Again.with the designer (wedding, etc) labels?
Once again…stemmed from a previous post…
Why do so many people think that if you have and/or want good quality things then your priorities are wrong and your marriage will fail/start off on the rocks??
Just wondering if anyone ever stopped to think that some people worked their tails off to get where they are in life and with their careers, and if they want the good jewelry and better wedding dresses, they deserve just that…
Just because one knows what good quality is (and, oh my gosh, likes it!!), does not automatically make them a materialistic person. Maybe it means that they were better exposed and have more life experience to know that all shirts/jeans/jewelry/art work/cars are NOT created equally.
If I was to write about having a backyard reception at my double-wide and have cigarettes and banker’s club as favors…which color should my plastic ware be? No one would make the judgmental remarks that they do if you bring up the high end items.
Why is wanting the best viewed as a bad thing? Would it not be ridiculous to NOT want the best in life?
I beg to differ. I think it makes you very materialistic. Why do you have to have the best wedding dress. It looks foolish if you pay a ton for a wedding dress that you are only going to wear once or to pay alot for the jewelry. In my opinion people just do that so that they can brag about how much they spent. I am frugal and very smart with my money. I want to get the most for my money especially with the way the economy is now. People like you don’t impress me in the least. Do you think that you are a better person if you have more money? That is what it sounds like. Get over yourself.
Personally, it doesnt make a difference to me at the slightest who wears what to their wedding. I don’t care if you’re wearing Vera Wang or a Garbage Bag…. not my decision to judge what people wear, and not in my nature to care either.
I don’t think you “deserve” name brand labels. No one does. It is simply a choice you made. It is your money and you decide how to spend it. If people’s comments are bothering you that much, maybe you are feeling guilty about something? Also your comment about trailers and backyard receptions makes you seem a bit snobbish. :/
Just because something is designer doesn’t mean it is automatically good quality. And just because someone lives in a trailer doesn’t mean they haven’t worked just as hard as you in life.
I do agree that a vast majority of posters on here are very judgmental toward the people who do choose to go higher end or spend more money on things. However, there is a line between being a skinflint and being ostentatious. There is common ground that people also have to understand.
Unfortunately, people are judgmental in this world. It’s sad, but true. Sometimes people are jealous of the nicer things that other people have but they can’t have, and to make themselves feel better, they have to put down the “haves.” As for myself, I work as a bridal consultant, I’ve seen brides walk down the aisle in everything from a $100 gown to a $15,000 gown, and you know what? Every bride I’ve ever worked with is deliriously happy on her wedding day. She’s marrying the man of her dreams, and it shouldn’t matter to anyone else but her if she’s doing it in a Vera Wang or a KMart special.
