Are large weddings worth the money?

For all of you that are saying that weddings are a one day thing and then are done...

You do realize that people actually derive enjoyment and happiness from the MEMORY of an event, right? A perfect wedding will be remembered for as long as you are together.


Also, saying people are dumb for spending a lot of money on a large wedding then spending $30,000 on your own wedding is completely hypocritical. Also, forcing close friends and relatives to fly and stay wherever YOU want to go, which is not cheap for them and could be a huge inconvenience is very selfish.

This is what I have problem with. Do you think guys are going to remember the event more or less becuase you spent a bunch of money? Guys arent really that excited about all the crap you have to go through for a wedding, right? Wouldnt most dudes remember the wedding date just because its your wedding, and if not, I know they;d cherish it if it was low key and fun, rather than uncomfortable and lame. Do you want to marry a chick who needs all that to enjoy the day that you guys start spending your life together?
