This actually makes me kind of sad. It used to be enough to say, "I just want to marry you now, we don't have to make a big show of it." Now we say, "I love you, but we if we don't have the money to make a giant grandiose event of our wedding, we have to put it off until we do." And every decade the traditions and standards just get more and more complicated.
The cost and spectacle of weddings have fluctuated throughout human history, depending on culture and social class. We're not even close to the most elaborate/expensive customs right now.
Laughed so hard at the 'meld your own ring'. My grandmother's engagement ring was a large Japanese pearl he dove for himself. The ring was capable of holding 10 supporting diamonds but only held two since it was all he could afford. The story behind it is worth more than the ring itself.
The fact that Brad helped his buddy to cover the ring says a great deal about there friendship. I LOVE THAT!!! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!
Congratulations on your engagement, Jake! My wedding was definitely more like Grandpa Brad's, only in 2015. My engagement ring was one of my husband's great-grandma's rings. Our wedding party was two bridesmaids and two groomsmen. Our guest list was barely 100 people. Our reception was at the local Senior Center, our food was burritos made by a family friend. Our first night was at a Super 8. We didn't do a honeymoon and my husband was back to work two days later. All in all, the cost was about $3,500 and we paid for the whole thing. But here we are, even more in love with each other than we were on that lovely, simple wedding day. And six kids later, lol! God has blessed us!
I got married in 1995. I wasn’t interested in a huge wedding. His dad was a pastor so we got married there by him. His grandmother played the piano and his sister sang. My aunt did all the decorations. Two of my cousins had been married recently so she just used some of their stuff lol. I got the dress at a discount bridal shop. Our friend took pictures. I think the only expensive thing was the cake and I only got one bite of it. No big reception. Just the cake and punch. We didn’t want to start off married life in debt. I think some women are more concerned with their wedding than the actual marriage. We’ve been married 27 years and have 5 kids and are happy. I don’t regret not having a big wedding. The whole day went by so fast it was a bit of a blur anyway lol.
My grandma and grandpa got married at a church with one witness. They then went to the movies. My grandma wore a nice dress suit and my grandpa a nice suit. It was nothing fancy and they were together 60+. My grandpa died near the beginning of the pandemic from dementia
Grandpa's sportin' some stylish lilac glasses, there. I like how he shouts AT ALL TIMES. I got married 28 years ago. Can't imagine all of the crap people deal with now during planning. I think grandpa's scenario sounds much more desirable. "You walk down the aisle. You say I do. She says I do. You walk back up the aisle together." Simple, really!
@@SeraphinaoftheBayou Yes! Brad & Jake have a podcast together, ghostrunners podcast, and did a special episode telling the whole story! Here is the link to it! ruclips.net/video/uMlbIeUjnPM/видео.html
Hysterical! And CONGRATS on the engagement!! I married an introvert who gave me an extremely heartfelt, totally private engagement-asking experience. :-)
Glad to hear that. You can bet I will make sure any potential fiancé knows to skip the lights-camera-action business. I don’t understand wanting to make a production out of such a personal moment, but maybe that is the introversion talking!
Same here! It was very significant to our personal experiences with each other and very special. We later saw a guy propose at a cheese factory in front of a long table of their loved ones and it was sweet but me and my husband looked at each other and at the same time said "ours was better".. lol
Wicked funny! I got married in 2009 and I spent $3,000 on everything. Got married at a restaurant with a justice of the peace. With some family and friends. Then was able to spend a week in Vegas for ourselves. Please don't go crazy for 1 friggin day .
Cool, so that’s $4,150 nowadays; NOT counting airfare and hotel costs for the trip to Vegas And assuming there WON’T be post-Covid complications/mark-ups for renting out the restaurant The world’s different now. $3000 won’t even get a nice dress! You could thrift; but again, post-Covid.
