It seems some people out there don't have a sense of humor. As if anyone would seriously want to use Dead Kennedy's as a wedding song. Well, maybe there's a couple of hard core punk rockers out there that might, but that's for them to decide.
It's amusing how anonymous people aren't so anonymous on the internet as they think. I like how they feel ever so safe in trying to leave an unpleasant comment here thinking I can't figure out who did it. The thing is that little box to the right that shows how many people have read this blog doesn't just count. It logs information too, IP address, where you viewed the page from, how you got to the blog and where you went afterwards.
It's not 100% proof that "you" did it, but I have a very good idea though. Not that I really care considering that persons family background and over all attitude.
I suppose I could waste my time on their Canadianbride forum trying to explain things to them but why? After reading the six pages of gossip I doubt anything said would make any impact on them. Especially since I have an idea who the loudmouth is behind it.
As for not appreciating the first donation? Who says we don't? The fact we spoke to the contributors privately and thanked wouldn't matter much to the group of biddies over there.
You can think what you want on your forum, but shut the hell up here. I'd ask you to stop dropping your comments but I'm sure that would be tacky.

What's left to explain? you can't afford a wedding so you're asking for handouts. *shrugs*
Some people are likely just jealous that they don't have the gonads to ask for help when its needed and therefore label it "tacky". Maybe they're right, maybe they're not. Who's to say what's acceptable and who is anyone to judge anyone else for their choices? Weddings are a choice, as one bride to be pointed out, and so is asking for help. If anyone feels guilted into contributing, I think they should keep their money in their pockets, you and your FW won't be hurt by it right? It's not guilt your looking for it's cash. zing! ;o)
The wedding is only one day, a marriage is supposed to last a life time, hopefully yours does.
Congrats!
Did we ever say we couldn't afford it? Based on our earnings we will have about $4000.00 squirreled away for the wedding. It's not much but it's enough for a small simple wedding.
As for the tuxes? I contacted the folks asking what it would cost to have them made or to order enough fabric to get them made here. They said they'd do it for free.
The dress? Well what bride doesn't want people to see what she likes? The fact someone chose to spread some karma around and offered to buy it? That's a bonus for us, just like the tuxes.
That saves us a big chunk of change that can now be focused on other things.
Asking for other paintball sponsors? Well why not? The wedding is paintball oriented and we going to promote paintball as a family game in a big way. If some companies can see the potential in that fantastic, extra paintballs to play with, maybe some product to give away to attendees, maybe some $$ to help offset our costs! If they choose not to, no skin off my nose.
Everything in this world is moving towards commercialism. Why not a wedding?
i dont like how people cant get it into their heads that you dont need money-youre just accepting wedding gifts. and as to the person that said that your in trouble because of financial probems-that just rubs me the wrong way. first-what buisness is it of theirs your financial situation? all they should care about is that you're accepting donations and have been fortunant enough to have your wedding dress and tux paid for. secondly, i've had my fair share of financial problems while living with my recently turned wife, yet we've held strong for the three years we've been together. marraige is about loving each other no matter what. call my 23 yr old butt old fashioned, but i thought you were supposed to get married because you love each other no matter what problems come up. just from seeing the little you guys tell us on spec ops, even i can see that love isn't an issue with ya'll. i hope your wedding turns out to be all you hope for and then some.
