Yep, never got to meet them. But had they not died, she would have never moved down here and I wouldn't have met her.
Thinking back, we spent about 6k on my daughters wedding and reception. Nice service and pretty good time at reception.
She wanted reception outside, so we got a pavilion at Ft. Christmas. Had an old fashion BBQ. 2 friends volunteered to cook, 2 more decorated while wedding was going on. Wife, Daughter and friend made the cake, Beautiful humming bird cake, 5 layers high with live lavender Roses decorating it.

No, were as in the wedding happened in the past and they had died by the time we met. Had I said they are dead, it would not have reflected that they were no longer living at the time of the wedding.
Maybe spend more time teaching that kid not to believe everything he hears and quit crapping in his drawers at school like some filthy animal or Mr. Hook is going to come get him.
I spent about $30k on the wedding and ~$10k on the honeymoon. Wife's parents kicked in an additional $10k for the wedding. They wanted to give more but my wife and I didn't want to take any more than that.
It's not a small amount of money but I would do it all again in a heartbeat. Don't regret it one bit.

It's what Catholics do. No other religion can match it for "premature" births.

I wasn't going to, but about 3-4 months into the pregnancy she decided she wanted to. Whatever made her happy was all I cared about. I was willing to wait to give her the big wedding or do it sooner if she wanted. We've been married for 13 years now so it wasn't like I got escorted down the aisle by a shotgun anyway.
You can pork a pig without marinating her in 31k worth of cheap booze.

I can't believe Sir G hasn't chimed in yet calling you all cheap fuks while claiming that the average wedding cost for a middle class family is actually over 100k.

I don't understand how anyone can spend $30-60K for a night of fun and not regret it. I guess I'll never know true love.
Not sure how you didn't pick up on the fact that most people AREN'T spending $30-60K on weddings even if they cost that much. People getting married with weddings that much are typically getting multiple avenues of help in paying for the wedding. That cost is pretty light if you factor it split at least 2 ways with parents and then you having to throw in a few extra thousand for perks.
For my wedding we're receiving money from 5 different family groups + we are spending a little ourselves for special things we really want. In my situation, pretty much no one is contributing more than $8-10K.
And lulz at you phrasing this as if we're talking about an average night of beers with the boys. It's a wedding- if you're doing it right, it should only happen once in your life.
