    My wedding was $61. The license was $60, and we needed paper towels for folks to use after the cake a friend bought. Got married in a tiny apartment with maybe twenty people present, and streamed it so a couple hundred more could watch. I still sometimes wear the outfit I got married in. Makes my wife’s heart skip a beat when I do.

    My brother got married in Venice to the tune of $48,000. I wasn’t on the guest list cause we’re rather estranged but there were apparently tailored suits and an actual wedding ring involved.

    I don’t wanna think about paying a student loan amount of money for a wedding.

      I can’t tell if I’m flabbergasted by the fact that your brother spent $48’000 on a damn wedding or that student loans are about the same amount of money.

        I’m flabbergasted that it’s worth mentioning there was an “actual wedding ring involved”
