To Wait or Not To Wait: That is the Question

First of all, this comment made me think of a Friends episode...

Chandler: "Well, come on, I’ve been saving this money for six years and I kinda had some of it earmarked for the future, not just for a party."
Monica: "This is the most special day of our lives."
Chandler: "No, I realize that honey, but I’m not gonna spend all of the money on one party."
Monica: "Honey, umm I-I love you, but umm, if you call our wedding a party one more time, you may not get invited."



And one of the Postsecrets today reads:

"I wish people would spend as much time on their marriages as they spend on their wedding"

HA! I remember that episode too. That quote is spot on too. Spending a ridiculous amount of money on one day is absurd to me. I'm all for a nice wedding and reception but I find that so many women have this big fairy tale thing in their head that has no cost and then once they start seeing how much things cost...THEY STILL TRY TO MAKE THE FAIRY TALE HAPPEN!
