[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because buying food and drink and paying people decent wage to serve it to 100 people and clean up after is expensive and we had 100 people we wanted to celebrate with.

Because my parents offered to pay for a chunk of it and if I said no they weren't going to offer to give it to me for a house or something else.

Because now that some of the people who were at the wedding have died I'm glad to have the memories and photographs of us having fun together.

Because I'm in a same-sex marriage and 20 years ago I wouldn't have been able to have a legal wedding at all and I wanted to make my guests' first gay wedding a good memory.

[b]Because it stimulates the economy better if I spend money  than if I leave it in the bank. [/b]

Because there are enough sad things in the world it was nice to have a happy day.

I don't think people should feel forced to have a wedding they don't want or to spend money they don't have. But I had the money and I spent it on things we liked and why not?[/quote]

Awww honey, no!!! I'm all for weddings but pls don't use this justification...invest in a small business or something

And do you know that your parents wouldn't have kicked that money towards a down payment?? As a parent I find that hard to believe [/quote]
