[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We married in the courthouse.  We celebrated at home - around 50 people.  No gifts.  Parents had paid for college so we started with no student debt.   It was a major legup for us in life.

I will do the same for my kids. I will pay for their college and higher studies.  Also when they get married (in the courthouse), I will throw a modest party (approx - 10K) + 50K cash gift towards either retirement or down payment for a house + a new car (approx $30K).   I will not spend more than this.

If my kids want grand weddings, they will have to pay for it themselves.  I will give 50K for the down payment for a house/retirement.  I will also put 30K for my grandkids college fund.  [/quote]

You sound pretentious. [/quote]

You are welcome to think whatever you want. We are not poor. We can afford to pay for our kids wedding but see that as a waste of money.  We would rather give them a boost in life by getting them things that they can use.  It is our hard earned money, we choose to spend it in a way that we think is best. A big wedding and a expensive wedding ring is a waste of money. No student debt, retirement/college account, down payment to a house, a paid of vehicle that you can use to go to work - I consider these blessings for any adult starting their married life.
