[quote=scaredyclassic]This is kind of a deep thread.[/quote]
FWIW, me and my ex-spouse spent about $900 for our wedding (for 77 guests) … in the 1970’s, LOL. That included $69 each (no tax) for gold wedding bands at the Navy Exchange and my homemade dress costing ~$88 in materials. ($500 was donated by my mom and the rest was our expense.)
My ex-spouses mom paid for the rehearsal dinner for 22 people the night before the wedding. All paying parties are now deceased except for me and my ex-H and our kids.
The marriage lasted 21 yrs until I filed for divorce and nearly 26 years until the divorce was final. What does this tell you?
