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
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.
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 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.
This must be true, ours cost £4,000 (including a honeymoon in Italy) and we had 21 guests. We’ve been together 33 years, married 24 years and neither of us are going anywhere. My cousin spent £70,000 and it was over in 3 years.
By all means let’s pay $25K for a wedding that has a 50/50 chance of ending in divorce, and makes everyone anxious, and miserable. 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.
Nope. Don't get married at all. Marriage doesn't offer a man anything he can't get for free by staying unmarried. I live by these 3 pillars. 1. No marriage. 2. No living together. 3. No kids. These 3 have served me very well, and it keeps the women from getting that lazy attitude that they think they can just chunk-up and butch-up. And today, women have no dowery anyway, not even their virginity.
I managed a high end venue on the beach in San Diego. We held 3-4 weddings a week and most weddings were 50k plus. All I saw was stress and completely unoriginal weddings. I witnessed nearly 250 weddings and they all ended with me being turning the lights on at 11pm and at every wedding the bride realizing she just wasted 50k on a 8 hour party and she didn’t turn into a princess. Don’t have a big expensive wedding...nobody cares.
Pop culture and social media often romanticizes the human experience...peer pressure can lead people to feel like they have to uphold some standard or tradition when deep down they may not want to.
okthennone Agreed. Fact is if the people you invite to your wedding aren’t people you see or speak to on a regular basis, they probably don’t give a shit and are only there to be polite. Not worth wasting the money. My parents threw a BBQ the next day for the extended family who wasn’t invited to the wedding, which makes way more sense to me.
@Rachel Smith Still, it's an event designed to drain as much money as you can (not) afford. Maybe it won't cost you 50k, but it will certainly be an 8h party on your and/or your family savings (or worse, debt).
Means nothing. We married just the two of us and his brother was there to take pictures. Paid 300€ (papers only, had a nice white dress from prom), and I walked out after 5 years. He thought "We are married now, she won't go anywhere so I can behave like a lazy asshole" over the years.
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. 🙂
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. I was the happiest man in the world for over 33 years, unfortunately my wife died in 2018 from diabetic complications. Unfortunately, people are getting married for the wrong reasons and some aren't even in love.
You had the best situation b/c you two crossed paths by growing up and you got to enjoy it by choice for over 3 decades later ... but you know that. Good for you. I also see many couples marrying for the incorrect reasons.
You could spend tons of money on a wedding ,,,,,, OR you could spend the money on a down payment for a house, furniture and appliances and a decent car. YOUR choice.
Patrick Chubey YES YES YES!! I don’t want anything fancy and I have family members who keep saying well choose what’s most important to you and put the most money on that. I don’t care about any of that, what’s most important to me is the actual marriage. So, immediate family somewhere free in a reasonably priced dress and call it a day!
That's exactly what my husband and I did. I got married in a leather mini dress (it was the 90's), something I already owned, ditched the rings, and my hubby wore a leather jacket and jeans. We got married at the court house and had a party at home with our closest friends and family. I think the booze costs more then getting married at the court house. We went to a local hot springs for our honeymoon (super cheap) and it all costs less than a eight hundred dollars. We've been married for 24 years. We put our saving towards our 3-bedroom condo not a one day event, and it's almost paid off. Sorry big wedding are over rated.
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.
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!!!!
@@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.
@@Delimon007 are you for real, your proof is a google search with huffington post "5 reasons why" as the first result lmao Sorry your gf left you but dont go around claiming wild things blaming all divorces on women without backing it up Small tip: saying "its common knowledge!!1!11" doesnt make it more right. Come back with an actual scientific study.
@@syedadil1012 bc not all women are gold diggers. A lot out there are more than happy being modest and spending the money on the more important things in life. You know....like actually living a worthwhile life together as a couple instead of putting on a fake show for fake people
Seriously, I am so happy and proud of every person on this thread that flipped off the wedding industry and socially reinforced family expectations in the name of peace of mind and common sense.
My wife and I had a big wedding planned (her idea). But then the pandemic hit. We had to scramble to change our plans, and ended up getting married in our backyard and saving around $13,000. The weather was good and everybody enjoyed it. Instead of spending $900 on a DJ like we had originally planned, for instance, my nephew played DJ for 20 bucks, using my phone and an $8 Bluetooth speaker. We bought some flowers, but they were all live ones in pots. We danced, ate pizza, and drank cheap champagne in our own backyard while listening to old love songs. It was glorious. With the money we saved, we instead bought 10 acres of recreational land that we'll have for the rest of our lives. (My idea).
