Weddingbee boards

I've been harboring this from you all for quite awhile now...I feel guilty for not being more honest in the beginning.  I have been deceitful and dishonest.  At times, you girls have sought my opinion and I have blantantly lied to you.

I am so very sorry.  I hope that you can accept my apology when you find that that in reality......

I hate your candy buffets.

I hate the prettiest candy buffet there is!  I hate them all because I just hate the concept!  I am an adult and I don't want a gumball at your reception.  I don't even want a gumball in a box for after your reception!  Or a jelly bean for that matter!  Candy buffets remind me of the candy machines in clusters in the mall.  And, no, I don't like those either!

So, I hope you can find the humor in this thread and not tear me a new one. I am just wondering---does anyone else share this sentiment? I know, you're probably too afraid to raise your hand...But I encourage you, my fellow candy buffet hater, speak up!  You are not alone!  I know you're out there...statistically you must be!

And if you're mad at me for posting this, I will let you hate something of mine in return.  How about my...buffet dinner? Or maybe my wedding cake design (the cake that I only I love and everyone else tells me is ugly)?  Or my "shrimp" colored BM dresses?  Haterific enough for you?  Go ahead, I allow you to hate on it all!  It can be a hate-trade off!  If you want to post something like "well that's mean and hurtful, VM", just post this instead "your ugly wedding cake can kiss my beehind!!!" It'll make you feel better!

LOL. I don't hate candy buffets (maybe if all they've got is silly kid stuff like gumballs and jelly beans and gummy worms, but I think a spread of truffles and other gourmet candies would be pretty kickass, though I'm not doing one), but man I have definitely held my tongue on A LOT of wedding concepts/ideas/aspects that I found ridiculously self-indulgent/pretentious/cliché/childish/ugly/horrifying/in very poor taste.  Either I'm totally an out-in-left-field asshole or you aren't alone.  Your candy buffet is someone else's ______.  And I'm sure there is someone to object to just about anything in my wedding, but they haven't come out and said it either. :P

I have no idea why I posted this in "emotional", I guess when I was typing it I was getting really worked up about it.  HAHA sorry.

I've just been in hiding for so long now.  It feels wonderful to have walked out of that closet.  Thanks for not disowning me.

HAHA you think you can handle my ugly wedding cake?

@Twista--hahah ok, ok, I LOVE werther's Original!  Particularly the chocolate covered ones!

Haha, you girls are funny.  Here is my ugly wedding cake!  But mine will be without the nest (that's particularly horrific), and the "branches" will be gold and more knobby, and branch like!  HAHA  all my BMs think it's ugly and even my baker tried to convince me to change it.  Still, I stand strong.  I think with a few changes, this cake can be beautiful.  And hey, if I'm wrong---whatever!  It's just cake.  (I know for sure it'll taste amazing!)

funny... i dont have any sentiment on candy buffet because i had never seen one in person. i know i wont so it at my wedding. 

i love your post virginia, you are so funny! 

@Mamadee, omg I think a late night pizza sounds AMAZING!   I would love that.  Are you getting enough for everyone?!  how fun.

EDIT:  We are doing the sheet cake thing too!  Our caterer does three other desserts, so we are serving those desserts and boxing the wedding cake to go home as the favor. 

@SMYLEY--hahahaha that's everyone's reaction!  Well, I refuse to use fondant, so the butter cream will have to do...hopefully my baker has a more steady hand than whoever the heck made this particular cake that I found on google though!!!!  I have to say, I LOVE the little double beaded edging though.  Granted, I could put that on any cake.

I think the nearly black, poor excuse for branches in that particular picture throws people off.  Plus the nest is weird.  It would make me think the bride is pregnant. 

@Vonnegirl, HHAHAHAHAHA what a great image you put in my head.  I'm so glad you posted, because I know that many guests love to _____ (insert appropriate yet possibly vulgar word here) the candy buffet.
