Hooray for The Detroit Reception Challenge

When I get married there is one rule for All of my guests. No pictures & videos until after the couple's 1st dance.
  • I want people to have & enjoy an experience with their eyes only.
  • Everything doesn't have to be recorded by Everybody
  • You have no control over what people do with videos, even the ones your image is on.
But what about random onlookers? The answer should be obvious. Go read THIS article. A woman riding around Detroit passed by and saw a wedding set up on a front lawn. She loaded her pictures to social media and it was shared over 1,000 times aka It went viral. A radio station found the couple & found out they trying to save some money because of their young daughter's (who was in the hospital) medical bills. The radio station raised funds and couple had another wedding event at another venue.

As a single woman, I am mindful of not to hurtfully, make fun of any wedding. Trust me I have seen & attended some weddings that were not pleasing to my judgment. Who hasn't? Also, Every wedding has something humorous in it. But I don't participate in trashing them on the internet. Everyone deserves the wedding of their wants and that their life & bank account can handle. No one should have to know the backstory of the event for people on the world wide web not to call it "ghetto" or a "hood wedding".

We pick at what we don't know about. We pick at what doesn't concern us. We pick at stuff because we're bored & insecure. I did my "Googles" and found some of the trolls. In true troll fashion, most were not remorseful in the least. Some felt like they should be thanked for making the pictures go viral. *sigh* Invited or Uninvited...Mind Your Business!

Congratulations to the Couple!!!

As Always Talking to You In Adult Terms!
