Not kidding, I said this above, but I was on a forum and people argued about whether you had to wear white-white (instead of pearl white or candelight white or ivory white...or whatever white) to show you were a virgin bride, or if those “off white” colors were just reserved for non-virgins.

I love pointing this out to people. It’s my favorite fun fact about weddings.

thank you. Does no one hear how crazytown saying, “Buy this $200 dress to my 8 hour event” is??!

I’m glad someone brought this up...I have been 100% dissatisfied with the stuff I’ve ordered from ModCloth. Those $60 dresses look cheap as hell!

OMG that is too much!!!! I laughed out loud.

Oh for sure there are still gorgeous strapless dresses, but they’ve so swept the market that most seemed boring and kind of “done” to me when I was shopping around.

please export that wedding mentality to my country pleaaaaase.

I went to BHLDN twice and was so disappointed by the gowns in person. I lusted over some of them online but when I got many of them on me, they were incredibly meh. Granted, I am a petite 5'3" and most were clearly made for 6 foot tall goddesses, so...not my scene I guess. I’ve had friends who went and had some great…

Totally respect you and thank you for this! Such a rude, weird rule to split people up because some are the normals and some are the super special bridal party. Likeeee seriously?!

Agreed. So I’m getting married this year and the more I thought about it, the sillier bridesmaids seemed (especially the ridiculous thing about requiring matching dresses, like we’re all five), so we’re doing away with it. It feels so good, and I get such satisfaction telling people every damn day, “Nope, not doing a…

Strapless ballgowns are SOO 2008-2012.

I just got my dress this past weekend (after an agonizing 8 visits) and it has SLEEVES!!!!!!! Just wanted to share that. I have had a weird time convincing people that this is OKAY tho; I even had one woman tell me, “But you have such nice shoulders!”— like a wedding was all about showing off the goods?? Like super…

Ohhhhh how I miss ITheeDread!!! I’m getting married in October and I so, so, so miss having a forum where normal women could talk about being a bride/planning a wedding NORMALLY/only semi-psychotically. I’ve surfed around on other wedding forums and my god are people nuts.

So far the best thing is Trump telling Cruz that literally no one likes him.

Yeah I’m reminded of that every time they do a write-up on a scientific study...ouch.

Thank you for fighting the good fight. Some people just like to be offended, though.

Yeah...that’s the first thing I thought upon reading this headline. Not that I think Trump supporters are beacons of tolerance and equality, but that’s not what the question was asking. Vox has a far better write-up of this.

I don’t feel awkward about saying that this guy is clearly an idiot, and nope, he and his friends wouldn’t have had a better chance of surviving. Sorry bro. What happened to him is horrific. Doesn’t mean he’s a brilliant, well-informed spokesperson on this.

“If that’s not hypocrisy, I don’t know what hypocrisy is.”

I would love to see the Republicans debate on PBS.
