Fortunate that you and your wife are on the same page.

The big thing when people in my circle were getting married was "destination weddings". That was a complete other level of Kcuf-ery.


Just think about it, why would you want to start your marriage with a extra 30k in debt.

Most marriages end due to financial reasons.

Above the fray.

Yes, I think people aren't financially compatible and that's what unravels the marriage. They have different habits and priorities. That's why I was pointing out how you're fortunate. If you wanted to marry a woman who had her heart set on a fairy tale wedding....it would have been tough. Most reasonable women would meet her groom halfway on her "dream wedding". You have a wife who said F the big spectacle...let's put that towards our future life.

You can always buy a house you can't just redo a wedding 5 years into your marriage.
this logic is terrible house prices and interest rates change all the time, and usually house prices go up so the longer you wait the more expensive it'll be especially if you live in a city.

Nope...i took my wife to the courthouse. No debt, years later bought houses


Same here.
Went to the courthouse.
Stacked up. Built a house a few years later. We are in the south. We could not have done this up north or out west.

We are now in the process of trying to get a rental/possible retirement property in mexico. In a vacation spot on an island off of mainland Mexico.

imo nothing wrong with it. You have one wedding plus you can always make that money back. Not every life decision has to be financially motivated, happiness matters too.

And if you are dependent on a check as an hourly worker there is NO GUARANTEE that you will be able to Make that money back in the future

Hell no but... I compare it to going out and spending $50 at the bar at 18 when you have $100 dollars to your name.

Something like that give or take

I think he's referring about charging people to attend the wedding most of them are about 150$ nowadays so its possible to make part of the investment back + all the gifts
