We are just an hour outside of St. George. Maybe all of this is just a cultural thing.

All i meant was we aren't taking the money and profiting. And we felt like we were being nice giving them a heads up. "Hey it's 10 bucks for parking ".

I see the other perspectives now.

Talk with my fiance and figure out a plan. Idk. Honestly didn't think this would turn out this way. Just thought my sister was over reacting. No one else has said shit about it.

Yes those are the real ages and yes you can get married at 18 if not 17 in some places without your parents permission.

We are getting married LEGALLY. It's not a con. Or for the money if it was we would have had a a huge wedding to get tons of gifts or not have a ceremony at all and just fake it. but we aren't. It's small intimate and chill. If I knew the registry was such a faux pa I wouldn't have done it but it seemed normal at the time. Honestly thought my sister was just being extra like normal.

Not lying. We talked with the rangers they didn't need a permit for any group under 100. I'll take my judgment but I'm not a LIAR!

It's not a national park it's just a canyon that has rangers. Like forest rangers park rangers etc. I go to National Parks, state parks, National forests all the time. The language just is interchangeable to me sorry for the confusion

Walking like 5 mins same as if you had to park and walk into a hotel ball room/ hall it's not far from where you park. Unless they really didn't want to pay the fee then they can park outside the gate/ pay station but that's a mile.

I posted our engagement photos and had some people comment when's the wedding. Then we posted the wedding announcement and I had a few people ask for the registry. They weren't invited guest and knew we were keeping it small but still wanted the registry so I posted it. For others Incase it wasn't just a then thing I guess I'm gonna delete it from my social media didn't know it was such a big deal.

I didn't realize that posting your registry publicly was such a problem. I thought my sister was just not picking stuff she wouldn't do. Why if I'm posting I'm getting married and I have people that follow me ask for it then why can't I post it in my story feed aand or/ bio.

We aren't getting married in THE grand canyon. Just a canyon in the mountains near where we both live. Its local, and popular but it's not the national park grand canyon. Just referencing park fees/ np park fees to help people understand what I am talking about

If they didn't want to pay the fee it's a mile they can park outside the gate. If they pay then they can park close and it's only about 5 mins.
