I have recently had 2 of my daughters married. One was poor as a church mouse and bride and groom families pithched in for the wedding, It was beautiful, she looked wonderful, had her sister and a special cousin as bridesmaid. Low keyed and wonderful.
Her older sister was married a year later. Her fiance had significant funds and paid for the wedding. But while it was bigger, as far as guests, and an awesome band played, it was still a family affair.
i guess my point is, money, no money, a wedding is about inviting your f friends and family to celebrate, with you,a special day in your life. It is your day, but to think it is all about you is selfish. I am proud of both of my daughters, one with money to spend, one without, but the feeling in both weddings was the same. Both girls were happy to have family and friends there to celebrate with them.
I think Angela is way off base. She isn't celebrateing her union, she just want everyone to focus on her! This is entitlement, and it is out of control. A wedding should not be all about the bride. A wedding is about a joinng of souls, a celebration of this with your family and friends, Yes , you chose your dress, the food, the flowers, but in the end, your guests don't remember this. They visit with friends, like to eat well, eon't remember what yout bridesmaids wore. But they came to celebrate your new life, not your dress, or bridesmaids maicures.
I have a problem with entitlement... where is this worlf going
