Re: My morning gift...
Who just expects to have X amount of dollars for a wedding without having a conversation regarding the budget??
The same person that would be traumatized by every detail of her wedding
My Lunch Blog
I can't get past taking money for her wedding from her unemployed mother.
Currently Reading: Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
What else was she supposed to do imoan? Her father wouldn't pay for it - somebody had to pick up the slack!
Apparently her parents were supposed to give and sacrifice everything they had so she could have a pretty princess day.
I guess I just don't understand why she's so upset. I mean, sure the picture thing is annoying, and I'd be annoyed too, but complaining that he didn't gush enough over how she looked in her dress? Wow, what a class act.
Beautiful wedding does not equal expensive wedding. I'll never understand the thought process that you have to have an insane amount of money to have a beautiful wedding. We did our wedding for a very reasonable price, and it turned out beautifully. I did not need a lot of money to make my wedding pretty and I certainly didn't expect my parents to pay for anything. The fact that they did help me with the wedding was a wonderful gift, and I made sure they understood how much I appreciated it.
I can't understand why she would assume he'd help her, if she says repeatedly that he's not there for her. What makes her think her pretty princess day is suddenly going to change that?
I don't understand why she didn't hire a photographer. Because her father wouldn't let her? Huh?
And is it just me, or the does the pic in her siggy look professional.
Sigh. He sounds like a less than ideal dad, for sure, and I get that she's hurt by that. But she needs to start taking responsibility for her own life, too. He "only" gave her X amount for the wedding? Okay, pay for the rest yourself like a grown-up! Hire a photographer on your own!
The pretty pretty princess day should make everyone magically become some perfect individual.
Oops. That was me. Well, at least I can admit that I am a b*tch.
Her thread exploded on Relationships.
Yes, yes it did.
But in a much different way, I think.
I think I'm taking the situation too seriously. I don't think her dad did anything intentionally wrong at the wedding. I think that he didn't ride in like a white horse on her pretty princess day and it pissed her off. She probably has every reason to by angry with him for things like cheating on her mom, but I think that she is picking the wrong issue as her hill to die on.
But, I'm in a weird place right now when it comes to parents/parenting. I love therapy, its helping me deal with some issues about my parents, but right now they are a little raw yet. So maybe I'm the one projecting.
