You know, it's sad that the scammer emails actually have better grammar and spelling than this chick. Or maybe it IS as scammer and they're trying to sound like a "real American" by using textese?
tell her to be sure and send you pics of the wedding cake lol from this cheaper place
i just mean if shes sending the exact email every where, maybe its the new "happy married life" scam, ya know?
Yep...them's the way I want it! Sheeesh...the young people today will be in for a rude awakening tomorrow.
Hellooo!! I'm like so much a young people, and I like totally don't see the problem ya'll talking 'bout!!!
I was at work when I read the this post and my colleagues couldn't understand why I was suddenly laughing so hard.
My parents write better English than that, and neither of us are English
My DH could not understand why I was laughing so hard (Tears were coming down). I feel that it is rather embarassing to aproach a professional or anyone that you are trying to do business with and talk/write with any type of slang. "Thank you, Mom, for teaching me how to communicate and respect others."
P.S. That pic of the bride made my day!!
I'm eagerly awaiting the appearance of that cake on Cake Wrecks!
thats exactly what i was thinking! yesterday i was on that site looking at the inspiration V what they actually got cakes and again im reminded, you get what you pay for
i hope to see her pic of her cake someday
I had a thought this morning... maybe she is doing it as a publicity stunt ordeal for possibly a reality show, or to get on a show? That seems a popular thing to do these days. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt too and say she might have a REAL wedding after this little stunt is over.
Again, she does sound young.
None of these factors excuse her from using proper English.
Make castle type cake and a bunch of tiers above it (mind you, it doesn't have to look good... just pass for kinda looking like a castle)... then put 3 knives between your fingers and slice the whole cake to holy heck. Tell her you invisioned Freddy going crazy on the cake!

Maybe she wants to be on bridezillas? She could have misunderstood, you know because they act like b*tches on the show, maybe she thought she needed to be a witch? Honest mistake, it happens all the time. But seriously, even for a scan she is pretty dumb since she is bargaining. I mean, if you're not planning on paying, who cares what the price is?
Is anyone gonna feel bad if she does a Google search for "Halloween Weeding Cake" and this thread comes up?
LoL just curious.

No.
Wow! you know what, I think these pple sit at home and watch shows like Cake Boss, Ace of CAkes and Amazing wedding cakes and some where in their little heads they think that they can call up their local baker and have them make the same cake that they saw on t.v that probably cost between $1000-$5000 for $200. SHe sounds like she smoking smthing unusual.
I work in the grocery store and meet some people . The way of their talking is the same as those emails. They are from Haiti.Their native language is French , I am really not susprise to read them , but it is not easy to understand

Honetly (not trying to be a party pooper) We cannot sit here and categorize the ethnicity of this person, and quite frankly I think thats a little wrong to point fingers. "Well a Mexican must of written it, or and asian,black, or so and so.
the point is that its freaken funny period !!
Lets take it a a joke and not make it a race issue. IMO
That is freakin' funny!!!
Wow. u no, i hav a hrd time takin anione seryously woo doens't take no timie 2 spel corectly. Your response was perfect.
Wow. I live in Arkansas and THAT made my head hurt
Ditto! I have a southern accent but good heavens! My niece is a 15, a big texter, but she is also a writer. She won't let anyone see anything she's written until the spelling is perfect and her grammar is perfect. She and I are alike that way (at least the spelling part) .