@@michaelsmith953 hmm.. yeah i can make a super good one for 10 people for 7 euros and it feeds them better than the fluffy filled with air chip bag ones
heres a terrifying wedding horror story: the last wedding i went to was exactly like the one before, the one before was exactly like the one before that etc etc etc its basically just like some kind of groundhog day nightmare just with different people each time
+Dave Birney My sister's wedding was different. They rented a big tent on her husband's father's land and they had a big potluck on a lake beach. The party costed less then what they received through gifts. Cause fuck the system.
+Dave Birney The last wedding I went to involved the bride making out with the bridemaids everyone getting wasted and having a rave then I somehow ended up with my half bro doing burnouts on top of a 6 story building. so yeah neato
***** Then I'm sorry for you, that you've got to learn the sad truth the hard way. I woul disagree in the sentence: "Never trust a woman ever!" I would just say: Never marry ever. And when you do, make a contract in the first place. Or live in a free relationship with no strict borders.
Or the soon incurred massive debt-slavery for a nice suburban breeding pen aka (a home) and all the trappings of engineered consumerism . Divorce Corp. is an excelent documentary on the profiteering in the "family law" industry.
2 months? Sounds like a dream... Where I live it's more like half a year (cause you split it with another person). And you should have average salary (and let us not forget average goes up by radical values, a.k.a multi rich)
Here's a real question. Why not have a court wedding, but the best damn honeymoon ever? Like seriously? A wedding is literally one day! But a honey moon is about a week!
Another idea is to tell the guests that you don't need china or a toaster but a fair share of the costs. Through a nice party for everyone, not only "the princess", have a blast together. A friend of mine got more money out than he spent xD
I performed as musician at hundreds of weddings, at which I would say, “Ladies and gentlemen, let’s have a big hand for the two happiest people here tonight, (applause) the caterer and his wife!” (laughter)
Yeah he should follow them around and say each thing at different times like when they're getting ready to call the wedding photographer, the DJ and the caterer lol.
The idea of a wedding with a whole bunch of people and all this attention on me and my relationship has always repelled me. I don’t even want my parents there lol
We got married at City hall and had a backyard BBQ for some close family and friends, no photographer, no paid music, no florist, no gift registry, no wedding dress and no diamond rings. Then we spent a month on our honeymoon backpacking around 3 countries. 13 years later no regrets.
I know people who have literally had no food in the house, ate at soup kitchens for weeks, can't pay their bills, are in debt up to their eyeballs, and cry because their bank account is constantly overdrawn; all while simultaneously shelling out thousands to pay for a "fairytale wedding" to trick people into thinking they're rich and classy....yet, if I got married in my backyard, had people wear whatever they wanted, had a potluck type reception, and basically kept things inexpensive, these same people would more than likely think that was trashy and sad....yet I have food in the house, my bills are paid, I OWN my house, car, and am in no debt whatsoever, and my bank account is in the black....still, sadly, most folks only care about an illusion....
@BlueTiger9948 this is why weddings should be strictly a religious ceremony. westerners are gonna have a horrible awakening when they realise how bad abandoning christianity was for society.
Personally, I don’t give a shit about what people will think about when I have my wedding if it’s inexpensive and they think it’s cheap and sad, it’s my wedding. You don’t like it? Don’t show up. More cake for me!!!
@@AlfredTheBrave, hang on, what? Christianity says it's a covenant before God and so must last forever, so how would not abandoning Christianity avoid the problem BlueTiger mentioned?
We almost threw a reception type wedding, but it was postponed due to covid. My husband and I decided to drop it and elope. Looking back, if everyone who we invited to the wedding came, we would regret a good handful of them now. Best. Decision. Ever.
20 years ago my friend spent $30,000 on his daughter's wedding, cuz she had to have the best. 6 months later she was divorced and Dad was working as much overtime as he could to pay the debt.
@@tk7806 Which is almost as bad of an investment. Ever seen how many Bimmers are on consignment lots, selling for 1/15th of their initial price? Garbage!
World's shortest fairytale... Once upon a time there was a handsome Prince. The Prince was in love with a beautiful Princess. One day the Prince asked the princess to get married but she said no and he lived happily ever after...
And then he spent every day at the bar and the clubs And spent his money on whiskey and f****d a different girl every day. And had tons of money!! Then he finally got up from the toilet seat!!
Typical love story: 1)Spend over 20 grand on wedding 2)Find out you two aren't compatible and hate each other for a few months/years 3)Spend over 20 grand on divorce
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
