Ladies and gents,
As you know this is an anonymous wedding forum but many of us chose to share identifying features, both on board and off. It helps to create a sense of community but it can have its dangers.
Imagine if you were to highlight an issue you were having with a supplier (issues with venues and dress shops have already been aired today, why shouldn't they be?), you would reasonably expect to receive some sympathy or advice. Often more detailed advice is given off board. Nothing wrong with that.
How would you feel if someone, a random from the board, took it upon themselves to contact your supplier with a view to sorting out your issues or chase them up for outstanding information? Imagine them doing that without your permission.
Don't know about you folks, but I'd be bloody livid. Even after seeing their poor attempt at an explanation. Perhaps even more cross than I would be to start with.
Unfortunately that day is here.
Be careful what you say, ladies and gents.
