Who Will Pay For My Wedding?



I'm glad someone asked me that as I've been dying to talk about it on my own terms from my experience in real time. From looking at the mother to sneak around the corner and whisper to each other about how I hate the taste of other mothers. "Another mother does not have much money as we do." "We do not do things like this, where I was with!" etc., etc. .. Caddy and I love! Venting to someone safe, staff, feels so wonderful and liberating.

where I came from a wedding cost almost nothing, you had to run to the front desk to get any of the shrimp, there was no booze, just kick, sliced ​​ham with rolls and some cheese cubes. It lasted, thank God, oi an hour and a half, and you can return to our real lives. Oh, I almost forgot, salted pecans is always showing ... Usually there was a lot of those.

Now who pays for it, this life time? Most dads coming home at 9 or 10 at night, leaving early to work, they have tons of tax, other children in college and the bride was guilty seeks $ 130,000 in cash, right now, for an event, a night! Who is nuts here? Welcome to my world ...

Many high end wedding in Los Angeles by a range of 125 people and cost between $ 75K and $ 160K. Costs vary depending on location and guest count, transportation needs, etc. This number includes all costs, not just restaurants, but that does not include any garment. One marriage I know is for 40 guests and cost 1.2 million, so sometimes there is no reason for the rules.

the best way to attack the financing, which I saw in California, where the wedding experience of the four parties: Meet-N-Greet, Rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony / reception and post wedding Brunch is sit down with all those who willing to participate financially and pow wow. It is important early in the game to see who and who's out. Those who may participate in other ways, by giving time and effort, just not the means.

When a family has a lot more money than others, usually they will step shoulder 75% of the project, a second family to give 12.5%​​, and children (bride / groom) will give 12.5%. That way everyone gets to participate and feel of the show. You can do all these percentages in any way you like I'm just outlines. Normal people who pay all that they can remain comfortable.

I also had various family members offer to pay for certain items, for example, step-father to pay for the band / DJ / glazbe.Teta or godmother to pay for something like cake. Mother-of-the-groom pay for all the flowers for the entire celebration. It can be very large numbers to cover, and my God, how generous of donors to take on this responsibility.

Why do you anyone would want to spend this kind of money on one night, just to show off or to keep up with the Joneses? Number of reasons why people spend money on big parties want to celebrate it and they understand a particular joy to actually find someone you want to spend my life. They want to gather the clans so that they are brought together, can meet each other and form a support group for the new couple.

This is the night, a special night, where the old, young, sometimes children, everyone can get together and see each other and friends look their best, get all the photos that last forever, and create memories that last even longer . We work and work and work, drudging and the present day. When we have something like a wedding to look forward to it so exciting as it should be. In addition to a car or a house, which costs more? Little wonder that so much stress, struggle, everyone wants their piece to fill the guest list.

Emily One of the most important lesson I learned was the label has created something so when we go places we do not know much about, we have a basic set of rules based on what seems to feel comfortable with others around us. Use common sense about what constitutes the second most comfortable you can not make big mistakes in society. The company, which will be free of large parties and weddings.
