i'm feeling lucky that we didn't get this crap from a lot of people like many of you girls are. how rude can people get!!
what i usually say is "thanks for your input, however we've always dreamt of a DW and since it's our wedding that's what we're doing"
also, if you have out of town people at ANY wedding it's costly. We're spending a ton to go to a wedding in St Louis (From MN) for the weekend. For the price we're paying we could go on a short vacation to Mexico. So really, people can SUCK IT UP! Oh, and shut up too!
