Especially me.

You don't feel left out. She did. It is that simple. Some people are sensitive, some people don't give a sh*t. It doesn't make anyone better or worse than anyone else. They are just different.

I'm going to be the azz......I thought the thread was fun, and it was nice recollecting old times and old memories as we all posted wedding photos, I think disappointment comes from those of us (myself included) who didn't have the most fabulous wedding photos of their wedding day, and the thread reminded those of us of this fact, which can hurt.

I'm not mad or holding any grudges, but I know that's how I felt when I saw so many beautiful wedding photos and knowing what I didn't get on my wedding day.

I still think you are one of the sweetest girls on LIW, Kathleen!

---

Betsy, I understand exactly how you feel and I agree with you. My wedding was just as beautiful as anyone else's but sometimes it makes me sad to think that no one else will ever know it because my pics don't do it justice. But that's not anybody's fault but my own, I should've hired a better photographer.

Kathleen, you have NOTHING to apologize for!!! It was great looking at all of those beautiful pics and celebrating what beautiful brides we all were!!! It's fun to relive lovely memories like that and it's wonderful to look at pics from the many 06er's weddings that we've all been a part of from the past year!!! It's actually really nice that we have that thread now, it kinda serves as our yearbook!!

Unless you were to take the list of brides who were getting married in 06 and post a pic from each wedding, you can't possibly cover everyone.

---

I actually tried to do that. I printed the list of 06 brides and it was about 8 or 9 pages long. I saw particular pictures from brides who never posted them before and was 'wowed' many times over. It took me over two hours to post the ones I DID post in my attempts to be as thorough as possible.

If it isnt this thread that hurts or offends someone, it will be another. There were threads ranging from money spent on flowers to 9/11 to politics to family dynamics to pro-choice to the hugebulge in Prince Harry's pants to Britney's parenting skills (or lack thereof) that impacted us in one way or another. You can't make everyone happy.

Kathleen, you are one of the most thoughtful and loving people on the boards. You have extended yourself to me many times personally, and I could not be more appreciative of your friendship. There is no way that anyone could interpret your original thougths to post favorite pictures as hurtful. I personally, do not think the core of who you are would be to be exclusive and discriminatory. You loved being a bride and you wanted everyone to see the beauty in as many of us as possible. I thank you for that opportunity.

You don't feel left out. She did. It is that simple. Some people are sensitive, some people don't give a sh*t. It doesn't make anyone better or worse than anyone else. They are just different.

And personally, I loved your wedding pics. You were a lovely bride.

---

Kat, I get it. but why the energy of posting 'no one picked me' that's like a pity party, which is far worse. If you feel left out...get in. most people are welcoming...just look at NWR...

put yourself out there...that's my point.

I typically never respond to these threads, but in regards to feeling left out, I wanted to say that this thread did the exact opposite for me! Although I have been addicted to LIW for over a year, I am not an active poster and never had an opportunity to meet any of you. When I saw that a few of you posted my wedding pics on the thread, it made me feel that pictures I did post had an effect on you!! So, thank you for creating this post, and thank you all for posting your beautiful pics

I get your point I am not arguing with you. Like I said, I understand both sides. I am a bride who makes myself known. I am loud and obnoxious on occassion. Was my picture posted? No. Do I care? No. But everyone is different. Some people are more shy by nature and that is a fact of life.

Kathleen, I actually responded to the post where girls felt left out.

It's nobody's fault. Why did I pick some pics of someone vs others? They were just readily available to me. That does not mean I don't think some pics are not great. I don't communicate with all the girls on this board so their screen name may not come to mind right away.

There are plenty of brides who did not make it to this thread and their pics were gorgeous but like I said... it would take 'extensive' research to find them all. So I guess it was laziness on my part but it was not meant to hurt anyone in particular.

And only one person posted one of my pic. So what? I saw some gorgeous pics of some girls I never saw before.

Your thread was a great idea. Don't beat yourself up!

Personally, I think your wedding pics were some of the most amazing I have ever seen. I love Angelica Glass' work and you looked like a MODEL in your pics.

Actually one of your pic was posted. As well as some of the brides who said they did not.

Yes, one of my pics was posted after the subject of 'missing brides' was brought up. It was a very nice choice of pics too

Some people know that I wasn't 100% pleased with my wedding pics. There are great pics of my wedding party but there are SO few good pics of my hubby and I together. That is why we are doing a day after shoot.

I haven't been involved in this.......but looking at what's going on at the tail-end: I understand what people are saying that you have no need to apologize because it's clear that you certainly had no intentions of hurting anybody's feelings.

But I just wanted to say that I think it's nice that you're caring enough TO apologize because some people did end up getting hurt.

JessicaM, I like your advice to jump into the water.

Hope no drama was started....I just know that some people were feeling left out...I guess we tend to forget brides who don't post that often or got married in the beginning of the year....Everyone was beautiful!

or who got married at the end of the year, who didn't have as much promotional time for their pix

Awww!! Kathleen!! Don't feel bad! I didn't think of it as a popularity contest - because I was bowled over by you ladies posting my pics because I never felt like I 'fit in' here until I did what Jessica said - Jumped in!! I think ALL the ladies know you meant it to be fun.

Yeah and they told me getting married in February was stupid. Little did they know what I was REALLY looking to do!

I loved this thread, and was shocked to find some of my pics posted - I wasnt expecting it at all - I did admit on several occasions that I was a bit disappointed with my pics in general, but the ones you guys chose were the ones i liked the best - it captured our personalities....

I enjoyed the thread, and did feel bad that some ladies on here felt left out - but then everyone showed how wonderful they are by making it a point of finding their pics and posting them - I thought that was the sweetest thing I have ever seen!

Don't apologize - it wasnt intentional at all - and it was a wonderful way to get us psyched for meeting each other Dec 27th!!!

You are an awesome person - I'll never forget you not wanting me to walk alone to my car at the Fridays parking lot - and making sure I got into my car safely!!!

I have to admit I was nervous, because the pics I chose of Liza, goldi and stephanie were kind of 'silly' but I LOVED them because I think of you all as FUN... So I'm glad you approve. Liza

I ALSO want to say there are pics on there that I had never seen (like the one of betsy twirling) and may not have seen if it weren't for this, so I am really happy that it was started, and I admire superkat - she was feeling left out so she posted her own picture - GOOD FOR YOU. I like a confident woman!

I am a silly person. Truth be told, I had that look on my face because when I tossed the bouquet, it hit the chandelier and I had to toss it again:
