Bdc Vent
I'm so sick of the bride bashing going on right now on Boston.com. At the moment, the bride bash du jour is the "purpose of the bridal party" Who really treats their friends like the brides these people are describing??!! I thought the purpose of the boston.com celebrations was to "celebrate" and to have a forum voicing ideas and questions. So many people post such crazy things that are neither constructive nor believable. Not all ladies getting married are self-centered bitches. Why the hate? Sorry for the vent. But I'm losing my patience.

Andrea,
I couldn't agree more. I've pulled back from boston.com because of all the negativity (and downright witchiness!) I really just respond to the questions about vendors and try to stay away from the etiquette ones. Just reading the responses to some of the questions can make me mad or upset so I've even stopped that.
Yeah, me too ladies. You won't see me (TamCat) on those boards again. I sometimes read them to get ideas, but it's getting harder to filter out the useful information. I prefer talking with you all here a lot more. ;-)
Do you notice though, it's always the same few people with these horror stories of ungrateful, terrible friends/family/nieces, etc. Makes me wonder more than a little.
I seriously take everything with a grain of salt... these women talking about how perfect, giving, and selfless they are- well, I'm willing to bet they talk a bigger game on an anonymous message board than they actually play. Or if they are as "perfect" as they make themselves out to be, no wonder it seems like no one likes them! They're probably the kind of women who lord their "superior" morals and ethics over every one, and their friends and family are so sick of it they have nowhere to talk but online :)
Hope that makes you all feel a wee bit better! If the sucky people drive all the good ones away, the new brides will be lost!
I hate that "bridezilla" is a common term that people are throwing around. I wish that show never aired because it gives all brides a bad name.
I have to admit that even some of the questions are getting to me, like the one on their now about wife having to sit at a different table than her husband (suck it up!), or the one about the after party the B & G don't want to attend (don't go if you don't want to). What would these people do without message boards and anonymous people to give them advice?
The expectation that couples are supposed to cater to every persons wishes, feelings, religions, diets, etc. and not offend any body just upsets me. Where else in life is there this much etiquette and this many rules? When does anyone have the chance to offend so many people at one time? People wonder why weddings are stressful and bride's get cranky.
You know what's annoying.. is that when you try to post some advice or a story or whatever, others misconstrue (god I spelled that totally wrong)what you are trying to say. People come on there to get advice and help and like you all mentioned, people just get bashed. I notice it on all the message boards on BDC.
