My wedding cost $75 for the marriage license. Courthouse wedding, no honeymoon. It was more important for me and my husband to have money to buy a house than it was for one day of festivities.
Yeah, my sister didn't want a big wedding, but she didn't get a choice in the matter (and no say in anything pertaining to how the wedding was to go). Her parents-in-law wanted to show off, so they dropped at least 100k on the wedding reception, flying their family and friends in from all over the world. Thankfully my side of the family didn't have to pay for anything more than plane tickets and hotel for ourselves, and a bridesmaid's dress for me (gag), but the whole thing was ridiculous, and in my mind a complete waste of money. If my sister's husband's parents would have only given them that money as a down payment, it would have made their lives so much better, but nope, the wedding party was the most important thing.
Wow, that’d buy 5 1oz gold coins or about 350 1oz silver coins. I personally think silver is a better investment right now. It’s really cheap and I think it’ll go up more than gold. Easier to trade most likely if necessary.
I'm trying to keep it below that amount, food has gone up so much that the catering is going to cost more than the venue and it's open bar at this point.
Ya I know. Weddings are frigging expensive. I asked for cash gifts and used to pay part of my wedding lol. Did a cheap honeymoon a year later.

Yeah and I am not even having that big of a wedding and it’s still gonna cost me nearly $10,000 for venue, DJ and catering.

Silver is a 80 bagger
You could fill your car's gas tank a few times with that!

Ya that sounds about right.
I was simply adding to the Conversation about THE WEDDING, it has NOTHING to do with anything else....
Some people just jump to conclusions without ever thinking about Fucking CONTEXT.....
