[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Def a bridezilla thing. Even when it’s your day, still not the center of the world. Kids are a part of the community. Folks have really gotten too precious about their expectations. [/quote]

I blame social media. [b]Brides these days don’t want to celebrate a wedding, they want to star in a social media event.[/b] I genuinely don’t think many of them care much about the meaning of the event. [/quote]
I just wanted to say this is such a shitty take. Women can care about the aesthetic of an event and the meaning behind it.

People have this mentality that any wedding more fancy than a backyard BBQ with $25 rings being exchanged is "all for show." And sure, that may be the case for some people who have fancy weddings, but not all of them.

Just saying it reeks of jealousy.[/quote]

Eh, it’s true, however. And that isn’t jealousy (weird take). Weddings are focused on social media outtakes these days. Sad but true. [/quote]

DP, and yes, it is jealousy. And insecurity with anything other than what fits into your own experience.

It’s the same as when someone invites you to anything more upscale than what you have, and you criticize it. “Oh, that weekend I spent at Larla’s cottage? I mean it was nice but it was hardly a cottage - too much new furniture and recently renovated. A cottage is supposed to be rustic. This one looked like it was made for Instagram so clearly Larla doesn’t care about comfort and only cares about aesthetics.”

Because every cottage YOU ever stayed at was rustic. That wasn’t what Larla wanted for her cottage, but she was nice enough to invite you. Go, or don’t go, but if you do go, say thank you and either way, skip the reviews of how it wasn’t “right” because it was different than what you’d do/your experience.
