It gets even "better."

You can't make this stuff up.

The next reality show?

[AppyPappy]

This should be a movie

My wedding cost $400 and $350 of that was the dinner afterwards.

I can’t think of single large, expensive wedding that resulted in a marriage that lasted.

[SamAdams76]

Wow, that is one lucky man. Looks like he narrowly escaped a life that would have been a living hell.

They posted her pic in the Sun Times. She’s a Bow Wow....

The cost of weddings has become insane-—like the cost of everything else today

Everyone trying to impress people who have known them all their lives .

$143,000 tossed away here for a ring and a wedding. That would make a nice downpayment on a home.

I guess I think too much like a man who had to earn his money.

To hell with a picture of the bizotch! I wanna see a picture of the ring! LOL!

Now the bride is still stuck with that last name.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

In case law, an engagement ring is a “completed gift”, it belongs to the prospective bride, unless she engaged (no pun intended) in fraud or deceit. IOW, if she accepted his proposal in good faith, it's her ring.

I've been through this sort of thing and I agree that the solidity of marriage is correlates negatively with the cost of the nuptials.

The man in this case can be thankful every day of his life that he dodged this bullet, no matter the price he ultimately pays.

Something tells me the concept of "true love" is beyond the understanding of both of these two people.

Money problems and romance come and go but a good blood feud lasts forever.
