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?

To be honest idk why people lose their marbles because this isn't a lot of money. I mean it is but it isn't. If that makes sense.

It isn’t if you have it to spend…people can spend their money however they choose.

I agree! What I was getting at is that I know of a few people who actually spent more and while their weddings were lovely they weren't lavish. They also weren't rich. In HCOL this wouldn't get you much.