@@mc-rn8ro Omfg! I can't even imagine the bullshit fees now! I actually did get my dress from a second hand bridal shop, It was $60 , I got a black dress so I could reuse it. It has 3 layers to it and I'm a busty gal, so I also paid $60 for alterations to the dress. We got lucky, my FIL gave us his room points for the Mirage hotel, he used to travel a lot for his job.
I got married in 2014...$1500! My uncle is a pro photographer, we had Mexican friends make a fab Mexican meal, used my husband's work shop for the reception with rented chairs and tables, married at our church, dream dress from Goodwill, made my own bouquets and flowers with hobby lobby flowers...still love how everything turned out. Oh and pulled it off with a 6 week engagement!!
My friend did the Vegas wedding Super Cheap and already a vacation for the whole family to come when you offer them a free buffet dinner at a restaurant. I think she paid 2000$ for everyrhing
First off, I absolutely ADORE grandpa’s idea of a wedding, however, he’s mixed up his war story- first he was in Vietnam, then he switched over to WWII, so not sure just how old grandpa is, & finally, the best of all, congratulations to Jake on his engagement! Awesome!👍✅❤️💖💜🧡💙🫶🏻💗🫶🏻
I always think of the line from Ed Sheeran's song Nancy Mulligan about his grandparents' wedding "we got married wearing borrowed clothes". It didn't matter that they had nothing, they did the best they could because they wanted to be together
I didn't grow up in church but I thought that most Americans did. I was very surprised to grow up and learn that it wasn't the norm to have a church wedding. I guess I got that expectation from movies or something. 😵💫
Ours was under a picnic shelter with fall colors all around. 150$ dress and my old cowgirl boots 100$ cake 40 people, 600$ catering and done. Brother in law who is a photographer did the pics and did a beautiful job. Honeymoon was a cabin with a fireplace at our favorite mountain hike location. Super simple but exactly what we wanted and loved every minute of it.
Lol. I was trying to figure out how many years Grandpa Brad was fighting: -Normandy stormed June 6, 1944 -Vietnam war 1954-1975 Then I found Grandpa Brad may have also been in the Korean War as well! 😱 According to an article regarding the topic on the VA website, "John Lavra enlisted in the Navy on June 6, 1944 and went on to become one of only 171,000 U.S. service members to see service in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam." Started of as a joke but ended with major respect for these 171,000 Veterans and their tireless service!
Dammit, SO funny! Husband’s parents gifted cost of foods served and flowers, my mom gifted our wedding cake, family friends gifted us use of their home for reception, dressmaker re-deposited check for my dress - her gift to us. He paid $300.00 for suit. Othewise, we spent $300 on everything else. Oh, and a family friend provided our transportation... a gold Rolls-Royce. Haha, that part was a complete surprise. LOL Good times. Word had it it was one of the best weddings many friends and relatives said they had ever been to.
We got married in 2018 and spent less than $6000 on everything including the rehearsal dinner and honeymoon. My grandparents gave us their original wedding bands from when they got married at 16. I loved our simple church wedding, and I wouldn’t do anything differently.
Our wedding was very non-traditional. Actually just got married today in Fort Lauderdale. It was low key. Of course, him& I are very selective introverts. It was for the best😅😊 People over complicate it, definitely. I live by a ‘I’m happy for you if you are happy’ mindset.
We got married in Kansas and drove 45 minutes to the Holiday Inn in Joplin Missouri. Next day we drove to Branson, before Branson was fancy! 😄 We only spent 3 days since my husband had Drill the next weekend. ❤️
This is so relatable lol planning my wedding rn in Chicago and all my family is from KS. The Topeka comment really got me! Lol my bridal shower is gonna be in Eudora so not so far from there. Love the content, congrats again Jake on the engagement :)
I had no idea that Jake was even seeing anyone since I’ve heard him joke about being single so many times! Granted, can’t remember the last time he mentioned that so maybe I’ve just been living under a rock. Either way, congrats Jake!! Super happy for you ☺️
Honestly with Grandpa on this one. I never really liked or remembered much from all those big elaborative weddings I went to. Also half of those weddings I went to were between people who act like they hate each other now so, generally speaking, I don't think it's worth all the effort. Let alone for someone you've known two years.
