Tra-la-la you're in happy wedding planning bliss. And like any reasonable person dumping hilarious sums of money into a wedding, you want to make sure you've got your bases covered. So naturally, you do what any good modern bride would do when you have questions and consult some forums. You find The Knot, as it usually rises to the top of your Google search, and that's when it happens. BAM. You just got bitch-slapped by bridezillas.
Let's say, for instance, you're in the early planning stages trying to find out the best way to have a large wedding party within a casual wedding setting:
Great. Now that these woman have established that you're a whore. Let's move on, maybe with a more vanilla topic. You found this cool idea on Pinterest - what do they think?!
Yeesh. OK - Point taken on Pinterest as the root of all evil, designed to lure brides down a path of improper etiquette, wedding train wrecks and certain death. But you could really use some advice about which honeymoon registry to choose. Maybe such a specific, harmless topic will illicit some actually constructive responses.
But don't worry guys, she's trying not to judge. She just thinks you're objectively lazy, entitled and tactless.
ENOUGH, ladies. Can't a gal get some solidarity? Maybe you should say something. Yes, let's suggest they could be more polite:
Woof. Who are these wretched excuses for human beings anyway? Well, based on the description of their community, many of them may not even be engaged yet. That's right, the psychotics planning their wedding with no partner in the picture. And suddenly the world becomes a little clearer. My advice to anyone seeking wedding advice is: It's your wedding, do whatever the Hell you want. And whatever you do, stay away from The Knot forums. Because bitches on The Knot be CRAZY.
YUP. Had a similar experience ... asked one question on there once about how to work a whole bunch of colors into a color scheme but still keep it classy. Not one positive or helpful comment back to me, and they all said I was completely crazy. Happy to say, I am working in a ton of colors, and it will look awesome...no thanks to them!
ReplyDeleteThat's the advice I give people. The best weddings I've ever been to are the ones where the couple just does whatever they want. No one is going to remember shit from it except if they had a good time.
ReplyDeleteWhy did I not see this before my wedding and the planning. Those bitches be crazy on there! I was literally harassed on every post I ever commented on about every other comment I made on any other post. If someone thought my popcorn was stupid they commented about it on a dress post. It was absurd. Like they have nothing better to do in their menial lives than bully people.
