no I spent 60 dollars getting chinese tailor to handmake a traditional chinese dress and I was making a very very decent salary. Waste of money.

Spending your life savings on a wedding is retarded. Spending your parent's money on your wedding is pathetic. Spending your soon to be husband's money on a wedding is selfish and irresponsible.

We did a destination wedding. The total cost of the wedding, rings, dress, flights, all meals and drinks, and 7 night stay in Mexico was under $4500 and it was paid for before we left.
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

$9 grand? Fuck that! Especially for something that is only going to be worn once.
$250, tops. Including fitting and tailoring.

No fucking way!!! If the girl has that high of taste you better hope your rich. If not ran away as fast as you can, because she will suck you dry, and you will wake up one day and have 100k in credit card debt and your wife is fucking the pool boy
Come on guys,you know what kind of chic this girl is.The girl that loves telling everyone that her dress was 9 grand eventhough no one asked.One of those girls that just talks about her wedding,her wedding party,her wedding dj,her wedding photographr,her wedding center pieces,her honeymoon,how she has so many things to get done before HER wedding.Make me puke.

My wife's dress was made by someone in the Mexican community and I think it cost under 1000.00. I want to say 300.00 but I may be confusing that with the cake...
Alot of Catholics use a godparents system to pay for weddings so when you send out invitations the godparents are listed as a form of respect and there are godparents for everything:
shoes
bouquet
decorations
cake
the mass
etc.
etc.
etc.
more expensive things may have more than one set of godparents.
We paid for the rings, dress, and my suit (cheapo) on our own and everything else was the community.
Everything is reasonable as noone is wealthy in these areas but it ends up being a great community event. My father in law slaughtered two of his calves to make birria for the meal. Alcohol is sold at the reception which in turn pays for itself and the live music which is the biggest expense in a traditional Mexican wedding.
All the gifts tend to be handmade simple home goods like tortilla warming cloths, tortilla presses and things like that.
Well hello Mister Fancypants. Well, I've got news for you pal, you ain't leadin' but two things, right now: Jack and shit... and Jack left town.
My entire wedding over 14 years ago was 12k not including the ring that was another 7k


My fiancées dress was 12k. The place just went out of business and she hasn't received her dress yet.![]()

Why would any buy a dress for more then a few grand. 12k for a dress seriously. something you wear once

Yawn... not sure why you are resorting to ad hominum attacks. we are happily married. I think you got your feelings hurt because you may have wasted a lot of on an engagement ring like most westerners do. I think you're just jealous that he doesn't have to work and can focus full time on the family, staying in shape and racing mountain bikes. He is a member of this forum and hangs out in the training section. See if you can guess who he is......Hint, he shaves his head, so no grey hairs, ( also in my profile pics) and you should know by now a woman who does the proposing is not the type to nag, we don't bother asking someone to do something for us, we just do it.....

couldn't agree more...prices for flower, photos, videography, etc are go up in price as soon as they hear "wedding"
my wife's dress costed $800....but thousands of dollars for a dress isn't that uncommon. 9k seems a bit on the higher side...its sign of spending habits to come soxmuscle![]()

Don't Marry someone with expensive taste....


Normal is relative. If you're Michael Jordan then $9K on a wedding dress is like you or me paying, what, $7.99?
I'd call it more a retailer rule.
More than likely someone will be ******* the pool boy anyway. Even happy marriages can see infidelity take place.
