You must be the poorest person on the forums here if you think that 1100€ for a wedding is expensive. I advise you to divorce your wife and spend your time paying 15€ a month on a World of Warcraft subscription whilst you eat noodles and chips for the rest of your life. This has nothing to do with my maybe, or maybe not having more money than you, for whatever reason. This is about principle. To me it sounds like you're being a cheapskate. Of course you wife will say that 1100€ for a wedding is 'too expensive' if you're both broke as a joke. Might not be your fault sure. But I believe, and I have always believed even as a broke kid, that every woman deserves the marriage of her dreams and to have as much money spent on them for that 1 day, as is necessary. In the end they'll be having my kids, looking after them, working and pumping out an equal 50% of a structured life with me, on top of putting up with me. And don't even think of making the mistake of thinking that your wife is the only woman out of 3.4 billion that doesn't have to put up with your antics. Do you think your wife would say 15,000€ was too much for a wedding if you were a Dentist and you made that in under a week? Your's and your wife's standards scale with the amount of money that you are making. Unless you're one of those try-hard 'indie' clowns
who enjoys selling house and home to go and live in the wilderness and get eaten by bears.
If I were either of you. I would wait it out until you have more money, because it seems that your mindset is completely on the fiscal side of tying the knot. Sure it's just my opinion, but regardless of your's or my, situation. I'm already married, I also don't need to justify myself.
Point is. Stop thinking about how much it will cost. If you have to go to Cyprus to get married you can also take a holiday there and it would be the fitting place for a small honeymoon. Same goes if you had to pop off to Tel aviv.
So in short. Stop being such a cheapskate you jackass. Whether you have the money or not, your mindset is what I am talking about. Having, or not having the money has nothing to do with the issue of how you see the cost.
who said anything about that?
