My wedding is a little non traditional. And some of my friends don’t like my dress or the colors I have chosen. Etc But it’s what I want. Granted I would feel bad if my photos were put on this site. All in all though when you break tradition and do your own thing there are bound to be people who disagree and don’t like it. I don’t care if anyone one thinks my wedding is tacky because I’m marrying the love of my life. As far as I’m concerned I am having the perfect wedding and if you don’t like it that is your problem
She looks happy in that photo. And if a dress I would personally never wear is what she wants oh well. I feel bad for her but she needs to say screw you this is the wedding I always wanted I don’t care what you think.

I’m an extreme lefty liberal, and Jezebel is really ridiculous. I used to read it, but it got really crazy. The purpose of writing any post there, for the writers and editors, is just to get page views and all the women who read it are trying to be holier than thou–unless it comes to judging a woman who is thin and masking their judgment by pretending they are concerned for her health and diagnosing her with anorexia.

I actually don’t read Jezebel. And I wasn’t being satirical. I genuinely don’t have a problem with people being judgmental, except for when they pretend they aren’t.

Stans, your whole post was filled with hypocrisy. You’re a Jezebel fan aren’t you?

Or…was it on purpose?? If so, your post was GENIUS as far as satire goes!

Hm. I guess you can say that people should just be happy to be in the spotlight, but something tells me that you wouldn’t want people ripping on your wedding. The site is definitely entertaining, but sometimes it is absolutely mean spirited and even you can’t deny that. “Tacky weddings” is one thing, but “ugly brides” is something else altogether. Additionally the woman doesn’t deserve to have her pictures stolen off her facebook even if it means she gets free publicity from it. I’m glad you recognize that what you consider tacky is not universal. From what I can tell your site just seems to be a collection of things you don’t like, which is cool, since it’s your blog, but you seem to hate and/or attack anything slightly outside of the box. I’m sure your wedding was a very tasteful, boring affair. That being said, I like gawking at other people’s choices just as much as the next one, I just don’t pretend it’s not hurtful. Really, I didn’t have an issue with this site up until I read this, which seems to be you pretending what you do doesn’t matter because people who differ from your concept of good aesthetics should be ridiculed and punished. Whoo! That was long winded. What I wanted to say was, accept that you have a bitchy blog. Don’t pretend you’re not judgmental person, otherwise you seem like such a hypocrite.

I’ve actually never even heard of Jezebel, nor do I plan on going over there. I’m quite happy right here. Thanks for the laughs! Keep it up!

Im a 24 yr old liberal woman and I used to love Jezebel but I got sick of the heavy handed self righteousness of it, not to mention hypocricy. Jezebel posts a daily section called “worst comment of the day” which I think is pretty patronizing. What is the point of that section? To shame a reader for their opinions if the Jezebel staff does not agree with them? When I posted a comment saying that I thought this daily section was a poor idea, I had my comment blocked and I was given a “warning” by the site administrator. I have since stopped visiting their site. Seriously Jezebel, stop taking yourself so seriously. And develop a sense of humor.

I love this website, and while I was a huge fan of Jezebel in the beginning, their tone has totally changed. Sadie Stein is one of the more clueless contributors there. This site is fun, and the above comments are totally right on; if you wear some of these bridal creations, you have to know (and like) what you’re in for.

I commented on Jezebel that I thought Sadie was overreacting. Yanna had an over the top wedding and she knew it. It was tacky, at the very least; I mean, when your bridemaids’ dresses are black and fuchsia and they’re the most restrained part of the wedding, you’ve got a ceremony to rival some of the travellers’ weddings. She then posted pictures to Facebook; of course, someone is going to get hold of them and spread them around. I was amazed the priest let her into the church in that dress.

hi. I came over from jezebel, I read it each day but I must say I didn´t like the article and I visit your site often since they linked it! I love it! keep on doing your stuff! I think if someone puts her weddingpics up on the internet, she wants people to see them…
great work!
