I didnt like my wedding day - how to cope
Comments

Ha ha! I'm enjoying this thread.
What went wrong at our wedding... nothing, apart from the slight problem that nobody told the band that we were not having the traditional first dance. As a consequence they struck up and my wife had to do the dance, cringing, with her uncle. I'd gone off with some mates driving around the fields in my Land Rover.0 -

Do me a favour. I treated that obnoxious, condescending, and arrogant post with the contempt it deserved. Bragging about how much money they've got, and how just because other people are poor, that isn't THEIR problem. Charming.
And on a website that has 1000s of people struggling to pay their bills. Nice. And like I said, how lovely that she and her husband clearly have more money than sense. And save the 'inverted snobbery' and 'you sound jealous' comments. I literally cannot be arsed.
The fact that you defend her, says more about you than me.Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

How nice for you that the 'feedback' was so good. I am sure you feel so good about that. I mean, God forbid that someone said something negative. That would have been devastating.
And how lovely that you are not in the same boat as many others who cannot possibly even think about spending 20 grand on a wedding without going into debt.
Glad you had an amazing honeymoon, and I hope you enjoy your amazing future in your 'big family house.'
By the way, we spent a grand on our wedding, and had 25 people there. And I bet a billion pounds that it was as good as your day AND that people enjoyed it as much. (Possibly more.
)
Your post comes across as though you're bitter? If people want to spend a certain amount on a wedding and they aren't robbing a bank to do it, what's the problem?
Feedback to my wedding was great also, as it probably is to most weddings, is calling it 'feedback' an issue? I'm sure he was just meaning what people said to him, not that he handed out a scoring sheet.Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....0 -

TBH you're being the obnoxious one here. why are you so bitter?Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.0 -

I couldn't give a rat's a$$ about someone spending a fortune on a wedding. But the fact that they chose to share it on here, with the snide way they talked about people who DON'T choose to waste a fortune; that was sanctimonious and arrogant.
So save your 'you sound bitter' comments. I'm not. I had a lovely wedding withOUT spending a fortune and then crowing about it. But if it suits your agenda to think that I am 'bitter,' then carry on.Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

I didn't find the post obnoxious, condescending or arrogant, just someone explaining their situation which is different to yours and the OP's. If someone has £x grand to spend then why shouldn't they? It's their money, their choice. When faced with strangers telling them it was a waste of money, they have every right to defend their choices.0 -

Well I DID find it obnoxious: VERY obnoxious. Bragging about how much money they spent whilst underhandedly looking down their nose at people who spend very little, knowing that people are struggling financially on here.
I am quite within my rights to say what I like about the post. It's called having an opinion. If someone posts on a public message forum, they have got to accept the fact that they are not always going to get answers they like.Proud to have lost over 3 stone (45 pounds,) in the past year! :j Now a size 14!

I'm spending very little on my wedding, and yet didn't take offence at the post you mention. I think it's more about your attitude than Idiophreak's. You do have to accept the answers you get on a public forum, you clearly don't like the ones disagreeing with you.0 -

I don't think he did. Otherwise if I had of felt he was looking down his nose at people who had a small wedding/didn't spend very much, then I would have had a problem with that too. But he didn't, nor did he brag either.
My small wedding was perfect for me, your small wedding was perfect for you, why can't idiophreaks wedding have been perfect for him? What happened to live and let live? I agree that people spending stupid money and getting into debt is just plain dumb. But if you have the money and that's what you want and the money isn't earmarked for anything else, then why on earth not?0