"Spend 2 months salary on a wedding ring" My fiance picked a $45 ring for hers lol. I tried to get her something better and she wouldn't let me. Guess I'm lucky.
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.
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.
@@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.
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 :)
My first marriage I did all this ridiculous shit. It was an epic waste of money and ended in divorce about a year later. My second marriage was at the courthouse for $86... and ten years later we still actually like one another! haha! These videos are great.
Same here. Blew tons of money on first wedding that ended in divorce. Remarried at the courthouse, showed up in our jeans and t-shirts. Very happily married. I’d marry him again in a heartbeat.
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 .
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.
+alfa0i0omega And the childrens advocate, and the court, and everyone related to the court, and the private detective & the paralegals who draft paper work & the mediator who convinces both of you to get as much money as possible because the longer you drag it out the more they make, etc etc. Divorce Corp: A documentary that should be mandatory reading for anyone looking to get married.
Everyone laughed when I proposed to my wife with my grandmother's engagement ring and went to the courthouse to get married. We looked at an actual ceremony, and decided that it was the equivalent to 3 out of the country vacations. So we chose the cheap "wedding" and travel option. Haven't regretted it once in the 10 years since. BEST. CHOICE. EVER
Smart move. Those 3 out of country vacations we be far more memorable and fun than that single wedding day which is actually a lot of stress and shared with a large number of people you barely know.
@@elijahbeach3834 So sad to read ur pain & oversight of understanding an Honest, lovely, biblical, never ending marriage. I am married ONE time for 26.6 yrs w/4 amazing children. U can hv this too, bt NOT w/the perspective u just posted. PLEASE don't allow the ways of this world to continue blinding u so tht u view tht whch TMH, God of YAHshrael hs ordained & said ws good as bad. Praying...bless u!
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.
Doesn't have to be. Ive been to friends wedding where his best friend got ordained online last minute, married them while wearing a scottish feather hat, then we all got drunk and sang karaoke and danced. All still completely binding. Best wedding ive been to.
If a person is single, the government is allready involved. It's called the bachelor tax. Getting married reduces your tax by half. So getting married reduces the governments involvment in your life.
My BFF got married, it was beautiful, and they spent $4K for the whole thing. Two other friends got married this year; one spent $60K, the other $11K. The $60K wedding was extravagant, too long and kind of impersonal, BUT it was absolutely beautiful!! The one that spent $11K had THE BEST WEDDING I've ever seen. It was intimate, elegant and beautiful, and the only reason it was so expense was because of the open bar. If they hadn't done that, it would have been around $5K. Some people marry in the backyard with a minister, cheese whiz and a box of crackers. *Whatever you decide to do, It Is YOUR Decision! Just remember: Please don't spend thousands of dollars to impress others. Do what YOU want!*
As a wedding server that has served 50* weddings in a year, I can confirm this is true, we actually had three weddings where the bride and groom fought right after the wedding ended. We always bet on who’s marriage would last💀💀 this video forgot to mention how the guests treat the servers.
I had the groom questioning everything. He was in finance and I dont know about her. I was just there helping friend with that photo booth with props thing.
😂🤣🤣 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 D-I-R-E-C-L-Y from years of heart shredding loneliness for what everyone I know bitches & complains about, (marriage), then I wish nothing but the daily agony I go through on a daily basis on each & everyone of you. No more truthful nor justified words have ever been said...
Didn't even break $1000 for my wedding. Got married outside under a willow tree in a beautiful garden, had a sweet little old family friend play the violin, then had a garden party reception catered by my mother and aunts. It was great ❤️
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.
I don’t marry because the laws are so lopsided in favor of women. If things don’t work out I am screwed financially & I have to pay the price for her poor choices/decisions in life. I might consider marriage if she would sign a prenup, but most women don’t want to because it makes things fair and forces them to take responsibility for their actions. They don’t want to “women up” so to speak If you ask her to sign a prenup you might hear things like, “If you really loved me you wouldn’t ask me to sign such a document”. Well the same could be said to her also. If she loved you she wouldn’t ask you to sign such a one sided contract called marriage in her favor either. I am not asking for things to be unfair, I just want a level playing field & things fair for both of us. Women keep saying that they are equal don’t they? You also might hear, “You’re expecting the marriage to fail or you wouldn’t be asking me to sign this”. She might throw in some tears for effect. Again this could be turned around to say, “If you weren’t expecting to “screw me” you would sign the prenup. So am I to understand that you don’t want to sign this prenup so that in the event things don’t work out you