    I honestly agree with this ... I guess in the order of things/ events. In my opinion, it's smarter. It doesn't make sense to blow tens of thousands of dollars on a fancy wedding that's going to last for a day, maybe a week at most usually - though usually a day. And people spend A LOT on weddings! There's a reason why the wedding industry is doing so well. Where as, I think that realistically, it makes more sense to spend that money on more important things first. Like being able to support one another and build a future that both marriage partners can be a part of. And then maybe if you've covered all of that first and you have the extra money (that doesn't need to be saved for your children's education etc - if you plan to have kids) then HELL YEAH, throw a big wedding party. Of course, I'm not by any means saying that spending a lot of money on a big wedding BEFORE dealing with future costs is a bad thing. It's not. But I think that maybe switching up the order is freaking awesome and smart too. And I did think that it was a little ridiculous that Taylor had to explain why they did what they did and fend of accusations - I don't know her voice sounded a little anxious while talking and honestly, she shouldn't have to feel that way - also, not trying to victimise her.

      @@staciii Parents tend to have to pay for clothes, food and education for their kids. There is also insurance for the child. Parents are legally obligated to pay for kindergarten, primary school and highschool education for their child. Though children do skip highschool, but most children in first world countries are expected to go through primary school at least. So yes, parents are obligated to pay for education to a certain degree. Children are awfully expensive. 🙂 Most parents who really plan do try to save up these funds before the child comes along. Hence future education.

      Moon bear I’m sure you enjoyed your wedding but it just seems like such a waste to some of us. $10 000 isn’t cheap. Maybe compared to other weddings. But I would personally rather spend that money towards a honeymoon vacation or even towards a car or house.

      Oops! Correction the word is (ball and chain) in Canada and the United States when people where in prison (worse than jail) working outside they had a 30lb or 13kg steel ball with a chain handcuffed to there leg. This kept a person from running away easily. It is an odd usage for newlyweds but often used with couples that are in a bad marriage. Men say it for mostly sex. Women say it for listening, sex, kids, work, home, etc... Enjoy the quirks of language.

    Don't let anyone tell you that having a short engagement is a bad thing either. Our engagement was only 2 or 3 months long simply because of grandparent health, but it didn't take ANYTHING away from being married AT ALL! We've been married 4 years now, and hells yeah! Our actual wedding ceremony will be our renewal of vows. It's YOUR wedding! Were you two happy as all hell? All that matters!

    I'm going to be the one that says it: Those people that say that Taylor married Elbow-san for his money or for a visa are bloody rude. And those people that say that their wedding was "too small" or "not fancy enough" can shove it as well. It's not your wedding. It's not your money that they're spending. So you have literally zero say in how they do it.
    I think Taylor has a lovely wedding. Also, a wedding day is a celebration of happiness for the union of two people. It's for your family and friends to give you their blessings. The most important part are the days that follow- how you honour and love your partner. That's what matters.

    It's sad that people have made you feel like you need to explain yourself and the decisions you've made. I personally thought your wedding was beautiful and full of love. Which is all you need. Congratulations Taylor, me and my husband are so happy for you! 💜💜 you don't need to explain yourself to anyone.

    I love this!! My motto was “if we walk out married, any wedding is a success!!” What a special and perfect thing for you two. My husband and I honestly wish sometimes we had eloped and thought about it many times! . We had a beautiful wedding I don’t regret it but weddings can often feel like they’re not really about you guys (people were a mess at our wedding and we spent a lot of it feeling like people couldn’t make it not about them lol) and while we look back on it fondly still, we’ve decided at our ten year or something we’re going to renew our vows privately between us two so we have a special private moment!

  • @ldnroses
    @ldnroses 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Honestly as I get older I think that eloping is probably a good idea! Weddings are stressful, and I often hear the phrase that the bride and groom are not supposed to enjoy their wedding day! Because of the stress of everything going right etc. I feel like if you get married beforehand there might be less pressure! And with 2 cultures, I’d imagine maybe you’d also possibly have to organise 2 weddings or incorporate both cultures into the ceremony, so getting the important part (the marriage) done and doing the other things done in both of your own time is nicer I think!

    My husband and I opted for a small wedding (much to our families disappointment) and we have never regretted it. The only thing I regret is not eloping.

    I totally understand the desire to just get the wedding over with so you can move on to more important things, like starting a family. I was determined to not spend more than 10k on my wedding (almost everyone else I know spent at least 20k and that made me feel ill to think about), and we came in just under 9k in total so I was very pleased. We came out of our wedding completely debt free, and we paid for most of it ourselves, so we started our marriage in a really great place financially to save for a home and to start a family. I'm not shaming people who want big expensive weddings, but it makes absolutely no sense to me to waste so much money on what is essentially a fancy party when that money could go towards starting your life together. The marriage is far more important and valuable than the wedding.
    I've been married for a year and a half now and people still ask me if it feels any different or if anything has changed, but honestly it is exactly the same. My husband and I have been together for 4 years and we are best friends as well as partners. We always have been, so there is no difference for us. I'm glad it feels that way for you too, because I think it is a sign of a strong, healthy, lasting relationship.
    Anyway, congratulations to the both of you. I hope your marriage is filled with so much love and happiness, and I also hope that you guys start a family soon... >.> My hubby and I are trying for a baby, and it would be awesome to follow a youtuber who is going through the same thing! (But no pressure, obviously! lol)
