Can I just vent for a minute?
This girl I knew growing up just got engaged, and was blathering on FB about how he's her "prince charming" and proposed in front of a building that looked like a castle. Now, she's a nice girl, but why does a 29-year-old feel that it is necessary to be a pretty, pretty princess? This isn't the first time I've known someone like this. Another girl (a relative) refers to herself as a "fairy tale princess."
I can't explain why, but it makes me stabby. I think it's a feminist thing - like, "oh, hey, I'm sure that you'll totally be paid equivalent to your male colleague when you tell your boss you are a 'pretty, pretty princess.'"
I realize I'm in a huff over nothing here, but ugh.

I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
my little sister was like this.
she was proposed to in front of cinderella's castle at disney.
and she was pissed that my parents *only* gave her a 17k budget for her wedding, because it wasn't the wedding she wanted and thought she should also get married at disney.
she does not, however, have the mickey mouse ring.
What's the Mickey Mouse ring?
I agree.
Unrelated but my couple FB pet peeve is when a couple write on each others walls all kinds of mush. "I had the best time with you today. I love you so much, blah blah blah". Um you are married and he is in the next freaking room!!! This drives my batty. You don't need to AW your love on social networking to validate to the world you have a good relationship.
That's...hot...
Oh dear
I don't think I need to say a single word in this post.

Nope, just thank your lucky stars.
Agree. Actually, I feel very awkward interacting with my SO in any way on FB, beyond tagging each other in pictures and such. We're both in a couple of political/social Facebook groups and I always feel weird participating in a thread he's involved in. I'm certainly not posting I love you's all over his wall. Barf.
I gotta say "Amen" to this one! I know a couple like this. They are sitting in the living room together, both logged onto FB, posting to each other. How freakin' ridiculous!!!
I know a couple that does the same thing! They are constantly posting ridiculousy mushy things on each other's walls and she constantly refers to him as her "prince charming".
It's not my business but it is not what I want to see on my newsfeed lol
I am friends with a very dysfunctional couple on FB. Like, pregnancy to fix things dysfunctional. They got into a huge fight and almost split up, so they decided to make sure they tell each other everyday a reason why they are in love. They do it on FB. EVERY. DAY. One time-she told him she loved his "talented hands".
Gwah!
I don't see a lot of mushy crap in my newsfeed but one friend had a lot of passive agressive nonsense when she was breaking up with her ex for the billionth time.
My H wouldn't even wish me Happy Birthday on my FB wall. I didn't care but I share a bday with a friend and I saw he posted soon after midnight so I said "What I don't count?" and he said "You were in the next room, why would I write on your wall?"
Ok so I know I'm just a lurker but I HAD to put in my two cents...
My coworker/friend (first) and her husband went out of town last weekend and on Monday told me and the other girls in the office how horrible the trip was. Her husband got drunk and obnoxious the very first day there. She even went out to dinner alone on Saturday night. Sounds like a fun trip right?
Then yesterday she posts on his FB wall how GREAT the weekend was and how much she LOVESSS him for giving her such a great weekend.
WTF?
I totally agree, the words princess, fairytale, and bling were not allowed during my wedding planning. I think those people should instantly be on Bridezillas.
The one time I wrote on Mr M's wall for our anniversary I said I was so glad he was my family (and other mushy stuff). Which made me all cringy/flottery because I just don't do that stuff. His MOM replied like I was talking to her. He was so embarrassed he asked me if it was okay if he took it off. Never again. People can just assume we don't really like each other.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
