Something tells me that this sounds like it was a computer glitch. That you were supposed to be matched with Serena but somehow you got matched with Marissa.

I'll be frank and say that if someone had said that to ME during pref night, I would have found it so insufferably rude that I would have attempted to find some way to have her CUT. LOL. I know that's not possible due to NPC regulations, but really - what could you expect from Marissa if you said that? I bet they weren't even expecting you to bid day when they saw that you were on their list.

Live and learn, I guess.

on the other hand, maybe "aprocess" was so awesome as a PNM to Marissa that they were going to give her a bid regardless of she expressing that Serena was the house for her. and if that's the case, then i'd hope that they'd at least check up on her (because i think if "aprocess" had accepted another bid, Marissa wouldve known in the coming days/weeks, right?) i guess this crosses the line of mutual selection, because, IMO, Marissa giving "aprocess" a bid knowing that she wouldnt accept it is the equivalent of a PNM putting XYZ down on her bid card knowing she wouldnt accept a bid from them.

OR perhaps the girls at Marissa talked to Serena and it backfired. I still think it was a waste of time for a house to give a bid if a PNM clearly says she wants to be somewhere else. Doesn't that make that house look pushy or even desperate?
