[quote=Anonymous]So I got married under a myriad of different stressful circumstances and as much my wedding day is a very disappointing memory for me.

I was a broke grad student when I fell in love with my equally broke grad student boyfriend who proposed to me upon learning that I’d have to leave the country after my studies. We didn’t have money nor our parents support ( birth our parents were struggling financially at that point) so we went to the courthouse to get married. We wanted to have a proper wedding however so we said in a few years when we had some money we could do it. Meanwhile we got poorly paid jobs and due to the high cost of living saved just enough for him to finally buy me a proper engagement ring and then we had about 12k to plan a wedding party. Meanwhile his parents weren’t thrilled that he was marrying an immigrant and they were unsupportive emotionally and also financially.

We picked the cheapest venue, the cheapest caterer and the flowers were from Costco.

Overall it came together beautifully as it by magic and it was very sweet that it was all of our effort to put it together.

But these days both my sister and sister in law are planning their weddings. Each of them is planning the typical DC posh wedding extravaganza with tons of money thrown at it personal and special touches.

I wanted all of that too! I’m 35 years old now and it still hurts! [/quote]
