The amount of upcharge on anything wedding or funeral related is honestly insane nowadays. Want to rent a space for a party? Sure, that’ll be 2000 euros. Renting the same space for a wedding? Sure, that’ll be 5000 euros, catering not included. Ridiculous.
The diamon cartel spent years trying to convince everyone that engagement rings should cost X months of salary. Then they raised it to whatever bullshit number it is today.
Diamonds are actually stupid cheap, so all that inflated price goes straight to these assholes’ profits. So I disagree, getting married is overpriced
Well yea I’m aware but what I’m saying is that it doesn’t really cost the wedding couple anything… Not right away anyway, because then they’ll have to spend money going to weddings for the people that came for them, I’m aware.
If you’re extroverted, a wedding is worth it. It’s a time where all your extended family can gather and meet the other extended family, and possibly one of the biggest parties of your life. I had a blast. Our wedding planner kept asking if we were ready to go, but we stayed until the DJ left!
Also the honeymoon was a great way to start out our journey. We love traveling, and it was great to just have a week to relax after the stress of planning a wedding.
The one caveat I recognize is that we got lucky and didn’t have to pay from our own pockets for most of this. We also didn’t want to buy a house early on since we were going to move in a few years.
Getting married is a quick, cheap process. Weddings and honeymoons are where people tend to spend more money than they should.

Don’t you guys make money from weddings?
In my area it’s standard practice that people have ro give you so much money at your wedding that you make a profit.
Nevermind how much the restaurant takes ofc…
Then you’re just spending your loved ones’ money, still a loss for you and yours.

God I hate this practice btw.