can screw the hell out of me? See what I am saying? All this could be turned around & thrown right back at her. If she argues these very valid points with you, that should tell you where her head is & you should really think about taking a “time out” and consider what you are about to do. Do you really want to legally connect yourself to a person who wants the cards stacked in her favor, nothing for you, everything for her, and won’t sign a document changing this to make it fair? She won’t’ sign a prenup agreeing not to screw you if “things” don’t work out? Sounds a little selfish & one sided to me. Just saying. This entitlement behavior/mentality shows that she is selfish & only thinking of herself. She wants all the marbles, wants to be in control, and will hand out only what marbles she allows you to have. If she won't sign a document making things fair & equal this shows that money is more important to her than love. It also shows that the marriage is not her primary concern, she is more concerned with material things and what she can get, not what she is bringing to the table, if anything at all. She’s a taker not a giver. Exactly what is she bringing to the table anyway? Sex?... and what else? You don’t have to bet married to have sex. What if after the marriage she decides to change the rules of access and frequency of sex? You are still bound to and expected to fulfill your part of the marriage contract even if she misrepresented herself and changes after you marry her, and now if you divorce her she gets half your stuff! Heaven forbid you were stupid enough to have any children with her. Think Paul McCartney. He was married for six years to Heather Mills and had to pay her approximately $40,000,000! For what? Did she work and earn any of that money? Yet she is entitled to it and complained that she felt she was being cheated and wanted more! She’s asking you to sign a document that says if things don’t work out she can screw you. If she really loved you she wouldn’t ask you to sign such an unbalanced document and would want what is fair for both of you. Not all the rules and everything in her favor and nothing for you and you get screwed legally and financially. She gets the car, the house, the kids, half if not more of your savings you earned before you married her (Paul McCartney anyone?), child support, half your retirement, future income, alimony, bad mouths you to the kids, makes you out to be a monster to the court so that you have limited access to your children or supervised visits. What kind of moron would enter into a contract like that outside of marriage? So why should it be any different in marriage? She’s asking you to sign a document that says if things don’t work out she can screw you. If she wasn’t expecting to screw you why would she ask you sign such a document? If she was only thinking of love and not money and material things, then turn off the tears “Honey” and sign the prenup. Oh but now you’re being accused of taking all the romance out of it by asking her to sign a prenup that makes things level and fair for both of you. She can’t have that. Well, she could also be accused of taking the romance out of it by making money and material things more important to her than this vague “love” she is talking about. If she truly is in love with you then why is she so concerned about getting at least half your stuff if things don’t work out? Doesn’t she think the marriage will last? She’s taking all the romance out of it by insisting you agree to give her half your stuff plus more if it doesn’t work out. She might say, “If you really love me you would marry me”. You could respond, “Okay, I’ll prove my love to you and marry you, & if you really love me you will sign this prenup agreeing not to screw me. When she starts crying and saying that you don’t love her, remind her that if she “really” loved you she wouldn’t be concerned about money and material things and would sign the prenup. If she really loved you, she would sign the prenup. Enough said. ruclips.net/video/PCpBa4ITEcI/видео.html Extra Bonus: ruclips.net/video/F5IiaPZ-5Vs/видео.html
@@floricel_112 It's easy: for a normal party you just have to invite some friends, start some music and buy chips and some hotdogs or something. They you watch a movie and go home. Cost 50dollar if you are generous. A marriage can cost thousands of dollar. Also you have to plan the place, the music, the religion, the decoration, the meals, the snacks, the alcoholic, the entertainment, the sit order and the legal stuff. That's the homework part.
I got married at the registration office and had a party at my place. Cost less than £1000 for it all, and that includes renting a port-a-loo for the family members that couldnt make it up the stairs to the toilet. My wife and i agreed that spending any more would just be excessive waste.
I've actually been to a wedding where all of the tables had potted flowers of various types. The bride wanted to replant them and keep them. I thought it was a pretty good idea, albeit a lot of work.
Snowflake Repellent I think so, too. It’s bragging rights. I get anxiety just thinking about weddings. The pressure to be perfect, the unnecessary spending, etc 😰
Have you seen the rate at which women are walking out of their marriages for seemingly greener grass? The percentage is at an all time high and still rising so one could make a case that marriage is a scam.
It is for the man, women overwhelmingly initiate most divorces and the man has to lose half his shit. But lets see Rodger do an honest take on that one.
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
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

