Are Wedding Expenses Getting Out Of Control?

What a great story! Think of you holding on to that ring all those years, studying each prospect, "Hmmm....is she found-ring-worthy? Is she? Hmmm."

I never actually got to touch it. My mother pulled it off her hand and gave it to my princess.

Im flying out right now to see my mother, who is 90. But that's another thread

Re: Indian weddings. I just saw some facebook photos from a high school/college friend's wedding somewhere in the US. I'd have to imagine it probably cost in the low six figures. The groom came riding in on a white horse, ceremonial sword in air. Many other horses were involved, including the horse drawn carriage. Limos for the bride's family and groom's family. Probably 500-1000 guests. The bride had on maybe $50k worth of gold if I had to estimate. Not sure if she had precious gems too. At least six different costume changes.

But they (and their families) can most likely afford it. Dot com/computer people, pharma people, MD's, lawyers etc in the families.

Married twice. Maybe ten people at the first, four at the second.
