Ok I hear that! But there are people who actually plan it out and have budgets for it. I still like my destination wedding because its a 2-for-1 wedding and honeymoon.
But I know people who will literally take out loans to fund their wedding.
Next question would be whats a reasonable budget? I saw platinum weddings and uhm.. I'm not spending a college tuition on a wedding!

Um, whatever you can realistically afford?
Platinum Couple probably has a $50,000 cake because they (or their parents) can afford to do that and still have money to do things like buy a home.
The average person cannot.
A wedding can be a beautiful and well-planned event without it costing a ton of money.
My rule of thumb, if it is going to cause you to enter your marriage with extra debt or stress from having overspent on it, you can't afford it and you're probably spending beyond your means.

Except for the people who have to get to that destination for whom it's not a honeymoon. If you don't want a lot of people, don't invite a lot of people.
Why on earth would anyone wait until they have the money for the "perfect" wedding? That puts the priorities completely backwards. Stay within your means for the wedding and focus on planning and building a great marriage.

I believe this. |
I wouldn't be surprised either.
