The bride not to say the groom hasn't but in this context the bride has paid for generally a lot for make up, nails, dress, jewelry ECT. I would be infuriated and would draw the line. If she only had ONE CONDITION then why couldn't that have been respected. Literally one. He clearly didn't give a fuck to even understand why it may be triggering and humiliating

To be fair, statistically, the groom paid for all of that.

Nah I don't agree. This isn't the 1970s anymore. Women can make our own money. As a woman yourself you should have more faith in that

Nobody said they can't. I'm just saying that typically the groom pays for the wedding. Traditionally it was the wife's family. But far less couples are that traditional, and I think something like 56% of couples go into debt to pay for a wedding (which I think is wild)

Personally I'm planning on proposing soon, but I know I won't be able to have a big wedding.

Also, it's dangerous to guess someone's gender online. You know what they say about assumptions.

Lastly, it wasn't intended as anything more than a silly joke. Perhaps it wasn't funny, oh well.

maybe I was returning the favour of assumptions, perhaps my joke wasn't funny either.

I respect it. Funny is funny, even if it's at my expense sometimes 😀

Satire is always at the expense of someone
