And saw the title and decided to add your irritated $0.02 anyway. Well done, you.

Did you really just come to a wedding blog to trash on brides? Get the fuck over yourself.

They are not broke really. Modest end of middle-class but not broke. They had servants for a start too. Each girl had a small income but it was not enough in comparison to the super rich Bingleys and D'Arcys. The provision of "x amount per year" didn't happen for most people. This is all relative.

The Bennets all went out without hats. That was basically saying in those days "i am poor and will probably have sex for food". The styling was a bit hit and miss I agree. Kelly Reilly wore spaghetti straps and kept her spray tan for some bizarre reason. It was like she was in her underwear for the era. Kind of…

Majority of people in the UK do know that black-face is offensive because we had black and white minstrel shows. I have called out Americans for wearing blackface and they had the same response. We need stop acting like people in the US are only ones that know that blackface is offensive.

The empire waist line thing pissed me off too! They changed the waist lines of Keira's dresses to emphasise her thinness and slender waist in a way that's fashionable and attractive now, but made no sense for the era! It was super eye-roll-inducing because they did that kind of shit on the one hand, and on the other…

" I do not want to poop on other people's dreams..."

Is no-one going to mention her completely inaccurate waistline throughout the whole film? No-one??

I also kind of hate Mr. Bennet because he is really mean and belliting to his wife and does very little to help his daughters find husbands, while being totally aware of what will happen to them if they don't. If I were Mrs. Bennet, I'd be freaking out about my daughters' futures 24/7 too!

I just remember really hating Elizabeth when she was being such a snot to Charlotte about marrying Mr. Collins. Charlotte was seriously approaching Old Maid status and her parents weren't going to take care of her forever. She was doing what was best for her and had a way more realistic view of marriage for the…

Your picking on isn't brutal, that's the whole point. It's irrelevant. Yep, weddings cost a lot of money, just like most things in our culture, and it's nearly all BS. So yeah, obviously, don't enslave yourself in debt if you can't afford to throw yourself a party, but if you can afford it, there is zero reason to…

I never really thought of the book as a love story anyway. To me, it was always about the shitty social realities women faced.

It's more emotionally fulfilling, because it used every romantic trope in the book - the ones that Jane Austen declined to use because they were romantic tropes even back in 1813. Darcy didn't propose in a downpour in a romantic ruin, he proposed in a crabby pastor's stuffy little parlor. She wrote scenes like that…

That weddings aren't just for straight ladies, so your ridiculous rant makes no sense.

Clearly you've never been to a gay wedding.

Or be an adult and acknowledge that some weddings carry religious, cultural, and family traditions that yours doesn't and keep your fool mouth shut.

omg you're so cool you don't care about weddings

Oh my god, yes. Her family was not wealthy, but she was a gentleman's daughter and would have looked like one. She was dressed and styled like a farmer's wife. I'm pretty up on my Regency England, and that shit was all sorts of wrong. I get that they were trying to show that she was different from other women of…

See I think they made the Bennets look too poor. They weren't poor. They weren't even lower middle class. Mr. Bennet was a gentleman and they could afford enough servants that the five girls didn't have to do any house work. I think the version of the Bennets in the BBC adaptation is more accurate. :) (Not necessarily…

It was just really bad. I mean obviously the whole movie was bad b/c accuracy isn't the most important in major movies but hers was really bad. There's no way someone of her birth would have dressed that way. Too plain and too cheap. She would have dressed as fancily as Jane.
