Girl who called Z100 this morning about East Wind! Please Read.
Original post by babybug631
You're in-laws are being ridiculous!! Ronkonkoma to Wading River is not a long distance to drive. I had family coming from Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Jersey out to Bayport. DO NOT concern yourself with this. Everyone has had to travel to a wedding at some point in their life. You do it because you care about that person and you want to celebrate with them.

Um. Actually I had more important plans than getting boozed up at a beach or BBQ, but I appreciate that you assume that I would act like you.
Here is the problem. People like you assume you know everything and make incorrect assumptions about people. How do you know what kind of vacation time I get or what I do with my time? You have no clue. So stop acting like it.
GROW UP
Why would you assume that I was speaking about you or anyone on this site in particular?
Because honestly, I wasn't. I've never seen your name on the boards, and was making a general statement of MY opinon.

yes, agree to disagree. i just wish everyone would try to be positive when responding to people's ideas like i tried to be (even if you personally wouldn't do it that way) just b/c people do things differently doesn't mean the other ways are bad... that's what i wish everyone would try to understand and practice.
like when someone doesn't like an idea of mine (i find that they make mean comments a lot) rather than just saying oh that's different than what i would do but good luck with it, and that's all really...
and thanks for the

I would NEVER tell her or anyone in the family that I am annoyed.
How can you say that we should not take offense to what you said about how holiday weekend weddings are annoying and unless that day has special meaning to us we should not get married on that day? How should we take that comment? Meanwhile you also say that you would NEVER tell your cousin or anyone in the family that you are annoyed, but you would go on a public thread of hundreds of brides who are having holiday weekend weddings and tell them all how annoyed you are. If you feel so strongly about it and feel that you can insult the hundreds of brides that you just insulted, why can't you tell your cousin how you feel?
Like I have stated many times before, their is a difference between opinions and rude comments. To go on a thread and state that it is annoying to go to a wedding on a holiday weekend when you know many people on this thread are getting married on holiday weekend, you had to know you were going to hurt feelings!!! I definitely respect your opinion and I know that their are going to be family and friends of mine and FH that feel the same way you do, and I could even understand you not wanting to give up your extended weekends that we all look forward to, but I also don't think this was a polite way to say it! That is the point that I am trying to get across.
I definitely think this needs to be dropped because like someone said before, we are all never going to see eye to eye, and we are all here to be supportive to each other and help one another out in the planning. I love all my LIW girls!!!!

There are 52 weekends in a year. If there is no discount on holiday weekends, unless there is some special meaning to the date (ie your anniversary is on Memorial Day or whatever) why would you have to choose a holiday weekend. I can see if 80% of your guests were coming in from OOT, that's understandable. But most of us have locals coming to our weddings. I understand it's an important day, but why tie up one of a few extended weekends that we have.
The same argument can be made regardless of when a wedding his held. 'Why have it during the summer, the weather is only nice for a short amount of time' 'Why have a wedding during the winter, it might snow....'
Bottom line is that if the guest cares about the couple getting married, they will attend with pleasure and not gripe about the day that the bride and groom chose. The wedding is about celebrating a marriage- on the date chosen by the people getting married. It's not about throwing a party for friends and family on the date that works best for other people...
I think in general people don't have a problem with a time of year. But when you tie up a 3 or 4 day weekend people get annoyed. I'm not saying it's right, but it's a fact.
People complain no matter when you have the wedding. they complain about the day, time, time of year, etc. If they don't want to come and would rather go away, they should respond NO instead of saying YES and complaining about it the whole time

I just read through this thread and I think it needs to go! I honestly never understand why people always fight with each other on this board. You don't know each other for the most part and everyone has an opinion. There is a polite way to disagree and no one should condemn a person for their opinion, whether they are a radio personality, a bride to be, or a relative. You picked your day because you wanted your wedding to be on that day and I can guarantee that someone will have something to say about it-- it is too far away, the time, the day, etc... If it is really inconvenient to them, either they will not come or they will leave early. However, if they really love you, they will be there! Everyone really needs to stop getting caught up in each others drama and realize the point of this website-- to plan and share in the joy of each others weddings! The fights are really pointless. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all and let it go.
Amen to that!

