A 70 THOUSAND dollar wedding?

[gault]

I'm watching Four Weddings on TLC and omg.  She is greek and has 300 guests, which I guess makes it better somehow?

SEVENTY fucking grand.

Yowzah!

[partiallysunny]

Well, if they can afford it. I guess.

But in my neck of the woods, that'd buy me a modest house.

[starrieskies]

Yikes! I can think of sooooo many other things that I could spend 70 grand on!

Also, now I want to watch My Big Fat Greek Wedding...

[Muddled]

Good booze, I hope.

My brother had 400+ people at his wedding. We are not Greek, or rich, or anything special, my brother is just a pretentious ass. The wedding was ridiculous.

They were divorced about two years later.

Apparently, I decided to unlurk just to complain about my brother :-)

This is really shocking? I mean- yes, it's outrageously expensive, but that doesn't shock me.

[Muddled]

The funny part is really that most of the people on the show claim they can't afford a great honeymoon (the prize). These people definitely couldn't get away with that. lol.

I've developed a hatred for this show. I know weddings are expensive in certain areas of the country, but damn. One chick out of the Chicago area had a $120K budget. I laughed when she didn't win.

Are you watching the Newlyweds show (I think it's on Bravo)? One couple is Greek and tallied up their wedding cash haul - just over $40K. Holy shit.

Did you all see that there is now Bridezillas Marriage Boot Camp?

I can think of so many things I would rather spend $70,000 on. Maybe I just don't love Boyfriend enough. If I loved him I would need to spend $70,000 on a wedding.

Or not...

Holy shit, I'd rather use the $70k for a down payment on a house. Me and FI's wedding budget is around $15,000 and I still feel a little guilty paying that much.
