Comment Re:outsource your wedding (Score 2) 447

My wife and I spent less than $2K on our wedding and reception. Yes, we had an actual reception, with good food, a dance floor, and a DJ for about 100 guests. Ordering the gown over the internet instead of going to a ripoff bridal boutique helps a lot. So does actually comparison shopping, instead of just seeing something and buying it immediately.

Meanwhile, my sister-in-law spent at least 5K-- excuse me, she ran up over 5K on credit cards, which she never paid off-- and has never been financially stable, even when living rent-free with her husband's uncle. I make several times more than she does, yet she simply had to have a (relatively) fancy wedding and, I presume, hope fairies would fly carrying gold coins to pay for it. And trust me, having a wedding she couldn't afford wasn't the begging or the end of her financial troubles.

Leftists do all they can to criticize suburbanites for causing pollution and consuming resources. Meanwhile, agricultural runoff in rural areas and the mass dumping of chemical waste into the water in the city are causing far greater environmental problems. If the left is going to force us to live in cities, they had better address the issues.
