Stag and Doe's

[sparks19]

Sorry...I missed the "my sister and her fiance" in this post.

is that the only post you read?

I clearly mention "my sisters stag and doe this weekend" more than once.

but that is neither here nor there.... seems you just have your panties in a twist about something you don't understand and if you dont' understand it you don't like it. You have come to your own conclusions about our traditions and there is nothing anyone says that will change your mind.... you don't like it and that is that. But you are missing out on one h*ll of a party

this thread was not meant to start a heated debate.... it is a simple thread about a difference of tradition. is it too much to ask that a thread be taken the way it is? a light hearted question out of curiousity. Apparently it is. My mistake

I had no idea it would turn into a "youth of today" and "people are so greedy" and "if they are raising money they shouldn't be getting married they must be in tremendous debt" thread LOL it seems very silly to me that anyone would have even TAKEN the thread this way. it is a PARTY that people pay admission to.... apparently that is unheard of around these parts.... but admission to parties where the hall, dj, food and alcohol are supplied is very common where I come from... I see nothing wrong with paying an admission to a party such as this.... if you do ... well that is a whole different issue now isn't it. Where I am from a ten dollar ticket doesn't break the bank and if it does you don't attend.... no harm no foul.

Edited to add: I guess we are just a party nation hence this party tradition that is unheard of elsewhere

Oh and as far as I know we mostly forgo the bridal shower.... I can't ever recall going to a bridal shower or anyone even having a bridal shower.

It ain't the first time and it won't be a the last either. Are you really shocked she overreacted to something she knows nothing about? It's like her calling card. LOL

No you didn't but that is okay. I can understand how your hormones are raging and you are overly emotional.

why must you make lighthearted threads miserable. I have asked you in the past more than once to get off your high horse and do NOT speak to me like I am stupid. You are always so snide and sarcastic... it's not very becoming of you to be honest. Lighten up.

Please untwist your panties elsewhere rather than ruining a perfectly good thread.

Thank you

Shelteez.... must be an Ontario thing I guess. Very popular tradition in my area. I was actually very surprised to find out no one around here had ever heard of it.... but then there are a lot of things around here I know as normal that people here have never heard of.... like Smarties and they don't call it Kraft Dinner... they call it Mac and Cheese lol

... like Smarties and they don't call it Kraft Dinner... they call it Mac and Cheese lol

What?? Are you kidding?? How can someone not know what Smarties are? You eat the red ones last lol Doesn't everyone know that??

& ummm Kraft Dinner is call Kraft Dinner, cause it is :S It says that on the box :S

Yeah .... it says Kraft Dinner right on the box but it doesn't here lol it says mac and cheese. I thought maybe I had three eyes the first time I said "Kraft Dinner" here lol. I was very afraid that they didn't have KD.

Yeah and here... smarties are what I call rockets. You know those little round candy things you get at halloween? They call those smarties. and they don't have crispy crunch bars or Mr Bigs or Aero's :O and the first time I asked for a washroom at a restaurant? haha that was an experience.... or asked for a Rye and coke. and don't call it a couch... it's a "Sofa"

And worst of all.... prepare yourself.... no poutine

I never knew that so many things that were so natural and normal to me were so unheard of only 8 hours away. Although I do love the confused looks I get when I do come out with something our friends have never heard of.....

I've never heard of these parties, but they sound fun to me. Much better than any of the bridal showers I've ever been to!

Thanks for the laugh this morning ladies...I never thought a pre wedding party could spark such a heated debate
