You disagree that more than $10,000 for wedding is a waste of money? That's $10k that could have gone to student loans.

- brazzy 7y agoIt really depends on your financial situation. What if you have no student loans and a six-figure income? A $10k wedding (or a $50k one, for that matter) is only a waste of money if you don't value big fanc events where you're the center of attention, and it's only a financially unwise decision if you cannot afford it.
- mm89 7y agoMany lucky individuals from wealthy families (in the USA at least) do not pay for their own weddings out of pocket, since it is tradition for the bride's family to pay for the wedding and the groom's parents to pay for the honeymoon.
- thehappypm 7y agoWeddings are monumental, memorable, and fun events for family and friends. They add a richness to life. People in my family still talk about weddings from literally decades ago and it's a great way to bring people together and make memories. You don't need to spend $50k on a wedding. You also don't need to go uber-frugal. There's a happy medium out there for most people.
- waylandsmithers 7y agoI don't, and it is. This is coming from someone who spent a multiple of that amount on a wedding. My issue though, is that you're attempting to apply logic to something driven almost entirely by emotions in the first place.
