So I got bored

And posted an anonymous message to someone who may or may not even use this board (she probably doesn't, but this is fun anyway):

Re: So I got bored

  • Wait. Do you know someone in FL with a honeymoon registry?  Do you actually think they are tacky?

  • Yes and yes.  You don't?

    I feel like you might as well just put a link to paypal for people to make payments to your credit card.

    If people want to give cash, they will give cash and you can use it for your honeymoon.  Honeymoon registries are a round about way to ask for cash.  I'll be more than a little shocked to hear you say you approve.  You're from the south; if you can't represent for proper society, we're doomed.

  • You were invited to a wedding in western FL and they have a honeymoon registry?  It took me a minute to catch on.

  • Nothin' gets past you gals!

    Expee, I've been meaning to ask how horrified you were by the Emmys.

  • I used to think they were stupid. And in a way I can see that side of it. But when we give gifts in my family, we prefer to give them for experiences over things. And that seems to fall in line with that idea, so I am warming to them.
  • They don't really bother me.   I wouldn't do one myself because I know some people consider them tacky, but I don't side eye people who use them.    I don't see them as that different from asking guests to buy you a set of dishes, and it makes some sense as people get married later and don't need toasters.

    The only things that really bug me about weddings are cash bars and the long gaps.  As long as I'm not inconvenienced as a guest, I don't really care. I also couldn't care less whether I receive a TY note.

  • I also think the bride's mother is rude and self-centered in general, that could be impacting my perception.  And it got some fun reactions.

  • Honestly, I don't give an eff what somebody wants for their wedding.  I like being told something, whatever it is, because I have low gift-buying-esteem.

    I also don't care about TY notes.  I recently read a thread where people were offended that they didn't have a note after something like 2 months.  I don't even remember if and when I get TYs.  I quickly read them, squirm at the uncomfortable form language used, and toss it in the trash.

    However, take all of this for what you will.  I got married in Vegas, after two months of engagement, and alerted everybody by...wait for it...evite.  3 years later, and people are still telling us what a kick-a$$ party it was. 

    However, I did send TYs out in less than 2 weeks.  I am choosey with what rules of etiquette I piss on.

  • you did get fun reactions. I cannot believe how personally some took it. Dudes, get over yourselves.
  • I particularly loved the manifesto in favor of them, that ends with "As you might have guessed, I have one."

    I MIGHT have guessed that, yes!
