Well according to half the married motherfuckers on this forum you may want to consider giving up blowjobs for the rest of your life as a serious expense.
Getting Married/Marriage Expenses

I got married at this joint.
Gallier Hall :: The City of New Orleans
My mom and dad's families are both huge.
It's kinda like a tradition for my dad and his brothers and sisters to chip in and pay for the food and drink at all the kids weddings.
I got off relatively cheap and it was really nice.
Advice...
Save as much money as you can. It's only one day. It can be affordable and still very nice.

This may be true in the south and midwest , however in NY / NJ / CA weddings will cost you atleast 20 K -40 K .

Yea I haven't heard of Wedding done around here for less than $30k...
Typically 200 Guests (big family here) at $150+ each plus extras (limos flowers etc) will get you to a good $35k easily
Got married a few months back at The Grand Event Center, Northfield. About $6k total for everything, including open bar (bar was about 25% of the bill). We got cakes and flowers from the local grocery store for about 20% of what you'd normally pay. Best parts:
- Wedding and reception in the same place. No fucking driving after the ceremony, that shit sucks.
- Perfect sized building. We had about 120 adults and 30 kids. Plenty of space for those that wanted to dance to dance, plenty of room for tables for those that didn't.
- Old converted theater created a great atmosphere.
Like many people have said, go cheap and have a lot more fun. Going broke for a wedding is retarded.

I am about to get married next year and for sure it'll be in the range $10k - $15k
I am trying to keep the budget down but with 400 guests, the food & venue already set me back $6k.
I wish I live in western countries where it seems wedding is much more simpler and cost a lot less than here in Asia. It's just too much hassle and I will rarely see 80% of the guests anymore after the wedding

Then you're a fucking idiot for paying 20K for a wedding.
Guido wannabes anyway.
You dumb fucking kiddies are missing the whole point of the day, to start a marriage, not to have a fucking wedding. Anyone dumb enough to drop 30K on a fucking one day event deserves a bat between the ears for chronic stupidity.
In other words, you're no smarter than the fat trailer trash women who buy bottles of Acai....
I'm not married (or anywhere near it), but I agree with this. Unfortunately most of the girls I've talked to fail to grasp this concept. But then again I live in LA.
You got good advice! Try a destination wedding. You and the lady could get married in a castle for what it would take to feed the whole family at Olive Garden (hey, where's that Olive Garden expert). Just make sure to lock the back door if you have any African American wedding guest....lol
Anyway, you could get married like a king and queen in Eastern Europe!
I've been doing some research for my own nuptuals and found this place:
Rydzyna Castle Hotel
That's right a whole fucking castle for peanuts!
Plus it could be small and romantic and probably only your "true" friends will show up.
A school mate of mine got married in a castle in Morocco literally fit for a king for the fraction of the typical US wedding.

I love weddings. Take some pics of your wife's topless male dancers, lol
GL.....
My Advice: Realize you'll be much happier not married, don't leave her but just put the wedding on definite hyatis.
If you actually go for it, pluses:
If you actually go for it, pluses:
- Free booze or open bar.
- Buffet. Every wedding I have been to that has standard plates just sucks.
- Non-stop tapping of the fucking glass. Seriousely do you need to make 50 fucking toasts? I'm here to party.
- Lame ass DJ's playing nothing but family friendly music. I mean the chicken dance and oldies are great and all, and I understand there are little kids around, but damn.
Damn! What's up with all these unhappily married men?! Not to diss you guys but if your relationship doesnt' work out, doesn't mean his won't. Also, I challenge some assumptions that are being made here:
1) Your sex life will go to hell. Who told you that? There are actually married couple's whose sex life get better through the years. Hell, maybe you guys need some tantric sex videos. Or, perhaps you need more open minded wives. Your wife should be as interested in pleasing you physically as you (I hope) are for her.
Get her some books to read, watch videos, role play, ask her to meet you at work for a mid day "snack" (wink.....)
Don't brain wash the guy into thinking his sex life is going to suck. If that doesnt work, do some kind of meditation or something...
2) You won't have fun anymore - huh?! Your wife should be your best friend. Did you have a LIST when you were looking for a partner? Yes I mean an actual physical list. I know I had mine!!
If video games, beer (light for the ladies, lol), gliders and rugby were your thing, perhaps you should have only "entertained" women who liked those things. Yes there are women who enjoy all those things - and look fucking hot in high heels doing it
4) Morals/Character. All this talk about "money". First of all, it's as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor one. What's wrong with a woman who wants a guy who is financial successful? Once again, if you did your "research" you'd look for a woman that had both character AND ambition.
A woman with good character isn't going to NOT spend whatever resources you have JUDICIOUSLY. I personally wouldn't blow $25k on some Manolos and Jimmy Choos or a Birkin bag even though I know my man wouldn't mind.
However, I recognize if I helped him meet some quarterly goals, not only would his income increase and he'd be happier, I could have those toys too!
LOL
In other words, the right ambitious woman combined with morals and good character to send your net worth from $XXX,XXX to $XX, XXX,X,XXX and beyond!
So please stop giving this guy a hard time.
Lastly, one thing you may want to invest in before the wedding is pre-marital counseling.
Alot of people don't ask themselves important questions until AFTER they get married. Such as:
Am I a largely traditional man or liberal - do I expect my lady to change once we get married?
How do I feel about child rearing, spanking for instance?
Do I want to live abroad or not and what about her?
Do I want a non-conventional marriage or not? (ex. some couples purposely take breaks from each other, let's say one goes off to take a class or something 3 months a year so both can enjoy their alone time...)
These are just my IMHO's. But I was hoping the guy heard the feminine perspective so he doesn't get cold feet!!!!
Be careful.....she could end up here......lol....
