    House.. with out a doubt. Weddings are a waste of $$$.
    Essentially they are about the two people and the vows. All the other stuff is BS.
    A house can be a much better investment.

    Elope on a beach somewhere... come back and have a cookout as the reception.
    IF or when I get married... thats what I am voting for.

    House, if you spend it on a wedding doesn't mean she will stay. kevin federline says it best, "You don't need a marriage certificate to say you're in love with someone." She can be gone tomorrow.

    If you have a down payment on a house, that is a better option for you in the long run, with her or with out her.

    I had to do a double take on this comment; I have never seen anyone sincerely quote Kevin Federline to support their statement before

    LMAO :laugh:

    With just those 2 options -- def. house. I've never understood why people pay so much money on a wedding. If your friends want to party they can go to a club.

    Neither. I own my house and will never pay for another wedding (if I ever get married again). I'd save it for my retirement. Yes - I guess I'm THAT old compared to you :)

    Only those two options? Definitely house.

    Neither, actually. I already have a house and 20k equity in it. and I'm not interested in spending thousands and thousands on a wedding, a single day of my life. I'd rather go on an extended vacation(s) with my significant other and see the world - macchu picchu, italy, australia, african safari, new zealand, spain, scotland, germany, greece - all on my list of places to go/see. All that would take more than 20k, I'm sure, but I'd get quite a few of those checked off, and I think the memories with my significant other created from such a trip would far outweigh a stressed out wedding day where everything is expected to be perfect/etc.
