I see your point, I really do. I thought it was a tad over the top, too.

Fair enough. If I have that amount of money to spend by the time I get married, I'll probably prefer to use it for a down payment on a house or something along those lines.

Which part?

I was a bridesmaid at an incredibly lavish wedding once- I'm talking beautiful chapel in the woods, gorgeous designer gown, horsedrawn carriages for the family and bridal party, haute cuisine seated dinner, pricey custom wedding favors: the works.

Very beautifully put.
I'm terribly sorry that this horrific event has made you (and doubtlessly countless others) feel fearful. You don't deserve to live with the threat of violence, simply because of who you are and who you love.

Dreadful, terrible.
Going out for a fun night at the club and never coming home.
Being made a target of horrible violence because of the way you were born.
It's an absolute horror.

Thank you for sharing this.

So incredibly sad. May she rest in peace.
And may her family find peace as well.
Horrible.

Thank you once again for the crash course in American law.
This kind of thing is fascinating to me.

Interesting. I looked it up and you're correct.

Wait a second, the loser doesn't pay in American civil cases?

That's interesting, thank you for explaining.

While I agree that XOJane is even worse than Jezebel, I do think that the Jezebel commenting community edges out XOJane's in terms of awfulness.
