What I’ve noticed is just how weddings have become that so extravagantly expensive. And for 20 and 30 something women nowadays, apparently it is not just the wedding itself that is this big event (because it is a given that the father is supposed to pay for everything for that affair), but even the bachelorette party is supposed to be just as big (if not bigger) with these women going to Hawaii or the Caribbean or Las Vegas and partying among themselves.
That’s an excellent point. I know a young woman who held a destination wedding in Costa Rica. Made all of her friends and relatives spring for that trip.
She was divorced two years later.
I have givn two daughters in marriage.
During both I was given the "3-S" instructions for my involvement in the proceedings:
Smile...Shutup...Shell out.
