My friend got married in the back yard of his parents house. His mom and grandma cooked the food for everyone and made the cake, our buddy was the DJ, and they were married by our physics teacher from highschool. It was probably the cheapest wedding I’d ever been too, but it was by far the best
Edit: If you think this sounds awful, please, spend as much money as you possibly can on your wedding. No ones stopping you
Yazid Fahhama what’s so funny about it?
Chris Sherman Probably how pathetic it was
natethegreat explain, what about it was pathetic?
Jeez why so salty ? Somebody got a scolding from mommy
Ok, that was well thought out, the food must have been 100% quality old skool cooking....
A wise man once said to me, “love is grand but divorce is 100 grand.”
🤣🤣
GOOD ONE!
My grandma when she was alive said love and marriage is like a ring around the asshole.now I know what that meant lmao
Or 100 million.
Why does it cost so much for a man to get divorced? Because it's WORTH IT.
The last wedding I went to was in a public park (which had really nice scenery for wedding photos). The bride and groom wore nice clothes that they already owned and had spent a couple hundred dollars on wedding rings. Instead of bringing gifts, the guests brought food for a pitch-in lunch. After the ceremony and lunch, we all played games. It was the only wedding I really enjoyed attending and the only one where children had something fun to do.
Awesome 🥰
This is more how weddings used to be, and how they are SUPPOSED to be!
@@playdiscgolf1546 i think weddings have only been like this during some sort of major war...
oh that is so cool
@nighttimedaytime1192 Obviously you are grossly ignorant of history.
My parents were poor when they got married, I mean my dad just got out of the army, my mom worked part time in a factory, so my mom made her own wedding dress using old curtains, my dad was wearing his uniform, the reception was at my grandparents apartment and the guests brought the food. My parents are still happily married. 🙂

Wow
True love 🥺
That's really awesome. God bless

My husband and I got married at the court house. A lot of people were upset from his side and my side, but we didn't feel like shelling out money for the entertainment of other people. It's our day, right? So who cares?
Chelsey I know what you mean. All of my girlfriend stop me when I talk about my simple intimate wedding. "No! You HAVE to have a wedding! You HAVE to have a part afterwards! You HAVE to make it super pretty and let us help you plan it!" Or! Or or~ I do an hour of planning and make myself happy. Weirdos.
my wife and I did the exact same thing, except just at the DMV because court house added another $80 lol!
My wedding was a process. And long and involved process. But even though I would do it all again because it was a fun time, I tell all of my friends who aren't married yet to just go to city hall. Buy a nice dress and suit, totaling about $300 together, and then have a big party afterwards at the house or something. It can be done in a matter of days.

My wedding cost $500. My divorce cost $135,000. I’m sure there’s a proportional formula in there somewhere.
Was it worth it? The regular-ish sex, starting a family, buying a house, and so forth. All for it to go to shit when she filed the divorce papers and starting banging Chad in your own home?
Sorry, bro.
Ouch..
Life goes on, Fortunately some of us learn from our mistakes
😂😂😂, sorry guys I had to laugh... Also it's something to learn.
I got married to the girl I grew up with. We knew each other's faults and decided that we could live with each other. My wife also decided that there shouldn't be any debt the day after our wedding so we had a small wedding with relatives and a few very close friends.

Go to the courthouse, get married, and go on a nice honeymoon. Then come home and put that money towards a down payment on a house.
This is the way.
Nope. Don't get married at all. Marriage doesn't offer a man anything he can't get for free by staying unmarried.

1. No marriage.

If people spent as much time, effort, and money on their marriages as they did on their weddings, there would be far fewer divorces.
Problem is, after the marriage they dont have the money or energy for that anymore.

@@builder396 They don't have the money or energy for what anymore?
@@brentshearer5757
There are so many articles about this now that I feel like you've been living in a closet. Most divorces have been initiated by women and their excuse is that they were "bored." This is a statement that I have seen more times than I can count and many studies have shown as well. It has a lot less to do with the man who has everything to lose mistreating the woman, and more about the woman who has everything to gain, taking away the man's resources.

