It seems to be the "wave" in weddings. Nice wedding, HUGE FREAKING
reception. Wedding budget far exceeding that of a nice downpayment on a
house. I fear I don't understand that kind of overspending for one day. My
wedding seven years ago was nice, everyone had a good time, and not a single
pennies worth of debt for the whole day. When you have to take out a loan to
pay for it all somethings wrong. IMHO anyway.
