re: Women who went all out on a Big Wedding only to get divorced within 2 years?

50-75k for a wedding is pretty easy to do.
I think the older you get, the less inclined I am to spend that kind of money on a wedding, but it doesn't strike me as that abnormal.

Luckily my GF and I are on the same page about weddings. We just want small & elegant with only close family & friends. So probably less than 30 guests. She's not big on flashy, showy jewelry either so no big diamond either. In fact, I don't even think she wants a diamond. I definitely have a keeper

Wow. you didn't have any indication before you went through with the marriage? how quickly did things get rocky after the honeymoon?

So you're definitely cheap
I only paid for a small portion of my wedding and spent more than 3k.

She's a ragging slut
I doubt it. Females are almost all sluts for the most part. It's really hard to find one that isn't. If and when you do, you lock her down.

We had a small wedding, neither of us wanted to make a huge deal out of it and just invited our closest family and 2 of our closest friends. My dad paid for a nice rehearsal the night before and mom paid for honeymoon. It was a quick wedding and everybody was able to leave and get on with their lives

My wife still gets a kick out of it and messes with me. Fortunately she isn't a materialistic person either thoughPosted on 3/9/15 at 4:05 pm to LouisianaLady

eloping sounds more and more intriguing when I imagine myself walking down an aisle with people staring at me expecting me to smile.
I don't really like being the center of attention either but it didn't matter that day. I didn't go around the room and tell everyone hello. I let them come to me if they wanted. I had a good time and everyone else did too.

we drank margs earlier in the day, got a straight shave at an old school barber, changed clothes and met my good friend (also a county commissioner) who married us for $50 in the park at sunset.
he wouldn't have charged us at all except that he is required by law to do so.
..course we had that whole prime time TV proposal thing the month before..

Damn I was bitching about the $3,000 I spent for our wedding. Guess my wife was right in saying that was actually cheap
The wife and I spent a good bit more than that and we paid for everything ourselves.
You lucky bastard!

Our wedding was $60k, but my father in law's an plant operator so he makes that in 3-4 overtime shifts.

Not me ... think my parents spent about $6000/7000 ... small wedding ... 23+ years later all is well.

my wife had a friend that got married with a big wedding knowing she was going to ditch the husband. She just wanted to have "a wedding"
I have never cared for her.

We had private wedding
Big reception.
No idea what it cost.. My dad paid.
I lol at suckers who splurge and you know sitting in pew it ain't gonna last.
I can think of at least 2 this was this case.

I spent slightly over $10k (total) for the weddings of 2 daughters. I told them, "Nobody is going to care, 10 years from now, how much/little I spent. You'll be together (in which case, the money doesn't matter) or not (in which case, "Thank G-d we didn't overspend"). I'm not borrowing money or paying for people to get $hitfaced drunk."
I offered both of them a bribe to elope. Neither took me up on it. One did get divorced after 3 years.
(Thank G-d we didn't overspend.)

Some women are just so infatuated with the idea of having a day where everyone is looking at them and talking about them, when in reality a wedding is supposed to be about the COUPLE starting a life together and celebrating that. You really find out who the attention whores are when they start talking about weddings. I'm sure when I find the one I'm going to want to make that day special for her but when a girl is already thinking/obsessing over her wedding before even meeting her groom that's a major red flag for me

Narcissism. And that isn't even crazy compared to what some spend. Nothing says "we really love each other" like forcing your parents to take out a new line of credit to pack a reception hall full of friends and family that mostly can't stand each other.
