i'm so glad my gf agrees with me and wants a small wedding. i know too many stupid couples that have taken out 10-20k in loans to pay for their wedding.

Yep. But you can't take it with you so you may as well spend it

Its disgusting though how people rip out the cash register and double their fees when they hear the word wedding

i think it depends on a lot of factors. nevertheless, my wife and i recently got married (we are 25 and 23). both our parents were grateful enough to throw in $10k each on the wedding, then her and i spent about $10k on additonal wedding stuff and the honeymoon...so 33:33:33 for us.
30K for one day. You guys must be loaded.

Why do you want to get married so young? I don't normally hear "time tables" coming from a guy.
