I never said the thread couldn't exist. I just said this isn't the place to get advice.

Umm...I think she was referring to the irony of you nit-picking people for getting nit-picky about details. And the fact that you were also being pretentious doesn't hurt the irony argument.

Yeah...I got that. Thanks!

Anyway, I haven't nit picked...only answered the question that was stated. Did u miss that post? Additionally, perhaps I am a bit pretentious. *shrug* Doesn't change the fact that if you look back at some of our wedding thread, these 'ladies' have attacked some of the ideas/customs/traditions/whatever with a nastiness and cruelty that is unrivaled.

So it's different to make fun of people for having wedding receptions at White Castle in the ghetto weddings thread, but if someone came and posted in the D&R forum about wanting to have his/her wedding reception at White Castle you wouldn't nitpick at those details?

You'll want to reread my post for the portion that discussed extremes versus small details. Of course we'd call someone out for asking what the board thought about having a wedding at White Castle. While, I'm not sure that I'd be as nasty as some of the people on here about even something THAT off color, I would definitely discourage it. However, when I read one poster say "Oh we had a dollar dance at my wedding." or "I sent out a registry announcement in my invitations." and the next post says something to the tune of "That is the MOST tacky thing I have ever heard of someone doing. I absolutley hate it when people do that, and they simply don't deserve to get married." then I have to say that you should limit your wedding questions to those who know you, your situation, and have similar thoughts/traditions as yourself.

I think she was saying that that other thread highlighted some extreme wedding no-nos that the average person would deem inappropriate. Fighting at weddings and nuptials at McDonald's are fine if that's what you want to do, but the general consensus is that those things are crazy.

However, wedding advice on and off the web should be taken with a grain of salt. Some folks will think it's okay to put gift registry stuff on the invite and others won't. As long as you aren't getting married at Burger King, you will be fine with whichever you choose and be able to ignore the naysayers.
