I think there may have been alcohol taken and I'm sure the OP didn't mean for the thread to turn out like it did.
Headache and regret this morning possibly?
story of my life that is.
Awww. Sweet post.
I still quite like the idea of a wedding reception for two at Macdonalds though. No bankrupting and exhausting yourself, just a simple, private celebration by two people not trying to make an impression.

I do, too. It's refreshing to think of a couple getting married because they want to be husband and wife, rather than having a massively expensive celebration for the benefit of everyone that knows them.
You just made a judgmental post about judgmental posts about people being judgmental!
And I just made a judgmental post about about a judgmental post about judgmental posts about people being judgmental!
And you are just adding to the judgmental undertones of this thread by making a judgmental post about a judgmental post about judgmental posts about people being judgmental. I hope you are thoroughly ashamed of yourself. :mad:

The way people treat relationships and marriage these days is sad. So few people seem to take either seriously anymore, and it feels like no one wants to put the effort in to making this stuff work. Weddings are just for the sake of showing off and having a party, and people seem to use Ross and Rachel from Friends as inspiration for how to behave in a relationship.
Depressing. OP, your ex and his new fling sound like a match made in hell. Be pleased you're well out of it.
I'm sure you're not but I wouldn't take too much notice of those pesky judgmental types that have had a pop in your direction.
re your OP- It's a pretty natural, normal human reaction I'd say. Maccy D's is a shambles of a place to have a wedding reception. Now Burger King on the other hand..;)

Well said Molly I have to say, I cringe when I see how frivolously other people I know treat marriage and sanctity of vows etc. It's a joke, and marriage really is no joke, especially when you end up dealing with an expensive divorce and when kids & property are involved.

Or KFC?! Or Subway?!!
I can't be arsed with FB today and the reaction of his family is depressing, but we have a lot of mutual friends so the news is hard not to hear around these parts (he also only lives 4 miles down the road). From what Ive heard she apparently put up a "****, what have I done?"-style update this morning....... :eek::rolleyes:
All the best to him I say. I think he's equally well rid of a bitter, spiteful, judgmental woman from the sounds of it.
Much as I agree that the OP is somewhat bitter and has been venting her emotions on the thread, I think it's unfair to say what you've said - that she's spiteful.
When you've been in love and been hurt, most of us have been through that I imagine, it's very easy to convince ourselves that we are over a relationship and that all is well, to laugh it off.
However, when we see that person then involved in another relationship, marriage, one that you hoped might be the end product for yourself and that person, you are bound to feel a kick in the nether regions, a hurt, wonder what it is about you that was lacking and what it is about the next person that makes them different.
You feel hurt, bitter, you put on a brave face, but it is bound to leak out, and I feel that - although DS is not perhaps the right place for those emotions to leak - maybe the OP felt that this the only place she could let it all rip, and perhaps it's cathartic for her to let go of some of that remaining feeling here.
Yes, it might not be the right, proper, correct thing to do, but we humans are a mass of emotions, and perhaps the OP needed an outlet, a voice, a place where she could let out what she may have been holding inside a bit, somewhere where it was nothing to do with her reality, her real life. A release. Therapeutic in a sense.
Heartache isn't a nice feeling, it can lead to outpourings of all kinds. It's not a logical emotion.

Oh I'm obviously a bit crap at the bible

That's rather judgmental, don't you think?
Whatever. In this particular thread, I have ....'judged'.... the OP to have been bit too harsh & shrill.
That makes it even worse
I agree, its taken me ages to scroll through all this.:(
Good old DS eh?

Shh, I know. Just don't judge me for it, whatever you do.

Honestly, just no class:rolleyes:
Now the local kebab shop....
Personally I would prefer it or a pub to some stuffy posh hotel or country club where the food is pretentious and the atmosphere is formal and boring.
Look, how many times do I need to explain that? We were on a BREAK!!
Well said Molly
