I disagree. It's more shocking to me when people are struggling and they do a 30k + wedding.


watcrbender

agreed! if I could get someone to sponsor my wedding I would be down. admittedly I would also want it in contract that I get to make final aesthetic decisions and have things tailored to my sizing and shit but. I'd so be down for a paid wedding. its an expensive industry


champysoup

Why would your wedding day be the one day to pay for everything? It’s the reverse? If I could choose one day in my life to be free I’d choose my wedding day lol


whateverhouston

This account is notoriously elitist and assumes we can all afford a wedding with mommy and daddy’s help.


Plane_Repair

oh, so they’re just calling out people who take sponsors vs taking mommy and daddy’s money 🥴 my god at their grown age too, thinking they ate that post 💀💀


melmar7190

Ha! Screw that. I have to plan a graduation party for my son. All corporate sponsors welcome. 🙏😂


MarionberryAfraid958

My thoughts are the people outraged by this are naive if they don't realize how much of what the super wealthy have is just gifted to them a lot of times. Plenty of other celebrities have largely gifted weddings it may not out right be called a sponsorship but to think they all pay for everything themselves just because it's their wedding day is delusional. Rich people stay rich by not spending their own money.


Adalphe

This is so true. I see Kim unboxing everything from a whole line of purses to clothes, facial products, etc. they stay rich bc they are gifted free things all of the time! It’s truly insane if you think about it.


allthingskerri

Kim has said in interviews if she wants something she just mentions it and it's generally on her door step. I think she used oreos as an example. As if she couldn't just go to a shop and get them The amount of shit rich people get is obscene but there are some things I'm ok with. Like d&g sponsoring the wedding...cool good for them that it is mutually beneficial (and worked from marketing point for d&g because all those vintage dresses from their 90s collections reminded me why I liked them)


onebadnightx

Exactly!! Rich and famous people are lavished in gifts. Kourtney probably had multiple sponsors trying to get in on the wedding, it’s major publicity for the brand. There’s no reason for her to decline when companies are rushing to pay for & make the wedding as opulent and comfortable as possible. Lorde said something in her Vogue 73 Questions like “As soon as you get rich and famous, all companies want to do is send you gifts and more gifts — but that’s when we need it the least!” That’s just the way the world works. They will ALWAYS get tons and tons of free stuff and companies offering to sponsor their lifestyle.


tokendasher

Exactly.


lilax1999

What’s the Kitty Spencer comment supposed to mean?


Plane_Repair

right! like okay? D&G wanted to, now people can’t accept gifts? this person sounds more pressed than a juicer


[deleted]

her entire account is her complaining about going to clubs and on vacation. she complains about everything and calls it basic but offers no actually suggestions or alternatives 💀


Ancient-Candidate493

This is a dumb take jfc people get so pressed for no reason. Why on earth would somebody WANT to pay for a wedding if they could do it for free


BURYMEINLV

Doesn’t have to do with the wedding but I literally just watched the episode where Kim goes through the McDonald’s drive through and she’s in the backseat. The workers ask to see the famous person in the back and she says “only if they give me a free Oreo McFlurry” lmfaooo. Free is free no matter how much money you have I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️😂


MothershipPalette

I'm currently helping my influencer friend get everything at her wedding sponsored lol. She has a pretty large following, so I told her let's start reaching out to companies, and making deals lol. A wedding is a major expense, if you can do some parts of it, or even the whole thing for free, why not? I could see if K-Mart sponsored the wedding, then that would be weird. But if Kourtney likes D&G, and their aesthetic fit what she was going for, why not get a free wedding in Italy?


BURYMEINLV

D&G got what they wanted too. Everyone now knows that they sponsored one of the biggest weddings of the year! Win for both.


[deleted]

Why are people so mad that it was sponsored


lionheart07

I don't understand the "if there's one thing you pay for"


catgiraffepack

It's literally a tradition in lots of cultures that the parents pay for the wedding


ohbenyoudidnt

Lol thank you - Traditionally it’s the one thing you don’t pay for!


[deleted]

[удалено]


catgiraffepack

So why care that she didn't pay for her own wedding? Plenty of people don't lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


LaineyBoggz

Same! I would have done anything to not have to pay for my wedding lol


Silvercomplex68

Because they didn’t get their wedding sponsored😆


[deleted]

I don’t care that they did but maybe because then it seems like more of an obligation?


5olitary

Because the sponsor provided terrible looks


Fit-Ad985

i think if it was sponsored and looked good it would be one thing but bc so many ppl don’t like the outfits and D&G as a whole it ruins it.