Come back with an actual scientific study.
One of my best friends and his fiancé were fed up with all the planning and expectations. They said "fuck it! lets get this over with" and moved their wedding up from a year away to two weeks away! Brilliant move....the attention went from "how fancy will it be" to "can they pull it off?". It became very exciting to witness....people offered to make food, offered to make a cake.... it became a family/community effort.....it was an amazing wedding full of amazing people and didn't put anyone in the poor house!!!!

My dad is a pastor and I've been to so many weddings and funerals I lost count. He would even use the same suit for both ceremonies. He never charged any money and tried to counsel the couples financially and emotionally. I thought when I was younger it was cheap but as I got older I realized he was doing these couples such a huge favor and giving them a leg up on life. Kudos to you, dad!
I hope he at least washed that suit between the two ceremonies. Cause one is a celebration and another is mourning. If he used it without washing...it can curse the bride and groom. Hope he changed shoes too cause at a funeral obv it's a cemetery soil.
God bless your father.

2)Find out you two aren't compatible and hate each other for a few months/years
3)Spend over 20 grand on divorce
Don't forget child support
The secret is to disown the child
My hubby and dated for a year and a half (long distance) before we got engaged, then we spent $2000 on the wedding and a lot of the stuff was ether things we already had, for things for food and stuff like that (I spent $100 on my dress and I still wear it ❤️ I’m actually gonna wear it tomorrow)
@@frogyman4162 and alimony
Exactly! Hollywood has duped the masses!
Fact - The more expensive the wedding, the higher chance it ends in divorce.
One of the top reasons in divorce is differences in finance.
well i guess that's why my parents never divorced
+The Back of Beyond agreed and put the $$ towards practical things like a house or saving for retirement.
You know why divorce is so expensive?... Because it's worth it.
It's a fact. The institution of marriage has nothing to do with love, sure there are symbolic meanings/gestures but it is more for legal and financial benefits.
If there is more focus, time spent and planning on the wedding then the relationship preceding it, there's a good chance the marriage will dissolve shortly after.

Abir Greenberg This was actually one of my favorite ones they've done, but I get what you mean, since I though the insurance one was extremely forced.
Long ago, wedding was a means to solidify the marriage. Villagers gathered and all were witnesses. Yes, the marriage took place, we all saw it. An engagement ring, presented by the groom, served as a kind of security, if the man broke his promise, the woman kept the ring as a compensation. But now all these rituals are obsolete.
Friend of mine took out a loan to pay for the wedding. Divorced after 3 years and still had to pay for 6 more months.

I do wedding photography and this is a hundred percent correct.

Yeah, the video didn't even mention the cost and annoyance of wedding pics. I've also photographed some weddings, and it recently occurred to me just how stupid and forced all those traditional poses are.
Jett Allyson The poses, the family is nagging the wedding photographer about how they want their photos to look. Speaking of poses, you have kids that would not stand still.
Technically speaking, you're part of the problem.
Also, let's be honest. Do wedding photos need to look amazing? After the wedding, you'll likely never see the photos until years later for a few minutes. I was happy with everyone sending me the photos they took.
"Spend 2 months salary on a wedding ring"

back in 2002, my wife and i checked out a destination wedding. $7200, not counting accommodations, food, rings, or travel??? haha, yeah right. like we were gonna pay $10-11k for a wedding.
we ended up spending $1900 cash (which we saved beforehand) for a destination wedding in new orleans, which we drove to. i paid $1300 for her modest engagement ring + band, which is what she wanted. my band is silicone and cost about two dollars.
we splurged a little on a nice B&B and a nice dinner the night we got married. total price tag, plus gas + food for the week: about $4400.
never bothered us at all. it's the way we wanted it, because neither of us cared about fancy weddings. we just wanted to be married and have a life together.
21 years later, here we are, still happily married.
Congrats on your happiness ! But pray tell, what is a band in this context ?

