Its usually a women thing. I am sure most men do not care where they get married. If I ever get married, Id be happy eloping to get married. I dont need a big, fancy wedding. As I said, its usually the lady who wants a big wedding.

Screw that noise. My girl wants a simple-plain wedding. Church for the nuptials, with immediate family, and then a nice dinner out. The only agreement I had to make was taking her on a nice honeymoon. At most this will cost me 7-8k. Much better than blowing 30k on a reception filled with people I hate.

but mucho cheaper

It is easy for the costs to spiral out of control. Wedding planners are worse than used car salesmen and lawyers combined. I don't know how many times I heard, "oh, that wasn't included" throughout the process. Something I thought would cost us about $12k ended up costing about $16. I even got a bill afterwards for another $1,000 because they said that we stayed 30 minutes too long. I told them go fuck themselves. Me and my wife halved it, so it wasn't too terribly bad, but I felt like shit spending that much, I couldn't imagine spending over $20k.

Any plenty of people get married over and over again.  

All women want their fantasy wedding... they all dream about it from the time they are little girls.  Their knight in shinning armor will come and whisk them away.

Societal customs/stigmas are programed into people starting from when they are born.  It must be the right thing to do because everyone is doing it.

lol - fuck that shit.

The last 5 weddings I have been to have been over 100K. In the NJ/NY/ Conn, area they really go all out. I know in other states they do back yard or fire house wedding.

I spent $2K on my wedding.

$1K for my wife and I to each fly to a destination all inclusive wedding in the caribbean.

Cheap, easy, they take care of everything, and it was nice and sunny.

To each their own.

I sure as hell wouldn't spend $27K on a party. Bunch of people I don't even like or know, drinking a bunch of booze I paid for...forget it.

I'd be creeping my own free bar eyeballing people as they walked up to get a shot. Not on my dime, third-cousin-twice-removed-Walter-on-my-wife's-side. Not unless there's a $350 check in that tinfoil swan you saw at the entrance way, you cheap bastard.

$27k for a wedding?

$27k to be with a woman?

You could buy this rose gold Daytona for 27k instead. Will always look good on your arm, lasts a life time, will always be reliable, never nags you and the day you no longer want it, you'll get 27k back into your account and get to keep your house  :P

Hi Dan, just like you I see no benefit. I stopped going to weddings (non close family) a long time ago. I won't ever be getting married, so at this point I'm basically just giving everyone a bunch of gifts and money. Fuck em

I feel selfish for taking this position, but I find it kind of offensive they are doing 2 wedding parties. One for civil and one for church. What the fuck, they think people should sacrifice 2 days for their exercise in vanity of vanity?

Lavish weddings are a status symbol for people.
A young couple will go into debt paying for their wedding.
Famous people spend $millions on weddings.
How about a big mansion with 10 bathrooms and 8 bedrooms and 20,000 sqft for two people?  Ego.
Bill Gates has a $600 million dollar yacht built and never steps foot on it.  Ego.
Guy lives in a shitty apartment but leases an $80,000 pickup truck or Tesla.  Ego.
All degrees of the same ego driven behavior.

Yes I really dont regret having a "cheap" wedding. It didn't feel cheap either, just reasonable and got the job done. After all the true purpose is more of a symbolic nature.

My son's wedding was so over the top that people were talking about it afterwards in the town hall of my wife's hometown 350 miles away.
We had nothing to do with planning it.

It is a scam industry. The same items cost 2x - 3x the price because wimmens go crazy about weddings.
