It's been nice.......EDITED because Happy times are here again!!!!!
Original post by palebride
.....but I think it's time for LIW and I to part ways. My wedding is coming up, and it's pretty much planned.... and I'm sick and tired of having to read the same people having the same arguments day after day, without ever listening to anyone else's opinion, yet insisting that their own opinion be held in the highest regard. It's petty and immature and I've had enough of it.
For the record, I never accepted a bribe from any of my vendors. I posted only truthful information, as far as I knew it. I said nice things about people because I felt they deserved it. And I kept any negatives to FM, to save the feelings of other brides who had already booked them.
Good luck to all of you through your planning and in your lives. Keep in mind - this is just a message board. Try not to let unkind words get to you. Lori

I understand your feelings and I'm sorry you feel it has to be this way. Please post reviews of your vendors after your wedding so that those of us using them can get some good feedback!!!

Re: It's been nice......
The one thing that I have learned is that this is just a message board. You should not let some people get to you and make you feel that you should leave. Yes, some people on here have made meaningful friendships, but at the same time, you should keep in mind that you will probably never meet most of the people on here, so who cares what they say!
I hope that you continue to post your experiences so that B2B's can learn from you, just as I hope others will post their opinions as well, good or bad.
Please keep in touch.

Lori,
Just like most of the other brides here I hope you change your mind. I agree - your levelheadedness (is that a word?!? ), sincerity, and humor have made this board one of the many reasons I keep coming back.
I don't post on here as often now that my planning is done too. And while it is annoying/frustrating to see the same topics being argued over, don't let that stop you from chatting with those that you like to chat with.
In any event if you decide you don't want to post or be here anymore I hope you see this and I hope you have a WONDERFUL wedding, you and Tom deserve it and good luck with the condo and everything else!
I hope you still have my e-mail address, if not I will FM it to you and hopefully we can keep in touch.

Re: It's been nice......
All I can say is that it would be silly for you to leave.. I don't personally know you, and don't know what escalated last night from the last time I posted but you shouldn't let anyone get to you.. seriously, this is the internet.. you're planning your wedding and you've obviously made some friends here.. why give anyone the satisfaction.... there'll always be some drama and a difference in opinion from time to time.. just take it in stride and do what you gotta do....

i'm not sure exactly what happened last night so i can't comment on that. i can tell you that one time or another, a lot of us have taken 'breaks' from LIW for a variety of reasons. sometimes stepping away for a few days, weeks or months is exactly what you need to look at things with a new perspective.
good luck to you!!!

Are you crazy!?
If I let myself get this upset and left the boards everytime some Biotch decided to ACCUSE me of something....
Don't let them win! Look at it this way, now you have your OWN fan club. Funny what a florist can create
You're needed here.

Re: It's been nice......
OK OK!!!! all of this praise is going to my head and i'm going to need to get a new tiara for my wedding if it doesnt stop!!! I don't know why i thought i could quit LIW - it's impossible!!! There are so many wonderful people on here that I have come in contact with - both on and off the boards....I would miss you too much. I know that i'm a sensitive person and my feelings get hurt easily. It was something I thought I should work on, but then I realized that it's not a bad thing to be in touch with your feelings, so I'll stay just the way I am!!! and if anyone doesn't like it - they can not like it and go on with their life!!!
Thank you all so much for the kind words and the praise!!! wow! you ladies sure know how to boost a girl's confidence! I had no idea that so many people read my posts and remembered them. You all brought tears to my eyes...seriously. Thank you also for all of the FMs that you sent.....it was touching to see how many of you cared about me leaving and tried to persuade me to stay. So i'm still here....I guess I'll just have to learn to ignore certain things and let them roll off my shoulders. to everyone!!! Lori

Do you realize how DEAD this board would be if everyone left when something bad happened?
