Weddings Expressed

It seems there are people on here that feel the need to ask what everyone is spending on their weddings and then insult them over it. I mean, if you’re asking an actual question about how much something would cost to get a gauge of what you’re up against, fine. But, why do I feel like some people ask just to make themselves angry or prove a point that we’re a bunch of idiots?

My budget is $10,000 for the entire wedding. I’m spending more on entertainment because I want this to be a great night out for everyone, and I’m doing a ton of stuff myself to save where I can. But, I’m not about to be angry because someone else is spending $150,000. Hey, whatever floats your boat! I also don’t care if you want McDonald’s catering your reception.

There are people here planning their weddings from all over the world. The cost is obviously going to be greater in certain areas & it seems like some people don’t get it. Why all the hostility? Wedding or not, planning an event is expensive.
I am by no means throwing money around for nothing. 10k is too much? For the ceremony, the Officiant, the florist, the food, the alcohol, dress, bridesmaids dresses, jewelry, shoes, the tuxes, the cake, the DJ, the favors, the photographer and the other 1000 details . . .
Oh, and the invitations, the programs, the menu cards, wedding rings . . .
I don’t have parents who are paying for the wedding. My fiance & I are paying for everything ourselves in cash and are not getting into credit card debt.

That’s a really interesting point. I don’t see a problem with people asking what everyone else is spending . Maybe they just want to gauge if they are spending too much or maybe they are just curious.

What I do have a problem with is people being critical of those who spend more than a few thousand dollars. Fizzy said it perfectly – spending LESS on your wedding does not mean you are more in love or more virtuous than those who spend MORE. It does make you sound like a total a ss however.

I’ve almost stopped using Answers because of all the judgemental brides who give everyone lip or a thumbs down for expressing their opinions or for simply telling the truth. Unfortunately I’m addicted to this site and I just try to take the bad with the good. Thanks for posting this question, I’m glad I’m not alone on this.

Let me tell you something–when my brother got married, the bakery there were going to get therir cake from had a fire 2 weeks before the wedding. They had to get a cake fast. They went to Safeways’ bakery and bought their cake there. It was absolutely GORGEOUS and it tasted great too. The best part–it cost about half of what the other bakery was going to charge and it was a bigger cake. Had that not happened to them we would have never known that Safeway did a really great wedding cake.

I am 5’5 1/2 and 108lbs , small frame, what type of wedding gown goes best for my body type? Thanks for any help.

I think that this is not something for an individual to tell you without seeing things on you. Also I think that your own style has to be a factor as mine may be different from yours, but I will give you my opinion. I think that a strapless gown or ooff the shoulder would be my first recommendation. Second would be spaghetti strap style. Being that you are small I think the bigger the gown and the more material would overwhelm your figure. Good luck and congratulations!

I was part of a company (Biz-A) who offered DJ, photo & video. I left the company and continued to use the materials from Biz-A to promote my new company (Biz-B). The materials I’m using were from clients that I booked for Biz-A and are pictures and video me entertaining those clients. If the client in the videos & photos from Biz-A agree to allow me to use their videos & photos to promote my company Biz-B, can I be liable for copyright infringement? Does the company who took the photos/ video own the copyright or does the client who paid for their services. In the contract the client signed, it does not state anything about the company owning the pictures. Thanks.

"In the contract the client signed, it does not state anything about the company owning the pictures."

It doesn’t have to. The copyright to a photo or video belongs to the person who took it UNLESS there is clear contractual language to the contrary. That’s why wedding photogs do not put "we own the copyright" into their contracts, so that the client doesn’t argue about it up front.
