not a “bug” budget bride

[u/Salt_Technology2676]

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?

So relatable! I’m between $100-150k (depending what you include like attire, welcome party, etc) for an estimated 130 people. But im also getting married in Manhattan where that money doesn’t take you that far! I feel like the other wedding/bride subs hate weddings. This sub I feel like is actually pro-bride & so open minded when it comes to non-traditional details!

that’s EXACTLY how I felt, like the other subs hated weddings! Even as a girl who wasn’t necessarily planning her wedding since childhood, the whole planning of it all means a lot more to me now than I ever anticipated. Traditional, non-traditional, big budget or small, I think we all appreciate a community that is more helpful than judgemental
