I really wanted to say more but.......

I debated with myself that I am as free to express my opinions as anyone else --- but I have decided against putting all of my heart on the matter out there because there really isn't much of a point... I don't feel like arguing, and I know that no one else really wants to either ( Read more... )

Chloe, I'm really gald you posted that. I've been trying to find time to post my personal take on weddings, but I haven't found the time. The wedding that I went to this last sunday was really amazing. There's something truly beautiful about a really Christ centered wedding. I left feeling like God was glorified, the bride and groom had a blast, and that was one spectacular dance party. I plan to put together a whole spiel in rebuttle to said other posts, because I feel like my opinion is much different. I love you, you are amazing!

I'd hardly classify anything in my post as a "sweeping, unfair and careless generalization", nor would I classify my post as an "attack" on weddings. Weddings, as an idea and institution, are fine. I simply have a difficult time enjoying going to them most of the time and I presented my current set of reasons why they fail to thrill me.

I will therefore assume you're talking about somebody else.

If none of the comments applied to you, then no, I wasn't talking about you. ;)

And I did state that I can respect the reasons people dislike going to them. I had just noticed more posts that were anti-weddingish (or it seemed that way) than pro, and so my response was indeed referring to all of these posts in the sense that they were negative; the specifics, however, that I chose to highlight in my extremely brief reply were drawn from several, but not necessarily all, of such posts. I was only trying to put it out there that such negative comments about something others may care about deeply, can hurt. I am truly sorry for the offense if you feel your post was wrongly lumped into my response. I was not intending to offend anyone who gave their opinion, as they are more than entitled; rather, I simply felt the need to express my strong disagreement with the current statements.