I like this do u have a longer version of ur story??
Cost of Wedding $150.00. Years married 30 and counting. There are other factors in having a happy long marriage. We we're both the middle child. She had two sisters I had 2 brothers. Our parents were both married till death do us part. Our parents were very similar in their upbringing. I was 18 when she asked me to marry her. I was very reluctant. We had our first set of twins when I was 20. Children change EVERYTHING. Our marriage has been far from perfect. One time, many years ago, she threw her Purse at me, I deserved it, I ducked at just the right time and it went through our living room window. You have to really piss of a Lady to cause that kind of a reaction. Point is, we have definitely have some bad times but we manage to get through it. Marriage isn't perfect. It takes committment and sometimes sacrifice. If you can't give either of those save your money because the cost of a Wedding means nothing to a marriage.
that is $5/yr... see if you can get it down to $3.50... Tree-Fiddy
simple things go a long long way..... keep going mate..
I admire your thinking, you're a damn genius. I'll be sure to keep this in mind if me and my woman ever get married.
30 yrs ago, a lot of females were in their right minds. Females today are not. They're all confused.
They won't tell you this, but feminism and hollyweird is the single biggest reason why marriages fail.
My wedding was the beginning of the worst 12 years of my life . My divorce was the beginning of the best 6 year's of my life . We both ended up with 2 great kid's in the process and I know this is extremely rare but we get along way better apart than we every had together. I can't even remember the last time we argued about anything. We share custody of our kid's and can't even remember the last time we argued about anything. Some people just aren't meant to be with each other .
3 typos. Good ending.
Don't forget the 3 rings of marriage:
1st : Engagement ring
2nd: Wedding ring
3rd: Suffering
...one ring to rule them all...
Lmao

Expensive weddings are for the rich or for the stupid.
Marriage is for the stupid (man)
Roger is gooooooood.
There's a difference between the rich and the stupid? Really?
TheRedstoneDiamond || TRD it’s not and because some people are poor and stupid. It should’ve been “rich and/or stupid) you can be either or. I’ve heard of people spending eye watering amounts of money like tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars they don’t have. So yea u can be poor and stupid. I don’t consider people who are rich stupid. Of course there are some exceptions, but people who are doctors, surgeons, engineers, innovators, entrepreneurs, and make a boatload of money as a result of their careers/life choices; aren’t stupid. Coz it takes brains to get it that point of wealth. Be it traditionally like college or I traditionally like starting a successful business. Maybe the rich just do it coz they can afford to have as many weddings as they want without it affecting hem negatively. U know? Like Who the fuck cares if a blow $200,000 on my wedding if a make a seven figure salary🤷🏾♀️ so tbh it really should’ve been poor and stupid🤔 coz a lot of rich people (again there are lots of exceptions) aren’t dumb if they waste money it’s coz they can afford to waste money and still live like a king.
It’s funny actually because my family had a huge expensive wedding while the people getting married weren’t that rich, and my other cousin married someone who’s family is rich and has estates all around the world, and they didn’t have a Dj, photographer, cake or venue, they just had the wedding on one of their estates, and also the bride didn’t wear a wedding dress, just a regular dress. ( she still looked really pretty though:)
my girl want to spend money on honeymoon not wedding and guests who will talk trash about us during celebration
Let me spend thousands on my wedding, invite you, and have you kindly talk shit about me among yourselfs. Its crazy how many fake people get invited to weddings. Its such a scam. Good on you that your girl want to spend it more on yourselves.
Only girls want a wedding, grown women want honeymoons.
Yeah, weddings these days are parents somewhat only way to brag about how much money they could spend or you could spend to show how successful your family are to people they barely saw or even talked to and people you never really know because they had to be there for some reason or another as if it was important. For all that money you could a lot of stuffs that mattered longer than 2-3 hours of pointless turd.
amj047 that's awesome
He could do another video why Honeymoons are scams!
As a kid my father said "The more expensive the wedding, the shorter the marriage." I think he was being snarky and cheap at the same time but I have seen lots of weddings and the trend seems to hold.
Sometimes it's true. My parents got married in a civil ceremony with only five other people attending, then they went home, nothing more. No fancy dress, no formal suit. They will soon be able to celebrate their Golden Jubilee. If they choose to.
It makes sense. The more money you spend on a wedding , the more you care about the event itself rather than the person you're marrying. If you have a cheap and simpler wedding, it shows that you don't care as much about the ceremony and just want to spend time with your SO. Obviously, there are exceptions. Some people just want a nice, fancy wedding. But you don't need to go overboard and spend like 30k just for a party.
I wish to experience it. Solo living isn't exciting. I couldn't survive the friendless lifestyle long term.
@@alansun70 Being married is very different than spending a lot of money on the wedding. Also unmarried and friendless are different dimensions- some married people have no friends, including the spouse, and some unmarried people have loads of friends. But I hear the sentiment.
I would say the more fake a marriage because I have seen fake marriages last for 40 and more years.
The best advice on this came from my high school math teacher “Just elope, it’s cheaper, shorter, and there’s fewer strangers attending.”
Even better advice: Just don't get married.
My mom said that same thing; she had the whole huge Catholic mass wedding, she told my brother and I, if you ever get married just elope, and save the money for something that really matters.

