About 4 to 5 x We had considered eloping but it was went off perfectly and was exactly what we were hoping for.

Well you got a 50% chance that 60k one day party pays off

u/okcboomer87 1d ago

Oh, I forgot just how much prices have increased over the last month. I was referring to msrp.

So 15,000 on the wedding? That’s surprising reasonable. Good job! Know people that spend 10-20x that and are miserable together

u/okcboomer87 1d ago

I'll spill it. Ours was 20k. We had a nice venue, catering for 120 and an open bar. I have heard much worse but for me it is an expensive day.

Seems pretty cheap considering the amount of guests..

u/okcboomer87 1d ago

Thanks, my bride did a lot of the planning herself and just paid for day of support.

Honestly not too bad a price for the biggest party you’ll throw in your life.

I’d rather have the $20k, personally — but I get it.

u/okcboomer87 1d ago

Who are you marrying....?

u/PreciousTC 23h ago

My second wife, obviously.

Either that or I'm just already calling her my wife because the accent on fiancé is annoying as fuck to type on a Chinese keyboard.

You can pick whichever you like more

u/projektako 1d ago

seriously... The very fact that an single consumer enthusiast product can rival the cost of a fancy wedding. What timeline are we even living in?

u/StrangelySerious- 1d ago

I can fucking assure you that a wedding of $12 000 is anything but fancy, that's a 10 people wedding at your local restaurant with no dresscode lol

u/KeesKachel88 1d ago

My 14k wedding had 50 people and it was perfect.

u/StrangelySerious- 1d ago

You didn't have a fucking "fancy" wedding for 14k for 50 people.

1

u/StrangelySerious- 1d ago

How the fuck was your wedding only 12k lol?

1

u/monkeyhole989 1d ago

My wedding was only around 8k and I rented a small private island on airbnb. Gotta be smart, find the right everything for your situation and don't hire people you don't need. Real friends are helpful too.

u/Flannel_Panels 1d ago

Pre-covid didnt invite people we didnt care about

Have an older sister who did those things and learned not to do those things. like a wedding planner when she still ended up planning everything.

u/philmarcracken 1d ago

A lot of people are smart and dont book 'wedding venue' and just 'venue'

Sometimes they even book a 'photographer' and not a 'wedding photographer'

crazy huh
