Got married in 96 at the Vogue on Des Grand Prairies (St.Leo), we were 375 people sitting and 50 more came after the meal. Cost us a little over 35K but we Italians always bring "envelopes" so the party paid it self and I came out about 10K on top.

I got married twice to my wife. Once in the US (where most of my family is)($5K) and a second time (cuz most of her relatives are here) here in the Philippines ($10K).Comment

It depends on the culture. In the US, it's mostly the bride's parents that pay for the wedding. In the Philippines, it's usually the groom's parents that pay for the wedding. I paid for both my weddings LOLOriginally posted by bdjufIs it true that the brides father usually pays the wedding?

My first wedding was a biggie and cost $25k. The bride paid.
My second wedding (in Vegas) cost $2.5k. I paid.
The first wedding was beautiful, but the second was more fun.Comment

No, although I'm sure they aren't above bribes. Just a frivelous Disney World novelty wedding. $2500 for characters, $2000 for a carriage ride etc.Originally posted by baddogAre you paying to get them to come or something?Comment

I hear ya loud and clear on that one lol, I LOVED those envelopes so much I left with them, when my ex and I were leaving the reception hehe ;o) I also left with a big basket full of cash from our dollar dance too (not really a dollar per dance, more like 10 or 50 if you're an Italian LOL).Originally posted by RayGot married in 96 at the Vogue on Des Grand Prairies (St.Leo), we were 375 people sitting and 50 more came after the meal.

If you've never heard of that tradition (I think it's polish), but anyway the bride and groom get up on the dance floor and people line up to dance with them, but they pay you to do it. Back in the day a dollar was alot of money, so they figured this was a nice way to build a nest egg for the bride and groom to have some cash to start up with. Most weddings that I've been to usually you get $5 per dance and it's not a full song obviously because it'd take all night lol if you're family is like the size of an Italians LOL (whic includes your 5th cousins 4 times removed hehehe;) and you can usually walk away with some nice coin!Last edited by jade12; 02-25-2006, 04:53 PM.

500 pounds including the dress. Mom made the great cake, friend owned a pub and let us have the reception there.
We wanted a marriage and not a wedding. If I ever do it again I want it the same way.Last edited by Sarah_Jayne; 02-25-2006, 05:04 PM.Comment

Bride's father pay for the wedding
My father didn't even pay child support when I was a kid so I'm not holding my breath for him to pay for my wedding, that will be the day...
If I wanted a fancy, expensive wedding I would pay for it MYSELF, I don't expect my parents or my boyfriend or his parents ( they would never pay
) to pay, just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I expect my family to pay for things for me, if I wanted a big wedding I would plan for it the way I wanted it, and probably pay for most of it myself and have my bf pitch in wherever he could, but I make more than him, so I probably would end up paying for more, which I don't mind.
Me and my bf are not the most sociable people, we don't like big gatherings and big fanfare. If we ever get married I think we'll elope somewhere and do it just the two of us without anyone there.
But whatever thing I want in life, I'll pay for it myself, I'm not holding my breath for anyone to pay anything for me. Actually I have A LOT of pride in always paying for myself, I've always paid my own way and don't expect ANYONE to pay for ANYTHING for me.
If I can't afford something I just won't get it/do it, no one needs to pay for ANYTHING for me, I'll live fine just without it.Last edited by phogirl69; 02-25-2006, 05:15 PM.Comment

About $35 for our wedding and a friend paid it.
This doesn't include the dress and my suit, but they were cheap and look great. It's a nice and simple designer dress that was on sale.
... but my parents spent thousands to come to Fortaleza from Sao Paulo.Last edited by Jer; 02-25-2006, 05:39 PM.Comment

The almighty 'busta' hehehehOriginally posted by Raybut we Italians always bring "envelopes" so the party paid it self and I came out about 10K on top.
My first wedding costed about as much and the gifts were more than enough to cover expenses.
The second marriage was more intimate and rather than having everyone travel, we had three wedding parties in three different cities in Italy. We got to enjoy our family & friends more and savour the delicious food of the regions.Comment

First wife and I had the full blown deal. From start to finish, the wedding was a little over 50k.
the second wife we got married anf had the reception for about 300$PornGuy skype me pornguy_epic

Weddings are a ridiculous waste of money and time. So fucking stupid.
I can't even listen to another "Til death us do part" line of bullshit.
Its a total joke, and I've been there twice.

lol same here!!! hell, i didnt even speak to my father till i was 16 yrs old.Originally posted by phogirl69Bride's father pay for the wedding
My father didn't even pay child support when I was a kid so I'm not holding my breath for him to pay for my wedding, that will be the day...
anyways, the AVERAGE wedding costs around $25,000. Of course, that can easily be brought down to around $10 g's and you can have a fairly decent wedding and reception
-wedding dress under $300
-free grooms tux w/ rentals of groomsmem tuxs (most places)
-do the decorations yourself
-do the invitations yourself
-rent a nice luxary car instead of a limo
-buffet dinner is ALOT cheaper than a chicken/steak dinner
-free beer but not liquor (instead of full bar)
Theres no reason to spend more than $20 g's on ONE day for ANYTHING lol Make it nice, make it rememberable, make it affordable. The LAST thing you want is a $20,000+ debt going into a marriage.

The wedding itself cost less than $100 at The Little Chapel of Flowers in Vegas. The travel costs and everything associated with it was less than $2k.
But, the divorce was a hell of a lot more.Comment

That sounds like a good time Trixxxia, what part of Italy are you from (or is your family from)? I was born in Palermo Sicily, usually go back twice a year to visit family and I LOVE just to sit in the vineyard, talk to everyone, eat and drink and there's NO experience quite like that anywhere else.

Interesting parallels with Filipino culture. We do that dance as well. It's called the money dance. The guests would place money in envelopes and pin it on the bride's dress or groom's clothes. Then the bridge or groom is obligated to the dance with the person pinning the money. Sometimes they would also pin the dollar bills together with the final bill pinned to the bride.

Well I'm not sure if they did the same thing or not back in the day, my Nona's best friend was Polish and she was the one that suggested it when they were planning the reception, we also had special table cloths that were put out that everyone signed (can't remember which culture that's from) but they had to give us a bottle of wine in order to do so. I've still got tons of it that I haven't even touched yet in my fathers wine cellar LOL ...Originally posted by $5 submissionsInteresting parallels with Filipino culture. We do that dance as well.

These are not traditions that you'd see at a "normal" Italian wedding, but anything to do with money and wine, is OK in my family. Not too mention 4 bridal showers and listening to my Nona continuously say (while I was opening gifts), "thadda one is notta so good, we take thadda one back and getta primo" or "huh you owna two restaurants and this is what you give my bella?" LMAO (you don't be cheap at an Italian wedding either, because Nona knows who makes how much money, what gift she gave their kids 20 years ago and there WILL be a comparison in public or not LOL, so you might just be sitting in the hot seat hehe;o)
