I wouldn't mind getting married at a court and just pay $10 for a marriage license, why pay $20,000?

Question

for a wedding?

Answer 1

I paid 100.00 for getting married in court house and paid 2,000 for wedding. not bad. everyone had a good time and everyone was happy to see the beer and said that first time to see that beer in our wedding haha. my boss female was so drunk and I was wearing Kilt and she said I pay you 100.00 to grab your ***. and I asked my wfie and she said ok and she grab my *** for good 2 mins and got 100.00 wow. haha

Answer 2

Those big weddings aren't about love and two couples coming together for that one purpose. I'm with you on this. It's all hype and it's all for a good party. The whole marriage thing is like Christmas. There's presents, food, family and most of all acohol. You might as well just throw a family reunion or a party and have the same results.

I think a marriage should be a sacred vow between two people and it shouldn't have to involve any material things or money for that matter. Only you and your partner are important for this bond and embracement so leave the family at home and throw the party after you go get this marriage license. Just don't get that license in Vegas. It still has to be special but what I'm saying is we should keep it unique to ourselves and not follow this ritual where religion makes the rules for you.

Answer 3

Well, usually the wedding is for the bride and most brides do not want to get married at a court house. Most women dream of that moment since the age of 14. You don't have to pay that much. I had a very nice wedding for around 2,000. I paid a 100 for a dress and the family made food. We decorated the back of his grandmother's house and had our wedding there. It was beautiful. 20,000 is a little extreme especially for one day that last around 3 hours.

Answer 4

Here's the thing: MOST women grow up there whole lives dreaming and planning this wedding. It is one day were everybody comes to see you and honor your love for each other. The wedding symoblizes the beginning of a marriage. The white gown symbolizes purity. It is a girls dream to walk down the asile and see the look on her man's face, to have everybody say how pretty she looks on this day. The reception is so everybody can congratulate the two of you and wish you the best. My husband said the only reason he helped plan the wedding is because he knew that i wanted a huge wedding (my family all gets along his doesn't so he didn't care). It was about respecting each other, and we learned a lot about each other in the process.

Answer 5

You are also a man....many women dream of the day they're getting married...she wants to feel special on that day--It's a special day and event and SHOULD be cherish and celebrated. People these days don't take marriage seriously anymore.. If you are marrying for the right reasons you dont need a huge ceremony...My grandparents married at the courthouse and I think paid $15 or $50 something like that and have been married for nearly 50 year ( next year ).

Answer 6

I am getting married next september and have already started a guest list. But you know that's so far away, and there's so much planning and people you're worried you might forget to put on the list. While I'm excited for the wedding, I'm not looking forward to all the money. If we could get away with going to the JP to get married, I would. But maybe have at least a nice reception and weding dance.

Answer 7

If you dont understand why women have the need to show that they are tying a man down in huge expensive ceremony then you will probally not get married anytime soon.
I'm just kidding but yeah the reasons for having the large ceremony differ from person to person. Frankly I'm not going to spend that much on my wedding but I want to have a nice wedding because my mom and none of my aunts did and so far none of my cousins have either. I'm kinda the last chance my grandparents and so on have to see get married so it's not only important to me but to my family.

Answer 8

It's a special day. A day that is only supposed to come once, (but for most comes quite a bit). My first marriage was at the justice of the peace and it sucked. I'm not with him anymore so I'm not upset about the money spent, lol. However, my next and final wedding will be all out.

Answer 9

I was able to do my wedding out side in a park with a nice cake a nice dress, tuxes ,food, and drink for under $2,000. And that included invites marriage license and the minister. So it can be done for cheaper without giving up the wedding. You just have to think cheap.

Answer 10

Looking back I agree with you. My ex's parents offered us $10K in lieu of a wedding some 20+ years ago but we were young and dumb and wanted the whole show. Even though we're now divorced I know that there were plenty of times when we said to each other, we should have taken the cash.

Answer 11

Do what makes you happy!!!!!I was planning on having the HUGE wedding, starting the planning and in the middle of it I could not believe the cost so we ran away and got married in Las Vegas and it was so perfect just the 2 of us. I got married in jeans and a t shirt........
