Oh, My, Gosh! Is this ever a scam with a capitol S or WHAT!
The post was bad enough, but, for the `mommy` to come on here with a post & `ooze` all over the keyboard like that? PUHLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!
Readers-BEWARE!!! All the couple is doing is trying to get something for nothing! Cash, mostly!
I cannot believe you all fell for this big, fat con!
How can someone come on here & have the nerve to ask for
Money, help, etc(believe me-they would rather have cash! Because there more than likely is NOOOOOO wedding!)when
Brides-to-be are so strapped for cash for their REAL weddings already!?
Anyway, this con, scam, whatever you want to call it is so obvious & so rude that I am seething right now!
Just remember to think before you act on things like this. I would NEVER send cash to a stranger. I would never give them goods or merchandise without checking them out first!
This couple probably doesn`t even have kids! Everything in the post is more than likely a lie. Probably everything in that post is a lie.

Attention Jeremy`s Girl!! First of all I can certainly appreciate your concerns. The truth is my children really did write this. I do have some money to work with. I am offended by your accusation. Unfortunatley My fiance and I are having some stresses in our lives and they (my children) are feeling it. This is certainly not a scam. I do not want money from anyone. In fact People have e-mailed me with wonderful advice thats helping me plan my wedding in-expensively. People leave messages on the message board in hopes to plan there wedding with out all of the unnecessary remarks you`ve made. I do not know about anyone else but I have no-one to help or give advice because most of my family depends one me. So it`s nice to know that I can at least get advice from the people that have responded. This has truly been a blessing. I have not asked for any money and have not been offered anything other than helpful advice. I have noticed you`ve had negative things to say several times on here. As I said I can appreciate your concern but there is a more tactful way to get your point across with out the imature remarks. As for the nice person that asked the kids not to give our address out, GREAT idea. I am thankful for that!! I wans`t aware that my children even knew how to look up things like this until I checked my E-mail one day and saw the responses from there message they left. Again, thanks. As for Jeremy`s girl, God bless you, I will keep you in my prayers.

Thats true. The Kids never asked for money! only help.
Any advise is good advise. And helping out some one who doesnt have the luxury of surplus in cash just lying around is great. We should all help make weddings affordable and nice.

Christina, dont worry about people like JeremysGirl.
Your wedding will be perfect. Your kids seem wonderful.

I just want to say to JeremysGirl, giving is more than you make in out to be. When I give to someone, scam or no scam it makes me feel good inside and I am touched to know there are others that feel the same. People with a heart!!!!!!!!!!!! The joy a person feels from giving to someone in need is a very powerful and wonderful feeling. Mabe someday you should try it and than maby you wont be so rude. Even if you wanted to just warren us you could have put it a little nicer and had a little more heart for Christina and her children. Mabe your wrong and just maby your rude behavor really upset someone. So next time you diside to be so smart maby you could use your head an think a little be for you speak if that`s not to hard for you to do.

And to Christin, I`m am so sorry that there are people that are so mean that they want to bring other people down. Most likely that person has there own problems and are just looking for someone to take it out on. Dont let people get you down. Your children sound wonderful, thank God ever day for them, which i`m shore you do. Never give up hope. God Bless you and i`ll be praying for you and your family. I hope you wedding is everything you wished it to be and more.