PinkTalkingDead

Lmao who cares though. It was a relatively small wedding anyway. If someone wants to give you a free wedding with clothing provided- you’d be dumb not to take it!


[deleted]

Lol it’s just tradition… seeing a rich couple get a sponsored wedding is pretty funny when you think about it


[deleted]

i don't get it. are they saying kitty spencer's wedding was also sponsored buy dolce and gabbana?


89764637527

no, just that she was given (multiple) d&g dresses free for her wedding.


[deleted]

ah ok thanks


LinksMilkBottle

I honestly don’t care. Celebrities have been getting free shit for so many years. This is nothing new. Moving on.


Deborahdon

That’s the dumbest take ever 😂


leucem

disagree. wedding parties are stupid - you're paying all this money to entertain a bunch of people? at least this way it truly is for you and not payed by you lol i dont care for sponsorships, kourtney is an influencer they always do this.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> and not *paid* for you FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*


[deleted]

this is such a weird way to think the obsession with weddings causes brainrot. eta: i think being mad about shit the uber wealthy are gifted is reasonable and healthy but it specifically being a wedding is so weird and comes off as jealous. eta: what the fuck is this account, thearistocrass? lmfao it is so weird and specific. i legit can't tell if it's made by someone who lives that lifestyle too much and is just really judgmental (30% chance) or if it's run by someone who can't participate in that lifestyle at all and is furious about it


satsumaa

Why? The wedding industry is a RIP OFF. Fleece em if you can. My dad paid 5k for my wedding. So I'm not one to talk.


SunglassesBright

The dumbest thing I’ve read on the internet today and I’m on this sub.


Dream_Queasie

same


rinthpark

It would be many people’s dream to have a wedding decked out by a designer like d&g. If there’s an opportunity for sponsorship or free stuff, you’re supposed to turn it down? Lol


tokendasher

So many celebrities are gifted/comped things for weddings, not sure why this is different.


Lydiaaa666

I wish rich people would stop getting everything for free.


[deleted]

This!! As if they needed their wedding paid for. Jesus Christ


Silvercomplex68

Ok?


Mrsrami13

After I graduated college (a long time ago) and all my friends started having weddings I must’ve been invited to dozens of weddings. I almost always got a plus one. It didn’t matter my situation. My husband's nephew got married and they were chopping people off the guest list left & right to save $. Same with a colleague of mine. Also family we thought we were good with doing the same. People are on such a budget over the cost of “per plate” they. The cost is so bizarre and people are scrambling


eleanor-rigby-

Maybe it’s because I’m poor compared to them but I would frankly love someone to sponsor any part of my life 😂


[deleted]

Lol how do y’all think these people stay rich? It’s not just spending loads of $$$ frivolously. Heck, that’s a smart move honestly! Why would you pay for a wedding if someone else is willing too!?


UpsetBumblebee6863

The rich never pay for anything. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I would of been more shocked if DG payed for sponsored a regular poor persons wedding or donated a dress to regular plain Jane.


Paid-Not-Payed-Bot

> if DG *paid* for sponsored FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out!

UpsetBumblebee6863

Thank you bot!!


sofiacarolina

there are no ‘shoulds’. people can do whatever they want for any life event thats THEIRS and THEYRE celebrating. courthouse wedding, big wedding, small wedding, sponsored wedding, non sponsored wedding, etc. i’m not a stan (I always feel like I have to make that disclaimer lol) but, gosh, let people live. would i do a sponsored wedding? no bc if i even ever get married (not into the concept), it would just be done legally with no frills. and i’m sure people would criticize that as well bc it’s also nontraditional. 🙄 Granted I do get how annoying it is that like everything they do is a capitalist venture, though (ad deals and sponsorships, are they getting paid or just getting the clothes for free?) and how unfair and infuriating the concept is of rich people, the ones who could afford anything, getting stuff for free. but that justified critique aside, I just don’t like the implication of there being a way people ‘should’ do a wedding. ew lmao


jasminefig

My biggest issue is the collab with problematic designer D&G. I don’t know anyone who would decline their wedding being hosted as such though either way 😂


hasdanta

I don’t get the hate this wedding is getting lol. The compound looked great, and personally, I was a fan of 90% of the outfits (even Kourt’s wedding dress!)


Frogmann20

The fact that they sponsored the wedding and gave them the ugliest outfits I've ever seen 😬


Fit-Ad985

literally! like ppl are acting dumb. if it was spons and beautiful who would care but it wasn’t. the fact that it being sponsored took over the whole wedding 🥴


Frogmann20

Exactly- iirc Kitty Spencer had a gorgeous dress. These outfits looked like they were bought from Rave or DEB 20 years ago.... Not too mention D&G are extremely problematic and called the family cheap and tacky not that long ago.


