If you want a big wedding, have it. I had it! We had two reality shows ask to feature my wedding because it was so over the top. If my kids want one, I’ll oblige. It’s their day and all that.
It’s just as I get older, they’re all very similar and are so much money. I still am the most gracious guest and tell the B+G how lovely everything is and how it’s the best day ever. I just would be thrilled if my kids want to do something a little out of ordinary.

That sounds amazing. One of our fav weddings was in Turks and Caicos and it was a week with a small group of friends just having the best time. I love a destination wedding. I wanted to elope too. Still mad I didn’t. Sorry, you were bound by duty to have a full Catholic mass and collect envelopes full of cash from people at your ballroom reception. Truly. I was shot down by my and his parents that I’m legally obligated to gather all family in one ballroom. Btw. I just had to find out what the going rate in NY was for an envelope these days. STICKER SHOCK.

I will say we paid for our wedding so we only had people that we wanted there. No mil’s friend we’ve never met 😂
That being said it was a cookie cutter wedding with glow sticks, photobooth and a popcorn bar.

Loved my big wedding that my parents paid for 18 years ago and counting, when I was 23. I guess I'm a special unicorn around here or something. Weddings are lovely. Life is short. When else do we get to dress up, go to a big party, and celebrate people we love? It's the least wasteful thing out there, IMO. Yes, people get lost in the minutiae and all that. But I love going to weddings. And I'll compliment your donut wall even though it's kind of unsanitary. Because this is your day. We don't get a lot of days just about us in our lives. The food waste has become a big thing for me. I see these incredible cocktail hour and dessert spreads and at the end of the night I watch it all go in a dumpster and it kills me. My current peeve is seating charts done by table instead of alphabetically. Couples spend $$$ on a giant vintage mirror and a calligrapher who hand paints this elaborate signage. It looks beautiful, but I end up standing next to it with a spreadsheet and asking people for their names, then telling them what table they're at.

My first wedding was big and traditional. It was fine. I should have splurged more on the photography.
My second was 35 people at a local vineyard with a taco bar and then bar hopping downtown. Half of our budget was the photog. I loved it so much.

MH and I just went to a really amazing over-the-top wedding over the weekend. We were talking about no matter how insane the wedding is, they are all essentially the same and it becomes a big expensive production for everyone attending. Of course, if our kids want that, sure. But as we get older, it seems more and more like such a huge amount of money for one night. We would love if our kids wanted to do something different and we could take that money and throw a wedding on a private island in Belize or a mansion on Lake Como or a nightclub in St Barths. Like, an amazing multi-day party somewhere spectacular with our friends and family. So I’m all in on Sofia’s wedding and I will be playing all the TikToks for my children in hopes of indoctrinating them. I would totally support this. The amount of money people spend on bullshit in their wedding and to go nowhere is insane. At least with what you described there was a vacation and all of that included. Great destination, private chef for our group is something I would prefer for a large as venue for people I rarely see anyway. I think it a huge waste and MOST people I know regret the amount or the lengths they went through for this literal one day. There are so many ways to celebrate a wedding and an over the top party at the local hall with people you barely see or know just isn't it for ME.

I truly with all my heart feel people should pay for their own weddings. I feel a lot of bullshit would be cut out if people planned the wedding that they the couple could afford.

They are supposed to fight? Ours have different types lockdowns. They have the ones that are something going on outside which is usually someone reported with a gun, the hiding drill where you lock the door, the one where you stay in the room intended for medical emergency. My kids have not been taught to fight. Ours are mostly hiding. Dd is taught to hide first and lock doors but how to fight if someone comes in to the room before they can hide That’s closer to what ours are. The main focus is hide well.

Our wedding was super fun. The band came out for an encore. The bar at the after party ran out of Veuve because that was my drink of choice at the time so everyone bought a bottle. It ended with my mom cutting me off while I was chugging a bottle of Veuve. So many random hookups and late night fiascos bc we were still in our 20’s. And we had a bougie hangover brunch the next morning.
THAT SAID.
I turned to MH at the wedding this weekend. Which was so great. And said, “do you think there were people at our wedding debating what time they could leave to pay the babysitter or complaining how much this weekend cost them?” And he was like, “absolutely.”

Dd was so upset the first drill this year because her teacher couldn’t find the key to lock the door. She said good thing I know how to throw books or a chair

Cher my h is similar though. He loved ours obviously but I think he would have loved to elope. We are going to my nephew’s wedding in November we have to travel and he is dreading it but I’m planning outfits and everything.

March 28, 2023 Speaking of the former reality star who was treated fairly poorly in the reveals today, she has already made plans with the alliterate almost A- list actress to have baby play dates when the actress has her baby. The dates will of course be photographed and sold to tabloids like the good old days. Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan I don't think Paris would entertain this. Not after Lindsay was selling her ass in Dubai.

April 3, 2023 It is always believe the victims or publicize the affair for ratings until it is your own son-in-law, and then it is we need privacy and the woman is lying. Amazing how the news broke after the reunion filmed, isn't it? Lisa Vanderpump/Jason Sabo/Vanderpump Rules I hate Lisa Vanderpump. That being said, her daughter always appeared to be a nice person.

We have another NYC wedding we can't afford this June, and I will be staying for the last drop of champagne exactly BECAUSE it was an effort to get there. I had a blast at the last one, and I'm really stoked for this one too.

I don’t know how to explain it I find her to be a snake. She encourages mess and backstabbing through others and will then hide her hand.
