Who are these people? I've never heard of either one of them.

She should be ashamed. Do you know how many poor people could eat for that amount of money?

I dont even sleep in something that short.

So $43,000 for this rag for a marriage that MIGHT last for how many MONTHS. LOL

I wish the couple the best but do agree with Ally. In the state the world is in she should have been happy to marry in ANY dress and made a contribution to a charity for the poor. I could pay off my mortgage for that amount. Never would have considered spending exuberant amounts of money to get married. I spent $1000 including dress, tux, food, music, etc. have been married 28 years. Would have married him in front of the justice of the peace, I just wanted to be his wife!

Um... did I miss something? This story is about the wedding dress but they don't show a photo of said dress???? What the heck?

I just can see spending that much money on something that is worn for a day

Excuse me. I didn't read anything in here about how she robbed people or otherwise stole her money.

Why should she take on the responsibility of feeding the world's poor?

BUT? How do you know she hasn't already given ten times that amount to worthy charities.

When you start spending your money by committee then the rest of us will take a look at it.

Ridiculous. Imagine how many water wells that could have dug in a third world county, or pay for the concrete block dwellings they are building in Haiti.

My daughters both bought off the rack at David's Bridal. $99 on clearance, and I tailored them to fit. And I think that's STILL a lot of money for something you will wear only once. Better yet, get a local seamstress to custom-make your dress. You will get exactly what you want, in the fabric you want, a perfect fit, at a reasonable price, and help your local economy.

well despite what she spent on that dress, i think she looks wonderful in it. i guess if i had her kind of money, i would want to look like a million dollars on the most important day of my life too lol. you go gurl!!!!

WHO??????????? Never heard of them nor care about them
and her over the top wedding dress....... Boring news and
shouldn't even be printed..............

It's still her money and she may choose how she wishes to spend her money.

If you are tired of excess, then good for you. Do something about it yourself; donate money to charity, sew your own clothing, whatever it is that you want to do and hope to INSPIRE people.

Many of the comments on here are only critisisms. Complaining about something and trying to push your veiws on someone else only makes yourself seem bitter or petty. It's like those anti-fur people who make personal attacks on people who wear fur. They think they are trying to do good in the world, but by going about it in a selfish and petty way, they polarise people instead of bringing them together in a positive way.

Hope they are happy....but 43,000 bucks would pay off my mortgage and car.

Am I reading something incorrectly? I thought the article was about this = "the "tight-fitting, flowing cream" wedding dress reportedly boasted gold brocade and a lace-trimmed train."

She only married him for the money,if he worked a t walmart she would not even give him the time of day.

All this talk about this fantastic, expensive dress, and we don't even get to SEE it?!? Good grief, Erin Donnelly - get some common sense!

Also find it odd that the dress obviously isn’t the one in the picture.
I get wanting the finer things when you have money to buy them, but to me that amount is ridiculous for a dress that will be worn for one day.
For those saying people have no right to complain and that we should go out and do something about it, I DID donate & volunteer my time when I was financially & physically able to to a cause I cared about. I’m now basically neither of those anymore & might never be again at this rate. If you have that much money to waste on something so ridiculous than at least find a way to give it back since it will probably never be used again! A charity auction?
I think the guests donating instead of buying gifts was a great idea. They’re clearly not moving into their first crappy apartment as a couple that needs their friends and family to buy them dishes & towels.
