Local couple choose between getting married and burning $30,000 in giant bonfire - The Beaverton

Every now and then, they nail it, don't they?

 

[Budda]

Glad my wedding wasn't $30k haha.

I recall reading a news story back in the 80's about a future bride being
offered an expensive wedding or $100K towards a house by her parents.
She chose the wedding.

Thanks for the reminder...
I'm getting married next september but don't worry me fiancée is a budget freak!

 

[Mooh]

I used to know a guy, completely lost track of him, who was divorced before he finished paying off his wedding and honeymoon. Last time I saw him, 10 years later, he said he was finally out of debt.

The bride and I have never for a moment regretted getting married on the cheap.

I know that a lot of people want to do the big show wedding, but notice how their second wedding is a lot less extravagant?

Big budget freak?

 

[Ti-Ron]

Big budget freak?

Guess why I have less debt and almost no new gear since the last 2 years!
But, seriously, we just want to throw a party and having fun.
There's no decorations and we will bring our own alcool!

Thanks for the chuckle.

If I ever get married, I'd like to keep it as low key as possible.

It was $60k?

 

[Ti-Ron]

It was $60k?

I'm pretty sure @Budda paid with a couple of his secret PRS stach he had in the basement!

 

[Budda]

It was $60k?

Under 12 I believe, with over 100 people and open bar. It was a good time.

My most expensive wedding was the last one.....$350 which included the JP. The first two had open bars because people brought their own booze. The divorces on the other hand weren't as cheap.

A title that describes my life right now: Guy Chooses Between Attending 6 Weddings This Season Or Buying A Nice Guitar

 

[bolero]

BUY THE GUITAR!




Weddings are a scam IMO

one of my good friends had a private wedding on some island off the coast of BC. It was cheap, memorable, very cool, and they didn't blow tons of $$

A buddy of mine was 'threatening' to have a wedding at an expensive resort nearby. It was still going to cost me >$1k to attend for 2 nights. Plus all the extras (gift, etc). I don't think many of our communal friends could afford it or were replying in the affirmative. They eloped recently (whew) and we're going to go out for a nice dinner or something instead.

 

[dmc69]

I would, if they weren't my close friends or friends I've know for a decade or so. I'm going to be so broke

Go for the bridesmaids instead.