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. Gold Tungsten band with rosewood inlay.
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..."
my oldest sister had her wedding at our grandmas house! it might not sound super cool but it was outside and my grandma has some very nice property. my sister bought her dress on amazon and our family cooked everything. hell i was her wedding photographer which i did for free as a wedding present. they probably saved thousands of dollars doing it this way
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.
“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.
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.
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 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.
My husband & i got married in court, with a small gathering. Both of our families on both sides were all mad at us for not having a big wedding for the family. By the way, from past family gatherings, it has led to nothing but drama & judgment, from both families we didn't want that. We didn't care for a big wedding but we did want a nice 2 week long honeymoon on a beautiful island in the Caribbeans. We enjoyed our honeymoon & dont regret it at all!! 8 years later to this day our families are still upset about it
@@wandanemer2630 Not really, travel is just as bad as a wedding if not worse since it costs a ton and gives nothing physical and provides risks such as contracting foreign diseases as well as a rare plane jacking and police in other country's are biased towards foreigners. A better use would be to get a index fund.
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
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.
Lol I came across that channel when I checked my wife's phone cuz it fell into the pool and it was cuz we had a boy and she was contemplating whether or not to circumcise him .... We ended up not circumcising him...
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.
😂🤣🤣 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 D-I-R-E-C-L-Y from years of heart shredding loneliness for what everyone I know bitches & complains about, (marriage), then I wish nothing but the daily agony I go through on a daily basis on each & everyone who craps on marriage. No more truthful nor justified words have ever been said...
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. Your wedding says a lot about your individual character, and your individual character says a lot about the long term viability of your partnerships, up to and including marriage.
Good for you, There is still time though, a lifetime is a long time. The national average marriage length is about 20 years in the US. I can't even imagine the heart break following a failed mariage. Honestly wish you the best!
@@joannot6706 while I appreciate your eternal optimism, till death means till death. Some people do still take commitments and vows seriously. It hasn't been a breeze getting to 11 years, but the commitment to one another that has gotten us to 11 will get us the rest of the way. ❤️
Actually, your friends were absolutely correct. 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.
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
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:)
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!
For our wedding, I made my dress. I carried a small family Bride's Bible. My Hubby wore a suit he bought for our high school graduation. His Sister was my Matron of Honor...she wore her Sunday dress! His Brother was our Best Man. He wore his graduation suit. My Daddy is a Baptist Minister...he married us. We had the ceremony in my Parent's living room. My mother made our wedding cake...(it was yummy). Oh yeah...forgot to mention the best part. We've been married for 49 years!
*My wife and I had our neighbor marry us and he did it for free as a wedding gift..we got married in my living room with a total of 8 people including my wife and I. Our rings we purchased from Kay’s Jewelers (the employee was pissed because we said NO to the $1000 “insurance “ scam and got rings that were affordable snd didn’t need resizing. My wife and I are super happy and we still have a little bit of savings left in case we need it.*

