Fair enough! I think sinking the money into a nicer home, especially when you are first starting out is far more wiser. 8k for a day? Really? I know it’s romantic and all that…but I think having a nice house is much more romantic anytime!

Interesting article and loved all the feedback. But comparing these two weddings just doesn’t work. Most of theses types of couples (oober wealthy) don’t necessarily pay for even half of the amount of what is published. Most get there wedding paid for in trade of advertising ! Example – the K wedding. $20,000 wedding cake was “donated” I like to say traded for free advertising. What business wouldn’t donate there work to get this much advertising?

For what it is worth…Partners want their marriage ceremony to show their style as well as leaving their party guests with a great experience. The very last thing a happy couple want to stress about is paying out a bundle of funds on wedding favors. Thank you.

Yeah interesting one, I have seems some really crazy weddings over the years, it is amazing how some people spend so much money on them.

When my husband and I were married 16 years ago we had a wedding in the park and a party afterwards in a rented hall. Total cost (including rings, outfits, dj & food) $550. We received more in cash gifts then we paid out. My husband to this day is quite proud that we “made a profit” on our wedding .
