No no, around here $50k is the average price spent on a wedding . My boss married his daughter and let everyone know exactly how much he spent. Of course there are more wealthy people in a very concentrated area around here, it's one of the wealthiest counties in the country.Fat Burger said:I think she meant 30-50 people, not 30-50k.
Fat Burger said:I had lunch with my dad today, he offered me $2000 for us to elope
I honestly don't know if he was serious or not.
BigDov said:I admire your dad. Alot.
I've got to start planning and saving now, so I can offer that to each and every one of my daughters. 3 weddings is going to put me in the poor house

And then there's Esther, who said she spent $30k on her daughter's wedding
There are some venues here that the reservation fee and catering alone are $15-50k for 150 people... that doesn't count flowers, DJ, photographer, dress, ceremony, all that....
I honestly have no idea where we're going to do this, so far the cheapest place I've found is the same place I had my first reception and that STARTS at $55 per person, plus an 18% gratuity, plus 8% tax, plus beverages which run an extra $10-$50 per person...

Edit: Yes all girls.

Thats exactly how I look at it too.Thorn Bird said:it really is ridiculous to spend thousands on a day that is over in a few hours. it's just a big party. but i wouldn't have traded mine for the world. the value of a dollar lay in my happiness, not the extravagance of all the costs.

We could have eloped if we wanted to... we talked about it. But we both wanted a traditional wedding.
NO kidding. And the thing is, those types of weddigns are not very common (around here at least) I dont think the average person spends that much on a wedding... and if they do, they have more money then brainsBigDov said:But jeeeezus $50k is just insane.
Exactly!kiwi said:I agree with you guys, If my parents had offered me 50K for a wedding, I would have taken 10K, did the wedding, and saved the additional 40K for a house.

This is the part of the country that pays half a million dollars for a 50 year old bungalow....*Fuxx Burger* said:NO kidding.
