Not sure why you're so salty you gotta insult randos without provocation, but whatever. Mine only cost about 15k, we picked out a smaller venue and keep the guest list short. I would have preferred to save that money for other things still, lol --- The Legend is True! <cite>MC_BatCommander posted [p:927969018] in How much d...

The Top Crusader 09/26/19 10:44:42 AM #52:	We had a normal average church wedding for $2-3,000. it's been a while, I don't remember exactly. >_> Talented people my wife knew basically did a fancy cake and food at cost, but I can't imagine it all costing 10x that like it apparently does. We also just used the church's annex instead of renting a fancy hall for the reception. I've been to/been in some really, really neat, fancy weddings with really cool receptions at a fancy place but like... its just one day and then its over and you don't really think about that aspect of the day that much after its over... of course I'm saying that as someone from a middle class family that married into a poor/middle class family and didn't really have any other feasible options... --- https://imgur.com/09qFfLV <cite>The Top Crusader posted [p:927969533] in How much d...

gloBal enemy 10/02/19 9:02:51 AM #57:	BlingBling22947 posted... . . . how much is a photographer? Significantly more than you'd expect. On one hand of the spectrum you could potentially get a freebie from someone trying to break into the industry to build up their portfolio/CV/experience (not recommended as your sole photographer though). On the other hand, as you add backups/second photographer so you don't miss coverage, and also a videographer if you want video, it adds up very quickly. Then there's processing, same day edits, photoshop/touch-ups, preparing an album, etc... At least in Sydney, it came to around $4-6k depending on options you chose with 2 photographers and 1 video. --- If you can understand this, I'm 2/cosC for you. <cite>gloBal enemy posted [p:928226743] in How much d...

LostForest 10/02/19 9:16:17 AM #59:	BlingBling22947 posted... [LFAQs-redacted-quote] . . . how much is a photographer? Depending on where you live, a photographer can run anywhere as low as the $500 range for a shitty one, to a few thousand for a good one, to even $5000+ if you get these guido teams with drones and shit. My wife and i spent $2000 on our photographer, and regret nothing. My advice on photography: find a private artist who does their own work instead of these big fancy photo companies. They'll be a little cheaper, and they're nicer to deal with. Additionally, photos are the one thing you don't want to skimp on since at the end of the day it's the only thing you have left after the wedding. --- http://poorcouplesfoodguide.com <cite>LostForest posted [p:928227108] in How much d...

Only if I'm cheap and then judgey people will think less of us and my wife wouldn't get the wedding she wanted. Getting married isn't about making money off of other people. 1. Blatantly false 2.
