The wife and I paid for our own wedding. We had an amount set aside just for that event. So we kept it reasonable and found a place that was very affordable. I think the meal came in around $10-12 a person. We did the whole shebang for around $7500 and had a great time. Actually, I think we did it for less than that and that included the honeymoon (we drove to Duluth).

The most fun wedding I ever attended was a buddy of mine. Small country church followed by a dinner and dance held in his father-in-law's barn. They had cleaned it out, added some lights and a DJ. Great time had by all and very affordable.

I attended an expensive wedding a couple of years ago and it wasn't as much fun. The bride got mad at the alcoholics, etc.

Keep the money down on a wedding as you can still have a great time. Put the rest of the money towards the important stuff like house, college, tractors, ATV's, hunting gear, etc.

Yooperpete, I think your investment was well worth it! I don't understand rap music. I grew up just it was coming on scene. So people only 3-5 years younger than me have very different tastes in noise to listen to. It's great to live out in the country since I don't have any neighborhood hoodlums listening to rap at 1 am at full volume.

Never did understand the stuff. Can't understand what they are saying and the music has no rythm or style. It's just noise. I hope my kid (due in less than 4 months) doesn't get into that stuff.

Speaking of cRAP, did you see the news of one of the rap label's ehad guy getting arrested for running a drug ring? Guess the jewelry cut off the circulation to the brain. At least the gold teeth with get knocked out easily making him very popular with the men in prison.

barrow, I hear ya. My first kid is due in May. My wife and I have talked. One form of punishment I'll be considering is showing up at a shool function wearing plaid orange golf pants with an ugly shirt.

I hope I can right with raising the kid.

Murf, sounds like a right nice wedding to me. The best part of a wedding are the good friends and close family that you get to hang out with. I enjoyed that aspect the most. A legal marriage is the best thing from a legal standpoint to make sure she gets the estate (assuming you want that) and gives her legal control over you should you become incapacitated/knocked out. That way she can make the decisions regarding any medical care etc.

If no marriage, then they have to track someone down to make the call. The result may not be what you would have wanted and your wife knew about but had no legal authority to enforce. So it's a good thing.

Besides, marriage seems to make the women happy. So if it saves you some grief, ok. Besides, it's a good excuse to have a few drinks with some good friends in a warm location.

Enjoy it!

Well, it does depend on if your wife is the cause of your coma/incapacitation... Mine can't shoot straight and hasn't been taught very well how to handle a weapon. So I should be able to hide while she looks for the safety...

I'm learning that sometimes it's good to go along with what she wants even if it makes no sense to you. And I've only been married 3.5 years.

Renewing your vows wouldn't be so bad. It's an excuse to go on a nice second honeymoon. Besides, if she's happy, then you have avoided a potential major source of unhappiness.