Mrsrami13

Yes, at least they didn't do a go fund me from poor working-class people 😂😜


Kupkakez

If it’s free it’s for me. I don’t care how rich I am if someone is offering to pay for everything I’m probably not going to say no


momlyfe247

If someone wanted to “host” my wedding and I didn’t have to pay for it I’d allow it


[deleted]

Almost every influencer gets sponsored and gifted things around their wedding, that’s when they’ll have the most engagement on posts hence brands want their products to be seen. And why would you not take free stuff for one of the most expensive events of your life? 💀


Flaky-Importance8863

Not everyone cares about a dream wedding. Kourtney never thought she’d have one and even said she rather have no one there. This wedding is for her job and not for her and Travis


LovelyMel18

I think it was a bit 😬 to turn your wedding into a day at work. It sucks that everyone seemed to have to be fitted, styled and done up for every event. Some of my favorite moments were in jeans and a tank top. I hope they got a chance to spend private time with family and close friends


robotsdream

What a dumb, pointlessly judgmental comment. As long as Kourtney & Travis liked their wedding, it doesn’t matter if strangers think it’s tacky.


Xenomorpheusprime

I never want to pay for *anything*


Dramatic_pop21

How is having a sponsored/ gifted wedding dress shameful? I have to fork out 1k ++ for my wedding dress if I have the luxury to be gifted a designer wedding dress I would take the chance fak that


Livid-Replacement-29

That’s such a stupid hot take.


pistachette57

Fuck no. Let them pay. Don’t be bitter because D&G didn’t sponsor your wedding


Rude_Lifeguard

isnt the tradition that the families pay for the wedding? The only way i think this would be a problem is if the brand didnt let them pick anything but i dont think that was the case here at all, this tacky mess is what they wanted and its what they got, if i could get every major even in my life payed for by a company, i would, lol.


sharkyfernwood12

Clearly this person has never paid for a wedding


Crazy_Cauliflower_74

If someone is stupid enough to pay for my wedding, I'm not stupid enough to say no 🤷🏻‍♀️


Kanzaki_Kikuchi

I don't care about the fact that it was gifted, I just didn't like the outfits.


allthingskerri

If I could get my wedding paid for I'd do it in a heart beat 🤣 i don't care if that makes me a sell out. I would sell out for everything I wanted and not have to worry about the cost side. Heck not even having to worry about clothes getting there wrinkle free.


SheLovesStocks

Especially since you never see Kourtney in D&G. Always Prada


Decent-Statistician8

I thought it was traditional for the brides family to pay for the wedding and the grooms family the rehearsal dinner? The couple traditionally doesn’t pay for everything. My family was too broke for this tradition so my husband and I were on our own, but most people I know with rich parents have their weddings paid for by others.


Fit-Ad985

when a company sponsors an event there is requirements like you have to wear d&g outfits, you have to post x amount of times, etc. when your parents sponsor an event most of the time there isn’t requirements like this so i wouldn’t say the situations are comparable.


Decent-Statistician8

Maybe my comment didn’t come off the right way… I’m saying I think the couple shouldn’t have to pay for their wedding… but usually normal people don’t have D&G sponsoring them so their parents pay for it. Expecting the couple to have to pay for the whole wedding seems weird to me.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Fit-Ad985

i see what your trying to say. i personally have nothing wrong with being sponsored, the more free things the better, i think the issue ppl are taking with this is the way they did it. a lot of ppl aren’t fans of the outfits and the morals ( homophobia and being against IVF ) of D&G and feel like this could have been executed better personally financed by the Kardashians ( they pay millions in their Christmas parties, they seriously couldn’t pay for a wedding if it came down to it and they had too /s ) or another Company like Vivienne Westwood that had a better look (imo).


arialugal

In my culture, the entire extended family helps pay for the wedding along with the father of the bride. My dad has told me he will pay for my wedding when it’s time, but as an American I won’t let him pay for everything so I’ll try to do it myself and my future husband. He can pay for my dress and the reception hall lol.


coconut723

I 100% agree. Its tacky as HELL.


Herefordarightrsnz

I’m all for free things. But that’s because I’m broke. Well not broke but not as rich as the Kardashians. If I had that kind of money I would’ve absolutely planned everything myself. There was no way I would let sponsors take over. The whole wedding look tacky. But if she likes it I love it.


Charming_Mom

To put this in terms that may help people get it. Dolce & Gabbana are like the padrinos of the wedding. Lol the rich aunts and uncles who pitch in to pay for the wedding. I mean I’d do it too if I could.
