5k live music
5k honeymoon

Honestly pretty expensive, is it because youre making a special party with a lot of people? I would just rent some big house by a lake for a fee days (like 6k and party there for two days. Food 3k alcohol 1.5k. Host meme dj or some shit 2k, decorations and extras 2k)

2k suit and gown, you really spared no expense xD
5k rings, i guess youre in the position to spend it up, i wouldve said some shit like ill get you a gold one once im rich for now heres this silver for 300
5k live music also overkill, you can get some student musicians for 1k easy and then a small band for another 1k music equipment to rent 500.

Not sure about that. I was stressed and exhausted by the time the day actually arrived. Can't help but feel taking that money and travelling around the world for a year with my wife would have been much better.

Then despite all the work I got grief for a year from my family for not sending out thank you cards quickly despite working 6 days a week for the following months to make up funds from the event and honeymoon.

Then a billion smaller costs you don't predict. That venue costs hire as well is likely cheap as it was the average where i live in the middle of nowhere north UK. I went for an ugly derelict council venue i had to redecorate and the hire still cost me £6k.

Most modern day weddings are just overblown fake pretend play festivals for normalfags.
In fact they aren't being just standard normalfags there, they somehow become turboNPCs, almost as if they are Sims characters executing their preprogrammed tasks. Literally not a single genuine moment to be experienced since absolutely EVERYTHING is pre-planned and rehearsed, every photo every step you take every dance every speech everything preplanned and prerehearsed. It's closer to a stuck up play than a genuine celebration of anything. And it's the same exact dumb pretend play at 99% of weddings while everyone pretends this is a special one of a kind moment, it's absolutely absurd. Similar how people don't travel for the experience anymore but for social media posts first and foremost.

Weddings should be like a big party celebrating love between two people, not a strict dress rehearsal with zero humanity.
It's like going to a party, but you know beforehand where you must stand, then exactly where you must sit when told to do so, which dance you must do at which song, at which point in the night can you speak and what to say etc.
In fact the only bit of humanity you can see in modern day weddings is when someone gets incredibly drunk and just stops following all these made up rules and orders and just does whatever the fuck he wants.

You can just travel to a third world country and fuck a bunch of women then. Most of them would love to give birth to a mixed baby

Knew some freshman broad who wanted to get married at 25 and have kids. It´s so sweet to be young and full of hope.

Well my aunt was a cakemaker, my cousin a DJ, an uncle a musician, family friend a preacher and another relative for the venue. With a potluck the only real cost was renting tables and chairs and tux rental.

photos do not cost 2k
a suit does not cost 2k
a cake will never cost 1k, there's nothing you can put inside a cake to make it cost 1k
10k venue is a fucking coronation party size value, you're off mark completely
no ring will ever cost 5k, you are retarded
marriage has no documents, it's a religious practice, laws can't have any say on it
a band does not cost 5k
5k for a hotel you better be staying for a week
no way you paid 2k for strippers, you are fucking retarded

You're missing the point. The elites figured out that if they gradually pillage a country and make it so shitty that it isn't worth saving, then nobody will fight for it. That's really evil desu.

If they really loved each other, then neither one of them would give a fuck if it was an expensive wedding.

Good for you. If you've made it 10 years then congrats. If you can make it 20 years without the relationship becoming a living hell or getting divorce cucked I guess you can declare victory. Always go out of your way for your kids first; they are your blood and you were there for them, they will always be there for you even if the woman isn't. Hope you make it, seriously.
