[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a couple who each bring prior kids to a marriage is spending money on a wedding big enough to have a registry and asking for college donations, then their priorities are upside down.

Second wedding in this situation should be a county courthouse, small sit down meal, backyard, close family and friends only. If more than 3-5K is spent total, there’s something wrong.

I say this as a person who didn’t spend money on a wedding because it seemed an extravagance when I was in grad school with little kids. [/quote]

Lol...the only acceptable wedding is at the courthouse because one of they has been previously married?? I love the specifics with which people will judge others (complete with dictating this couple's wedding budget, good Lord).

Also to everyone crowing about this "big wedding"...I didn't read anything about the size of the wedding; OP's question was about the registry (to which I say meh, no different than cash and this older couple is probably loathe to acquire more "stuff").

Sounds like a family event, not a giant wedding; these can be lovely and touching. No one needs to slink around shamefully in their backyard, FFS.[/quote]

No, not because they’ve been previously married, but because they have KIDS and responsible parents don’t spend extravagantly on something for themselves if they haven’t financially taken care of their kids.  [/quote]
