborate dark midnight purple dress you can find, with a Victorian collar, and powder your face to be totally white, and wear crimson lipstick. Hide inside the covered slide on the playground and wait until all the toasts are done. Then, just as they're getting ready to cut the cake, slide down the slide and emerge, shouting,
A-ha-ha-ha-ha!

You did not invite me to your wedding, but never mind; I came anyway. And I bring you a gift.

Before the year is out, you will give birth to a child.

And that child will be a RHINOCEROS!

A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Then disappear in a puff of smoke. (Or, if you can't, just run off as fast as you can.)"

Was it this one you were thinking of, Sondosia?

Wasn't there another not good enough proposal one as well?

It had something to do with wanting it to be on a bridge?

Tidy - you must send Gluezilla an STD for a special dinner party, then go out for the evening. When she contacts you in puzzlement at you not being home, just say, oh, we decided not to invite you..
