In fairness, if a wedding eats up your entire retirement savings, you either had a royal wedding or had no real money for retirement. I put enough in my 401k each year to pay for a wedding.

- JabavuAdams 11y agoThere's a huge variance in what people consider a reasonable price for a wedding. My wife and I budgeted $10k in 2000, and felt like that was a bit higher than we wanted. This is in Toronto, Canada. I'm always a bit surprised when younger friends tell me they're paying double that when I don't consider them to be as financially secure. Especially when they're secular, and there's no constraining family culture to appease.
