The worst wedding ever!

I have been to some sketchy weddings in the past few months and have also been to a very nice one as well.

I honestly don't think people see their planning/or actual event as bad if it turns out that way.

I have even heard of a bride and groom having alcohol for themselves but not for their guests! I am thinking that is pretty low on the etiquette scale.

I hope princess LisaLee reads that.

@LisaLee I'm pretty sure everyone can afford a wedding. A marriage license is less than $50 in my state.

Centerpiece be like...

CP is back at it again with her well written and elegant savagery

Centerpiece! I think you need to publish a book!!

O&L she's an author! Already done!

I am soooo far behind here.... I have no idea what is going on... lol

My response to Lisa Lee;

"The answer to all of this is simple, Lisalee (or should we refer to you as Mother Theresa?)

You have the wedding you can afford. If you have 200.00, you can have a JP, a clerk or a judge, and take your two witnesses out for nice little lunch. You don't invite 60 guests, expect them to travel and then give them water and salad.

Your ire is misplaced here, and you come off sounding arrogant and privileged while chastising others for DARING to point out bad hosting at a gold standard level.

No one 'deserves' a wedding of a certain style; not you, not any given person here, not any given person living in any given place. If you're so concerned about the financial inequality of the wedding industry, maybe you could scale down and donate all the money from your black tie wedding to some non profit; maybe one that provides clean water to third world kids.

But that's not a possibility is it? It's like my Buddhist friends who won't get to the point of renouncing all their earthy good.....because they can't live without them."

Stop flagging.

People come to this forum, theoretically, to ask for advice when planning a wedding. There are a million variations on that theme.

But please don't come here, carry on about your "black tie wedding because we can afford it" and then take up the cause of 'the little people". Yes, the arrogance of your post was palpable.

Do what you can afford, and champion those who don't have your resources in entertaining their guests in a way that is gracious. Not a bowl of lettuce, a glass of lemonade and a bolt to the door with the gift cards.

Hey AthenaKay! How's it going?

I'm just here for the comments.

BTW, I'm not American, we Canadian girls can throw down and be bitches with the rest of you, we just say eh, and eat poutine while we do it.

Damn Centerpiece!!!! That was one fine piece of work! Very enjoyable read!

Props to Centerpiece for the use of "abomination" as a descriptor. Accurate and pithy.

@ The Centerpiece Flowers for the WIN

Centerpiece = goddess.

LisaLee = ...

@ Centerpiece:

Haven't been on in days, but for 2 minutes last night. Nice to see EW hasn't changed, and her little white Knight army is adding to their ranks. Barf.

@JessieJV - Hey! It's going well. I thought I would pop in to WW this afternoon and wasn't disappointed

Athena it has been too long!

Please keep commenting....work is boring today.

Yes, long time. You guys can catch me up on what's been going on in WW land.
