[quote=Anonymous]The cost of my wedding was the national average for a wedding at the time, so it was neither cheap nor extravagant. I have no regrets. There are usually only three events in life that bring together all of your friends and family with all of your spouse’s friends and family: your wedding, your funeral, and your spouse’s funeral. You’re only going to enjoy one of those. Your wedding is the biggest, best, happiest party of your life. It’s okay to put whatever money you can afford into that.

I have numerous good friends who had cheaper weddings, but spend a lot more money throughout their lives on parties/entertaining, and that’s a fine choice as well. I don’t spend money on many other types of entertaining; my kids didn’t have baptisms, we never had a housewarming party, husband and I didn’t throw birthday parties for each other, we don’t host huge barbecues, we don’t have Super Bowl parties, our kids won’t have bar/bat mitzvahs or quinceañeras, etc. Some people host large casual gatherings throughout the year, every year.

In other words, different people prioritize different things, and that’s okay.[/quote]
