No , my parents didnt attend my wedding b/c it was a short civil ceremony.. we decided to save the $50k or whatever a wedding would have cost and put a down payment on a house.. the entire wedding industrial complex is obscene and expensive, so decided to forego it entirely .


No judgment here. If you and your husband were happy with it that’s all that matters.

So, then why get married at all?

FTR, I agree with you. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that the entire concept of marriage is a scam.

You keep talking like that around here and you'll be arrested and gagged, maybe sent to an institution, maybe worse. Us, too.

Here’s your judgement. You’re too stupid to understand the obvious context of the OP.

Good point.

Im not religious, and im not a huge fan of government, especially government involved in my relationships… Literally all marriage is is a religious government contract binding you to your spouse.. Doesnt make a whole lot of sense .

I’ll never understand the obsession people have with getting married in a church of a certain denomination

I’m getting married in an old cotton gin that was remodeled for big events. Has a stage for the band, bar, everything. Doing the ceremony then reception is right there after the ceremony. Soon as we say “I do” the bands start playing and drinks start pouring

We started planning a wedding and decided it sounded like a pain in the arse so we canceled it and went to Vegas. No regrets.
Ours was the opposite. I'm the pretty typical guy who didn't care one bit how we got married.

Wife and I decided on Vegas, had it all picked out, flights/hotel booked. Her Mom knew this but at some point I guess it really set in that she wouldn't see her daughter get married, so she offered to pay for the entire wedding if we had a normal, local wedding lol.

Like I said, I truly didn't care and let my wife decide, and we had the normal, fully paid for wedding. The only stipulation I had was to have nothing to do with the headache of planning it out, and they obliged. I just showed up on the date and time and that was that.

My wife's parents don't have a lot of money or at least neither of us would ask them for a dime. My dad offered to pay for some of it but we weren't comfortable with that either. We decided if we were having a wedding we'd either pay for all of it or go elope. We decided to save the money and do the latter.

My wife's dad didnt come to our wedding, but he wasn't missed in the least bit.

He's a terrible person and dad by all accounts. My wife has 5 siblings. 3 of those siblings also hate his guts and want nothing to do with him.

The other 2 are babies aged 3 and 1. Perhaps he'll have better luck with the new babies in finally learning how to be a father.

Considering we had our wedding on my parents property, it would have been super weird for them not to come

My dad and I had a very dysfunctional relationship as well. He died when I was just out of college, so I obviously knew he wasn’t going to be there when I got married. It was still hard though.

Been married twice (no pics). First one was the quintessential Southern wedding and the second was a short ceremony on the beach.

First wedding cost north of $20K. Second cost $450.

We've been married for almost 20 years at this point. I've stood in a number of expensive weddings that have long since dissolved.

I hear ya.

We didn't ask them or plan for them to pay, we were happy to pay ourselves with Vegas.
