[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe OP is upset that a $12,000 wedding wasn't enough for her. TWELVE THOUSAND DOLLARS. Are you kidding me?

OP - where are you from?

I had a big fat Indian wedding and I barely remember any of it. Like a PP said, I don't think about it. It was a fun party, but I don't remember things like the decorations, flowers, etc...not a bit.[/quote]

If you are trying to stretch $12K to have a 250 person wedding, it isn't going to go far. I had about a $12K wedding but we only had 50 people. In that case the 12K goes pretty far. I didn't want a big wedding, or to blow too much money, and I didn't expect in-laws to help pay for it. Why should they? We were both in our early 30s getting married and didn't want or expect parental help.[/quote]

I spent under $15K (can't recall the exact amount) on a 100-person wedding (I have a huge extended family).  It went far enough.  I didn't need special chair covers or monogrammed napkins or expensive flowers.  Most of that money went on food and drink for guests.  OP had a courthouse wedding, so I'm guessing that $12K was plenty.  She's not upset she didn't have flowers at all, she's upset that they came from Costco.  Who cares about that?[/quote]
