While I'm sure that would relax her a bit, I wonder at the appropriateness of doing that right before she gets married. While she's still technically "free", her SO may harbor feelings that she is already spoken for. No sense complicating an already tense situation.

Best throw-a-bathing-suit-in-the-back-of-the-car-and-hit-the-accelerator song ever is "Let's Go"--listened to it today and nearly played hooky.

Also, I know "greatest hits" albums are a wuss-out but I can't stand futzing around with the CD skipping over filler when I just want to drive.

Oh Velma - good list! But I must say that Candy-O is the best driving song on that Cars CD.

Fuck him too. Make it a threesome. Do some ass-sex

. Any way you can, break them up and have a good time doing it. He doesn't really wanna marry this horror anyway so you are saving them both lawyer's fees down the road. Imagine what her offspring would be like. This entire thing needs to be fucking nipped in the bud.

edited to say that I told you I was feeling crabby today. Also, I didn't realize that I was using my outside voice.

Definitely bridezilla. But blame it on the registry, which must have forgotten to include your card with the gift.

Next time, send a gift card along with a gift from www.dogdoo.com. A great site, if its still around.

Edited to add - aww $hit, tried the website and got 404ed. Thank god for archive.org

Good point.

What you should do is go to the fiance, give him your card and tell him that you'd love to represent him in his upcoming divorce. I'm sure he'll tell bridezilla what you've done, and you'll never have to fly back east again. Except for that divorce hearing.

If you were interested in continuing the friendship, you could always tell her that you didn't want to spoil the surprise? shower by sending a gift in advance nor did you want to burden whoever was hosting the shower with the additional task of receiving shipped gifts.

I was invited to my cousin ( who I see like once a year)'s "Room to Room" shower - the invite indicated that we were supposed to choose gifts from the registry in accordance with our room assignment. The only things available for my assigned room were either a $280 sheet set or a $450 comforter. I refused to buy either and therefore did not attend (my aunt would have been perturbed that I didn't follow the invite instructions). I sent a nice (from the registry but in a more realistic price range) gift after the shower with a note explaining that I was sorry that I could not attend but did not want to spoil the surprise by sending the gift in advance. People should really just be happy that you are getting them anything.

Tax hottie, firstly, clearly from your avatar it is evident that you're other socks are PLF, Hello Kitty and Leagleaze.

Sigh, I wish I could be as taxing and hot as tax hottie, and yet, I am not. Also, her avatar is cooler than mine. I need a cuter avatar. One that will really really piss TM off.

Any suggestions?

Neigh...

I did some domestic work at the beginning of my indentured servitude, uh, career. I am actually doing the divorce lawyers a favor by saving them from one more co-dependent, whiny-ass, "I want him/her to pay until it kills him/her" divorcing couple. Those divorce lawyers would have a better time doing collections work than dealing with this bridezilla in a couple of years.

"Your $330 contribution must be received on or before June 30. Only postal money orders will be accepted. Please purchase it only from a U.S. post office. Thank you for your contribution."

Couldn't possibly be true, but if it is, it's the worst thing I've ever seen. How about this. If you can't possibly afford such a wedding, DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF WEDDING. How hard is that? Also, I love how the "I hope you will see this as a request for a donation and not a charge . . ." two sentences above "Your $330 contribution MUST be received on or before June 30." Sure sounds like a charge to me. But of course, it can't be real.

Oh, and PLF, go suck a fattie, you narcisistic twaddle. Maybe you were hot shit back in the day, but now you're quite simply not a waiter. You bring nothing to the table. What you know about fashion, sex, pop-culture and lawyering could be balanced on your teeny tiny package.

you can get much the same effect with a greeting card from www.ratemypoo.com (read the name- its an accurate description of page content)

1. Let your bridesmaid(s) choose the dress they will wear. Otherwise they'll just hate your guts for all time no matter what you pick.

2. Act like the groom actually matters. Do not make him wear a pink cummerbund because it goes with your princess color scheme, or he will feel whipped and ultimately have to divorce you.

3. If you're not paying for the whole wedding, you don't get to call all the shots. Stop being such a bitch to your family and invite your parents' best friends from elementary school if they ask, because they could have, and should have, spent the $20k on themselves instead.

4. Don't imply that you expect people to give gifts that approximate the amount you spent on the reception. This is a recent trend and if you follow it you are a petty nickel-and-diming greedy pig who deserves to burn in hell.

5. Enjoy the day. If you're the kind of woman who's built her whole life around waiting for her wedding day, it's all downhill from there you poor sap.

Thanks.

I love this part - the postal money order. Jesus, given the company that this lovely must keep, em would probably get a much better response if em had allowed for Western Union Moneygrams - purchased from Walmart.

Damn. Here I thought you were merging threads, and this was a site devoted to the mechanics of valuation of marital property.

Yes, I thought about telling her that, but it's too late now. And yes, I did receive a thank you note from her. And of course I'll continue the friendship. This is just part of her personality in general--she's always had prima donna tendencies. She once chastised me for not sending her a birthday card (I was off by a week, so I hadn't sent it yet). Yes, I should've known her damn birthday (she knows mine), but to come out and point out the omission is just as egregious a faux pas, imo.

Anyhoo, at least the dress is gorgeous. Thanks for your support and validation!

Oh, check these out. What do you think of this as part of a wedding present?