Why does it cost so much for a man to get divorced? Because it's WORTH IT.
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

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.

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.

Nope. Don't get married at all. Marriage doesn't offer a man anything he can't get for free by staying unmarried.
I live by these 3 pillars.
1. No marriage.
2. No living together.

I managed a high end venue on the beach in San Diego. We held 3-4 weddings a week and most weddings were 50k plus. All I saw was stress and completely unoriginal weddings. I witnessed nearly 250 weddings and they all ended with me being turning the lights on at 11pm and at every wedding the bride realizing she just wasted 50k on a 8 hour party and she didn’t turn into a princess. Don’t have a big expensive wedding...nobody cares.
Pop culture and social media often romanticizes the human experience...peer pressure can lead people to feel like they have to uphold some standard or tradition when deep down they may not want to.
okthennone Agreed. Fact is if the people you invite to your wedding aren’t people you see or speak to on a regular basis, they probably don’t give a shit and are only there to be polite. Not worth wasting the money. My parents threw a BBQ the next day for the extended family who wasn’t invited to the wedding, which makes way more sense to me.
@Rachel Smith Still, it's an event designed to drain as much money as you can (not) afford. Maybe it won't cost you 50k, but it will certainly be an 8h party on your and/or your family savings (or worse, debt).
Depends on if the parents are paying for it, all the lame crap in a wedding is for the parents...
Right on!
I only spent 2 grand on my wedding and been married for 22 years. My cousin spent 25 grand and got divorced in 8 months. Go figure.
Means nothing. We married just the two of us and his brother was there to take pictures. Paid 300€ (papers only, had a nice white dress from prom), and I walked out after 5 years. He thought "We are married now, she won't go anywhere so I can behave like a lazy asshole" over the years.

You could spend tons of money on a wedding ,,,,,, OR you could spend the money on a down payment for a house, furniture and appliances and a decent car. YOUR choice.
Patrick Chubey YES YES YES!! I don’t want anything fancy and I have family members who keep saying well choose what’s most important to you and put the most money on that. I don’t care about any of that, what’s most important to me is the actual marriage. So, immediate family somewhere free in a reasonably priced dress and call it a day!
Even then, you should have a house and car before you get married.
Patrick Chubey or another idea is to spend it on a longer honeymoon.
But houses and cars are also scam.
That's exactly what my husband and I did. I got married in a leather mini dress (it was the 90's), something I already owned, ditched the rings, and my hubby wore a leather jacket and jeans. We got married at the court house and had a party at home with our closest friends and family. I think the booze costs more then getting married at the court house. We went to a local hot springs for our honeymoon (super cheap) and it all costs less than a eight hundred dollars. We've been married for 24 years. We put our saving towards our 3-bedroom condo not a one day event, and it's almost paid off. Sorry big wedding are over rated.
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.

My wife and I had a big wedding planned (her idea). But then the pandemic hit. We had to scramble to change our plans, and ended up getting married in our backyard and saving around $13,000. The weather was good and everybody enjoyed it. Instead of spending $900 on a DJ like we had originally planned, for instance, my nephew played DJ for 20 bucks, using my phone and an $8 Bluetooth speaker. We bought some flowers, but they were all live ones in pots. We danced, ate pizza, and drank cheap champagne in our own backyard while listening to old love songs. It was glorious. With the money we saved, we instead bought 10 acres of recreational land that we'll have for the rest of our lives. (My idea).

Then I'm sorry for you, that you've got to learn the sad truth the hard way. I woul disagree in the sentence: "Never trust a woman ever!"
I would just say: Never marry ever. And when you do, make a contract in the first place. Or live in a free relationship with no strict borders.

Ok, then what about not to marry in the first place. Seems the perfect solution for me, since marriage is a relict from the past.

