You guys are aware that the woman's family is supose to pay for the wedding right? The man buys the ring and the woman has her family pay for the service.
then no wedding for youQuote:

That is about what we want to spend on our wedding. It is going to have about 200 guests but we are going to get married at the base chapel. I heard that professional photos are like crazy expensive so we might get regular photos taken. I also wanted to have an open bar at the reception but god knows how much that will cost. We have the money for it though, we will be able to pay it right off thanks to reenlistment bonuses. Where are you guys registering, I might send something your way! :DQuote:

My wedding in 98:
440 = 2 Roundtrip tickets to Vegas
200 = 3 nights at the luxor
250= Tux Rental + Wedding Dress
25 = Nevada Marriage Liscense
300 = Little White Chapel Wedding with video and photos and extras
Free = Reception at church for family/friends when we got back home (people even made us cakes, food)
Total: 1215
-600 = Winnings at an hrs worth of blackjack
-100 = Womans winnings at slots
New Total = 515
Lots of fun, little preparation, few worries, no stress, cheap. You can always go back and renew your vows once you get your life in order financially.
And that's for a average/cheap one. A friend of a friend recently blew $60,000 on his wedding. And not because he could afford it, but because that's what his bloodsucking twat of a wife wanted, coupled with the fact that he's stupid.Quote:

You're supposed to be starting your life together and how do you do it? By blowing thousands and thousands of dollars on useless shit like diamond rings and cheesy, annoying parties. That's money that could be put to far, far greater use.
