CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I also dig this song a lot too. It probably wouldn't be appropriate for a wedding song unless the lyrics were changed..Maybe something reserved for make-up romance after a fight or something. I dunno

My dream wedding would be a very small gathering of closest friends and family. Dress would be nice but nothing fancy.
If I am going to be taking vows to spend the rest of my life with someone then I want my focus (and his) to be on the commitment and not outward appearances.

IF that day ever comes, I want my wedding to be something simple. Extravagant weddings to me are a total waste of time and resources. The 3 most expensive weddings I have attended, the marriage ended in divorce within 5 years.
If you plan a wedding that becomes so expensive and such a huge deal that it stresses everyone out by the time that it even gets here, then in my opinion something is totally screwed up.

I want a simple, small, pretty wedding. I want everything to be a bit relaxed. Nothing over the top or extravagant. I just want to focus to be on the occasion and everyone having a nice time.

If I got married again, it would be a smaller simply wedding (same as the first time). However, before we make people feel like a big wedding is a waste, we have to remember that weddings in the Biblical times were huge celebrations that were used to join to families, not just two people. Jesus' first miracle was at such a wedding and I believe it was on the third day of celebrating.
I now know a funeral costs over $10,000 and that was nothing fancy. I remember wishing that we had spent more money on the celebration of our lives together than on just on his death.
If the true focus is on each other and you can afford the big party too, then enjoy it and celebrate your love.

$10000 is actually the low end of a wedding budget... Simple venues, inexpensive dresses, a little floral.. That will put you around the 10,000 mark alone. I think 20k is about average for a small catered wedding.

There isn't a single reason why a small, formal wedding/reception should cost $10,000. That is astronomical and ridiculous. I'm sure it's the 'low end' of a wedding budget for some people, but that is way over the top for the average Joe, and it doesn't need to be.
It's all about creativity and thinking outside the box. Get in touch with your resourceful side and you'll be surprised how cheaply you can throw an awesome wedding. Lol

That's just what I've found from working in the wedding industry. Even my sister had a simple wedding, picnic basket dinner for the guests that my family assembly line put together, decorations homemade, etc and hers was between 10 and 15k. Venues are seriously just really expensive. Photographers are really expensive. Feeding 100 people is really expensive. I don't think a lot of people realize what goes into it until they start planning.

Another note- of you decide to get real floral instead of fake that's another HUGE price tag. For my friends wedding she bought a bunch of flowers and had me do the arrangements and bouquets myself (saves a lot of money) and it was still an arm and a leg. Think of it this way- when your boyfriend gets you a bouquet of a dozen roses that's usually around $75. Now multiply that by the number of tables, bridesmaids, the flowers you want surrounding the ceremony... It adds up scary fast.

I said that is how much I spent on my husband's FUNERAL...bare bones package but a grave funeral...and I didn't have to pay for the plot. (Actually, the check was closer to $12,000). Our wedding cost $500 with pictures and a video (I have the receipt). My dress was $35. He wore his uniform. I also spent $125 for formal pictures and $30 for flowers. It seemed such a shame that more money was spent on a party he couldn't come to and I wasn't in the mood to enjoy the people there)

Right.
I think it's just another one of those things we're conditioned to expect and think should cost tens of thousands.
People in other countries manage to get married for probably half that(or a lot less) and I imagine are equally as happy with their marriage.
It's probably one of the best examples of the subjectivity of value. It's worth it to some, but to a lot of people, absolutely not.
