Our daughter is getting engaged & is looking for us to foot the bill. $$$$$$ [View all]
She's 28, lives in Baltimore, grew up here in the NE suburbs of Atlanta where we still live, along w/ the extended family. Her fiance is from Naples. They met at FSU in Tallahassee. His grandmother lives in Miami & can't travel so they want to have the wedding in Miami (forget the fact my mom is the same age - 93). It's also close to all his family.
She said they haven't done any research yet but want to invite 125 people, have a sit down dinner w/ a live band, & an after party. After having a stroke I told her we could pay about $20,000'ish.
My husband & I got married 33 years ago in our mid 20's & paid for it ourselves. When we got to the honeymoon we were like, "why the fuck did we go through all that!"
We told her that money would be a great down payment on a house.
Anyone pay for a wedding lately? The last 2 we've been to were barn weddings & they were lovely. I have no idea what weddings cost.
