*<3* QOTD 8/19 *<3*

Original post by KatieG2010

LIW/NYCityWeddings Question:

What are your likes and dislikes when it comes to this beloved website? (And be honest because IMHO, I don't think brides are very honest all the time )

Re: *<3* QOTD 8/19 *<3*

pros

getting great ideas

reviews of different vendors

something to keep me busy

being able to talk to you all about wedding stuff all the time since other friends would go insane if i talked them about wedding stuff this much

cons

fake brides

rude people/drama

when threads get pulled for no reason

that its so public/lurkers

Pros:
How helpful some brides can be
Vendor info
The ability to vent w/someone who knows what you are going through
The great ideas & advice
Beautiful pictures and reviews
making friends


Cons:
When some brides get rude w/each other and/or get judgmental.
I am also so not a fan of the discussions about the ring & how much your wedding cost, etc....
I think A LOT of ladies get the 'keeping up w/the Jones' mentality and make themselves NUTS!!!!!!!!!!

Like:

Reviews, ideas, pictures, being able to talk to people incessantly about my wedding and they don't get annoyed, the promising friendships I've made

Dislike:

Cattiness, drama, the fact that we can't post bad reviews, the fact that things get pulled, when people take things way too seriously and forget that in the end, it's just a chat site and not to take things personally

ita with this

Likes: Gaining imput on vendors, reading the long reviews on 'The Brides Review' board, being able to chat with ladies who are all in the same boat as me, getting ideas for DIY-ing it.

Dislikes: Like someone else said, the general gripes about message boards. And that my sense of humor doesn't always translate well via the written word, unless you actually know me.

I hate negative reviews being removed.
I also hate how sensitive people are when someone says something 'potentially' negative about their hall that they had experience with.

And i hate people who cause drama (not 10'ers)
Apparenty some of them made a website called popcorn girls lol. sad....

I also don't like when people say 'am I being a bridezilla?' and when the answers yes no one tells them they are. If I don't respond to your thread then u r a bridezilla lol

ok rough day I am ranting a bit too much now

But my toilet paper is SO fabulous!!



OK, I'm not even kidding that matches my whole damask theme!!!!

I'm totally sending it to FH and telling him I'm ordering them for the bathroom at the RH...


Dislikes:
Drama
When negative reviews get pulled, I want to hear the good/the bad/the ugly.

Likes:
The awesome advice I get from you ladies.
That no one judges me for hating my FMIL.
How supportive everyone is.

Yeah, I have a super sarcastic sense of humor so I get kinda worried I'm going to piss someone off when I'm just joking.

Really Like:

Bride's Review board, reading about the RH or the vendors I chose (most of the time) and seeing pictures of actual weddings...makes me happy, The ideas and pictures we share, being able to talk about my wedding at any given time, love that chatting on this board really helped me save some money and form my vision.

Dislike:

Some drama, bad reviews getting pulled (how do we make an informed decision?), kinda sorta not really but reading all the different ideas...although saved me money in some areas, made me spend in others. , dislike that I can no longer access this site at work and that I spend a lot of time on here instead of sleeping. LOL
