DUDE! Now I am wondering about your rationality! 25K for a fairy tale wedding? LOL! Hardly a fairy tale wedding. [/quote]

Dude. It’s all relative. For some $25k is small potatoes, for some it’s a huge amount. You cannot make a blanket statement like that. Each person’s financial circumstances are different.

I dislike weddings for many reasons… that’s a whole other topic but if I had my wish I would just go quietly to a courthouse and get married for the cost of the court fees, then probably have a ceremony with close friends in my backyard. Nothing more required.

I hate the wedding industry and it’s practices of price gouging… inflating all costs by 300% and frankly suckering their customers into paying.

Yes, if my partner wanted a $25k or $30k wedding I would acquiesce but only if they had something financially to contribute towards it.

And if my partner had not only nothing to contribute but on the other hand had only liabilities to bring into the marriage I would never agree to it at all.[/quote]

Brother… You make more than me… and like I said Im cheap. I agree with all your points but if you think you are getting married at City Hall… Good luck with that… And if you do… She’s a keeper..

The only way the City Hall marriage usually happens… is if she come with baggage and is on a second marriage… Or your 55 years old already and it just doesn’t matter…

So yeah I can make blanket statement like that…

BTW… I got married at 40..

CE

BTW… I should have mentioned that though me and my wife don’t have a fairy tale marriage either…

She was well worth it…[/quote]

No diamonds.
Buffet wedding in cheap place.
