    How is it plain disturbing that I posted on the wrong thread your just plain rude

    Projecting much...?

    The rudness would seem to be pitching-up on a subject outside the forum and then getting stroppy with it.

    You clearly confirmed you had read and understood the FIG as part of your signup, so not the knowing which forum thing is really something that can never arise.

    How is it rude asking a question on the wrong part of a forum think you need to get a life if it bothers you much and you take time out of your day writing useless comments on a thread if you didn't have any useful information to contribute why bother writing anything atall

    You clearly agreed you wouldn't - and taking a few minutes to orientate yourself and fit-in isn't too onerous a task.
    think you need to get a life if it bothers you much

    And this isn't rude? As I said, projection - because there is absolutely no rudeness intended here.
    and you take time out of your day writing useless comments on a thread if you didn't have any useful information to contribute why bother writing anything atall

    I seem to keep landing on bafflingly mis-posted threads recently - so how can they be commented-on usefully?

    I'd say its a big but completely avoidable problem for those giving and seeking advice on these boards.

    Are you really your partner's mother...?

    If not, then the main MRF or Weddings boards would be considerably more appropriate because here, its just plain disturbing.

    Eh???????????

    issue I have is that getting married abroad may well be cheaper for the bride and groom but costs the guests a fortune. My sister was looking at getting married in mexico. Beautiful location etc however for me, my husband and two children to attend the wedding was going to cost us 5k.

    She is now getting married in the uk and honeymooning in mexico. I would have gone to mexico (I would go to the moon to see her get married) but our grandma couldn't go that far and I think she realised that a lot of people she wanted there would not be able to come.


    Quite.

    If a couple wants to get married abroad that is completely up to them so long as they understand that some might not go and accept that with good grace.

    We have told our son who wants to get married in Florida that we will not go if he does but will contribute towards the wedding and have a party for them when they return if that is what they want.
