I would pay as long as I could bring my video camera just to watch a meltdown. This is so weird it has to be real. Most people dodge bullets some dodge mortars or 155s. This dude dodged a MOAB
Oh wow; that is hysterical ... sort of. Except I think attitudes like that are becoming more & more common.
This whole: "It's MY day!" Thing is getting out of hand. She even said she wanted to be a Kardashian for a day? Really? Okay:
It's your day ... to get married. It's yourwedding day. That means it's his (fiance) day too! Yes; it's your day to be a bride. It's your day to look like a Fairy Princess but it is your fiance's wedding day too. It's his mothers day to see her son get married, it's your fathers day to walk his daughter down the aisle ...
As a woman who has been married twice & never got a wedding; I think she was insane to have alienated her guy over this. She could have had a beautiful wedding with supportive friends & family.
To me; having a wedding when you get married means that something important is happening. Something important enough for the normal day to day stuff to momentarily come to a halt. It means a potential spouse thinks enough of you to stand up in front of witnesses & say "I do".
It's a day of celebration, traditionally; because strong couples make strong families & strong families make strong communities & strong communities make strong societies.
I'll admit I stop & stare at wedding dresses. I wonder if I'd still look pretty in a wedding. I wonder if anybody will ever see me as important enough to stand up in front of witnesses.
I see picturesque places & think: "Wow, wouldn't that be perfect for ..." The little girl in me who never got her wedding day does still want to feel like a Fairy Princess just once. I would be sad that my mother did not live to see it, I would be happy that my 77-year-old father would finally feel that reassurance that I know he's always wanted (It's a devout Catholic dad thing: It's important to him).
I would literally flip burgers on a grill for my own guests if it meant having a wedding day & I think she was nuts to have acted like that, along with her dramatic exit attempt: "Goodbye cruel world ... I'm going to South America ... !" What was that all about, anyway?
I hope you get your day eventually. I love bride shows like say yes to the dress. I've dreamed of renewing our vows for our 10th but that didn't happen due to hub having cancer. I had already narrowed down gowns because I was wearing one again! Maybe for our 25th! lol
Hub never had a wedding with his 1st wife. My 1st marriage I was 5 months pregnant and in a maternity dress. 2nd one I had a 1992 dress where it was short in front and long in the back but I didn't consider it a bridal gown so for the 3rd I was beaded out, hub was in a morning suit. What a day! I wish Cypress Gardens was still around, it's Lego land now!
I don't think it's outside of the realm of possibility. My coworker was invited to attend a destination wedding which was being held at a rather pricey resort. So she and her (then) fiance decided to price out other lodging options that they could afford. They were also planning on staying for only two nights, rather than a full week like everyone else. They had their own upcoming wedding to save for, after all.
Well the bride became VERY upset because apparently the deal she worked out with the resort was contingent on all the wedding guests staying on-site for a week (something she agreed to without having firm RSVPs from all the guests). This simply wasn't possible for my coworker ... She couldn't afford a week stay at an expensive resort, plus airfare, plus blowing a week of vacation time. She did briefly consider a compromise where she and fiance would share a room with another budget-conscious couple for 3 nights, but was told that wasn't good enough. The bride insisted that they had to get their own room and stay the whole week. Coworker told her "I'm really sorry, but I don't think we're going to be able to attend your wedding." The bride went into complete a meltdown about how coworker was ruining EVERYTHING (we suspect that there were others in the same predicament, and the wheels were falling off the wedding completely, but for the full effect of guilt, she had to make it sound like everything hinged on coworker being there).
Coworker didn't attend, and the bride hasn't spoken to her since, nor did she attend coworker's wedding a few months later.
