The greatest gift you can ever give your wife is yourself as a lifetime companion to grow with her, not a party.What's the point of girls having a Sweet 16? Bottom line is, a wedding is just another day a girl can say is hers and that's the biggest gift you can get ever give them.
It's your wife, and if you're both going to commit to each other for a liftime, why not both?
Tell that to everyone who's amassed student loans debt. At least they spent $50K on 4+ years and not a single day.I truly understand guys saying "I'd rather spend the money on something else for the future, house, etc.." but honestly, in the grand scheme of things, the $50K~ you spend for a wedding isn't much when you look back on it in a few years, depending on where you are in life. You can't pay for the memories of that day.
Plenty of my friends and family have paid off their student debts, as well and my wife and I. I don't need to ask any strangers about their life journey. If you and you significant other decide to get married right after college, that's on you guys. Big mistake if you ask me and I don't know of anybody personally that foolish or impatient who wanted to splurge on a wedding still owing that much money.
