Curious

I am curious. If a bride and groom have the opportunity to make their wedding the most memorable that it could be; take care of their guests in an elegant fashion; and foster great relationships between families and in-laws, why wouldn't they do it? Yet I see couple after couple make selfish decisions concerning their wedding choices.

They prefer to spend hard earned wedding budget dollars on plastic vials of bubbles, monogrammed M&M's and big stretch Hummer Limousines, all the while giving their guests a rose bowl with a single floating candle in the middle of an otherwise bare and obscure reception table while dining on dried out and bland chicken breast with limp green beans and a salad that has seen better hours.

Would you like to be a guest at your own wedding? Couples, if you are going to spend thousands of dollars on your wedding (an yes, you will spend thousands of dollars on your wedding!), don't you want the biggest bang for the buck? I don't care if it is a hoe-down in the middle of a converted barn or set in a posh country club. Take care of your guests and family!!! Otherwise, why are you spending the money? A Justice of the Peace can take care of the marriage legalities for around a $100!
