Did you really mean a wedding that costs 100,000 dollars???Originally Posted by Bluetree
I wonder about priorities, too. My cousin (who is dead broke) is getting married soon and she was given a choice by her father: the $100k wedding she asked for... or the down payment on a house. She chose the wedding.
Then again, my family thinks my priorities are out of whack for riding my bike at 5am in 30° temps.

Yup. Not too unusual around here, young people can be quite spoilt. My brother's wedding cost $150k (dress alone was $20k), but at least her physician-parents could easily afford it. My uncle, on the other hand, can not, which makes me less inclined to want to go to my cousin's wedding. Originally Posted by mimitabby

I can't imagine having that big a wedding! DH and I had a 20 person very informal wedding to make my parents happy (not that they paid for it, but they wanted the wedding). Didn't go into too much debt, but went through the "wedding day" stuff for the wrong reasons. Given our choice, we would have eloped.

I hear you CA. We wanted to elope and got talked out of it. If we had our time again, it would be elope elope elope. Our wedding cost less than $1k all up including my wedding dress ($250). We got married at lunchtime on a wednesday cos we thought it would be just us Originally Posted by CA_in_NC
That way we got the flowers in the church for free from the previous saturday's weddings, and virtually no charge on the church. Admittedly, Wed lunchtime is not a "normal" wedding, but I really cant understand huge weddings 
My jaw just dropped when i read $100K... then someone said $150K... are they completely nuts??????
I dont mean to offend anyone, but that's a lot of money!

do need to get a grip. think of all the bikes... You could buy bikes for hundreds of kids with that money. and helmets too!
or... nice bikes for all the bridesmaids and groomsmen! and they'd still have money left over for a decent wedding, with food and favors and flowers
