LOL Weddings seem like such a tragic waste of money and just add to the financial stress of marriage when a couple is starting out. That is easy for me to say though since they didn't have dreamy magazines of white weddings where I grew up. I just never saw the point. Romance comes in many different formats. :)

Oh yeah, wedding insanity. My girl has been looking through wedding magazines for a couple of years. Talk about "sticker shock"! I found her a dress in a catalogue for $99 bucks. It was ivory lace with an ivory skirt. It was supposed to be a faux 2 piece dress? The top and bottom were only attached by the back zipper, it exposed her stomach when she lifted her arms, and the skirt was the kind of material that you would line a real dress with. She had a fit. Totally crummy workmanship. So she's going to just wear a suit or something. I'm catering, and the 3 of us girls are cleaning the house this week and cooking. It'll be some hard work, but we'll get it done :)

I can't believe how much money couples spend on weddings. It's ridiculous. I thought Celine Dion's wedding was ridiculous, and they can afford it.

LOL. Anything over $350.00 for the entire wedding day sounds insane to me no matter if your a multi-millionaire or poor. I would rather buy real estate and not have the pressure of such a special day being such a drama.

Have fun.

Hypothesis: The amount of money couples spend on their rings and children is inversely proportional to how long they have put off marriage and how few children they are willing to welcome into their lives.
