I dont think LOVING weddings, and celebrating your day in a way you like. Yes, that includes your dress, centerpiece, flowers etc.. means that you arent apreciating the love and connection to that other person.
some people love carefully planned weddings, some dont. some would rather elope and all power to them!
but thats not me. and there is nothing wrong with that.
I love weddings and I cant wait to have mine because I LOVE the idea of celebrating that special day where I get to look at this guy and say "I love you and I will be with you forever and ever"
I love the perfect dress, flowers, location, centerpieces, and bridesmaids dresses. and same as I have respect to for people eloping or doing w/e it is they choose, Id like the same respect for doing it my way.
oh I do agree that ALL people should have the right to get married to the person they love. and I cant wait for that day to happen where EVERYBODY can get married.
some people might think.. money is better spent on other things. but thats just different interests. People are different and its ok, but I dont think its right to call somebody elses dream of their wedding "stupid" just because you wouldnt spend YOUR money the same way.
