[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometimes I feel icky thinking of all the money people blow on weddings.

I had a very modest wedding and I am watching two of my friends plan their weddings this year. And one wedding will cost about 100k and the other 70k.

And the brides are obsessing over minute details such as ordering custom napkins with the bride and grooms initials, to custom cups for drinks to multiple outfits on the day of the wedding.

So much self indulgence. So much privilege!

It doesn’t upset me, if it’s their money, they can throw it any way they want. My own marriage was an expensive affair thanks to my parents and grandparents but in hindsight it was a waste and I should’ve stopped them all. My parents had money and they ended up spending more then they should’ve, in-laws had none but pushed my husband to overspend even if has to take on debt. It wasn’t worth it and I wouldn’t repeat their mistakes with my children. I’ll recommend shifting focus from wedding week to thousands of weeks after that. [/quote]
