Are the fiancee and I wrong?

My fiancee and I just got engaged two weeks ago. Everyone keeps on asking us about our plan and what we want to do. We tell them that we actually do not plan on having a "wedding" because we rather spend all that money on the house we are planning to buy and instead just do the JOP thing with a party/reception with food and open bar for our family and friends. This was both of our ideas...which btw is awesome she agreed to it right away. Do you think we are doing the correct thing financially speaking? Is it tacky that we are thinking this way? We would rather spend all those Benjamins on a DP for a house than a one day only party. No pics btw...haha you beaches!Thanks

Id appreciate it if I was friends with you. I dont have to sit through mass and I get an open bar.

Smart...if you can get the SO's/your parents to just give you cash instead of big wedding.

As long as she's truly on board you're good to go Herb.

Personally, I like the idea. I think it's much wiser to invest in a house that you will end up splitting 50/50 once the divorce is finalized rather than blowing your money on a wedding, reception and honeymoon and having nothing to show for it.

fiancee = female
Actually there are some accent marks in there but this is a half-arse correction. I'm not going to the character map to find that shite.

If it was in fact her idea, then congrats. You found a woman who isn't obsessed with having an extravagant wedding.
Also,
She's right, you're wrong. That's the way it goes now.
Am I doing this right?

Recently got engaged and I wish we could do what you are doing. This wedding planning crap is borderline miserable to come home to every day after work.
ETA: My fiancée's parents are paying for everything, or else I would be begging to do what you are doing. IMO weddings are just a really expensive party.
