We had never planned on getting married, but when I got this job, it saved us $600 in health insurance a month to have him on my plan. Our courthouse elopement was nothing special, and DD, who was 5 at the time told us that "this is the most boring wedding ever" and asked to go back to school...so I'm going to start saving now, because I'm guessing she's going to want something fancier. haha Oh my gosh, our courthouse marriage was also because of insurance 🤣 we needed to do something quick. But I was also secretly so relieved because I never wanted a traditional wedding and we were just like, hey surprise! We did it

It happened to be DS's birthday, because I had already taken the day off.
I do regret not having an informal reception, because I think it would have been fun...but almost 5 years later, I'm not really concerned anymore. We've been together for 18 years at this point, so we've had lots of fun parties already.

Throw a party for the 20th year! That's a huge milestone

Our ceremony part was literally 5 minutes and my aunt officiated. Obviously the marriage part is the most important part but same as you we had been together 17 years at that point with a 9 year old we already felt married we wanted the party. The ceremony was for our families

I’m obsessed with Sofia Richie’s wedding. It was perfection. I was at that hotel last Fall; the place is pure perfection. I would give my left arm or my firstborn to be able to get married there lol

I remember reading on Reddit or something some girl that went to college with Pandora. She said she was completely normal and down to earth and nobody knew her mother was Lisa. I can see this. She seemed very sweet when shown on the show Did I mention I binged all 9.5 seasons in what a month and a half I’m trying to catch up to you! I’m almost at Katie and Tom’s wedding. Please tell me they fight less after they get married because whoa.

I loved our big wedding. Our fifteenth anniversary is coming up and we get to spend it at our son’s band concert. Our tenth was the day of his dance recital. Can’t wait to see what is on schedule for our 20th 😂
*I’m not actually bothered by this, we think it’s funny.

We planned my big expensive (for our family and friend group and region) wedding while my mom was going through cancer treatment. It gave us distraction and purpose and then a big celebration to look forward to when she was finally done.
I wouldn't do it again but it was good for everyone at the time.

Is this the Knot? Can we go back to arguing about Bernie? 😂 Talk about a simpler time... My bridesmaids' dresses were teal with a white sash and a bubble hem. A BUBBLE HEM. My dress was Pronovias and had a whole lotta ruching. Two words: CALLA LILIES. Ah. To be young. My dress was Pronovias and had lots of lace with some sequins and oh I loved it so much. It was over our budget and I beggggged my dad for it. My mom begged him too. He held the purse lol. /wedding anecdote

If you can't do it up for your wedding, then when? Any time you want to? You are the driver in your life. IMO

I love a chocolate fountain. I love all cocktail hour and dessert wedding foods. That’s the main meal. We all know the actual sit down portion is subpar. So you're saying a Cescaphe wedding is your jam. Oh man. When the B+G splurge on a two-hour cocktail hour, it’s the best type of shit show.

There was recently a pretty entertaining AITA on Reddit about weddings. So poster had inherited something of value from his dad that he didn’t care about. But it was historical in nature (he never said what it was) and his brother wanted it. OP wanted to sell it to be for his big ass fancy wedding. Family was mad.
The funny part was that he said the age of him and his fiancé and they were mid to late 30s and didn’t want kids. He said this big ass fancy wedding was super important to them. Reddit folks were mostly surprised by that fact - that two people in their 30s wanted to spend a bunch of money on one day of their life.

April 3, 2023 This permanent A list actor with multiple hit shows is still alive. One night, back in the day, he and this foreign born permanent A list artist, who sold his work in mass quantities as he aged, used to go out and pick up women together and used the pickup line that either the actor would put the women in a show, or the artists would paint their picture. Neither of them ever followed through. Dick Van Dyke/Salvador Dali I don't know why but I kind of love this even if they were using it to get their dicks wet. Just the idea of the pairing, really. What would a portrait by Dali look like? I googled and it appears he has indeed done some portrait style work but I'd get a kick out of him making surrealistic portraits of his ONS. Also TIL that DVD is still alive and kicking.

I would not be ok with selling a family heirloom for it I’m also surprised people were surprised do they not watch tv? I know there are people who don’t want them don’t get me wrong but most people I talk to who talk about not wanting to spend money are people who have already had their big wedding My sister’s MIL is getting married again in September. It’s the 3rd marriage for both and she is still doing a backyard wedding because they don’t have the money to do something bigger like they want

This late night talk show host is going out with as much disdain as he came into town with and at an event this weekend was a total tool.

This foreign born A- list celebrity in her own country, and non existent to anyone other than me outside of it, needed some publicity for something other than her breast enlargements, so defaced her own property and then called the press.

The AITA sub takes some weird positions some times. I think it was the way the OP worded it though that made that topic take off.

Pandora? I wasn’t saying she should leave him. I haven’t dug into the allegations yet either ETA: and yes I remember the baby. Lisa seemed to enjoy being a grandmother What? I was just adding to the conversation.

lol They are getting divorced now. Those two should never have gotten married in the first place. Their wedding season was terrible The worst. I also don't really like Katie that much. She just seems miserable constantly. And Schwartz is just schmuck. I'd probably be miserable all the time if those people were my friends too though.

Everyone thinks their wedding was the best just like everyone thinks their kid is cute.
But statistically…that’s unlikely.
