re: The older I get, the sillier weddings seem

At the ripe age in my 30s where there is a wedding once a month
You can just look at some couples and see they are rushing the process
Keeping up with the jones' type thing where the best friend had a nice wedding now its your chance to one up her with yours!

My wedding was family and I think we spent $2,000 total and that included a nice dinner at a restaurant

I just don't get it at all. I have never enjoyed weddings. I am currently engaged and told my SO that we are going to elope.

So many marriages end in divorce that it's hard to take weddings serious.
The whole thing seems like such nonsense.
Hard not to laugh when brides come strolling down the aisle wearing white.
We're supposed to suspend reality and pretend she hasn't banged 50 dudes already.
While that's not always true, many times it is. Best thing to do is move on and

I thought weddings were silly DURING my wedding.

I can't get passed people of medium income spending 35-50K on a freaking wedding.
You could do a small wedding and put a down payment on a home.

People now a days spend more time planning the wedding than the marriage.

JFC, it's not avocado toast that prevents them from buying houses, it's shite like that! I spent $30k and we were both ~10 years into our adult careers.

How are you actually ensuring this, though? How did the conversation go? Or are you just going to start the car in your garage the next time wedding planning starts?

Would you say that's the dumbest thing you ever did, or have you done worse?
Because that was pretty dumb.

It’s all nothing but a business to make women feel they have to spend thousands on a party

And that's exactly the problem.
We live in a post-obligation society. People do not relate to a marriage in terms of their duty to it, they only relate to it in terms of what they get from it, and $75k weddings only reinforce that idea.
When the $75k party is over and the dust settles, far too often it's just the lighting of the fuse in which one or both spouses start making lists of what's no longer blowing up their skirt about the other partner until the whole thing collapses.
Women in particular have got to be reigned in on the wedding thing because you are exactly right. They can't think about a marriage and what that means for obsessing over the wedding.

Gave my daughter a budget and she stayed within it.
Son got married and his brides family paid 0..I Gave them a budget and they spent under budget.
Best investment was my grandchildren.
Tip...tell them here is budget and you don't pay for divorces.
Marriage is work ii is not playing house
