Everyone thought my bro's wedding was beautiful. Personally, other than the ceremony, I thought it was ostentatious, wasteful and a bit crass. I mean, what's the point in carpeting an entire ballroom in fresh rose petals? They stuck onto your high heels fer crissakes. People... get a grip!
Oh, Blue, that much $$ for a few hour of one day?? sounds like people
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