Murder is the deliberate killing of a human being. Plants are not human beings, therefore the word "murdered" doesn't apply here.

Might be more expensive but because I’m an orchid lover it might cost more but if I have a wedding I want potted orchids (really pretty ones) on the tables so that instead of throwing them away I get to take home a fuck ton of my favorite flowers👀. Side note: I used to be a server for weddings and sometimes we got to take the leftover flowers home :)
Don't forget. After you get married you must absolutely move into a different house. Those insurance companies need more money.
why
+Brandon Ferguson because they said so
The logic behind that is there won't be resentment over who actually owns the house and thus has greater financial leverage in the relationship, but let's be honest, even if the man owned the house before getting married and never put the wife's name on the deed she will be the one getting the house in the divorce.
how sad is it that people already expect divorce when they just got married? :/

That’s why I got married in a pretty $30 dress from amazon, my mom made my cake, we got married at the courthouse with our close family and best friends present, and had a cheap but Pinteresty reception that everyone brought food to pot luck style, the whole thing cost about $300 and it was a beautiful and fun day with great pictures taken by my sister in law
Where do you live? I'm gonna marry in your town
See that's the type of wedding I want.
Attauddin Noori I live in Montana, it’s really beautiful here but why is my town specifically better for this type of wedding?
Sarah says hello honestly 10 out of 10 would recommend, another fun thing is that my mom and friends put the left over food into Tupperwares in a cooler in our trunk so we got to eat yummy left overs on our honey moon since we stayed at a cabin in the middle of nowhere
Most of the weddings I've been to were like this, but I've been to one backyard wedding that was truly special. They chose things exactly how they liked it, without regard for how a wedding 'should' be. It was all about their own happiness and their guests having fun.
That was my wedding. Backyard wedding, we cooked the food, hired a karaoke D.J., my friend set up a chocolate fountain. Less than a thousand bucks. We bought our rings at Wal-Mart for five bucks. This year will be our fourteenth anniversary.

I fired my "beloved" after she wasted 2 1/2 years in planning. Her answer was always, "This is the most important day of your life. You can*t rush it." After 2.5 years, and the estimated cost already >$50,000 with me paying for ALL of it (her dad was dead on mom a financial wreck) I asked her "What the hell?" She answered that she had no idea but we were less than half way there. I literally walked out and never looked back. Thirty years later she is still single. Funny how that works.

