Ramping Up the 09 gals

Apparently the 09 gals are in a tizzy on 417 because WE are still in the dropdown box but they aren't.

**whine** "and why can't you move 07 to the nest already?"**whine**

Re: Ramping Up the 09 gals

  • I found the October 2009 board (580) and I'm in complete shock. These girls have already bought their dresses (some are already onto their second dress!), and they wonder why they aren't sure if they'll still love it by the wedding? Ka-razy.

    As for the drop-down menu thing, I would be perfectly fine with the knot transferring the 07's over to the nest, which they should have done a long time ago. But I'm not sure if it's a good idea to feed the squirrels over in 580.

    Can I mention again how happy I am that the wedding is over? :)

  • october 09?!?  i did NOT have that much time to plan our wedding at all.  we didn't even have a venue until march (engaged in feb), and i think i bought my dress in may or june?

    get over it girls!!  i am all for having our board move to the nest.  that's where i spend my time anyway.

    and i LOVE that the wedding is over, joce.  the only reminiscing i do is when i look at the pictures to make myself feel better on particularly fat days.
  • Aw, BW, you look so great pregnant, you have nothing to worry about!

    Speaking of our pregnant ladies... I have a suspicion that thunder's a new mommie.

  • Soon, though, right? I hope you are feeling okay.

  • Today's my due date, so by the end of next week.  I'm feeling as well as can be expected at this stage.  I promise I'll do a big AW post once this kid is out.
  • I seriously cannot imagine planning a wedding for more than a year. Being engaged for a while, okay, but actively planning it so far in advance? I planned mine in 10 months and hated pretty much every minute of it.
  • Oh, and this cracked me up:

    XP: Who should spread the word?

    Hi all, We've been engaged for about 9 months now, and I just got an invitation in the mail to my Aunt and Uncle's (Well my "Great" Aunt and Uncle's) 50th wedding anniversary that says "Elizabeth and Guest." I mean, they've met the guy, and I figured even if they didn't know his name, maybe they'd put "Fiance?"

    So, my question is, who should spread the word of the engagement? Should I order some small cards from vista-print saying like "Soon to be mr and mrs" or whatever? I thought I left it up to my parents to spread the word!

    Or, could it all just be an honest mistake from whomever addressed the invitations?
  • Anyone else think we should be spreading some fairy dust around ;)

  • mrs. kay, that same one cracked me up too.  engagement announcement, save the date, wedding invite, baby announcement, blahblahblah

    maybe i should look into the paper business.
  • I just went to their board, and wow some of these girls have bought their dress, and have thought of favors. AND VENDOR deposits have been put down. I was on the knot about a year and a half before my wedding, but I didn't start planning until October 06. I went over to ask why?
  • Wow. Here is what Janice just wrote on the '09 board:

    Your weddings are a little under 2 years away. Why are you planning so early? Some of you have bought your dresses already, and that is just dumb. You could loose a lot of weight or gain, or you might find a better dress.

    ChilllthefuckOUT.

    October 2007 board



    Since when does Janice sign her name "October 2007 board"? I was unaware that Janice was our official spokeswoman.

    I am interested in their responses, however.

  • I don't know... I hate Janice's response to them, but that thread is getting sort of entertaining now.  Much "you're mean, this is a nice board" going on.  I almost miss when we had this kind of entertainment on our own board.
  • while i don't enjoy the fact that janice has taken it upon herself to become the unofficial spokeswoman, i do like the tone she took.

    can someone please post a link?

  • It's forum 580, at the top.

  • Holy crap, that TOTALLY came out of left field.
  • Hey...I'm an Oct 09 bride, and while I realize that most of you are not trying to out right make fun of us, I just thought I would mention something. Sometimes there are things that you don't know about going on. For instance, our wedding was supposed to be Oct. 08, we got engaged in January and I started planning right away, thinking 10 months to plan. A few months later, we got the word that our best man was being shipped to Iraq in May 08 until July 09. Which would have meant him missing our wedding. We decided he meant enough to us to push our wedding back another year. Thus, Oct. 09. I figured why stop in the middle of my planning just bc we are waiting an extra year. Anyway, I just wanted to point out one example to you, so that maybe you can understand that while not all of you had so long to plan, some of us do, and its just the way it is. And I don't think having favors picked out already is going to hurt anything in the long run. JMO.
  • So, I went over to check out the drama and happened upon the post called "To all my October 09 Girls". While I don't see the point of Janice going over to stir up issues, I can't help but laugh at this logic:

    Bottom line is, we have an amazing group of girls on this board. I havent found a bond like ours on any other board besides my local one. These girls are just P*ssy because their day is over and the expected to ride the honeymoon phase through their marraiges. They dont realize marraiges are work. So now they are bored with their spouses and their ordinary lives and are trying to stir up some drama. They'll give it a rest if you ignore the crap out of their posts :o)

    Uh, what?

    Anyway, to momof2: First of all, not everyone over here was 'making fun' or even indirectly making fun of you all. The ones who wanted to stir up drama went to your board. Some of us, myself included, don't really get the early planning thing. I don't care if things came up, if you want to plan early then do it. You don't need to explain yourself here. Personally, if our date changed to a year later for whatever reason, I probably would have put off a lot of the planning. Thats just me. I wouldn't take anything here so personally.
  • Ok ladies I am not meaning to be mean, I just wanted to jump in let you guys know that I am from small town Iowa and we have girls on our board that are planning a wedding for Sept and Oct '09 and having trouble finding photographers. They are already booked that far in advance. I realize that you guys are just having your fun and you aren't trying to hurt anyones feeling but I am sure the girls from the Oct '09 board are coming to your board looking for ideas and not liking finding this posting. I know it's none of my business but one of those girls is just a friend of mine.

    P.S. I am a Dec '09 bride. I haven't planned anything but I've gone shopping and looked into venues and started getting ideas for my wedding. The people at my church tell me that I should look into booking my church and reception because they book up fast and you want to reserve your date. Some people have fun planning weddings and have been looking forward to this all their life. So when we get engaged we automatically start planning.
  • I haven't planned anything but I've gone shopping and looked into venues and started getting ideas for my wedding.

    Umm... last time I checked that was part of PLANNING.  Call me crazy on that one though.

    As for the rest of your post.. All I can say is if your friend got her feelings hurt over coming to another board and finding a post, she may have issues.  After all, we are talking about something a bunch of women online that she doesn't even know.  I honestly could understand booking vendors early on, but some of the girls over there have already ordered favors, invitations, or gotten their engagement pictures done.  That's honestly just stupid.  Relax and freaking enjoy being engaged for a while.
  • I love how Janice signs her post "October 2007 board"

    WTF. Like she speaks for all of us?


    Friggen Janice. Never ceases to entertain.

  • Some people have fun planning weddings and have been looking forward to this all their life. So when we get engaged we automatically start planning.

    is this her attempt at an insult? 
  • I'd like an October 07 Nest Board too... but you don't see me whining to TPTB... or other date boards.

    By the time June '09 rolls around, the board in question will be so over-saturated with planning, the drama will really be kicking in. We should probably visit them then.

    And yes, site visits are part of planning.
