Weddings

Having attended a few weddings and having been one half the team on the giving end, I would offer a few comments.

1. Yes, you are of a different generation. Embrace it, and get over it.
2. The planning for weddings is very tramatic for all parties concerned, but mostly for the bride and her mother. Every detail has the potential to be a crisis.
3. Compromises are a must, but difficult to reach.
4. When your daughter gets married, your job is to keep your mouth shut, and check book open. See rule #2.
5. Weddings, like gallstones, will pass. Enjoy and go with the flow.

I think you are right to have a budget going in. However, don't be too surprised if the upper limit "comes under discussion," especially about two months out, as plans and reality begin to clash.

Just try to stay cool. It's only money.

For DSQ--

"you can put 9K in mutual funds so your grandkids can go to collage in 18-years with 304K (do the math)."

If read your post correctly, $9K invested in a mutual fund will be worth $304K in 18 years.

Sir, please tell me the name of that fund. Assuming it was a legitimate fund, I would love to risk 9K with the chance to make $304K in 18 years. Perhaps there was typo, and you meant to write $30K in 18 years?

You may recall that $9K earning 7% per year will be worth $18K in ten years ("rule of 7". I haven't bothered to figure out what your hypothetical fund would have to return to go from $9K to $304K, but it must be a pretty hefty percentage. Would love to know about a fund that has that kind of performance.
