I also believe that money is fungible. Borrowing money for
a wedding is no different than borrowing money for any other
non-absolutely-necessary expense. A high-end wedding costs the
same as a high-end motor vehicle, last I checked; neither
is a necessity, and each is likely to lose value unless
it's a classic.
