But then sadly she left me because she didn't think she could live with someone who is a slightly picky eater like me, because I had a hard time with some foods and didn't want to eat all the same meals as her. And because she decided I'm not mature enough. So no wedding anyway.


This must have just happened, because I searched for a post about it and even two months ago you were still engaged (even if she was making displeasure regarding food known to you).

Sorry, bro... that sucks.

So it turns out that weddings are expensive... Dannymac - 12/12/2011 04:24:17 PM 1756 Views
I am looking to drop about a grand on my son's rehearsal dinner *NM* random thoughts - 12/12/2011 04:42:53 PM 453 Views
Well, part of it is that the rehearsal dinner isn't on the $5k budget. Dannymac - 12/12/2011 04:46:30 PM 753 Views
It is avoidable, but people will treat you like you're a nutcase if you don't do most of the things nossy - 12/12/2011 05:02:14 PM 795 Views
my first wedding was in church with a pretty dress and a preacher random thoughts - 12/12/2011 06:12:02 PM 740 Views
We had a pretty dress and a notary public in the courtyard of the B&B. nossy - 12/12/2011 09:36:52 PM 781 Views
If I had it to all over again I would have formed a Rock Band and dated supermodels *NM* random thoughts - 13/12/2011 04:20:28 PM 421 Views

We kept it to about $5000 also (including cost of rings). Macharius - 12/12/2011 06:06:54 PM 818 Views
I would say our wedding was about that. Lici - 12/12/2011 06:45:46 PM 981 Views
I feel like they only have to be expensive if you let them be. LadyLorraine - 12/12/2011 07:07:59 PM 845 Views
I got married two weeks ago for less than that. Aemon - 12/12/2011 09:56:43 PM 904 Views

And several items on that chart are soo unnecessary *NM* ironclad - 13/12/2011 09:41:10 AM 448 Views

These seem kind of extreme. Vivien - 15/12/2011 06:03:15 AM 861 Views
because of your history you might find a cash bar lame... LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 12:59:39 PM 892 Views
Not my personal history, but culture. Vivien - 15/12/2011 03:53:12 PM 852 Views
I agree that there are better cuts to make than refreshments LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 04:35:13 PM 844 Views

Yeah, and that's why Russians are all dying of alcoholism. *NM* Macharius - 15/12/2011 01:46:52 PM 460 Views
You don't have to be an alcoholic to prefer not to have a cash bar at a party. Vivien - 15/12/2011 03:37:15 PM 756 Views
It is lame to expect the father of the bride to shell out tens of thousands for a party random thoughts - 15/12/2011 02:00:54 PM 850 Views
seriously. who cares if people think you're "cheap". LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 04:41:33 PM 763 Views
What my family tends to do (because it's huge) is this: Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:16:31 PM 898 Views
That's what most German weddings do too. Reasonable. *NM* ironclad - 15/12/2011 03:38:40 PM 420 Views
If they're not close enough to invite to the reception, are they really needed at the ceremony? Vivien - 15/12/2011 08:18:18 PM 861 Views
In most cases, a church ceremony tends to be an open thing. Anyone can come. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 10:11:30 PM 881 Views
Apparently it's becoming more common over here to do weddings on a weekday. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:13:57 PM 757 Views
I can't imagine someone in America announcing their wedding was on a weekday. TaskmasterJack - 15/12/2011 10:07:55 PM 984 Views
People not in America have way more vacation days... *NM* Vivien - 15/12/2011 11:56:22 PM 418 Views
That was part of the logic in my thinking, yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 16/12/2011 12:46:53 AM 402 Views
Fridays are actually becoming more common. Sareitha Sedai - 16/12/2011 04:51:41 PM 696 Views
Why does the band get more than the photographer? Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 04:30:29 PM 658 Views
well they do have to split it 4 or 5 ways random thoughts - 16/12/2011 04:38:36 PM 754 Views
The thing is... it's NOT a night's work. Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 09:27:30 PM 1048 Views
Because if you put tiny plastic musical instruments on all the tables, your ears will bleed out. TaskmasterJack - 16/12/2011 10:04:59 PM 1102 Views
My advice based on what I've done so far. callandor1000 - 22/12/2011 01:27:29 PM 718 Views
