wouldn't be surprised if my views are different on this than many people's, but it just seems incredibly irresponsible the type of money that some people spend on weddings. Unless you come from a wealthy family $80k would go a long way towards establishing yourself and your new marriage, instead of spending it on what is essentially just a big party
Almost every guy will agree with you, almost every woman will disagree with you.
Ubtil it's their wedding or their daughter.

The correct answer is VIOLENCE

I must have found a rare gem. My wife was 100% opposed to an expensive wedding and took the money to establish ourselves like responsible people should and not just some silly event that you pay for other people to enjoy aka a wedding.

You obviously haven't priced a wedding lately
I have, as well as 2 friends who are also planning weddings right now so it's a frequent topic of conversation. I think the typical range in Seattle is less than half of 80K. 80 would be a full blowout. I don't know how we could get that high even if we tried.

During the reception is one thing (and still trashy), but during the ceremony? I'm pretty sure someone would throw down over that.
And the more I see prices of weddings, the more I just want to say frick it and elope.

My ex-girlfriends family was very poor so I understood that money would be a problem if we were to get married. But then she said that she didn't even think that her parents knew they were supposed to be the ones to pay for the wedding. How in the hell does a man in our society not KNOW that it is custom and usually his responsibility to be expected to pay for the wedding? Well, it never happened so I didn't have to face that question but it still baffled me that she said this. Either her parents are extremely ignorant (which the are, but still) or they were choosing to 'not know' this is custom.

It's kind of a stupid, antiquated custom that has lost its relevance in our modern society, if we think about things logically. I know that things don't always or typically work out logically. But still I wouldn't hold it against someone if they didn't want to be held to it.

2 questions:
NOW do you see why it makes ZERO sense to spend a lot of money on a wedding?
After being a trashy who're, why would you think you need anything more than a justice of the peace and a nice reception to celebrate nothing? You been living together with a bastard child for years.
actually, a 3rd and most important question
What type of dog?

When the custom started it wasn't insane prices like it is today.
It has gone full retard from stupid reality TV shows of females trying to out do one another. It isn't their money so they DGAF.
I think the groom should pay for the wedding just like I did for mine.

Biggest dick move of all time is pulling something like this. John ought to be ashamed of himself. It's his buddy's wedding. Not his. Very very selfish of him to do that.

I have a hard time believing that happened.
I had an (ex)brother-in-law who wanted to bring my sister up to the altar during my wedding to renew their wedding vows while my wife and I got married. (The priest and my parents put a stop to it, making sure my wife and I didn't know, and keeping the day about us.)
There are some clueless, selfish, attention whores in this world

Believe it or not, an acquaintance of mine put pictures up on FB of him proposing to his GF at their friends wedding. Incredibly tacky

Act as if everything is OK. When John and his whore go to tie the knot, interrupt their wedding by driving your 4 wheeler up the aisle and onto the stage.
Precedent has been set that, in you and John's friendship, it is OK to make the other's wedding about you. John's wedding day should now be about you, your 4 wheeler, and the ice chest full of Natty light on the rear rack.
And the original couple should be beat for spending $80k on a wedding. They should overfund their retirements and child's education.
Inflation and whatnot.

$40,000 was for HALF the wedding?
Sadly that's about right. Just got married last month. Shits expensive.

Honestly I might end of fighting him at the wedding if that's how it went down. That's bullshite
Posted on 6/4/17 at 12:27 pm to Peazey
John is a POS and I would no longer associate with him.
