£700 for invites and a website?! Like dude, I can buy a pack of invites for £20. I single-handedly made my brother's wedding website by myself and not only was that cost a 2-digit figure, that figure started with a 1! Including hosting!
And yes, I did notice you changed the colour of the text slightly so that it's no longer a "golden copper" but what I would call "diarrhea stomach medicine brown copper". Which you changed because you think green and gold is "so overdone".
No. Paypal doesn't need 2 capital P letters. Type it however you want. Adding the capitals is just free advertising. Treat it like a normal name.
No, I will not shoot one of the alpacas so we can afford the invites. Ha ha ha. So funny.
What do you mean we don't have time to think about it? We don't need them for another 3 months! Pressuring us to go with your crazy high quote right now will result in me saying, "no, thanks, we'll go with this cheap shit from Etsy" just to piss you off.
(Reader, I did actually say that if he wouldn't give us time to consider the quote that I would outright say no right then and there. I will not be fucking pressured. He was not happy.)
If we paid for these (which we're not) it would currently be the most expensive thing in the wedding besides the venue.
For things I could have done, and wanted to do, by myself! But hey, you offered, I figured you wanted to be part of the wedding and not just fleecing a customer.
Why the fuck have we got a bespoke website hand built from scratch? We're not a company with a new product. It doesn't need to be unique and innovative and catch the eye of unsuspecting punters. It just needs our names, a date, a time and an address. We're not here to make money off of our guests by claiming commission on photography.
Just wtf.
Also, please stop capitalising Wedding Day. In some circumstances I'm sure it's fine but I hate it. Welcome to our special Day.
No. No capitals.
...
But did I say any of this? Mostly no. Mostly I stayed quiet and tried to diplomatically say we'll think about it. Then came home raging.
Work was eventful too and I went straight from there into our client meeting, I mean, visit to the groom's parents.
Now I'm restless and wide awake and not sure how to process any of this.

@miffyhelen Your rant is justified. Weddings do not need to be expensive to be awesome. We wed at a town hall and rented a Chinese restaurant for $1,000. We had no rings and still have none, yet the vows have held. I only remember bits of it due to social anxiety and various substances I used to deal with that. Please don't shoot an alpaca for a day that, beautiful or not, will fade and be replaced by better memories. Best wishes!
