I don't understand paying that much for a party.  I got married at a courthouse and been married foreva. 

Ive always been money conscious. I do want a pretty wedding dress though, I never had  one. 😪😪😪

I don't care what anyone spends on their wedding.  As long as they don't ask me to pay for it.  It's important to some people, to others, not so much.

I don't care what people spend on weddings either.  It's their business.

I was happy with mine - that's all that really counts. 

Both of my kids say they want a destination wedding.  Fine with me!

I just got home from my daughters.  Do you know what my grandson's Tuxedo cost to rent for the prom... $195!  My daughter said before it's all said and done..... this prom will cost them over  $400.  I hate to think what it's costing the girls parents!

After spending a bundle of money on a wedding, many don't even stay married.  Then they want a 2nd wedding and expect a second gift.

Lots of people are definitely spending more than I would, but they're not spending my money, so I don';t really care all that much -   or not as much as I do when college kids spend big chunks of their student loans for spring break trips or beer and pizza and then expect the rest of us to pay off those loans.

I do wish, though, that the bride and the groom would spend as much time talking about the marriage as they do about the wedding and the honeymoon.

DS is not happy that he must attend a destination wedding later this month. Will cost him at least $1000.00 and two days off work, and he is not a member of the bridal party. Without saying too much, he must attend. All involved are in their 20's, except the groom who is several years older. He is working extra jobs to pay for their special day.

Seriously, I would insist on a Diamonique ring in a 14K gold setting.  That way, I'd have a much larger engagement 'diamond'.  Unless the groom-to-be has a lot of money, that is.  p.s. The Q does guarantee those Diamonique stones to always be brilliant, no clouding, etc.

So did we.  And I never attended a prom, so I guess the whole 'formal gown' experience just passed me by.

I AGREE. If people/parents want to spend a LOT of money on weddings, that's THEIR business, no one else's
