My Friday Rant

So, the other day while on Facebook I saw this status updatde:

"Watching wedding shows and these people are pathetic. If you can't afford to have a wedding go to city hall, have a keg in the backyard and a 6 foot hero instead of having a cheap looking wedding. THE END."

Really, REALLY?!?! It made me so angy! What is worse is that 12 shallow people liked it! The words are from some one who is young 22 and lives a very comfortable life. I thought this comment was extremely shallow. My response was "I think a wedding needs to be special for the bride and groom no matter how much money spent. Weddings can be special and beautiful whether you spend $10,000 or $100,000. To each their own."

I think it hurts me more because I know I am planning a wedding on a small budget. I don't really care how much it costs. The day is about the man I love and celebrating that love. It is not a show or a performance to show off how much money I have. I will admit the girl who posted this does not have a significant other. I wonder if one day her opinions will change on weddings and marriage. I've learned since meeting my fiance that love is not about a wedding. A wedding is only the start of a beautiful and magical life together.  I was so offended by the word pathetic! I wish comments like that didn't get to me. I hope the guests at my wedding will have a fun day and ultimately just be happy for the start of our life together and not be so focused on how much money is being spent on the day event.

HAPPY FRIDAY!
Enjoy the weekend. We are expecting our first storm of the winter. BOO!
