Taken from your link: > When something isn't good, you needn't pretend that it is. But don't be gratuitously negative. The comment you replied to is accurate and not gratuitously negative.
The OP said they wanted to cry and crying is reserved for pretty sad things. Seems over-the-top negative to me
I’ve got a different format - timeline style: https://www.09092018.com Let me know if anyone wants me to open source this :)

At a traditional indian wedding, you don't invite people. You tell your aunts and uncles and friends, and they tell their aunts and uncles and friends, and they tell theirs, etc, until you end up with 800 people at your wedding.
At $25-50+ a head for food and alcohol at reception alone, that is a huge number unless you come from wealth... However I think I read somewhere the average cost of South Asian wedding is $100-150k in California. Ouch.

I don't know anyone who uses fiancee in a gendered way; all my engaged friends refer to their future husband/wife as their fiancee (though, granted, I'm probably not as old as many here who are already wed so I might just be out of the loop). Google's definition of fiancee seems to offer both wife-to-be and husband-to-be as synonyms as well, so I'm not really sure the parent's sneer is really valid in this case.
Apparently the number of "e"s matters and one means male and two means female. In practice, I highly doubt anyone actually knows or cares.
I really would like to believe that was the case, but here we are in this dreadful thread full of outrage and grammar pedantry.
I especially love this photo [1], I wish that style of formal wear was more common in America.

This is bad and nobody is required to pretend otherwise. Sensitivity to a critical opinion doesn't make the opinion a form of attack or hostility.
Cool project! Was this collaboratory between the two of you? I especially love this photo [1], I wish that style of formal wear was more common in America. [1] https://wedding.rampatra.com/img/eng_pics/NGP_4089-lg.jpg
Without that iPhone, that photo could be from anytime 1950-2020!
