1:06 The gift is usually on par with what you think they paid per person, tops, as a gift, so that's not too big a deal (as in your meal and drinks will probably be the same or a little more than your gift price to them)

What are they spending on? I went to a wedding last summer all I spent money on was the gift and the hotel room for one night and the lyft. I wore a suit that I already owned.

Weddings are a MASSIVE waste of money for one day of "fun." All that money could go to a down payment on a house! Elope! At your local court house.

I am a boomer. I went to a wedding last year for a nephew: Venue hotel: $650 (they demanded a two night stay) Transportation: $100 Gift: $200 Food: $300... Total: $1250 That's not including $275 for a new jacket. It was so expensive, but so much fun, and much needed after the pandemic.

Boomers have already gone to their friend's weddings and their kid's wedding and all the nieces and nephews, the kids of their friends, etc. So now they aren't going to go and drink and party. That's for younger people.

You're kidding me. I don't go to a whole lot of weddings, but the ones I've been to were technically free to attend. I bought a dress and a gift, which I do according to my own income. I look at the registry and choose something I can afford. If someone's wedding is going to cost me several hundred dollars just to be there, I won't go.

I've never given an actual physical gift. I'm a makeup artist so I always trade my services and do the bride's makeup for free. I don't understand the concept of giving an actual present, especially when most couples live together and already have a household before they get married these days.

his dream is a normally great family gathering, 200-300 people from different parts of Europe come together, we sit down, eat, drink and talk, whoever has the reason for the celebration (great birthday, wedding or great funeral) pays for it. no need for getting in debt in it, music is done regularly by the family members, such a feast takes most of the time 5-6 hours sometimes longer

Weddings are a big waste of time and money. I went to a lot of them over the last twenty years and half the people who got married are now divorced. I also think it's old hat and passe. I barely attend these events anymore anyway because most people don't know what commitment is anymore.

<<@kittywetzel92
says :
This was a good one! We paid for our wedding party attire. The only thing anyone had to pay for was drinks at the reception party. Gifts were not demanded because we had lived together for about a year. This was very interesting because my nephew had recently gotten married and my son and his lady are planning to get married within a couple years.

The most bizarre wedding I ever went to was between my mate (a concreter) and his girlfriend (a shaman) . It was (get ready.....) a 'surprise fancy-dress' wedding with a gold painted toilet where we were all dressed up in silly costumes for supposedly the bloke's birthday party (some took it a bit too seriously). Good news was it didn't cost a shilling though. The surprise bit was that the bride only discovered that she was getting married a few minutes before the celebrant appeared (dressed as the fairy godmother) and joined the happy couple (dressed as Wonderwoman and Jack Sparrow respectively). Naturally the marriage only lasted a few minutes and both are as bananas as ever. I actually try and stay away from them these days
