average wedding cost...

Oh yes, definitely.

We learned a valuable lesson from a couple down the street; they shelled out $40K a piece and battled it out, then ultimately decided to reconcile.

Now that's nuts.

$20.00 at the courthouse.

Now that's nuts.

Ain't it, though? While they were battling it out, we paid for our kids college tuition plans.

That's because you were both smart and your kids come first!! :clap_1::clap_1:

I feel like people are getting married later...like in their late 20's/early 30's. And in turn, you are making more money. So why not blow the top off your wedding.

And in the great words of Gfunn..."Wedding? You've already spent that money."

I'm working on the honeymoon now.:clap_1:

You are a good and wise mama.

That sounds very nice. Enjoy the big day.

It should be a very fun day. We really don't need the big blown out affair to have a grayt time. Sometimes the big blown out affairs just don't turn out the way they are supposed to.

I agree with you Audie, there's no difference in the committment whether you spend $30,000 or $300. I got married in a $75.00 dress from a thrift store and my husband wore a borrowed suit. We invited a few friends and family to the donated church facility and cooked out in the back yard for the "reception". We had a blast, and it wasn't a shotgun wedding either...I wasn't even pregnant! It's really the promise to God that matters.
