Hi Everyone!

So JacJac pointed out to me earlier today that the guide to all the WW Community lingo isn't loading. (It used to be linked in the 'Welcome to the WW Community' sticky & thank you JacJac I can always count on you!)

When I looked into this a little further I was experiencing some issues so I thought why not create a new article where we can guide our newbies to all the abbreviations we use here in our forums.

So you know what to do. List some of the commonly used abbreviations we all use (FH, MOH, NWR, etc) and what they stand for and I'll create a new 'glossary' if you will by COB today!

Thank you for all your help ladies-- Happy Monday!

You're welcome, Leeor!

These are just copied and pasted from my response to the thread that made me realize the link was broken:

FH=Future Husband
DH=Dear Husband
FI=Future Intended
STD=Save the Date
E-pic/epic=Engagement pictures
RD=Rehearsal Dinner
BM=bridesmaid
GM=groomsman
BP=Bridal Party

I know there were tons I was forgetting though.

Lost on AYFKM, feel free to PM me...

PM: private message

Also, I want rubber bracelets now. I think WWRD would solve a lot of issues I've seen on these boards. Can also be swapped with WWMSD, WWMOD, and WWPD, off the top of my head. (Mrs S, MrsO and Pan, respectively.)

@D1, I hope people at least know the regular text speak, LOL!

@Leeor, I dunno, I won't be around forever then what sense will it make?

Also to add...

Bump: not an abbreviation, just means to "bump" your post back up to the top of the forums/front page.