I know people who have literally had no food in the house, ate at soup kitchens for weeks, can't pay their bills, are in debt up to their eyeballs, and cry because their bank account is constantly overdrawn; all while simultaneously shelling out thousands to pay for a "fairytale wedding" to trick people into thinking they're rich and classy....yet, if I got married in my backyard, had people wear whatever they wanted, had a potluck type reception, and basically kept things inexpensive, these same people would more than likely think that was trashy and sad....yet I have food in the house, my bills are paid, I OWN my house, car, and am in no debt whatsoever, and my bank account is in the black....still, sadly, most folks only care about an illusion....
@BlueTiger9948 this is why weddings should be strictly a religious ceremony. westerners are gonna have a horrible awakening when they realise how bad abandoning christianity was for society.

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.

I will hire family. They are cheaper.
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 ?
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.

Don't forget the 3 rings of marriage:
1st : Engagement ring
2nd: Wedding ring
3rd: Suffering
...one ring to rule them all...
Lmao
HAHA!

LOL!
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.
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.

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👀.

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 .

Makes you think about how to argue with vegans, right? What fun!
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

My BFF got married, it was beautiful, and they spent $4K for the whole thing. Two other friends got married this year; one spent $60K, the other $11K. The $60K wedding was extravagant, too long and kind of impersonal, BUT it was absolutely beautiful!! The one that spent $11K had THE BEST WEDDING I've ever seen. It was intimate, elegant and beautiful, and the only reason it was so expense was because of the open bar. If they hadn't done that, it would have been around $5K. Some people marry in the backyard with a minister, cheese whiz and a box of crackers. *Whatever you decide to do, It Is YOUR Decision! Just remember: Please don't spend thousands of dollars to impress others. Do what YOU want!*

As a wedding server that has served 50* weddings in a year, I can confirm this is true, we actually had three weddings where the bride and groom fought right after the wedding ended. We always bet on who’s marriage would last💀💀 this video forgot to mention how the guests treat the servers.

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.

This is all historically inaccurate anyway.
spector4pro and *if* someone wants to divorce that's hell
Then dont marry man.. Because if shes not listening to your side now... She wont listen later... And by later im talking 2 kids deep later
I don’t marry because the laws are so lopsided in favor of women. If things don’t work out I am screwed financially & I have to pay the price for her poor choices/decisions in life.
I might consider marriage if she would sign a prenup, but most women don’t want to because it makes things fair and forces them to take responsibility for their actions.
They don’t want to “women up” so to speak
If you ask her to sign a prenup you might hear things like, “If you really loved me you wouldn’t ask me to sign such a document”. Well the same could be said to her also. If she loved you she wouldn’t ask you to sign such a one sided contract called marriage in her favor either.
I am not asking for things to be unfair, I just want a level playing field & things fair for both of us. Women keep saying that they are equal don’t they?
You also might hear, “You’re expecting the marriage to fail or you wouldn’t be asking me to sign this”. She might throw in some tears for effect. Again this could be turned around to say, “If you weren’t expecting to “screw me” you would sign the prenup. So am I to understand that you don’t want to sign this prenup so that in the event things don’t work out you can screw the hell out of me? See what I am saying? All this could be turned around & thrown right back at her.
If she argues these very valid points with you, that should tell you where her head is & you should really think about taking a “time out” and consider what you are about to do. Do you really want to legally connect yourself to a person who wants the cards stacked in her favor, nothing for you, everything for her, and won’t sign a document changing this to make it fair? She won’t’ sign a prenup agreeing not to screw you if “things” don’t work out? Sounds a little selfish & one sided to me. Just saying.
This entitlement behavior/mentality shows that she is selfish & only thinking of herself. She wants all the marbles, wants to be in control, and will hand out only what marbles she allows you to have.
If she won't sign a document making things fair & equal this shows that money is more important to her than love. It also shows that the marriage is not her primary concern, she is more concerned with material things and what she can get, not what she is bringing to the table, if anything at all. She’s a taker not a giver.
Exactly what is she bringing to the table anyway? Sex?... and what else? You don’t have to bet married to have sex. What if after the marriage she decides to change the rules of access and frequency of sex? You are still bound to and expected to fulfill your part of the marriage contract even if she misrepresented herself and changes after you marry her, and now if you divorce her she gets half your stuff! Heaven forbid you were stupid enough to have any children with her. Think Paul McCartney. He was married for six years to Heather Mills and had to pay her approximately $40,000,000! For what? Did she work and earn any of that money? Yet she is entitled to it and complained that she felt she was being cheated and wanted more!
She’s asking you to sign a document that says if things don’t work out she can screw you. If she really loved you she wouldn’t ask you to sign such an unbalanced document and would want what is fair for both of you. Not all the rules and everything in her favor and nothing for you and you get screwed legally and financially.
She gets the car, the house, the kids, half if not more of your savings you earned before you married her (Paul McCartney anyone?), child support, half your retirement, future income, alimony, bad mouths you to the kids, makes you out to be a monster to the court so that you have limited access to your children or supervised visits. What kind of moron would enter into a contract like that outside of marriage? So why should it be any different in marriage?
She’s asking you to sign a document that says if things don’t work out she can screw you. If she wasn’t expecting to screw you why would she ask you sign such a document? If she was only thinking of love and not money and material things, then turn off the tears “Honey” and sign the prenup.
Oh but now you’re being accused of taking all the romance out of it by asking her to sign a prenup that makes things level and fair for both of you. She can’t have that. Well, she could also be accused of taking the romance out of it by making money and material things more important to her than this vague “love” she is talking about. If she truly is in love with you then why is she so concerned about getting at least half your stuff if things don’t work out? Doesn’t she think the marriage will last? She’s taking all the romance out of it by insisting you agree to give her half your stuff plus more if it doesn’t work out.
She might say, “If you really love me you would marry me”.
You could respond, “Okay, I’ll prove my love to you and marry you, & if you really love me you will sign this prenup agreeing not to screw me. When she starts crying and saying that you don’t love her, remind her that if she “really” loved you she wouldn’t be concerned about money and material things and would sign the prenup.
If she really loved you, she would sign the prenup.
Enough said.

