If you are already cutting out a lot of traditions (and the associated costs they incur), maybe you can let the one thing she wants (a bridal dress) slide? You both still want it to be memorable and fun, right? I agree with IndianJoan that you don’t want her to have any resentment or regret.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, too.

Interesting. You sound like one of the racist assholes you speak of.

It takes articles like these for the inherent racist in the Jez commentariat to come forth.

The interesting thing about Jez and the majority of its commenters is that they exhibit zero self awareness when it comes to these sad stories in other countries.

Interesting that acid became so highly regulated that men had to resort to guns to injure and kill women in the West.

Yeah, just like gunning women down is a “Western cultural phenomena.” Amirite?

Oh brother. Please tell me you’re kidding.

Thank God in the West we only have to worry about MRA nut jobs like Elliot Rodger, Ben Moynihan, John Russell Houser, etc gunning women down in cold blood.

what is that?

You’re trolling the feminists about as hard as she is. Sod off, the both of you.

Her career would be like Mandy Moore’s, if not for that show.

Abortion does not shorten the pregnant woman’s life nor does it cause breast cancer.

Nope.

It’s not “these people” it’s the only male judge. But I agree, gross.

You’re an idiot.

She’s a normal looking, older woman. Oh the horror!

Forget grandma, that’s a person. She doesn’t get more value, by virtue of having a family.

I really hope some idiots don’t try to abuse this kind gesture.

It’s ridiculous. I don’t understand how she can accept having a career span from ages 18 to 30 in Hollywood, while schmucks like Adam Sandler have endless (endless) careers.
