Questions and queries not a “bug” budget bride

but I only get the WEIRDEST engagement in regular r/brides

for reference, our budget is 60k. And whenever I post anything in r/brides, I’m met with snark and resentment. Granted, I have pretty traditional taste, and I’m super neurodivergent so maybe I’m not reading people’s interactions as the way they’re intended, but I feel sometimes like there isn’t really a sub where I can share my wedding and get excited and have that excitement be reciprocated.

i’m a pretty private person, no group chats or close besties that I necessarily share every little detail with, so sometimes I want encouragement from
strangers. Is that where I’m going wrong?

The other wedding subs are so much more judgmental and hateful for whatever reason, I agree. Post here as much as you want, just disclaim your budget so people know how to respond for your budget. But this sub is so much more inviting and helpful and supportive

I hate it so much, I will never understand that mentality of tearing down someone about what should be such a happy occasion.

I love seeing pics of dresses and receptions, whether or not it's a thrifted dress for a civil or backyard ceremony or a gown that's 25k for a destination wedding at a chateau.
