I have to say that if I ever get married (doubtful) my parents would insist on inviting half the world. that's how they roll. I'm sure my wedding would be hella-expensive, just due to pure numbers of guests! (of course if my parents did this I'd make them pay for it).
We got married in Vegas - just our parents and us. Had a great time. Then a month later we had a big party. So much more relaxed and very little money spent.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
My wedding last year cost just over $10,000 and I've been told it was one of the nicest weddings anyone has ever gone too. The hall was decorated like no one had ever seen before and made it pretty memorable to a lot of people.
yeah, $100,000 is ridiculous. We got a major break by planning ours on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. It's just like a Friday in that everyone is off the next day. But by doing it on a Wednesday, we knocked $30 per head off the reception, which was held in a top notch spot.
no, the parents who obviously have the money for it on both sides are chipping in.

got married 16yrs ago had the weeding at my mother inlaws house and still spent 20grand but the party wen't on for 2days so it was worth every penny ....:D
Just last summer I went to one of those $100k weddings. Such a waste. It was a very nice reception, but the ceremony is what it's about. It was the Father of the Bride's only child, but ridiculous nonetheless. To each their own, right?

your friend sounds extremely rich if he is going to have a 100 000 wedding.....who is doing the entertainment....skid rock?
I figure it will cost around 20 000

X, considering that this is NYC, do the parents happen to be "connected". I know the wedding that I was at, the Father was quite "connected". Never before had I seen a guest at a wedding wear a whiter suit than the bride's.
"The leads are weak!"
"The leads are weak? Fuckin' leads are weak? You're Weak! I've Been in this business 15 years"
I would NEVER do that wedding ridiculousness....But to each their own!!!!
I doubt I'll ever get married anyway.
I know I'm a cynic...but break ups are hard enough without involving the government, the law, court rooms, lawyers etc. UGHHH.
Now that is really keeping it simple. Simpler than Vegas = no marriage at all.
outstanding!!! i like the yosemite part too...:)
i can't imagine spending untold amounts of money on a wedding......does it mean your love is stronger if you spend hundreds of thousands of dollars? no.....get a civil service, then have a bitchin' party and get on with your lives....:)
i doubt that. i guess they're just very successful at their line of work and when you combine the income of four people, it can be done. what do I know? I've never planned one of those, I was just shocked to hear that the cost could approach that figure.

My wife was a wedding planner before she got promoted at her hotel. The guy who owns Scott Tissue had his daughter there and spent, ready for this....................................$400,000.00!!!!!!
Ya fucking believe that?

It's all that money he saves on going single ply! "Now even softer" my ass! Softer than sandpaper maybe.

obviously i don't know the exact figure since i've never planned one, but i was hanging out with one of my friends who just got engaged and he was telling me about his planned wedding for next year and the ballpark figure of everything was in the neighborhood of 100,000.
I guess it's fine if you have the money for it, but I had no idea these things can cost that much. shows you my ignorance on the topic.
:eek:
I think that's astronomical. I don't think that's the norm. It depends on where you get married, and in what season, and what time of day. It even depends on what day you get married. But I think that's an obscene amount of money. Even if they're wealthy and they have it. That's 1/4 of the value of a nice house on Long Island! Man oh man.
I want to have a backyard bbq wedding reception : )

i'm guessing night weddings in the summer with part of it outdoors are more pricey.

I remember watching one of those MTV shows were some New York Meathead got married and spent about that much. It was so stupid. Guarantee they're divorced now.

probably so but not $100,000 worth I want to have the reception at someone's house, in the backyard! With bbq!!
now the wedding I want to have in a church. If I have to convert, I will
the only wedding I know the cost of is my cousin's
they got married in a country club in Jersey and it was 35K, 10 yrs ago. It was a great wedding. But I still wouldn't pay that much even if I had the money. I'm going to get my dress at David's Bridal for $99

We didn't go crazy
We actually paid for the Band,Flowers,Limo,Videographer and Photographer
We had the Wedding at an old manison outside of Philly
$100,000 is crazy !
Just curious to the OP is the couple that is getting Married paying for it themselves ?
The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill
A protuberance of flesh above the waistband of a tight pair of trousers
Simple....simple....simple.
Yet kind of fun and romantic in its own way.
Or Yosemite in the spring.
I would NEVER do that wedding ridiculousness....But to each their own!!!!

But even that really costs quite a bit after you factor in travel.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

but you dont have to spend a fortune
my wife and I got married for less than 20k, 100 people
its the damn ring thats costly!
even 20k seems like waaay too much to me.
I'd just turn on the stereo and have some chips and dip.
small ceremony with only my closest family and friends. and it's something they can enjoy... a vacation out to vegas!
lol, my ring probably cost around 3 times what our wedding cost.
But, at least I'll be wearing it for the rest of my life. The wedding is over and done with.
