Been there, done that. Didn't go into debt over it, was able to pay as it went planning.... but hindsight is 20/20. Even though I'm div'd now, as soon as it was over, I thought.... :dwillhuh:- that money could have been spent on a DP for a house....

Then again, I know people that did this and wouldn't have it any other way.

Edit- to clarify- my guy at the time had just as much input on the budget as I did.
Not that I watch too much porn or anything, but I think you were a bit careless in your use of "DP" right there...

1. Men want to make their women happy
2. Its hard to keep women happy if they threaten to take your p*ssy away.
3. Men are afraid to lose women.

So do you think it would be better to marry a man instead of a woman?

I digress though...its more of a problem with the middle class than anything.

Debt and consumerism created in the 1920s helped to allow people to want to live on credit so they could experience a little more of the "high life," if only for a moment.

Debt is ingrained into the fabric of this country.


I don't care about the wedding, I'd rather ball out on the honeymoon.

The man is supposed to be the leader. He should be able to say if you want to marry me then we arent having a big wedding. Lets go to the courthouse and get married in front of your loving family and friends. If she loves him she would do that wouldnt she?
Nope. This is what middle-class white women think of financially-inexpensive weddings -> :camby:
