Oh It's Trying to Break Us

This wedding stuff is for the birds. How did you guys do it? It is so damn expensive. I have just been frustrated. I am ready to run off and get married and not tell anyone. We did a list of our family and friends. We came up to 260. My sister and my brother were full of I told you so's and telling me that I needed to do a destination wedding. My sister is dead set on West Palm Beach and I am dead set on Hell no! Does she think we are made of money. She thinks that just because, I don't have kids that I can just blow money. I have debt chica. I have bills to pay. I am not interested in breaking myself for a wedding. I'd rather spend my money where it matters. How about getting out of debt and buying a house when we have a substantial downpayment. My brother is like charter a bus and go to the beach. Hellooooo!!!! Charter deeez! Okay, okay my ghetto is showing. I want to have a nice wedding not the "Double dutch bus coming down tha street." (y'all don't know nothing bout that huh!) Okay, D.C. vented and D.C. Out.

@ ms. Money,

Yep! That's how I felt ;)

@ anonymous,

Elope?! And break my mom's heart. I don't think so. She is more excited than anyone. She is willing to work to help us pay for it. I hate the thought of that because my mom is retirement age. I wish I could elope but, I'd break her heart

If you and your fiance can muster the strength & discipline, maybe you guys can wait a while to get married. Save a set target amount of money then and only then should you tie the knot.

Maybe you guys can get married in Russia. I heard that you can get $7.00 haircuts in certain parts of the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R).

I feel pretty much the same way, DC. I am getting married twice. One small wedding for which I will spend little more than the license fees. My parents will be there. But then, after what will probably be a long time of saving, we will have a more traditional family, friends, Romans, countrymen type of gathering with food and stuff.

Sistah,

That sounds so wonderful. I will have to pitch that to my fiance :o).

**Update Sis** He likes it.

Ha, ha Russia! I'm southern. Why would I volunteer to go into one of the coldest countries in the world?
