Too Much Information: My cousin's wedding website.
There is no real point to this post, just to see if anyone else thinks this is as strange as I do. 
I have a male cousin getting married this summer and his fiance, of course, made a wedding website. . .I think it is a trainwreck of too much information and just peculiar.
I generally think weddings should be classy. . .I understand there are many differing tastes and what not, but I can't believe someone didn't tell her already this section of their site is ridiculous...I've never met the girl and I'm not really close to this particular cousin so I don't know if my advice would be well received if I were to say anything!!
P.S. The grammar and spelling are not the best either.
<Boy's and my story is a long one, and a confusing one. We first met our freshman year of high school. We both went to small schools that played eachother in sports. I was actually dating another guy from his school when I first met him. I was visiting the other guy, and Boy was out back shooting hoops. We saw each other now and then through sports, but it was my Junior year I noticed him on the basketball court. I actually remember turning to my best friend asking who "that guy" was. When we looked at the program and saw it was Boy we couldn't believe it. We became friends Junior year of high school, and got to be better friends up until I went to school. I did not know that Boy had a crush on me until the beginning of my freshman year of college, after I had broken up with my boyfriend (whom I had dated for nearly 4 years.) We were actually deemed ourselves as "seeing" eachother, when I began to date another guy that was at my college. By Christmas break, that relationship had ended, but Boy had started seeing someone new. A month or so later, so did I and I thought that was the end of "us."
Over 2.5 years later, I was at a street dance (a week after I had broken up with the guy I had been dating for 2.5 years) and after I had grabbed some drinks I ran into a few friends. I was chatting with them when Boy walked up. We both were in shock, but talked for a bit. He introduced me to his girlfriend of almost 3 years, and again, I thought that would be it. But, Boy was a tad bit intoxicated and felt the need to tell me over and over how much he had liked me before. He would hide from his girlfriend, and spill his heart. I kept trying to get him to go back to his girlfriend, but he was persistant. He lied to her, and came back to talk to me! Nothing ever went beyond talking, but again, I thought that would be it. But we kept texting for a while, and stopped once again. Then, at some random time in October, I was sitting in class and Boy talked to me on facebook chat, and honestly we haven't gone a day without talking since. At first it was just a great friendship put back together. We would text back and fourth and talk on the phone more and more each day. Boy and his girlfriend at the time were not doing well, and I had a few bad experiences, and we were thankful to have eachother to confide in and comfort eachother. Three weeks later, it was obvious our feelings had grown beyond friendship, and I told him we had to stop talking. The next day, he broke up with his girlfriend, and we have been together ever since!!!!!>
So am I just overly critical?? I'm not trying to be malicious! Do you think I should "help" them out!!?? I guess I just feel bad on their behalf. hahaha.
Re: Too Much Information: My cousin's wedding website.
lol yeah, I think we all have those family members/friends that just make us go "Huh, really?" and shake our heads.
Oh wow...it's like a transcript from a Jerry Springer show!
That said, I wouldn't say anything about it...that can only blow up in your face in the end.
This, exactly. lol Poor girl.
Missing our little turkey.
Estimated Due Date 11/13/12 | Natural Miscarriage 4/17/12
She could've easily said:
Boy and I met in high school and remained friends through college. We were always dating other people, and our paths just never crossed at the right time.
I would've been equally, if not more, critical if that was my family member
Wow, that is definitely a lot of information for a wedding website. But I wouldn't say anything either.
My husband's cousin got married last year, and his mom sent his sister and us the link to her website. It was incredibly similar to your cousin's page, with the added bonus of drunken shots of the bridal party, where they talked about how they often got drunk together, and how this one was a player, and that one was a slut. My sister-in-law and I exchanged many (MANY) snarky emails about it, and just thanked the baby jeebus that we didn't have to go to the wedding.
This... Too many details. I might make a suggestion, "it might sound better if..." but don't flat out tell her it's wrong. She might get upset.
I agree with about....TMI and I wouldn't say anything.
Just use it as a source of a good laugh. My sister's wedding website was a farce and we just let it be. The only one who looked like a complete idiot was my sister.
All this. I wouldn't say anything, she just looks a little dumb, and like you said, you're not exactly close to them.

I agree, she needs a VERY condensed version and get to the point, like PP said, something like "Groom and Bride met in HS and stayed friends until *year* when they became an item".
It does sound like a HS girl gossiping, and too much talk about both of their ex's and in my opinion, would make people *eye-roll* rather than think it's a cute story.
This. TMI and very high school sounding, but.. I'd leave it alone. Maybe she'll figure it out on her own, or maybe not..!
