If I ever get hitched, my wife to be will agree that the Littlest Chapel on the Strip is the Basicila san Pietro, and we will spend the money on a year long honeymoon travelling around the world .
Like, a future husband will buy an expensive ring 4 his future wife and pay for aa BIG wedding.
To me about 96% of the time those marriages don't even last long.
Why can't couples can jus be simple and just get a ring that's REALLY worth something with substance in the inside than just or having an enormous price tag and having a simple wedding than big weddings.
No offense about/to people buying BIG weddings and all, but all or most of marriages these days are being emphasizes on how big a wedding was than on the marriage itself. If You know what i mean?
1) Because people don't think
2) Because people are taught that you need a big wedding and you need a diamond (which supports some major atrocities in Africa, regardless of what De Beers says)
I am in the top 1% of wage earners and my wife and I both wear a $400 platinum band from Costco. No diamonds (we don't want to support the atrocities in Africa and it gets in the way of my job and I don't want to take it off). We had our best friend officiate the marriage (Massachusetts allows for one day marriage officiant licenses), had lunch together then my wife and I went to a nice restaurant. We then went on a nice, expensive vacation. A couple weeks later we met with friends and family to have brunch.
I don't want an engagement ring, nor do I want a wedding. I want a small family BBQ at my grandparents house and the exchange of simple wedding bands. The marriage is far more important than the ceremony and I'd hope my future husband would feel the same way.

No, no, no...according to some guys on this forum, what you really want is for your man to go into debt financing your fairy princess event, topped off with a $20k engagement ring.
An expensive wedding is silly to me but a good ring is important.