Nice
All weddings, my arse!
Best wedding I ever went to was 2 of my closest friends, there were about 30ish people, all tge clothing was pre owned, the cake was made by the bride's sister, we all had phones with cameras so we provided our own wedding photos, the ceremony was in a registery office, we had a meal afterwards in a pub, we provided the music (I sang and played a big folk drum), and afterwards we all went for a walk on the beach, there was no real best man or bridesmaid...
and it was so full of heart, and joy and love. It was one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen
In conclusion,
FUCK YOU WEDDING INDUSTRY!
If I ever have a wedding, it'll be like that!
Oh, and the bride made the wedding rings herself, she's a black smith :)
We did the ceremony, outfits, rings and reception for £500 and a house party with friends. We were given £750 in gifts. If you can't go completely self sufficient, surely making a profit is the best kind of wedding?
As a person who is both a bit of a blacksmith and has done a little jewelry work (even made a couple of silver rings, they really are rather different. And you probably don't want a steel or iron ring, it's one of the many metals which leave colored marks on prolonged contact with skin (as do aluminum and copper, while silver, nickel, gold, and titanium don't I believe). Still, fucking awesome. That's the sort of thing I'd want to do, though I don't even like the legal aspect of marriage. Just a ceremony and commitment, if I need to get the government involved in my relationship it's not one worth having.
+farmerboy916 She told me what they were made of but I can't remember, but I think it was a mixture of gold and silver. I do remember that they were made from one peace of juelery from his family

I had a friend who said that the quality and expense of the wedding reflected the quality of the marriage. Her dad spent a plie and she dumped him after about 10 yrs. My wife and I spent less than a grand and we're still together after 35yrs.
If reflects the probability of premature failure, I suppose.
He was technically right. Just not in the way he expected
Your friend was very stupid indeed. I'd guess she still is, because that level of stupid runs deep.
😂🤣🤣 I'm 38 & never had a girlfriend. No one I've ever met before can say anything like that. Fact is my kind of loneliness is incomprehensible for luck boats who have never been in my situation. But if you believe for one second that I would not trade waking up in tears, breathking heart palpitations & so much more i have

Sounds nice.
If she's not happy with a small wedding (less than $5000 for everything including the ring) then she's not marriage material. My wife proposed to me when I had $100 in my bank account. 20 years later we are still together.

@@MidnightPolaris800 hey...it worked out afterwards. Not many people can boast a 20 year marriage...especially one from a cheap wedding....
@@MidnightPolaris800 Her proposing to him is the most respectable thing ever. Men are the prize. We are the protectors and providers. She saw the value in him and asked for his protection. Women need men, not the other way around. A real genuine and feminine woman will only do that for a MAN so obviously you cant relate or understand. All these other men proposing to women look weak, getting down on one knee is a feminine submissive role. This society is backwards. Props to the guy for finding a rare woman and being a man she looks up to and respects. Only a "soy boy" begs for a woman to stay with him because hes weak and needs her.
The way he says fuck you pay me is so damn smooth it's breathtaking.
From what i have seen, i think i can conclude that most of the time, the less they spend on the party the more harmonyous married life await them
thats statistically true, the more money you spend on the ceremony the more likely you are to end up divorced
* marries at bus shelter *
your statement seems to be correct
It may not be a guarantee, but it sure helps to start out married life without a huge debt looming over a couple (or a huge dent in the bank account).
Recently saw a wedding online with beaming husband next to bride surveying all the grandeur. Not difficult to figure out she wanted the wedding display most of all with the pre hen outing abroad and at home then a lavish ceremony. It's a shame as I predict divorce when his income doesn't meet her lifestyle needs, at which point she'll strip him bare. Bizarre that she actually was a stripper for some time. The worst marriage proposal of all because they're all about the money. False boobs, long legs, blond hair, blue eyes, and hard faced, unless she's getting what she wants. But guys are fooled by the sob stories of failed relationships and white knight these liabilities. Narcissism laid bare. But good luck, and fortune, which he'll need to perpetuate it. Looking across the spectrum of friends of hers it's one long competitive sport to outshine each other. The debts must be vast. No wonder the guys look worn from all the hours they work to pay it all off and sustain the illusion lifestyle afterwards.
Simplicity speaks volumes about the actual love within the couple. It is, after all, they who will cohabit, not all the parasites they think they must seek approval from, or fulfilling their families dreams. Love is rare and precious. The marriage trade reveals the dark side of relationships where shared goals, aims, and lifestyles, mean far more. It's one monumental sham. Yet girls are indoctrinated from an early age to expect it. The biggest day of your life!
My wedding with a restaurant cost $700, grandma decided to pay for it. Rings were $400 for both. We divorced two years later. Imagine if I spent $20k+ on the wedding? 😂

