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

1200 isnt even a deposit on a hall

LOL my mom's ring was $150!!!!!!!! I can't get ANYTHING associated with this wedding for 150 bucks!

seriously! they had a nice wedding too! it was at a hall and everything, had limos, sit down dinner.... and my mom had a beautiful cascading bok.... I know prices have gone up in everything but they really overcharge so much

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.
