Advice from an Old Married Lady

Original post by JXNOscar

I have been a member of these boards for almost 2 years and I feel both the people I have met on here, the friends that I have made and the information I absorbed truly helped me to plan the wedding of my dreams.

I came here to ask questions, some intelligent some a little manic (hey, we all get crazy). 'Do you like my STD?' 'what do you think of my song list?' 'My MIL wants to carry a live canary during cocktail hour'

The one thing that is important is that when you see a question posted on here, do not be so quick to ATTACK the poster. If a bride wants to have her bridesmaids wear pants to her wedding and is posting pic of the two outfits she cannot decide on

THAT IS NOT A FORUM TO CAST YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE PANTS.

I see way to many people getting flamed lately and it upsets me bc this is not what this site is about. Like I say to all of my friends who are now planning their own weddings. If you want orange and purple polka dots, go for it!!!!! It's you day.

Just be nicer to everyone on here. For me, I came on here to vent about my crazy family during the process. All of my 06 gals would always support me, never yell at me for some idea I was thinking. And when they provided me with opinions, they did it in a way that wasn't criticizing. It was nice, and I appreciated the advice.

That's all. Just some advice from an old married lady.

Re: Advice from an Old Married Lady

i totally agree with you...what may seem odd/weird to one person/one bride may be perfectly cool with another bride...
