This is where it starts going wrong.
This is where rational thought gets twisted, next is Disney movies...
A guy I worked with offered his daughter a $30,000 down payment on her and hubby's first house if they could skip the big wedding. She said no. When they came back from the honeymoon they moved in with the folks so he couldn't afford to retire.

It is a curious madness but there are cures.

It's a single day and will be over before you know it. You should mark the occasion with a ceremony and celebration, and those things do cost some money, but keep in mind that all the money is being burned and plan accordingly.
It's the marriage that matters, not the wedding. |

 Oh, I can think of a real easy solution to that problem (she says, as she paints the empty room that we politely evicted the employed and fully capable 18-year-old from a few weeks ago...) I'd bet any amount of money your friend's problem wasn't actually with his daughter--it was with his wife, who insisted on letting them stay. |

Also, the possibility his wife didn't want him home.  I remember another guy who bought a cabin in the Poconos. He told me he was going to retire in less than 5 years so was fixing it up to make everything compact and efficient for him and his wife so the could sell their 2 story colonial and escape to the mountains. When retirement time came, 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren had moved back home.

Why should someone else pay for your wedding?
Reason #128,850 I'm glad I never had children. Never regretted it. Not once.
