Friends spent 11k. That seems to be about normal these days.

You could probably get it down to 7k. Won't tell you what to do, but IMO ya'll should split finances on this. Does she work? It's too bad you waited so long, with an engagement of 3 years both of you should've been able to save up and make it trivial. We'll save for about 14 months for our wedding.

That sounds about right to me. I think we spent around 12. If you want a nice place, food, dj, flowers, wedding dress, and all that other stuff then yeah get ready to break bread. I was gonna try to convince my wife to do the justice of the peace but my dad talked me outta that. Just don't have 15 bridesmaids and groomsman. Also, my honeymoon cost an additional 2k, and the rings I don't even wanna talk about how much that cost me:snoop:


Hold up.....you the groom? Her people "supposed" to pay for this. Tell them to step up!
i was a groom recently, i had to pay for my own suit.

T.O.
basically. sure, figuring out ways to cut costs is good but dude needs to first get his future wife's mind right and get her to subscribe to his program. This is a GREAT opportunity to establish leadership. Type of problems that are actually a blessing in disguise if you handle them right.

Agree but it sounds like OP is on board with the foolishness so this might be over his head...but you right best to establish this sh1t before you official...

Seems like unnecessary financial stress. Everyone I know who married...and are still married, didn't spend but tens and hundreds on their weddings. Now the one who had the biggest most expensive wedding got divorced a few months later, after having been together for a long time (dating & engaged).

Reception is cheap, food is cheap, wedding dress rental is cheap, church is cheap or free. Don't see how you spend more than 5k and that includes $995.00 for the ring.

Destination wedding.

Small wedding with just your families.

There is no damn reason in the world to spend $11,000.00 on a 5-hour party for her. If she wants that, she should pay for that.

also, the threadstarter got the game all fukked up. traditionally, the bride's fam is sposed to pay for the wedding. if a nikka gotta pay for they own wedding, might as go with the cheapest alternative possible.
