Geez, when did the wedding become more important than the marriage? This is the exact reason they decided not to go the traditional route. Even when they were told that they were going to have a party in the spring, she still got advice.
No wonder half the people in this country get divorced, if this where the emphasis is.
DH is a pastor. He's done fancy, expensive weddings and very simple weddings. He says that "At the end of the day, they are all just as married." The wedding day is over quickly. Hopefully the marriage lasts much longer than it takes to pay off the wedding. Sometimes I wonder. Sounds like DS and DIL-to-be have their priorities straight. Hang in there.
