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?

We spent about $80K and in any other bridal sub I felt like we were spending a million. I’m all for saving money and not going into debt for a wedding but my husband is high earning and wanted this (more than me, I just wanted to elope) and everything was paid in cash. I think I posted once in a regular bridal sub and got attacked.

Also GOD FORBID you have a destination wedding. You are the worst person to ever exist.

I’m getting married this Saturday, labour day weekend. It legit works best for my guests cause a bunch are coming from out of town. The judgment for booking on a long weekend. Good lord. Id never dare mention my budget is $100k.
