**Wedding Warning**

Because I'm an obsessed dork, I frequent a couple of wedding chat boards. Most of the chatter centers around ideas people have seen and how they want to incorporate these ideas into their own weddings. There's also talk about how to deal with problems that inevitably arise when planning such an event.

Some of these ladies, however, need to get a grip.

Like the bride who complained that that her friends and family had given her too many place settings of her china and what a horrible inconvenience it will be to have to return the extras and how all of those gifts mean thank you cards and she really hates writing them and she'd rather not get a gift at all than have to write a thank you card. I'm sure if she showed that post to her friends, it could be arranged.

Today someone was complaining that she hasn't had heard from her bridesmaid in weeks and she can't believe that she has to plan this entire wedding by herself and her bridesmaid should really be helping and if she doesn't hear from her bridesmaid tonight, then she's going to fire her. Yes, fire her. Since when did being a bridesmaid become a job? And if it is a job, why aren't they getting paid? With something besides crappy lipgloss and a monogrammed totebag?
