i have gone back and forth about posting this for a while now and since it is still bothering me a month later i decided that i will post. for those of you that are regulars on the board, you may notice that i post on occasion and never try and stir up trouble... so i hope not to do so now - but this has really been bothering me.
as you can tell, by reading my profile, i am getting married at the harbor club in huntington. with all of the happenings around the selling of john anthonys - of course the harbor clubs name was going to be mentioned... and it was .. particularly by someone who used to post here under the screen name joeysbaby. on several occasions, she had said that the harbor club was going to be sold for condos and other various reasons why people should not have their weddings there.
of course, as a realistic person i know that everyone is going to have different opinions about the place where i will be getting married and i am open to hear both the good and bad. but i thought it was odd that one particular person was always the one saying the negative comments.
i even called over to my reception hall and asked about the rumors about the harbor club being sold for condos.... i was told that they were just that - rumors and not to be concerned - more research eventually revealed that joeysbaby was actually someone who had once worked for the harbor club and now worked for a different catering hall (which she was promoting as a bride)... im not even sure if she was actually getting married or just posing as a bride to promote her catering hall's business.
my thing is - i am sure that there are other vendors on here posing as brides promoting their businesses - and although i do not necessarily agree with that - i feel as long as they are not hurting anyone that is there own prerogative - what i found exceptionally hurtful about what joeysbaby was doing was that she was not only promoting her own business but making untrue statements and even lies about other places so that she could promote hers. i was actually in tears thinking that the place that i was going to get married at was going to be ripped down for condos - i believed her!
so why do i tell everyone this now - i love this site and have gotten both useful and creative ideas that i will be incorporating into my own wedding. And because of this i want the girls on here to know that not everyone is a bride on here and to be careful about what you take to heart because not everyone has the best intentions in mind..... there are some people on here posing as brides
