You really should have mentioned that... you know a little bit, so we could have celebrated with you a little. :P

So it turns out that weddings are expensive... Dannymac - 12/12/2011 04:24:17 PM 1755 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 752 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 794 Views
my first wedding was in church with a pretty dress and a preacher random thoughts - 12/12/2011 06:12:02 PM 739 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 780 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 817 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

i had 500 people at my wedding....... Aisha - 13/12/2011 12:05:38 AM 913 Views
Everybody I have ever talked to that had a big, expensive wedding has told me that in hindsight... everynametaken - 13/12/2011 03:29:34 AM 700 Views
Yes they are. We're planning ours and... callandor1000 - 13/12/2011 02:19:42 AM 792 Views
Some people just don't seem to think outside of the box ironclad - 13/12/2011 09:15:49 AM 877 Views
And several items on that chart are soo unnecessary *NM* ironclad - 13/12/2011 09:41:10 AM 448 Views
They're only as expensive as you make them. Tim - 14/12/2011 10:38:37 AM 716 Views
I'm so glad we went simple. Kaldric - 14/12/2011 03:08:45 PM 869 Views
As someone who had a smaller wedding than was expected by certain people... Danu - 14/12/2011 10:36:57 PM 831 Views
These seem kind of extreme. Vivien - 15/12/2011 06:03:15 AM 860 Views
because of your history you might find a cash bar lame... LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 12:59:39 PM 891 Views
Not my personal history, but culture. Vivien - 15/12/2011 03:53:12 PM 851 Views
I agree that there are better cuts to make than refreshments LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 04:35:13 PM 844 Views
Re: because of your history you might find a cash bar lame... callandor1000 - 22/12/2011 01:08:00 PM 860 Views
Yeah, and that's why Russians are all dying of alcoholism. *NM* Macharius - 15/12/2011 01:46:52 PM 459 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 754 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 849 Views
seriously. who cares if people think you're "cheap". LadyLorraine - 15/12/2011 04:41:33 PM 762 Views
What my family tends to do (because it's huge) is this: Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:16:31 PM 896 Views
That's what most German weddings do too. Reasonable. *NM* ironclad - 15/12/2011 03:38:40 PM 419 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 860 Views
In most cases, a church ceremony tends to be an open thing. Anyone can come. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 10:11:30 PM 880 Views
Apparently it's becoming more common over here to do weddings on a weekday. Rebekah - 15/12/2011 02:13:57 PM 756 Views
I can't imagine someone in America announcing their wedding was on a weekday. TaskmasterJack - 15/12/2011 10:07:55 PM 983 Views
People not in America have way more vacation days... *NM* Vivien - 15/12/2011 11:56:22 PM 417 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 694 Views
Why does the band get more than the photographer? Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 04:30:29 PM 657 Views
well they do have to split it 4 or 5 ways random thoughts - 16/12/2011 04:38:36 PM 753 Views
The thing is... it's NOT a night's work. Amyrlin - 16/12/2011 09:27:30 PM 1047 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 717 Views
