What is wrong with Wedding Wire?

CostumedBride · August 2013

I feel like a lot of those brides must be internet trolls or something. I posted about my Halloween wedding and was ripped apart and attacked about it. I cant believe it.

Yeah...You're asking us what's wrong with them...there was what..? 10 of them over there who "ripped apart" and "attacked" you becuase of this? A few already here disagree with you and more probably will. When 20 people feel one way and you feel the opposite, the problem is most likely you, not all 20 of these people.

Yeah sorry, but you deserve to be ripped to shreds for your comment about a 15 year marriage being "antiquated" and saying that you and your H may not even be together that long. If you and your FI think staying in a relationship forever is antiquated then why even get married at all?

You know, most marriages make it because both partners decide EVERY SINGLE DAY to love and remain with their partner.

Not because it's easy. Life isn't easy. Sharing your life with another person is damn hard.

There are days I wanna choke out my FI. And I get angry or hurt or whatever at him. But, I love him. And I -choose- to remain with him.

Also, the 'bridesmaid' slutty Frankenstein costume? Please no. I get that lots of people use Halloween as an excuse to let their inner slut out, and I'm cool with that, but, one, those "slutty" costumes are usually so cheaply made and such a joke that you'd be better off paying for a quality costume, and two, wouldn't it be MORE fun for bridesmaids to pick their own costume out.

I agree with the posters over there though; throw a Halloween party and dress up. Be common law married for the legal perks, but for goodness sake, stop pissing on our legs and telling us it's raining when you pee all over the institution of marriage.

I get wanting to do something "different" but have the party... Don't include vows if you don't intend to keep them.

Usually WW validates every idea, even the bad ideas. They're not even validating this one. What does that tell you?

Fran1985 · August 2013

Yes. They must be the trolls. Not you of course..

careful about the diy bridemaid mummy dresses- If I had a nickel for everytime I thought you could wrap your girlfriends in gauze and be good to go. also make sure you share any cute living dead poems you come up with for the money/bone dance.

Oh dear.

If you don't believe that your marriage will be forever then DO NOT GET MARRIED! Did you honestly think that anyone who is ready to make this life long commitment would validate your taking marriage so lightly?!

You know, normally it is Wedding Wire that is all nice and sugercoaty and the Knot that will tell you how it is. So if you didn't like what you heard over there, this really isn't the place to complain. If you post polarizing content, you have to expect people to disagree. It's that simple. I suggest you and your fiance get some marriage counseling to determine if marriage is the best next step.

RebeccaB88 · August 2013

I can't believe I'm agreeing with wedding wire, but... ugh... they're right.

Someone shoot me now...

MuppetOverlord · August 2013

Wedding Wire folks aren't the ones making me think about what's wrong with them in this case.

But I totally call Troll here.

erinr26 · August 2013

@CostumedBride It looked to me like they had no problem (for the most part) with your Halloween wedding, they took issue with your comment that you are getting married with no intention of getting to your 15 year anniversary. I am divorced, and having been married before can tell you that marriage takes commitment from both parties. If one or both of parties go into it expecting it to be easy or not to last it won't.

Edited for spelling

"I'm writing the whole ceremony. For that part it is "for as long as you both can endure". I think it sounds sweeter than mentioning death anyways!"

If I were a guest at your wedding and heard you say this, I would take my gift and leave after the ceremony. Your guests are there to celebrate the beginning of your lives together, forever, as husband and wife.

Just get married at the courthouse and then have a Halloween party with your friends. Do not invite people to celebrate some bogus marriage that was only put in place for financial and legal benefits.

If I were your guest and found out you felt this way about marriage, I would be pissed. I don't know you and I'm already kind of pissed at you anyway....

mercimarie · August 2013

Not to keep kicking this dead horse but...

Please please please don't get married if you're resigned to the fact that you'll get divorced. It makes a mockery of marriage and quite frankly offends me, when there are so many people out there who would do anything to be married (forever!) to their loves and can't.
