I'll pay for the bar and help out on stuff but if they want to spend a house downpayment on one day, that's their lesson to learn. Weddings have become a huge scam. Tell them you are having a big party and the rentals are one price, tell them it's a wedding and it triples. That's awesome. I'll make my wife and kid happy as fuck and have a great time. I have no issue in this regard to following tradition. EDIT: Does the pic in the OP look like a 'rental hall'?

Frostynuts Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Traditions are made up by those that have the most to gain financially, and are followed by the weak. Amazing how so many people are brain washed thru advertising. The diamond people come to mind. Like I mentioned earlier, IF people can afford to blow money away without causing financial hardships in other areas, great, but unfortunately in a lot of cases, that ain,t the case. This stuff is done mainly to " keep up with the Jones, or whomever ". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff is done mainly to " keep up with the Jones, or whomever ". Opinions vary and there are some good facts in this statement. My wife and I went to the JOP and headed out on a drunken weekend. We let our parents know when we got back and sobered up. My parents laughed and sent cash. Her parents found it less than funny. Which made it really funny to me. We should all spend it where and how it makes us happy. Makes no difference to me, to each their own. My daughter will get a choice of cash for her and her other to get a nice jump on their lives or she can have a wedding. Thinking about giving her a cash option for college also. A four year liberal indoctrination is looking more and more like the fastest way to be unsuccessful. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ActionfigureJoe Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 my daughter's wedding was an outdoor affair last june. she wanted the whole "rustic charm" thing. i was a little sceptical at first, but it was one of the more simple and fun weddings that i'd attended. reception was your basic pig roast in the country and all the trimmings. didn't break the bank either. super casual.

02sled Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 From what I have been told little girls start thinking about what their wedding will be like before they are 10 years old. It's a big deal for women. If she wants the fancy wedding with all the trimmings and you can afford it, go for it. It's a day you both will remember for a lifetime. 25 years ago, including the honeymoon we paid just under $40K for our wedding. My wife wanted the traditional old church, ice sculptures, a reception at the golf & country club with floor to ceiling glass overlooking the pond and a lot more. She got everything she wanted. I got a very happy wife and a very memorable day. A couple of times a year she will dig out the wedding album and look at the pictures with a big smile on her face. Looking back, worth every penny to give her the wedding she wanted. One of the best bits of advice I got for the groom was... agree to whatever she wants, show up and say I do. It will be a fabulous day for her and a great night for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
