the knot is ...

Original post by luvabul

i was on the knot.com just browsing reception ideas...while the pictures are all stunning and gorgeous, theyre a little UNREALISTIC to me, does anyone feel that way?
not helpful ideas for the common bride.. .
i mean most of us will have a nice, classy wedding within whatever budget we have...but some of the stuff on theknot is like for brides that seem like they have no budget ? i wouldnt be surprised if they color coordinated the reception halls bathroom toilet paper with their wedding colors ...anyone feel that way...


i feel like everytime i read the description of the picture the setting is either :
a villa
a mansion
huge grand backyard
by the pool
hawaii

lol...is it just me??

omg...i havent read any of the knot boards ...but yeah most ppl dont have weddings like that lol ...

yay ur still up awake too, im bored now i just had a whole can of coke ...bad idea



ITS REAL BAD, seriously they just fight and nobody can say anything...If any girl goes on there and complains about anything for example about a bm not doing something or anything close to that you will get ripped apart. You can't say you like anything princess like they have a name for people like that it's called a beebee, if you're too excited about your wedding they say things lol.

I never even said any of those things and all these girls just came in one time in a thread i had just posted in and all they did was attack how i looked, they said how fake my boobs looked-MEANWHILE THEY'RE real, and some girls actually said yeah i can tell they're real...So when that was done with they were like well how fake are your lips and again they're real, then they went on about my nails and again those are real lol...Then talking about fh and how he dresses and looks lol, these were all people who didn't live in NY and to them NY styles are a bit outrageous...And everytime they saw me in threads they would say something lol, which is pretty pathetic.



don't take it personally.... I've noticed there is a minority of people in other parts of the US resent NY'ers. They basically hate all of us. I have no idea what damage they have in their lives that erupted into such hate, but it's there, and they are inexplicably PROUD of it.... and maintain a sense of elitism. All they need as a motivation to be really rude to you is a suspicion that you live in the NY metro area... They'd do the same thing to anyone of us!

I never go on the boards there, I only look at the wedding bios for ideas, and you can get some great ideas. Not everyone has a lot of money or had some ridiculous wedding. In fact, I bet most people here on the LIW board are spending more money on their wedding than most people on the Knot, if only because it's SO expensive to have a wedding on Long Island. And then there was whole thing the other day about open bars vs cash bars--most other places in the country don't have open bars, they think it's too much money. I guess if you're paying $20 a plate for dinner, the price of an open bar seems like a lot, but at the price we're paying, it's not big deal. I'm not sure you could have a dessert-only reception on Long Island for $20 a plate, the site fees alone would be higher than that.



YES!!! people on LIW do have more expensive weddings than those on the knot. I was floored when soooo many people wrote how much pp they are spending...Some where $15pp, 20 pp, 30something pp...it was VERY common. and there were quite a few that did cash bars and the only time i heard of a dessert reception was on the knot.

OMG Denise that is terrible!! I would have been so pissed!! Who are they to comment on you and FH's looks?? That's truly bizzare...People get so jealous!!
I never go on those boards and now I'm glad I stay away!!



They do it to alot of people...What really just made me had enough on those boards was when they kept talking about how ugly one persons baby was...I don't care what the girls situation was, they said something about drugs or whatever but that was crossing the line...They would constantly say things about this baby, and oh yeah we'll see how long a drug addicted baby will live, and how the baby looks sick and ugly, i dont even think the babys mother was on drugs but i was disgusted by that...I don't care what you think of the mother, the baby is innocent and that was horrible.

Plus one girl they bothered all the time and there was a big thing about it bc her FH came on and said something too...He had cancer and they said things about that to him, like mean things...I couldn't believe it, i was seriously shocked...I was just like this is going toooooo far.

The pictures are like that and vendors and all that they have but the majority of people on the knot do not have weddings like that...Most of them have small budgets...I posted my budget once and everyone was like OMG you are crazy and blah blah blah. But then again people on the knot LOVe fighting with eachother and that is all you see if you read the boards...If there is no drama that day people will even post ugh its boring where is the drama or call out a certain person on there and say where is this idiot when you need entertainment.




Omg, you noticed that about the Knot, too? They're phycho on there! I literally had to STOP postimg be4 my wedding, because there were some girls on there that were threatening to come to my church and hall and ruin my wedding!
You'll still find a couple people on all board that will cause drama, just not anything as bad as the Knot though!
And yeah, they do have budget weddings, it seems like. Half the Rh's i've never heard of on there!

Re: the knot is ...

and you know what also gets me so confused on the Knot?
All these brides they're supposed to be sooooooo happy about planning their wedding and plannin the wedding of their dreams, that they're so cruel, heartless and mean, It's like 'hello, this is supposed to be the happiest times of your life, why are you picking a fight?'

Yeah they're like that, I seriously can't believe some of the things they say and do. They think its the cool thing to not get TOO excited about your wedding...Its funny bc so many girls on there will say before I came on the knot i wanted all these things for my wedding and now since you all told me its such a beebee thing to do i wont do it...Uhmmm you're sheep if you change your mind because others don't like it.

I don't get it either about being miserable during wedding planning...If you want to fight with people and cause drama go on another board, not a wedding planning one...It's like yeah some of us are happy about getting married

Re: the knot is ...

Well thank the lucky stars we LIW. Im addicted and its been sooooo helpful to all my pre-planning and ive compiled so much useful info from all the LIW ladies its such a valuable tool and im so grateful for it. Those Knot brides are obviously miserable and dont have anything happy to focus on. I was horrified as I was areading this post.

Re: the knot is ...

It's really a shame that you guys have had an experience like that on the knot. It used to be a very useful tool with a great bunch of girls on the LI Board. There are still a bunch of us who, long after the weddings have remained friends and still get together, much like this site.

ETA: I guess it's changed drastically over the last few months...

I'm realy sorry to hear you had that experience. You've been nothing but nice and helpful to me - they sound stupid and judgmental. It's no new news that girls can be catty when other chics have bigger tatas and nicer lips! (and apparently we can add cuter Fhs and Erings to that list)
