I'll apologize now, because y'all are probably going to get sick of hearing about wedding planning and what-not over the next year. Sorry

Jesus H. Christ on a fucking cracker! Okay. Do these people understand that they are in a severe MINORITY?! That for several MILLIONS of people in their own country (I'm assuming that they're from the US), that kind of money would be a massive improvement in the overall quality of their lives, and they're bitching about costs for a dress that, as you've said, they're only going to wear ONCE in their life?
Christ. If only we could all be so lucky.
Meanwhile...yeah. Holy shit. My adopted big sister and super awesome pal is getting fucking married. In a year. Goddamn. The mind asplodes. It's exciting, though, I gotta say. :)
Admittedly, the show is filmed at a high-end bridal boutique in New York City, and most of the dresses they sell are in the $3,000 - $10,000 range. Which is still staggering to me, but not in quite the same vomit-inducing way.
But yeah, the realization that as far as the average U.S. population goes, I'm still relatively privileged. $100,000 would change my life forever, I could comfortable live off of it for years, and you just dropped in on a dress that will be worn once and then spend the next 30+ years in a box. And that's the hanger price, before the cost of alterations, etc. I just ... it breaks my brain.
Still, yes, getting married in a year! Also, I get to meet my surrogate little brother in person in a year, if not sooner! :)
