If you had 20k to spend on a wedding or a down payment on a house which would you choose?

    Well I would pay of most of my student loans(my undergrad and grad only total 40k..I know still alot)....if those were not the issue would put a dp on a house....not really wanting to have a big wedding (have to find a man first), but just looking to be small and quaint.

    House - no question. I've never understood people that throw these huge elaborate weddings (unless you're rich of course). When I got married we did a nice backyard ceremony in the summer and then had a big BBQ right there with all our friends and family. It was a blast and after food, booze, chair rentals, JoP, etc it only cost us about 2500 with about 60 guests

    I already have a house and don't want to get married again. Can I just go shopping or on a holiday instead??

    If those are my only two choices...HOUSE!!!

    (Marriage means a lot to me... a wedding means nothing)

    HOUSE!!!!!

    Weddings are pretty easy to spend less on if you know the right people and are willing to do a lot yourself, at least in all of my friend's experiences. You don't have to spend a ton for it to be classy.

    Neither. But, I would consider using it as a down payment on a rental property, and I guess that could be a house.

    If I had to choose, it would be HOUSE. I'd rather have a nice travel adventure with it though :bigsmile:

    Definitely house! Why blow so much cash on 1 day of memories when you can have a home to start a life times worth in?

    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

    I've got a house. So I'd spend it on a new car :bigsmile:

    No, actually, half on a car, and half on a new kitchen :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

    Does the wedding come with a man to wed? lol. If so, I'd choose that one.

    I want a condo, and am currently saving for my down payment, so part would go there and the rest to savings.
