Question Posted Saturday November 12 2011, 2:35 am
I was wondering if asking the price of someone's wedding dress is considered rude, as in to most people. I asked one of my friend how much her sister's wedding dress cost while we were watching "say yes to the dress" and she said she can't tell me because it's personal. I honestly don't get how it's personal but then that's just my opinion, if she asked me, I would've told her. So do most people consider it rude or is it just my friend who thinks that?

Some people are fine with a simple wedding and some people like a big wedding..... and some people want a big wedding for a simple price but want their guests to think they are better off than they are and would be gutted if anyone knew otherwise.
On a wedding day there is alot of pride going on, there is usually a bride who has dieted since she got engaged and tells people she is a perfect size 12 when she has cut out the label that says '14'.
The dress to the bride is almost as important as the future husband, asking how much the dress is, sounds like asking how much husband earns in order for her to afford that dress which is another reason it can be classed as so personal. [ roseyapple's advice column | Ask roseyapple A Question ]

Some people don't like opening their financial decisions up to discussion by others, though. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