Actually, I hope she does and it makes her reconsider this trainwreck.
No, that's not true. I hope she still has this trainwreck of a wedding, as long as we get pictures. I'm perfectly happy for someone else to make a willing idiot of herself for my amusement.
I actually think it could very well be real. There are tons of people that actually do speak like that and there are also a lot of people that are into the whole bloody-and-scary-is-thrilling so it's imaginable that a person with the two combined characteristics exists. Every bride wants theirs to be the most talked about wedding and for her, this could be the way to achieve that and also have"fun" at the wedding.
I had a mother planning a sweet sixteen for her daughter balk when I told her the going rate in our area for a cake for 300. She told me she had someone who had told her she could get it for $90! At best she'd pay $200 for a REALLY fabulous cake. Her friend chimed in to say she'd had a cake for 400 people at a party thrown for her birthday and she was sure her friends hadn't paid more than $300 for it so ... Did I mention she wanted 3 or 4 tiers with roses cascading down the side?????
I can't stand that! If they already found a cheap cake elsewhere then why come and tell you about it. If it fits the "cheapo budget" they have then take it! Do they think that all of a sudden the price will magically change because they claim someone else can do it for peanuts, my gosh! These type of people irritate me. You're buying a cake not a car!
A $90 cake for 300 comes out to 30 cents a serving. You can't buy a Hostess cupcake for that.
No, that's not true. I hope she still has this trainwreck of a wedding, as long as we get pictures. I'm perfectly happy for someone else to make a willing idiot of herself for my amusement.
LoL!!
Ya know Deb_ thanks for that because everyone is always blaming teachers. Yes, there are teachers who go to work to collect a paycheck and keep their hefty benefits and add to that nice pension but there are others who really want to teach. And yet one day a student will go somewhere and say "you like mineS".
But really, OPs email, I can not believe it. Its so brutal. And Kiwi- you are right, cakewrecks is going to be running slow with all of us looking out for ms. greatgrammars cake!
You're quite welcome! I have a few teachers in my family and it boils my blood to hear people blame the teachers for stuff like this.
Parents need to take some responsibility for their child's education.

Where are those teachers teaching? Not here in Georgia, where I work for the schools, nor in NC where both my mom and I were teachers. Teachers are paid a pittance compared to other professionals, the benefits are a pathetic joke and the pensions are scarcely better than social security.
As for parents and the students needing to take responsibility, the blaming and mistrust of teachers, I completely agree with both of you! I could get off on a whole novel-length tirade on the subject, but I won't!
It just kills me how lazy so many people are when it comes to speaking or writing properly!
If I see a sign up in a business with spelling or grammar mistakes, I get the manager and explain to him/her why it is wrong and write down a correction for him/her. If it's still up and incorrect the next time I go in there, I might not come back.

Ha, I one called a local news station and told them that the crawl across the bottom of the screen was spelled incorrectly, and that it was "inclement weather", not "inclimate weather." About three minutes later it changed! I'm with you on pointing those things out, unless they're so bad they amuse me, then I just leave it alone.

I saw a still from a college football game. The players was majoring in Communications. The ticker at the bottom stated that he majored in Cummunications! I am sure his mother must be proud-- hehe!
one of my fav sites is lamebook and seriously, some of the facebook posts i simply do not understand what they are trying to say!
example: http://www.lamebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/tt2-19-3.png
i swear i need a teenager to understand this rubbish - seriously, the time and effort involved to type that badly, you might as well type it correctly and save the world the headache

Ha, apparently Brittany knows how to swear in texting language, too. She sounds like a delightful young lady.
Gothic Wannabee Does Not Equal Hillbilly
When we categorize customers, we are placing ourselves on the same level...for example: when you say these people are "hillbillies", you not only offend those of us who are from those areas, you weaken your point.
If you lived in KY, you would know that we have over 54 colleges, universities, and community and technical colleges. Lexington is ranked 10th (percentage wise)in the USA of cities with population of college educated citizens...so I take exception with you, as well as Diane Sawyer, in quantifying my state in this manner.
We have hillbillies with huge hearts who have jobs and some have no job opportunities; we have educated people with and without employment; we have those who have no additional education who are wealthy, and vice-versa...we have people who want a Christian wedding and others who have not Christ in their lives who get married in all sorts of ways...wedding cakes are eclectic! It is a joining of two...at least these people are getting married!
Please do not put all of us who live in a geographical area incorrectly in the same descriptive pot as your customers...I am a sixth generation educated person who is one of many from Eastern Kentucky...still raising her Kentucky family, baking/designing cakes, and loving "Cake Centralites", while NOT living as a "Gothic wannabee". None of us convey the description of your almost-a-customer who wanted a haunted house wedding cake. Our haunted houses are still inhabited.
...
p.s. we almost all bleed "blue"...go UK! (unless you live in Louisville and then you wear white on certain days and use a lot of red, black, and white on your cakes...hehehehehe...lovingly said for all of my clients who live there)
