1979 Wedding Vs 2008
I was talking with my parents and they said their ENTIRE wedding cost $1200
no wonder they keep getting grouchy on how much mine is costing!I should really scan their wedding photos. My mom's dress was a beautiful timeless piece but my dad rocked the classy all white tux and handlebar mustache, and the groomsmen- tan and toupe a la There's Something about Mary LOL

I know, it's disgusting. In 1984 my parent's wedding I think was like 5000 total if that. That's only my photo/video, and maybe all stationary products if that.
I swear I'm in the wrong line of work.

I think my mom said their whole wedding was 2k and they got married at St Peters in Port Washington and their RH was the THATCHED COTTAGE! LOL
And they had like 200 people!
People keep asking me if i'm bringing my mom dress shopping, i'm like ummmm I don't wanna give her a heart attack in the store when she sees how much dresses cost!
