    I've just seen it via LimeSlice. What a load of bollocks!!!!!

    I can't believe people are donating things. Why? Why would they?? Publicity?!!

    See I can kinda understand the publicity thing, but this is just FB! not on TV, not a "great cause" etc, etc, just two people trying to get things for their wedding! LOL, their page only has 60 something likes! thats not much publicity..

    Pair of scabs, is all I can say! As previously stated, cultural tradition =/= spongers out for a free ride when they've had ample opportunity to save up, or, God forbid, go to the bank and get a loan to cover the costs like everyone else does! I can understand why small businesses are donating goods, they probably assume this will hit the media (and I can almost guarantee it will, this is exactly the type of opinion-splitting situation that makes for awesome viral news) and that their businesses will get publicity boosts from it... but still. How sad! I had a courthouse wedding and family-only reception dinner because that's all DH and I could afford, we have no regrets and have put all our effort into making the MARRIAGE work, not just the wedding day. Grow up, ****** and *****, and pay your own way like the rest of us!
