    A HUUUUGGGGEEEE waste of money!

    Take the wedding budget, put it in an escrow account, and if the marriage lasts 7 years have a huge party to celebrate. If not, the two parties split the proceeds and go their separate ways.

    That is actually really smart and a great idea. I am a total hopeless romantic but I can't imagein taking out loans and being in debt for a huge wedding.

    You folks need to find richer parents (said totally in jest).

    Depends on the couple. It is YOUR (as in the couple's) wedding so you should have what you want, but that doesn't mean being a crazy egotistical self-centered couple of punks.

    What I mean is this: if you want a big party or event to share your joy with friends and family and let them share theirs with you, then you should have it. If you want something small and intimate without all the hoopla and keep it focused on the couple, you should have it. If you want to elope and have it be just about you, that's what you should do.

    But if you want a day that is all about you so you can have your guests grovel and treat you like royalty and have an excuse to spend money you don't have to "impress" people and feel like somebody, then you need therapy.

    We eloped, so ... it was about us, but we didn't make it a huge production that inconvenienced a lot of people like a Bridezilla might.

    My husband I bought a house so we didnt have a wedding. but once i lose all the weight he's agreed that we can do a small wedding at disneyland.

    I'd like my next wedding to be at Disneyland...just don't tell my current wife LOL :laugh:
