Let’s hope she’s found happiness. We knew a receptionist who finally got her daughter married off. She threw a huge fancy catered soirée for her girl at the swankest country club in 400 miles. $35,000 just for lunch. Years of debt for mommy to pay off. We didn’t say anything to ruin her joy but felt it was a foolish waste of $
Yes; I’ve known people to drop $$ on weddings that would have made a down-payment on a very nice house.
(And I’ve never gotten ‘destination weddings’. It’s like the whole thing is some kind of show-biz production, not really a wedding. Nowadays, many of them are divorced in a few years. Then they do it all over - wearing white again ;-)
I know things in India are different; many are still more-or-less arranged marriages. Pride lost, perhaps; but Love?
Let’s hope it all turns out for the best.