Why is my wedding sounding more and more like a Grandpa Brad's wedding? lol! My photographer was a friend was college. My husband proposed just to me, no photographer. lol! We had a dinner for immediate family after and my bridesmaid's mom made my wedding cake. lol! Seriously, though, I wouldn't change it one bit.
Whhhaaatt! Like finally! Congrats!! We need to hear the story and see the video!! Not a comedy one, the real deal!! Just don't change Jake! Be the some wonderful loving guy on Jean shorts that we have all come to know and love. Many blessings on your future marriage!
My husband found an Edwardian style 100 year old ring on Etsy. Proposed on top of a mountain once we spent 3 hours hiking to the top. We spent about $300 on our wedding. Aaron wore a suit he already had and I wore his mom's wedding dress. We got married at 2 pm at our church and had cake reception in the basement. The cake and photography were donated as gifts from friends. I had one bridesmaid between my husband's two groomsmen. We took a 2 week honeymoon. Drove from South Carolina to Ashville at the Biltmore Estate, then Washington DC to see the Smithsonian museums, then drove all the way to Nebraska to see my family who threw us a small reception because they couldn't fly to SC for the wedding. Then we drove all the way home. That time together in the car was a perfect way to spend that time together. 🥰 If I could change anything, I would just skip the official wedding altogether and just gone to the courthouse. We have been married 6.5 years now!
I’m 2010 my fiancé and I were planning a hee-YUGE wedding. We decided a few months into planning it wasn’t for us, threw an engagement party, invited 40 people, and got married at the party. No regrets 😊
My grandmother (not grandma, grand*mother*) got married during WWII when there was a shortage of white fabric and there were no dresses to be found in white. Her dress was from Goldsmith’s (now Macy’s) or some other bridal boutique in Memphis. It’s mustard yellow with velvet trim and embroidery in green, brown, orange, and maybe purple? I really want to wear it for a photo/video shoot while I play violin in the woods in autumn but I haven’t done it yet. Someday🤗I’ll do her favorite hymns or the chart toppers from the 1940s.

Right? Its stupid. Simple and cheap. Let the in-laws do all the work😇
Nah. It depends on the people. My best friend got married for $200 for the celebrant. Then we went back to her place and had tea
A lot of it is solely for social media and seeking validation from others. There’s no other excuse to go into extreme debt for a wedding.
And the divorce rates get higher and higher.
The cost and spectacle of weddings have fluctuated throughout human history, depending on culture and social class. We're not even close to the most elaborate/expensive customs right now.
Laughed so hard at the 'meld your own ring'.
My grandmother's engagement ring was a large Japanese pearl he dove for himself. The ring was capable of holding 10 supporting diamonds but only held two since it was all he could afford. The story behind it is worth more than the ring itself.
That is very cool. Extra sentimental since he dove for it himself.
That's really sweet. thank you for sharing
How beautiful!
😍 at that
and 🤣 at "tamp it down"
The fact that Brad helped his buddy to cover the ring says a great deal about there friendship. I LOVE THAT!!! Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!
I couldn't quite get past Brad wearing Trey's Gen Z glasses 😄 Congrats Jake!
I knew those glasses looked familiar! 😂
Congratulations on your engagement, Jake!

So similar to my grandparents. I hope more people take a page from the past and simplify the process. What matters is the love and the commitment.
Grandpa's sportin' some stylish lilac glasses, there. I like how he shouts AT ALL TIMES.
I got married 28 years ago. Can't imagine all of the crap people deal with now during planning. I think grandpa's scenario sounds much more desirable. "You walk down the aisle. You say I do. She says I do. You walk back up the aisle together." Simple, really!

How does one get in on said inside jokes from the actual proposal? Did he discuss it somewhere?