Yup. why do people get the impression that a wedding HAD to be expensive? it doesn't
No marriage is a quite different thing. Wedding is a expensive scam in many ways. But well people pay for it because it seemed to be needed to have a "good wedding".
This should have been titled, “why weddings are scams, just go to the courthouse to say I do”.
Right!! Spend the money on a nice honeymoon!

Priceless!
After attending three weddings so far this year; my girlfriend and I have opted to elope.
The only thing I'm spending a decent chunk of change on is a circle of expensive metal and lab grown covalently bonded carbon chunk...
Do as you want but that's still just a silly as over spending on anything else.
It's so true. I got married 4 months ago. Did the whole traditional thing. I'm crafty anyway so I made a lot stuff and we had friends help us out and get discounts. While my wedding was only about $10,000, that' still $10,000 that could still be in my bank account now and I wouldn't love my husband any less. We should have just gone to city hall then had a big ass party in the backyard.
I knew a guy who paid $150 to hire a marquee, put it up in the back yard, got his parents to make some food and got married there. Why spend thousands?
Part of the "American dream" they try to sell you. Spend thousands to show off to all your family and friends how "successful" you are.
UberTech The answer is to not give a fuck about what people think
My hubby and I spent less than 3000 on ours. We got married in the mountains and we spent all the leftover money on an extra vacation! Honestly, the most expensive part was my dress at 500 bucks. The whole thing was pretty awesome, but we went totally nontraditional. I even wrote our ceremony since I had a 10 year old daughter we wanted to be a part of the whole thing. We bought her a silver locket and my hubby gave it to her before we kissed.
I approve of "city hall then big ass party in the backyard."
If I ever have a wedding, it’s just gonna be the legal court thing and a house party
@Flex tape Sealin you all up you can always sign a prenup

“Men aren’t afraid of commitment. Men are afraid of divorce.”
- Aries Spears
Marriage is maximum effort, minimum gain, and EVERYTHING to lose. Women couldn’t possibly understand.
Men marriage for love, women for interest
Ya women seems to actually be afraid of commitment, men are afraid of the lack of commitment from their partner
Actually I am, why should I put myself in that situation!? Commitment for what? I do everything for myself, with or without wife and children at the end we all gonna die.
When I was younger, I naively thought marriage was simply choosing the woman you care for most and mutually agreeing to tackle life together. I was interested in that. I'm *still* interested in that. Then I learned about the legal implications of marriage, divorce, statistics (most divorces are initiated by women, for instance), shamelessly biased family courts, and that even prenups can't fully protect you.
I realized that, no matter how in love I am with a woman, no matter how much I believe she loves me, there are a ton of guys destroyed by divorce who probably felt exactly the same as they were walking down the aisle. I swear, the only reason I haven't completely dismissed the prospect of marriage entirely is because my parents and grandparents on both sides have very strong ones, so I can't help but romanticize it some. I wonder if I'll eventually need to crush that feeling for my own good.

I would not marry a woman who demanded a big, expensive wedding; it would show that she is too materialistic.

