.....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...you know I'm gonna miss you LOTS... .

Please keep in touch every once in a while... .

I know what goes on here sometimes is stupid...but, like a lot of us have said...just try to ignore it.

I wish you and Tom all the best!!!

Re: It's been nice......

I'm SO glad you thought it over and realized how much we all value your opinions and support..and have reconsidered staying on 'board.'

I'm super-sensitive also so I know exactly how you felt .. but don't change who you are as a result of that, its what makes you 'you!'

WELCOME BACK!!! Woo HOO!!

Re: It's been nice......

So you took the night off from us and now you feel refreshed. Whenever you get the urge to say 'I quit' take a little break and come back. You know you love it here!

Why not just try TheKnot???
It has a different feel. Not as much info because there is less traffic but not as much drama.

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

I sent you a loooooong FM last night and I got an Undelivearable message as soon as I sent it! I never send Fm's.. I've sent maybe only 10 in the 6 months or so I have been on here. But that FM was important to me.. and the others too as you can see. Glad you changed your mind!

I am one of the newbies on this site, so I obviously don't know you. However, I have been reading everything everyone wrote and I thought what a kind, cool, and caring bunch we are on LIWEDDINGS threads. You brought out such a positive side out of all the brides to be which also made me very happy to hear you are sticking around with us :)
