How come brides that have larger budgets get attacked on Yahoo Answers?
I have never attacked or thumbs downed a bride due to her budget. I also personally think spending 30k on a wedding is crazy, just because I can’t help but think of all the other things that could be done with that kind of money. That’s a new car, a house down payment, a college education at a state school, or if you really want to do something great with it, a lot of meals for hungry people, not a $125 plate per person meal for 200 guests. So to spend that amount of money on a few hours in one day of your life just floors me.
Anytime money is discussed, people get attacked. It doesn’t matter if they have no budget or if they don’t have any money at all. You think brides with no money don’t get attacked either? They get attacked constantly and told that they need to wait until they win the lottery or get a second job first because “you can’t get married with no money” when people do it all the time with no problem but they have to be more creative than the rest. What many fail to realize is that you can have a discussion (and ask whatever it is you want to know) and not bring up a single dollar amount. Everyone has their own priorities for their budget and many feel that everyone should have the same priorities. The current recession is not helping anything since many people have lost jobs and are unable to find new ones so they feel that anything extravagant or frivolous is a bad choice in these times when so many people are hurting.

I have never attacked brides with extravagant budgets, but their budgets and constant worrying over diamond size and one day while their relationships suffer disgusts me. As does the fact that in these trying times, when people are going hungry and are homeless, and every day there are more and more people without jobs, that they go about flaunting frivolous stuff. The idea that small budget brides are jealous and bitter is ridiculous. My fiance’ and I are PROUD of how much we have been able to do with such a small budget and DIY. We haven’t even crossed the $2k mark and we’re having a big wedding. We have friends offering their talents, DIYed our hearts out, and put so much of ourselves into this wedding that I can’t imagine anything being more beautiful or wonderful. The idea that brides with big budgets are the victims is equally ridiculous since I have been attacked more times than I can count in the year and a half I’ve been coming on here, when my budgetary ways became apparent.
