I had a hypothetical "how would our wedding be" convo with my GF and learned how different we are

You have to compromise when you have a wedding, it can’t be all about your man stuff.

However, if you really want to have these things you have to put a wedding spin on it. For example, the fried chicken, instead of having all the big pieces of the bird, you can do wingettes fried on a nice display. Like below…

For the cheddar bay biscuits (love these , the only reason I still fukks with Red Lobster) you could do the same thing, make the biscuits smaller so they look dainty and cute. Put them on a nice display as well. Like so…

Spoiler

As for the beer, no cans, bottles only. Also, have nice glasses for your beer...

However, I cannot co-sign the beer fountain, you have to that let go .

You can be fancy without spending a lot of money.

A wedding should look like this:

It shouldn't look like what @Kind Gentleman is describing:

Usually the weddings I hear about are crazy expensive. I wouldn't know how to get one of those fancy styles for cheap. Even at that I feel the choice for the style of the wedding should go to whoever spends the most money for it, if it happens to have "trashy" elements well....

LOL I bet major dollars were spent in Picture #1

If you know how to do your own hair then you could rent a pretty dress like that for a day instead of buying it. I'm all for being economical. Then the scenery doesn't have to be that expensive if you know a location with lots of trees and beautiful flowers. You could rent a space for a decent amount, if you're knowledgeable on the area. I think some people spend for the sake of spending, so they can later say my wedding cost x amount. But if you budget accordingly and wisely then you could have a great wedding for a decent price. I wouldn't want to spend anything more than 4k on my wedding.

4 or 5 grand seems reasonable.
Generally, I'm anti-wedding. I think they're a waste of money and time.
I don't have a problem with marriage, just weddings.

I just think it's insane for people to spend ...what's the average these days? 40k? 50k?

People spend that much? Crazy. I think if you have a religious ceremony and then go to a place surrounded by flowers, that's more than enough. Personally I'd rather begin married life with zero debt. I've heard of people spending a crazy amount and then going home to nothing in the fridge.

 

[Ohnoits]

Once you start counting it all up...we are doing very simple for our wedding and big for the reception. The ring I got for my girl ran me about 7k (this included the wedding band). But no complaints, we both do very well for ourselves (I said before on here that we are both in engineering) so I didn't consider it to be a big deal.

She just wants to be all fancy and spend money.

I'm saying doe See my philosophy is go cheap on a wedding so you can splurge on the honeymoon 2 weeks on an island with me, her no condoms or birth control and dirty intent.






@Raye82 How ima smack my lips and lick my fangaz to some winglettes?

I need hood portions. I do agree with glasses though. Just to try and keep the littering down.






@TheFemalePerspective I notice you didn't hate on fried chicken and cheddar bay biscuits though

It seems like the honeymoon is definitely much more memorable and worth spending money on compared to the wedding. My mom complains all the time for not having a honeymoon. I'd take a trip to Hawaii and get one of those top notch hotel packages but the cost will make you hate yourself years down the road.

If my fiance was a picky eater and he cried about how important it was for him to eat fried chicken and cheddar bay biscuits on his wedding day, then i'd leave a plate for him at the back.

He can go back there and dance with himself.

How much would you put in on the wedding for you to do him like that?

 

[villain]

As long as y'all splitting the costs you would have to compromise, friend

You would be...splitting the costs right?

So I take you you need horderves and chicken catalina and caviar on your wedding day....how about a horse drawn carriage and 30 turtle doves

Nah i'm traditional. Woman's family pays for everything but I still make the rules because i'm the man.

Naturally I'm someone who likes to give a lot in relationships, but after realizing there are so many people out there who enjoy taking advantage of others, I prefer to only give once I've identified that the man is a 'giver' too. For that reason, I'd like him to take care of all the wedding costs (showing me that he's a giver) and then I can shower him with all the love and gifts that he deserves. But if he needs me to chip in because he's genuinely overwhelmed by the cost of everything, then I'd gladly step in and say.. 'hey don't worry about it. I'll pay for that.'
