So I wanted to type a post just saying how much I love this community. Since I got pregnant I’ve been watching all the love and support here and it’s heart warming.

I recently joined wedding wire to get some ideas about the small wedding Hubby and I are trying to throw together in a shoestring budget, which I was feeling pretty confident about. MIL called yesterday and offered us 10K (!!!) for the wedding which is insane and I’m not super comfortable with it even though it would make things way easier. I asked this wedding community last night their thoughts and received over 50 comments laughing at me and telling me basically we weren’t having a wedding, 10K is still not enough for a wedding, there was no way to feed 40 people on $1,500, we were being selfish and our guests were going to hate everything and leave early... I literally cried. Then I tried to redeem myself one last time and explained that we have a free venue, a friend caterer, not a lot of expenses because it’s not a big deal, and then I got even more grief about how we shouldn’t even bother throwing a wedding like this because it was a slap in the face to our guests. I cried again, obviously, and then deleted my account. Because why the hell would I want to be a a part of that shit?

Anyway, I’m still so sad about the whole thing I can’t even think about the wedding anymore, but I wanted to share that this online community has significantly more helpful and supportive members than others 😪
