Talk about a tacky all-points-bulletin for a bridesmaid and a plea for funds!! Be on the lookout for an on-line request for dough to buy their first house!

I agree with Susan. This girl is tacky and the fact that she has been on a number of national news shows makes it even worse. If a couple has a combined income of $32,000 as this couple does, you really SHOULDN'T plan on spending $7,000 on a wedding as this couple is. Granted a $7,000 wedding is cheap, but there are better ways they could use that money -perhaps for their child.

Wait a minute! If you can CREATE a way to obtain something you've always dreamed of having, you shouldn't do it because others might think it's tacky,
a character flaw?

Do I detect a hint of jealousy here? Kelly is my hairstylist and she's often spoken of ways to have the wedding of her dreams.

I think for ONE day in each person's life, they should have what they want if they can CREATE it

Annie,

I don't think the above posters are jealous at all. I have to admit, I, too, thought this ploy was tacky, but then, nothing surprises/shocks me anymore.
I think, if anything one of them is being practical. A combined salary of 32 grand probably doesn't go too far, even in VA. I hope they go back to school and get an education, so they can make a good life for themselves and their daughter. It is never, ever too late to get an education.
