It isn't in my personality to have such an affair, I'm not sure why I'm arguing with you about it... I just don't think the cost is the biggest problem in weddings I've been at... They're by people with good money and daddy pays for most of it unless it is not their first one or the bride is in her upper thirties.

My biggest complaint is that they aren't any fun to be at and the bride imposes all kinds of tiresome duties on her best friends instead of letting them all have a good time.

Going to chime in here, as one who has married off two daughters in the last three years..Cost factor is relative to where you live, your income, and what you are comfortable with..and it's not fair to judge people otherwise..some of the comments smack of the "class warfare" we loathe when Dems/libs employ it....

I can add that the best way to keep the cost down is to belong to a church with a small seating capacity..ours is 125 or so..when we got the preliminary invite list from our newest son-in-law...HIS family's list was over 200..It didn't happen..

I would like to see a federal law passed banning videotaping of weddings..It's horrid..a distraction, annoyance, and just plain awful...I've been to weddings whwre the couple,a nd the bride's family, seem MORE interested on having a nice video and pics, rather than enjoying the wedding, and the reception...

Still photographs are nice momentos..but you have to tell the photographer when enough is enough...the wedding is NOT being run for his convenience..
