Aren't weddings such bizarre experiences? First off it's likelye the most expensive party people will ever throw in their lives... At every other

party such as birthday's and the like someone is expected to meet and greet and entertain the guests.. With a wedding you spend all that money to bail early??? Screw that noise! If I even wind up married and am paying all that money I'm staying the longest dammit!

I think the expenses for weddings increases in correlation to the number of people who had credit cards. I went to a wedding that didn't cost $100 total, the family contributed hand-picked bouquets, vines, and flowers from their gardens to decorate the small church, an aunt baked the cake, they had punch, nuts & mints and a relative sang. The dress was even bought on clearance at a local dept. store, just as sweet as any other wedding I've been to. And the couple stayed married.

@cherokeepatti Well the wedding is a "Plan" so it's kind of like a planned party and really whatever someone has in mind they mas as well go and do it...

I agree with putting in your own work on making the wedding and reception nice as opposed to shelling out tons of money on catering that there's really no point to...

@SerenitiesScars Simple weddings were standard back in the 70's if you didn't have credit or a huge amount of money saved up for a lavish one. Or people just went to the justice of the peace and got married that way.
