i want to have a tacky wedding that my children and grandchildren can laugh at for centuries to come.

...like dogs dressed up as flowergirls/ringbearers and wedding-themed songs, and a HILARIOUSLY bouffant wedding gown.

maybe i'll have two weddings. cos really, i have to beat my parents in the tack stakes and that's not going to be easy...

Weddings are stupid.

You have two choices here, tell me which is the logical one.

Two people are starting their lives out and wish to make a legal statement about their relationship. They can either

A: have a rediculously exuberant party, spend $30 000 on a celebration with friends, family basically everyone invited and fed expensive meals. Most of their savings are spent on this and they may have taken out a loan to cover costs.

B: the couple elope down to the local courthouse[or whatever] and get themselves legally recognised as married for $100. With the other 30k they put down a deposit on a house and sign their future kids up for a prestigious school.

The same arguements can be made for engagement rings. I am not buying a diamond. I see no reason to support such a disgusting industry that also controls the price, making what is essentially a rock into something valuable. I have heard the arguements for diamonds and i wont buy one. If i meet the perfect girl who is great in every way except she wants a diamond ring, i will buy a zirconia or something.

i'd rather spend the $30000 on myself than sending my kids to some filthy private school with obscenely high fees and paying double that. public schools are just as good

call me selfish

yeah i think so too, but i went to a selective public school which is basically the best school in my area. The only other schools even close to it are all private schools. The public schools where i live are pretty shit tbh.

In that case replace private school fees with a new car or stock or something.

I seriously doubt the private school will be filthy.

If you're desperate for photos, then no one's stopping you at taking professional dream photos like StarShots. I got my first ones taken at 16, and planning to do that every few years. It depends on where you go, some may seem lifeless, but some just make you look gorgeous.

I haven't gone so far as to planning my whole wedding, but just snippets here and there. Just a bit worried about the number of girlfriends I have - not many...and the location - here or my home country.

Yeah, but you know a good match when you see one. My b.f. knows I want a ring but we have to be patient and wait for the right time, in like, 6 years. I laugh and joke about wanting a huge diamond and he knows, hasn't been put off by it and actually look forward to it.