What about another man who demanded a big, expensive wedding?
bob ross -- I would spoil her by getting a nice house for us to live in.
yeah but if you truly love her you would only get married once do you want that to be your strongest memory
I'm a woman, and honestly the biggest part is the dress, and we can get one pf those for a decent price (like 500 or less). Personally I believe both the bride and groom should agree on their wedding and be involved in it. I got married in the middle of no where in the mountains, and it was beautiful. I'd say if a woman only wants a huge wedding, she's definitely materialistic and unless you also share that quality, *run!*
Did a drive in wedding..
$30.
My wedding was $30.
The money we'd have wasted on a standard wedding, was instead used to fix a few things in our new house, buy a new car, buy some furniture, get ahead on bills, 'n bank the rest.
No debt.
Had a big family cookout as the celebration. No catering, no bullshit. Just a cookout. Free for us, dirt cheap for everyone else.
Add-on:
Her wedding ring was $80.
Rose gold ring with morganite.
Morganite is cheaper than diamonds and looks better than diamonds. Plus, a fact of life is that diamonds are actually extremely common. They are released in small quantities to artificially inflate the market. All them marriage ads about diamonds throughout history.... "2 months of your income for a diamond for your woman".... were done by them, the diamond/jewelry industry, and it worked. This is all easy to fact check to.
If your woman insists on a $1,000+ diamond ring... sorry... she's brainwashed by the media, and honestly, it's you or the ring.
As a GIFT later, sure. As a prerequisite to marriage? Hell no.
Oh and the jewelry industry inflates the price of jewelry by an average of 2,000%
Hence why you take in a $1,000 ring to a pawn shop and they offer you $50.
It's nearly worthless.
My ring was $60 off etsy.

In high school, for like no real logical reason, we had an assignment in a class to plan a wedding, which had to include financial details. The idea was to teach us how to plan things that cost money, but like, it for some reason had to be a wedding. Being the rebel I tended to be, especially when it came to bullshit assignments, I decided to do an elopement. Trip to the court house, pay the fee for the marriage license and whatever else it took, I think I added in the cost of a cab ride to and from the courthouse. I don't recall the final tally, but I think it was under 100 bucks. The dumb bitch of a teacher failed me for not taking the assignment seriously. Her reasoning was so flawed too, because she fell back on the idea that the real lesson was to teach us how to plan shit that cost money. Well, I had to wonder why I couldn't instead plan a vacation, or to start a business, or really anything that could teach me that lesson. Why TF were 15 year old kids planning weddings as a part of a class in school? And then I also fail because I planned what I would have thought was an actual common way people get married? (and several people I would know as an adult actually did). Man, what a dumb bitch. Can't even remember her name or the name of the class. In any case, hearing your story reminded me how mad I was when she failed me for basically pointing out that people don't always have lavish weddings, or for that, even get married.
Oh, the hilarious kicker, she said "I think you don't realize how much planning also goes into getting an elopement." Which I was like "Uh, are you not familiar with what an elopement is? I'm pretty sure that planning ahead isn't really the idea..."

