I have noticed the trend (maybe it's always been a trend and I'm out of touch!) with the spectacularly expensive weddings. What's this about? It seems out of control and ridiculous to me! Two of my coworkers' daughters just got married with 6 or more bridesmaids/ groomsmen, huge receptions, expensive honeymoons. These people are teachers, not millionaires, and also did major remodeling of their homes in the preparations.
Am I an old fuddy duddy? I don't see the need for this! A couple could use the $10,000 or more for such a bash to establish themselves as newlyweds. My sister did the same with her daughter, including string quartet and gala reception, as well as huge wedding in Gatlinburg.
I like the pics Skittles just shared of her sis's wedding...more in tune with realism and sweet!
