Maybe folks is cashing their entire savings, IDK. I can't imagine spending more than 1/4 of my savings on a wedding. But that's just me.

You do what you are comfortable with and what you can afford. Everyone has a different scenario, different wants and needs. If i only had x$ to my name i wouldnt spend it all on a wedding, but some people may and some wont, and thats their call to make tbh.

It's not one transaction. Its multiple transaction over time that equal a large sum.

Yea, it isn't for me but who am I to tell someone they shouldn't.
But like you said, SHEESH. That is a lot to drop on ONE momentary experience. (To me)
@ If true.I guess I never really thought about it honestly. Yea, to go in the hole for that, wild move. But again, whatever works for you.

People take loans out to buy a ****ing sneaker (and pretty much anything you can imagine), you dont think some folks would do the same for a wedding??

There’s a lot of dudes out there with women that have no resale value though.

Me and the wife dropped 10k on a garden wedding. Which included reception and a horse and carriage entrance. It was dope to see her face. I didnt even wanna spend that much, but im glad it turned out perfect.

i definitely still think it's dumb to spend a ton of money if you don't have it.
if you're wealthy though, why the heck not splurge? if i made over 250k annually, our wedding would have probably been a little different but that would mostly be including a few more people (we got married on maui and i would have flown in more people and put them up in the beautiful hotel we were at) and my wife's engagement ring would be a little bit bigger - that's about it. i'd keep the same location and reception because it was great.

We dropped $30k on our wedding and honeymoon. We were fortunate to not be in debt afterwards.
