I feel the same way, and I think you conflated my comment with a lot of other people being angry and caring a lot about this. I didn't even explicitly criticize the cost or extravagance, and you've read a lot into that. My point was mostly about the dissonance between his own framing of the event as a "natural" "sanctuary", and the rather un-natural reality of it. If he had said "we just wanted an all-out, spare no expense, Disneyland wedding," I would have moved right along. I thought it would be interesting to discuss, but I don't really care what he does, especially since he did make an effort to be socially responsible about it.
- bmelton 13y agoFair enough. For what it's worth, my own value judgements only allowed me to complain, but I couldn't quite get far enough along in even my own vitriol to actually downvote your comment. Apologies for unfairly representing your message. Perhaps I, too, was oversensitive to the subject - though not being a rich white guy with a history of opulent marriages, I don't know what specifically I reacted to.
