Bold take, I know.

I'm a fairly ordinary 30 something year old man I've been to tonnes of weddings at this point, and I can quite seriously draw an inversely proportional graph showcasing how good a wedding was versus how much it cost.

The absolute most boring wedding I ever went to was at the most pompous catholic cathedral in town (the service was about 2 hours of "If you guys ever break up God will never forgive you in Hell" nonsense), followed by a 3 course meal at a reception venue at the top of a landmark. Who decided that sitting next to 8 people you don't know on a table so big you can only speak to 2 of them would be a good party format?

I believe that wedding cost something like $120k and they broke up within 9 months. The ring was $20k and it's resale value was something like $3k.

The best wedding I went to was at somebody's farm. They built the furniture and decorations themselves, they had their friends play in the band and another friend do the catering. There was no sit down part of it at all. And there was no goddamn church. The service itself was on the beach next to their house. Total cost was like $4k, mostly on booze. They didn't bother with an expensive ring and just decided to go on holiday instead. Everyone just camped on the grounds that night.

That's how you do a wedding! A big party with no pomp or circumstance and just good people. Save your goddamn money for something actually fun.

If you had an expensive wedding I apologise. But I stand by my opinion.
