    I wasn't telling you what to do, I was just pointing out that yelling isn't necessary to make a point.

    There are so many times where there are multiple posts on the first page about the same damn topic. If people would take the time to lurk and read what others were saying so much of this could be avoided. If you go pick up a damn book on wedding etiquette you will read many of the same things we are saying. It gets real old real fast answering the same damn questions over and over again when people could get their answers by lurking.

    Telling someone to leave is against the community guidelines Tarnesha.

    @OG then why do so many disagree on what is proper etiquette and what isn't? It's not always black and white and I'm sure you've seen that from these forums.

    It is not the black and white etiquette advice (and all it can ever be to anyone you tell it to, advice and that's it) that we are complaining about. It is the delivery. And @Sally R you are absolutely correct.

    Why would you want someone blowing sunshine and rainbows up your ass when in fact it's a bad idea? We will not validate bad ideas. Like I said before. If people would take the time to lurk and read other posts and learn what the hot topics are then things would not escalate to the heights they do at times. Usually the poster of the bad idea comes back, doesn't like our advice, and starts calling names. That's when things get heated.

    And again Sally R you are absolutely correct. And until WW says there are too many threads about the same topic and our site can not support the data, why do you guys care...stopping answering the question and let someone else do it then.

    I want to make a "that is what she said" joke so bad right now... "lol.lol"

    I applaud your correct use of "than". Good for you girl for pulling that one out. Lost me with the capitalized L though.

    I'm saying this as I'm in my robe waiting for my face mask to dry BTW Smiley winking

    Reading through this thread hurts.

    When I started WW I definitely had the noob attitude "you do you girl." "it's my day, I'll do what I want"

    Until the vets (I think ALL of them) gave me a virtual slap on the face.

    Yes. It is your wedding. No, you cannot ignore your guests comfort and treat them like shit or beg them for money because "I don't drink" "beer smells gross" "I have everything I need, gimme cash!"

    Seriously- the dry wedding argument get me the most heated. I get sobriety. I get it. FH and I don't drink either. He has brain cancer.. and ya know..alcohol affects the brain. So he doesn't drink. And in solidarity with him, I don't either. That doesn't mean we're forcing our decision on our guests. You better believe we'll have booze for them.

    My BM's (for some gross reason) LOVE PBR, so I'm buying them a case of it for the wedding day.

    FH and I both went to college and lived in houses & apartments..so yeah. We have household things. But who couldn't use upgrades!? Even if you are lucky enough to have top of the line EVERYTHING - then DON'T register. Your guests aren't dumb, they'll get the hint and give you cash/checks.

    There's literally so much I could say (but my face mask is almost dry Smiley winking ) and it's all thanks to the vets and lovely users of WW getting rid of shirty ideas for the sake of a decent wedding Smiley winking

    We're not here to sugar coat each others bad ideas.

    Side note - the other day Mom and I were looking into caterers and she suggested her and my grandma could make the food !!! I turned that down with the best sentence WW taught me "No"

    Thankfully Dad was in the room and stuck up for me about NOT self-catering. She also suggested that we eat different food than what the caterer are serving (FH and I have dietary restrictions, so we technically could) but I informed her of a tiered wedding, and turned down that bad idea too.

    No. Is a beautiful sentence for people with bad ideas.

    I have no clue what my point was here - but my face mask is done. I'm going back to my self-pampering day.

    Anyone know of good a good spa in central PA? Smiley winking

    Tarnesha, it seems like you're here to stir the pot and have a go at individual users on this site. You can't call people "a joke", it's against the TOS.

    Tarnesha, I'm not a follower. I've read the thread, and that's my opinion. It appears that you're stirring the pot. Also, some of what you're posting is against community guidelines, that's why it got flagged and removed.
