I never spoke to her again. She was notoriously cheap in college and it was like squeezing blood out of a rock to get her fair share of beer and pizza money. That was the cherry on top and I decided, in the end, it was a small price to pay for not having to be shaken down every time I see her for the rest of my life.…

That is some bullshit right there. You do not spring a “Hey, you’re participating in this group gift” the day before the wedding. if MOH wanted to do something like that, she should ask at least a month in advance who would want to participate as an option.

Is there such a thing as a MaidofHonorZilla?

You should have reminded her before her second anniversary that brides have a year to write thank you notes for gifts given so if she wrote one ASAP she’d still be within the acceptable time period. Because that amount of awful requires some next-level snark in return.

I was in a wedding of a very close friend years ago. Close enough that I was the only one actually staying at the bride & groom’s house the weekend of the wedding. (Until the wedding day, of course, when I moved to the hotel like everyone else.) I had spent at least six months prior working on a really nice…

Nope, that’s what traditional wedding etiquette dictates. To me it sounded like this wedding was fairly recent so it’s entirely possible the bridesmaid is either going to send something later OR maybe had something on backorder...or, as said above, it’s completely acceptable for no gift at all!

Not RSVPing is a huge pet peeve of mine. HUGE.

I didn’t want a registry, but my mom said “look, people are going to get you things, so you might as well have a registry because if you don’t you’re going to end up with bizarre, ugly, useless crap you hate OR several iterations of the same item.”

Umm ... I was under the impression that etiquette granted you a year to buy people gifts for such occasions. Am I totally wrong? Either way, Fuck that bride.

I was in my best friend since kindergarten’s wedding last year. She knew I had financial problems and instead of an expensive gift, she asked me to paint her a fingerprint tree for her guest book. I was so relieved to be able to spent so little and give her something I knew she would treasure forever instead. Her…

Like I said, I don’t know the timeline. Is there a looming date and unless they work their butts off, they are in big trouble, or is she just and obsessive-type personality, and likes business taken care of asap, regardless if it needs it or not? I’d imagine time is not unlimited, but is it so short that it requires…

Again, I don’t really understand how doing those things is him making her feel like an asshole. She has obligations to fulfill that entails X, Y, and Z; there’s no verbiage that says, “when I tell him ‘no we can’t hang out w/ friends’ he comes back and says ‘god, you’re such a bitch and you’re ruining my life.’” I…

Right, but unless her SO says that makes her a jerk it could still all be in her head. She could be saying no to all these things, and his reaction is simply “Ok then.”

According to the article:

That’s more than A WHOLE HOUSE in many places!

$181,000? That is more than the downpayment on a house! Who in the hell do these people need to impress so much? And for what?

Ok but are we not going to talk about the $181,000 “regular person” wedding featured in the back of Bride magazine this month? Because it has been making me cry/heave all week

You know where a great place to keep that bottle of water is? Easily accessible without taking your eyes off the road or bending over? In the cup holder.

I want to believe you, but the evidence is hard to ignore:

I read the article and I still don’t get it. If it was a foot under the pavement, how would it be found in the grass?

My great-granddad’s WWI service revolver is now a cherished family keepsake. He decided it was “the least those sons of bitches could do”, according to lore.
