Neighbor's wedding.

Do these people know you’re posting their photos on the internet?

View Quoted Comment Yes, of course! I asked their permission.
Please only post positive comments...

Wow this is gorgeous

She looks gorgeous!

Awe it looks like they’re happy!

That’s what matters the most Honestly when you mention “Extravagant” I picture something entirely different. Like a horse and carriage, couture gowns, really expensive like above 30k etc. But we all have different perceptions. To me their wedding looks modest.

To each their own There are definitely a variety of traditions and ways to get married nowadays.

If you don't want any negativity why did feel the need to say it wasn't her personality? Did she see that part? If someone posted my pictures and made a comment like that and I found out I would be upset...just saying.

View Quoted Comment Hi Marisa!

Actually that is an inaccurate assumption.

My family is and has been working class. My parents didn’t graduate from high school and worked in factories. Although both my parents are technically “retired” they both still work part-time jobs. I just see what other people can afford and the types of weddings that are out there

View Quoted Comment I didn't mean to offend. It was a suspicion. My parents didn't even finsh middle school and my dad is illiterate...

LOL again you didn’t offend me by any means

View Quoted Comment Do you have any ideas of hoe to carry out your vision for your special day?

View Quoted Comment

How do you mean?

View Quoted Comment Do you know if you want a beach wedding? Backyard wedding, etc? I didn't creep on your profile so I had no idea, so I figured I would just ask.

Oh ok, that makes sense!

Ultimately our plans have shifted because of Covid and because my FMIL’s health is not so good at the moment. Originally we were planning on a smaller wedding, even before Covid, because of what we knew we could afford, the type of wedding we wanted to have for ourselves and everyone else. Fundamentally the elements that were most important to us was to put everyone else first and to be inclusive of them in our day and even the ceremony. Like for instance we wanted to have everyone bless our rings by passing them and setting an intention, to bring flowers to our altar and place them rather than having it formally decorated, and one of the meditations I wanted to include is a Meta Meditation which extends Meta and Love not only to us but to each person present. We also wanted to treat everyone to a really nice dinner party and have really good food. And keep everything local so it would be convenient and easy on everyone. To us it is really about the people in our lives who brought us to where we are in our lives and to each other. We had this planned and reserved at an Airbnb that we were going to accommodate our parents for the weekend.

Now we are planning on “eloping” or doing a very micro wedding in the park with our parents around our original date this fall, and then postponing / rescheduling a vow renewal and celebration in the Spring. We are looking at another venue for the Ceremony to reserve for the afternoon/evening as we’re not sure this will all pass until the Spring entirely that it would be safe or wise enough to host people overnight. It will cost a little more than we expected but we also have 10 more months to save and we should be able to pay for everything without using credit or taking out any debt.

Does that help answer your question?

How about you? Are you planning a wedding? Or are you on here on someone’s behalf?

I don't think you should be posting someone else's wedding pictures, with their faces in them no less, on a public wedding forum. I would be pissed if someone did this. These aren't your photos to share.

View Quoted Comment I completely agree. And even if you say they told you it was okay, I'm sure your neighbor didn't think you'd be negative about it. "Extravagant and didn't scream her." A wedding is a wedding. And compromise is part of it. It's beautiful.

View Quoted Comment Wow, I can't believe making a comment to encourage brides to not make decisions based on what others want (who are not paying) would be positive. I'm sorry you felt triggered.
