Here is the original thread from the DW board:

I am somewhat shocked at some of the responses on here. It's a full on PPD frenzy over there. I had a DW in Australia with no guests, and in fact, it was more of an elopement because most people did not know about the wedding. Am I wrong for thinking the situations in the original post are PPDs? To me, it just screams "I want pretty pictures on a beach but don't want the fuss of filling out some papers." I think what's even worse is that some of these brides are not telling their guests.