Re: Girl who called Z100 this morning about East Wind! Please Read.
oh NO.. i actually CALLED THEM THIS AM!!!!! I wasn't having any part of it.. Danielle really REALLY made me mad.. So I call.. they put me on hold- then cut to horoscopes.. ***?!?!? I didn't catch the convo yesterday, but then I heard it alllllllll this morning and remembered EXACLY who posted what when they were reading the posts.. Then I got angry!
So I have sent, and resent, an email numerous times today... here it is...
Good morning everyone!
I called this morning and was unfortunately put on hold for a bit too long and then you jumped to horoscopes... why? I had a good point too!
Anyway, I just wanted to say that on LI it is MORE expensive to get married on a holiday weekend because it is just that, a HOLIDAY! That being said, I am not getting married on a holiday/ holiday weekend. I can not afford it. However two of my friends are (1 Memorial Day weekend, 1 Fourth of July weekend) not because they are Bridezillas and expect everyone to come, or to make it all about them.. Surprisingly, they are getting married and spending more money on a holiday weekend for their guests.. They wanted to make it possible for all of their out of town family/friends to come to the wedding and not have to rush home that evening or the next day for work. I think that is a pretty noble idea, don't you? It isn't because the brides are trying to ruin your holiday.. If anything we are constantly trying to avoid confrontations.. I am really upset with Danielle's attitude. We don't mind if people can't make it to our wedding, it is upsetting, you are invited for a reason; but the fact that some people have it in their head already that they will NOT go because of the date is absolutely absurd..
I had to vent! I usually love you guys but this subject was a little incorrect in relaying information, and being a bride, I took offense to some of it.
Have a great day guys! Keep up the good work, and no I don't hate you!
Heather Bay Shore, LI
PS- Long Island Weddings rocks!
so, there it is.. I have our backs!!

Posted by ChrissynRicky This is what VACATION and PERSONAL DAYS are for....There are other times of the year that you can 'go away' besides LABOR, MEMORIAL, FOURTH OF JULY, ETC...
I want to say, I have no problems with weddings on holiday weekends and have been to my fair share. BUT I will say that although there are other times you can 'go away' during the year besides a holiday weekend. Sometimes, depending on your job, or length of time you've job you just can't and you use these long holiday weekends because it's already a 'free' day off for you.
I'm realitively new at my job, and don't have alot of vacation time. DH and I want to go on vacation this summer, so we are using a long holiday weekend to do so, this way I only have to use 3 of my days rather than 5. And YES, those 2 days do make a difference!
All I'm saying, is everyone has their own reasons for the opinions they have.

How can you say that we should not take offense to what you said about how holiday weekend weddings are annoying and unless that day has special meaning to us we should not get married on that day? How should we take that comment? .
Take it as it is. A comment.
I can say I'm annoyed. I got over it. I had somewhere I wanted to go, but I decided it was more important to go to the wedding. I was ANNOYED that I couldn't go where I planned. I'm over it. I'm not saying you shouldn't get married on that day. It's your decision. Why do you really care what I think? I stated my opinion.
As I said before, there was a thread a few days ago about my hall. People made comments saying they didn't like the room, they didn't like the set-up, and it was uncomfortable for them. When they made those comments I'm sure every bride on this website that had that hall was offended. I on the other hand didn't care, because my experience with that place was nothing but perfect. I had great vendors that made everything run smoothly and therefore resulted in tons of compliments from my guests. Do I think some guests may have not liked it? Yeah. But so what. Not everyone will be happy with our choices.
Again like I said, I personally am not a fan of holiday weekend weddings. That's all. If I said I don't like summer weddings, are all the summer girls going to start ranting and raving. Just like maybe you may not like winter weddings. If someone tells me they don't like winter weddings, do you think I care? Not in the least. I have my reasons for having a winter wedding. You have your reasons for having a holiday weekend wedding.
Everyone has their own taste and style.

my wedding is on Memorial day. And if u cant come then oh well u will miss a hell of a parteeeee!!!!!!!!!
Exactly, going to a wedding no matter when it is, is supposed to be a day for everyone to celebrate and have a great time. What's the inconvenience???? go away next memorial day or Labor day. There are many three day weekends to go away, relax and enjoy a wedding for a weekend.

I think it's so ridulous that you all take such offense. You're not getting my point. I am not so annoyed that I won't go to the wedding. I just don't understand the thought process of having a holiday weekend wedding. I don't care what anyone says, if I don't get a lot of time off from work, those weekends are like goldmines. However, I care so much about my cousin, I would never miss her wedding. I would NEVER tell her or anyone in the family that I am annoyed.
I'm sorry that I offended so many brides, but I was just giving my opinion. If you don't like it, oh well, we don't see eye-to-eye. We don't have to.
I think sometimes we as brides have the tendency to think we and our wedding is the center of the universe. I personally would not have a wedding on a holiday weekend.
And not-for-nothing, but a bunch of girls on this website said some bad things about my hall, which I happen to love. And I let it roll off my back because I know that we all have different tastes and different ways of thinking. I didn't attack them and try to tell them how horrible they are for not liking my hall, they don't have to.
You girls need to get a grip and stop taking things so personally. And I am a LIW girl, not from Z100. As you can see I've been a member for a while now. I just don't post much. But I do read a lot and I can see just how catty you girls get sometimes.
I see that your date is december 10th, don't you think that can be an inconvenience to some of your guest because it is so close to the holidays. People have shopping to do, decorating to do on the weekends because they are working during the week. I think, it was the way you stated how you were annoyed about your cousins wedding. If you were really excited about her wedding I don't think you would have been annoyed.
