Expensive wedding bashes are tacky, no matter who’s paying for them. I was happy to see the low-cost, low-key affair my nephew and his bride had last month. They could easily have afforded to spend 10 times what they did, but extravagance wasn’t the point, and they weren’t interested in impressing their guests with how much money they have, especially given that some of their guests are people who have recently lost jobs and have serious financial problems. Their gift registry was loaded with inexpensive, practical items like pots and pans, and his mom made the table decorations.
I met Zack's fiancee when I was down in MS last month, and she is just as sweet and level headed as can be! I'm happy he found someone so nice, cause he's just a great kid!
