Instead of hosting around 150 guests and spending about $75,000, the couple decided to get married in their backyard with just 54 of their closest family and friends.
$75,000 for a wedding?! A great reason to stay single in my opinion.

I would have a cheap registry wedding in the UK. Then I would go extreme on the honeymoon. If my future husband wanted a expensive glamours wedding it would be bye bye!

Sometimes a playa can do nothing wrong and just have a bad partner. It’s only when situations test a person’s coping skills that we see the demon inside. Everyone suffers as a result. The product of bad conditioning on the mind.

Thanks @bobbilly
I wouldn’t be able to handle someone who wanted a grand wedding like you said. Bye bye
I would have a quiet wedding. Small and personal. But I’m yet to meet a nice man…

But you would compromise for the right person right?
Think it could be worth it. If your future husband wanted a party.

I didn’t come out as gay until 2010. I was bullied in school because I’m camp. I think now and I’m pleased about it’s very much accepted. I don’t feel targeted.

I married my husband at the courthouse. We had 2 family members present.
Then all 4 of us plus some other family members went to a Japanese restaurant and we all paid for ourselves.
I thought it was a great wedding day

Ours cost $2,400 back in July of 2000. A bit spent on the hall, some for the church and the pastor, and much of the rest on the caterer. The MIL made the massive wedding cake and a wife’s friend made her dress.

One of my old coworkers spent $70,000 on their wedding in October 2022. The bride’s parents paid for it.
Then, they bought a house the following year for $300,000 which was their max budget from the bank. That is a big no-no.
They did FHA or 3 1/2% down and have PMI or private mortgage interest, which is in an additional payment, attached to the mortgage.
They could’ve had a cheap backyard wedding and asked the parents to give them that $70,000, so there was 20% down with closing costs on the house they bought. If you have 20% down on a mortgage, then you don’t have to pay PMI. I really don’t get it.

That’s all my husband and I spent in September 2003. We paid for the officiant, a video that was a part of the officiant package If you wanted it, a photographer, my bouquet and then our guests had dinner on us in a restaurant.
Oh, this also included paying for our cabin. We got married in the Smoky Mountain national Park and honeymooned in a cabin around there.
