Has there been an abundance of BS questions here lately?

Question

Has there been a drastic increase in illegible, and juvenile questions, or is it just me? It seems I'm wasting more time sifting through all the troll's BS than reading actual postings! Any one else notice this? We all should start reporting people, it only takes 2 to get rid of a question. Hey, has anyone noticed that Luckylittletruthseeker hasn't been around? Let's hope he's permanently deleted....

So I don't get deleted myself....
What's up with walking down the aisle to music with lyrics? I'm so anti-tradition, but this one I don't think I can break. How many of you did this, and to what song? You didn't think it was weird? I'm using a steel drum band, so no lyrics for me...

Answer 1

Yes! There are so many people who don't even post questions, they are really just comments because they have no one else to share news with. What's up with the: "I'm getting married tomorrow! Any one else?" That isn't a real question, that's just bragging - as I've told others: take it to your myspace page or something.



This board is supposed to be people asking advice about planning weddings, and I guess relationship advice too - if you trust complete strangers with that. But so many people are just here to brag, have their own inflexible opinions confirmed or be judgmental (especially people answering judging religious things like premarital sex, etc.).



I think a lot of if steams from the whole "MY day" syndrome, if I see one more person justify unreasonable or selfish behavior with the fact that it's "MY day" I'm going to scream. It's just a wedding - life goes on long after the cali-lilies have withered.



I just hope that when some of these over indulged brides get married they don't feel the need to come back.



Addition: Yes Kathleen! The answerers are just as bad with the "my day" thing too, but I think that's because it's other brides who also have unreasonable demands for their weddings. They are just trying to make themselves feel better about using the excuse by perpetuating it.

Answer 2

I don't think there actually has been a increase, I have been on this board for a while and there is no fluctuation in my mind, there has always been that much crap. I think though in the summers on the weekend (and this is probably complete BS, but just a thought) a lot of brides are getting married, or getting close, so they don't have as much time to get on the boards. Today there was one question up for about 70 minutes until someone posted another one, so we hear a lot from the little girls and weird trolls (my favorite are the perverted "my wife won a dare" questionnaires, I just can't imagine what type of people these are) and honestly I like luckylittletruthseeker, I think. He was the chap that posted the sexist things right? I thought it was so funny people even took the time to get all riled up at them, and so defensive!



I don't know what the name of the song is, and this is going to sound really odd, but if you live near NYC there is a steel drum player that plays right out near the Rockefeller ice skating rink, I hear him every day before going to work. He happens to play just this really lovely melody, and very romantic feeling.



I will make sure to write you if I get the change to ask him the name of it on Monday.



EDIT



By the way, Muffin, I hate the my day philosophy even more when its other posters telling it to the girls to justify something completely rude, and uncouth (i.e. a poster asks "can I have a cocktail reception with no chairs or tables for guests, but have a head table so I can rest my feet?" and then someone comes on and says "do whatever you want its 'your day' go ahead!") they are helping perpetuate this terrible phenomena, and turning these girls asking the questions into, pardon the phrase, bridezillas, when they were at best just clueless to begin with.

Answer 3

You're right about the crap on here... I posted a question last night and had to think twice about it because I wasn't sure if this was a serious board or not. The Knot.com has a bunch of juvenile posts and you can't get anything done on there... but I digress.



As far as the song with lyrics, I love "Somewhere over the rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole so we are using that. If i can get the DJ to just have the "ooohs" and ukulele play, I'd love to have that, but if not, I guess I'll have to be a bit tacky and have lyrics.

Answer 4

Yeah ther are definately lots of BS question and BS answers. I don't know if it was in this category or not but there was one answer that was the lyrics to that song "I like big buts...." Totally irrelevant to the question. However, what I hate more than BS is when people type like they are texting. It drives me up the wall, if the question is typed like that I won't even read it.



Cheers to you on the 'no-lyrics' thing. I am also walking down the aisle with out the back up voices. I just found out about the people called the 'Vitamin String Quartet' and they do instrumental (strings) covers on current songs. I think the one I am going to pick is 'The way You Love me' originally by Faith Hill.

Answer 5

I agree abouot the BS questions. There was a time that I could cruise through Answers and give all sorts of answers. Now it's difficult to find a question worthy of an answer.



I walked down the aisle to a song with Lyrics. It was Enya "Only Time". Enya has such a nice voice ... so melodious.



Who can say where the road goes,

Where the day flows, only time?

And who can say if your love grows,

As your hearth chose, only time?



Who can say why your heart sights,

As your live flies, only time?

And who can say why your heart cries

when your love lies, only time?



Who can say when the roads meet,

That love might be ,in your heart?

and who can say when the day sleeps,

and the night keeps all your heart?

Night keeps all your heart.....



Who can say if your love groves,

As your heart chose, only time?

And who can say where the road goes

Where the day flows, only time?



Who knows? Only time

Who knows? Only time

Answer 6

No I think theres always been heaps of crap on here! Although, I have been answering less questions lately, you may have a point!

LLTS was annoying but his name cracked me up.

Whats odd is the people who respond seriously to bogus questions. Like a 16 yr old saying she just got married -- come on, unless she lives in a cult thats probably not true. But people were answering her seriously!

I do report spam, because I think thats the worst kind of post: "Is anyone looking for a dress? I just have to tell you about this most amazing company in China where the dresses are awesome and cheap and I just want to tell you all that I got my dress and its amazing you must check it out heres the link.." Come on. Thats spam and we all know it.

Oh well -- its a public not private place so thats the way it goes!

Answer 7

My friend is walking down w/ lyrics and someone playing on a guitar I think. She's using "Feels Like Home". I think it's perfect for her! I can't wait, b/c I know it'll be beautiful!



And yes, I've started noticing some random questions, like today ... I'm getting married next wk, but I found someone else, should I email my fiance?

Answer 8

Well, we're not even going to have an "aisle" because our wedding will be in the round. But here's the song I've chosen to walk to:

We'll probably have the lyrics printed as well:

My husband started tearing-up when I played it for him.



I don't see the problem with a kid wearing white. These days half the brides wear ivory, pink-tinted or blue-ish dresses, or some other color anyway.

:)

Answer 9

Steel drums sound great. I'd want to wear white cotton if I were a wedding guest!

L.L.T.S. keeps coming back, like athlete's foot. To make it go away you have to pee on it.

You could always play Bob Marley's "Turn Your Lights Down Low. That's a beautiful love song...

Answer 10

I've seen more BS answers than BS questions. lol.



Odd. I've never heard music with lyrics at a wedding. However, I will say that I am sick of hearing Canon in D.

Answer 11

No you are not alone when it comes to trying to decipher what someone is trying to ask in the postings. Sometimes I think it is just not worth it.



Good for you with the "no lyrics" down the aisle.

Answer 12

i completly agree with u!!! how about the little girl who is 16 and getting married and said her parents are paying for the whole entire wedding..she just sound very immature

Answer 13

We need to refuse to answer any question that is so grammatically incorrect that it doesn't make any sense. Whatever happened to commas and periods?

Answer 14

Yeah, school's out for summer, bored teenagers...