Yes
Agreed. And travel is a worthy memory. Whats not worth it is spending awkward moments with family members for a wedding day. 😩
100% I want to spend little on the wedding and blow the money on an amazing honey moon aha
If a marriage provides a significant tax advantage why bother?
Honeymoons can be the most expensive part of a wedding with air travel around $1000 a person, car rental around $500, a 5 star hotel around 300$ a night if your lucky, eating out probably not at McDonald's so I'll say eating can cost around $100 per person per meal, so if you stayed for a week youd spend well over 5 grand on a honeymoon and probably pretty close to 10 grand just to have sex in a new place, cause let's face it you will only leave the hotel for food and condoms making the car rental and air fare worthless, I mean let's face it at some point earth is earth and looks pretty similar everywhere, theres always a beach somewhere and a pretty sunset anywhere so main point stop throwing away money or you'll end up in a bad nursing home or force your parents into one, oh and the main thing everyone forgets is that time is money so your not just spending the 5+ grand on a trip but losing out on a full weeks paycheck so add somewhere around 2 grand to that total and that's hoping it doesn't make u short on taxes by the end of the year
I was engaged to get married a few years ago. All I wanted for the wedding was a small get together. I didn’t think a public show was needed. Getting married is about confirming the love that you have for each other. She wanted to invite so so many people. She wanted to have so many parties, plans and get together as ‘it was expected’. We set up the wedding, we planned it all, then just before the wedding, we realised that things were not right and we pulled the plug on everything. In a way, it’s just as well we didn’t go through with it. She married another guy within 6 months. I think she loves to be in the spotlight and to have this feeling of self importance.
man you did the right thing . this will have a butterfly effect on your life . you will realise this after some years how you saved yourself from hell . i wish you all the love and power
Sounds like she was cheating on you,dodged a bullet,saved a few $$$
There's literally nothing to be sad about here. Count your blessings, because you dodged a serious bullet. She was an attention slooot and isn't capable of truly loving anyone but herself
How can you break off an engagement and then get married again within 6 months? She was 100% cheating. If not, it definitely shows that she views marriage as just a big party and not a serious commitment.

My oldest n dearest friend got married at her home. Her husband's brother was a minister. The dinner was potluck. She used her mother's rings. No gifts, as they already had everything they needed. And none of the silly games everyone hates like "too drunk to find my foot" or guessing the bride's bra size. It was truly fun. And 40 years later, they are still going strong. And instead of blowing their entire life's savings on a ceremony that lasts one afternoon, they sent their daughter to college. Take that, wedding industry. And while we're at it, the funeral industry as well. :)
Married at justice of the peace 24 years ago. We both worked hard, retired at 55 with more savings than we can spend in the time we have left. Retirement is great, much better than I thought it was going to be. Probably because we are young enough to enjoy it. My wedding ring was $90. Plain gold band which is pretty scratched now. Don't care.
Finally, a comment that's not bitter. Congratulations on your 24 years of marriage and I hope you have many more happy years.
So give some of it to me :) $$
That's awesome to hear! My fiancee and I are working that goal. My ring was $70 and everybody thinks its gorgeous and cost $500+. I'm proud of it and wouldn't change a thing!

My husband and I got married 3 weeks after our first date (we met online 1 week before our first date). We went into the courthouse and walked out married. Everyone told us we rushed it and that it wasn't going to work out because we didn't know each other well enough. 😂 They were wrong. We're pushing 11 years now and our 10 year old son completed the package. Most the people with expensive weddings who told us we wouldn't make it are divorced, and some even expensively remarried.

After all, if my friend wants to point a gun at his head and pull the trigger once and I tell him he should not do that without first taking the time to make sure it's not loaded, I am not then wrong simply because nothing happened when he eventually did pull the trigger without checking. In other words, you got lucky. Nobody knows anyone well enough to get married after only 3 weeks. And even if you did, you have to ask yourself what the big hurry was. After all, everything in this universe has a finite life span and that includes romantic relationships. Your relationship is basically going to last as long as its going to last regardless of whether you are married or not. And in any case the emphasis should always be on finding the right partner and not simply on being married to someone. Marriage does not offer any actual security but people think it is does and so those who are very insecure in their relationship tend to want to marry very quickly. Like I said, you got lucky.
@@SLOBeachboy love at first sight is admittedly an illogical concept in theory and exceedingly rare in practical application so I would never expect anyone who hasn't experienced it to understand. I can't fault your opinion at all and would agree with you on principle. However, it takes zero pleasure away from proving them wrong over the years.
11 years is nothing. Good luck.
First , I married my wife ...
Then , I met her ...
Happy married life.

An uncle of me is an engineer. When he found out the cost of wedding rings, he made one himself out of a metal nut that he had.
Nobody will know if its brass or gold.