@@floricel_112 It's easy: for a normal party you just have to invite some friends, start some music and buy chips and some hotdogs or something.

I got married at the registration office and had a party at my place. Cost less than £1000 for it all, and that includes renting a port-a-loo for the family members that couldnt make it up the stairs to the toilet. My wife and i agreed that spending any more would just be excessive waste.

I've actually been to a wedding where all of the tables had potted flowers of various types. The bride wanted to replant them and keep them. I thought it was a pretty good idea, albeit a lot of work.
The way some women love to show off "the ring" and carry on about their wedding, it makes me think they care more about the wedding than the marriage.
Snowflake Repellent I think so, too. It’s bragging rights. I get anxiety just thinking about weddings. The pressure to be perfect, the unnecessary spending, etc 😰
also its kinda like gloating about how much shes wringing that fucking dumb smuck for.
Bingo!

Not sure marriage is a scam, but weddings certainly are.
Have you seen the rate at which women are walking out of their marriages for seemingly greener grass? The percentage is at an all time high and still rising so one could make a case that marriage is a scam.
It is for the man, women overwhelmingly initiate most divorces and the man has to lose half his shit. But lets see Rodger do an honest take on that one.

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

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..."

Sounds nice.
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.

“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.

@@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.
My husband & i got married in court, with a small gathering. Both of our families on both sides were all mad at us for not having a big wedding for the family.

We didn't care for a big wedding but we did want a nice 2 week long honeymoon on a beautiful island in the Caribbeans.

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.
The trash took itself out, my friend. I wish you all the very best.

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

There’s definitely a correlation, but in my opinion it’s an inverse one
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. Your wedding says a lot about your individual character, and your individual character says a lot about the long term viability of your partnerships, up to and including marriage.
Good for you, There is still time though, a lifetime is a long time. The national average marriage length is about 20 years in the US. I can't even imagine the heart break following a failed mariage. Honestly wish you the best!
@@joannot6706 while I appreciate your eternal optimism, till death means till death. Some people do still take commitments and vows seriously. It hasn't been a breeze getting to 11 years, but the commitment to one another that has gotten us to 11 will get us the rest of the way. ❤️
Actually, your friends were absolutely correct. 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.

11 years is nothing. Good luck.
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

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:)
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!
