[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the pp you quoted!

My grandparent are German, born there, lived there, died there. My parents? German. Born there, still living there. Me? German. Born there, came here 5 years ago, fell in love with the country, the people and it's traditions!!!!! So don't you call me ignorant or selfish.
I'm an immigrant, I decided to live here cause I love it here. But ai know while I can hold on to some German traditions, others I can not. 
Sure, I can still celebrate Christmas on the 24th, but can I get angry and call everyone in this country irgnorant, selfish, close-minded and disrespectful when they don't?!! 
NO!!

You need to learn a lot and grow up!!!!![/quote]

Fellow German here... so you seriously suggest that someone who wants to have her culture and values respected needs to move back to their own country?! Such nonsense from a fellow immigrant really makes me cringe.

I am by no means a fan of OP, but some of you all blew this way out of proportion DCUM-style. Are you American women seriously telling me unanimously that she should just get over it and that it's no big deal? So many of my American friends planned their wedding like they envisioned it when they were little girls, typically for months and months ahead with lots of money involved. I am very sure they would have been devastated if their bouquet disappeared on their dream day. This isn't so much a cultural thing as it is the sentimental value of it.

Go on arguing about it, I don't care. But please don't make this into a discussion about who gets to stay in the US and who doesn't. [/quote]
