So we got married in Ireland.
We paid for all the bridesmaids costs, of course.
Yeah.
Then I've got a two parter from one person coming from a bride myself who isn't having a bridal party for this very reason.
It's expensive.
If you want bridesmaids to look a certain way, you're going to have to pay for it.
Like, that's a very real option.
Yeah.
You can get married without having a bridal party.
Yeah, that's a great point.
Like, you didn't need the bridal party.
And if you can't afford to have the bridal party and pay for all their dresses and their shoes and their hair and their makeup, well, maybe that's not part of the wedding budget.
Yeah, exactly.
Oh, I don't know.
I would argue that actually, because for me, having bridesmaids wasn't a part of my aesthetic.
I mean, having them look a certain way.
Yeah, but it was because I wanted my best friend standing beside me.
Yeah.
Another person said, if you can't afford it, just say so.
Stop hiding behind it being uncomfortable.
