So as quite a few of you know my cousin recently got married. The one who gave daily updates about her wedding being only X days away and the one who lied about why she didn't invite me and threw the fact I wasn't invited in my face daily but yet demanded to be invited to my wedding...
Ok sorry tangent, back to the topic...
Is it normal to create a new profile on facebook when you get married, with tons of stuff about how you just got married plastered all over it, only pictures from your wedding stating you need a new profile because you have a new life and are not the same person anymore (her words). This seems so silly, but is it normal? Is anyone else doing it? I know I'm irrational and should just block her but she keeps sending be damn friend requests with messages saying "Why haven't you added the new me!?" The "new you"? You are still the same annoying teenager you were last week...
I have never, ever heard of anyone creating a new Facebook profile because they got married. Who would want to inconveniece several hundred people by making all of them add the new profile? It's ridiculous.
I'd ask her why her husband didn't also create a new profile. Doesn't he feel like he's a new person too?
That seems REALLY strange to me. I've never seen anyone do that. "New me"... WTF
Facebook allows you to change your name for a reason. She's obviously just being a (pardon my French) major attention whore.
wow. so weird. totally NOT normal. almost sounds like she has a personality disorder
Ok thank god. I was going to say something to her but if it was something people did all the time I didn't want to seem too horribly mean.
Also I think my husband would have been rather annoyed if I became a whole different person when he married me. Isn't that kind of like voiding a contract? Just sayin'. ;)
Never ever heard of that. Weird. If your name changes, change the name on your facebook. If your relationship status changes, change it on facebook. If you look different, change the picture. I don't understand why one would ever need a whole new facebook page to "change" themselves.
I dont think its normal but I still wouldnt say anything to her about it. I would just not accept her friend request
I just watched Bride Wars last night so maybe she prescribes to Marion St. Clair's idea that until you get married you are dead. That marriage somehow brings you to life.
@bells:I have denied her friends request 6 times now, and she keeps asking why, I'm going to have to say something. "I already added you once" isn't a good enough reason for her...
I'm wondering if her old profile will be adding her new profile as a friend. I actually have a Facebook friend who has two profiles (no idea why) and her profiles are friends.
Say you are not in the habit of adding strangers on FB, and since you've never met this new person, she's a stranger. LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
wait? what? I thought everyone did this? 
i also think its crazy. But if all you care about is avoiding drama and her annoying you, then i would accept the friend request and then block her from your updates so she never comes up in your newsfeed.
@Neva: Wait, she's friends with herself? That's so odd. I know of people who have a "personal" profile and a "business" profile and those can be "friends", but two personal profiles seems completely unnecessary.
@Neva: LOL...wow, that's intense facebooking!
@Corilee13: Just add the "new" her and block her posts...
@Corilee13-May you can tell her that you only add 1 new person/friend per Social Security number. LOL!
It seems kind of insane to go through that trouble. I barely put 1 picture up, which was my new profile pic & the other couple pics that showed up were posted by friends and family. About a month after I legally changed my name I updated my name on FB. Some people take themselves & their weddings way too seriously.
I have seen when people get married, they abandon their personal FB and make a joint name acount like:
"Jessie and Luis Argentina " or Marya and Joe Johnson" " The Applebees" something that shows unity..
My favorite is when there is no "and" between their names so you get a request from like "KaitlynAndrew Smith" and you're like I have never met anyone named KaitlynAndr---oh.
No, not normal. But then again, this is probably the same type of person who will update her relationship status to "single" when she's fighting with her husband.
@Eva Peron:Yeah they didn't do that.
@Crisark: 19 a lovely annoying teenager...
@blingybride: I've tried a variation of that by saying I already added her once. I blocked her about two seconds ago lets see how long it takes her to catch on.
@ohheavenlyday: hahaha yea, its usually all strung together and to look at it bothers me aesthetically
The new me just changed my last name and relationship status on FB and uploaded a wedding picture for my profile. No need to reinvent myself.
In my FB experiences I can either acccept, ignore, or block the request once someone has sent it- is it possible to do the "block" option?
I would just tell her because she's batspit crazy, and you don't need that on your internet life since you already have to deal with her crazy A in real life. hahaha But, my mom also says I have no tact.
