Your money or someone else's?

I wouldn't even do an open bar. Just make them all drink beer. That savings will pay a few months utilities.

Although I am on the "do whatever you need to do" bandwagon, I can see how this would be disappointing for certain close family members.
Maybe there is a compromise where you don't have a full wedding but some sort of low key celebration/party. Outside of close family though, it shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I think it's a smart move. Believe me, I would have loved to avoid spending $40K+ for a one day party. I also don't see how it's anyone else's business, unless they're paying for it.

Is it wrong to go Beta? No.

Don't worry about it, anyone that's bothered by it will get over it.
PS: make double, triple sure your fiancé doesn't have any other ideas or suggestions

Absolutely right thing to do if that's what she wants. Weddings are alllll about the woman. Doesn't hurt that it's awesomely fiscally responsible too.

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.
If you are a male you are doing it all wrong. The wedding is for the bride so why do you care what color the flowers are? I told my now wife all I need to know is what time I need to be at the church and if she's lucky I'll be there

You're a smart man that married the right kind of woman is what it sounds like to me.

Do you think we are doing the correct thing financially speaking?
Posted on 4/28/15 at 12:42 pm to MikeBRLA
It's a great financial decision
But there is like a 60 percent chance she will flip the script on this whole thing when it gets closer to the "wedding"
And like a 110 percent chance that she will want a twice as expensive wedding after like 5 years of being married when she gets jealous of her friends are having all these big wedding
Bitches do be crazy ya know

Seems like you hear about a lot of regretting spending 30k on a wedding...not a lot of people saying it was worth it.
Gonzales Jambalaya wedding > most other weddings.

I can relate. First wife had me running all over South La to pick out shite every weekend leading up to it. If it wasn't wedding planning shite, it was furniture stores, bed bath and beyond, etc.
I am the last person to listen to for marital advice but I do know that if you're wife is making yo do all that shite before a wedding, You'll be miserable until your second marriage.
