    Hell…skip the whole weird church and contract junk and just don’t get married. Save the money completely. Have a BBQ with friends. Marriage does nothing but waste money

      Or get married at a courthouse for the tax breaks without all the overpriced bullshit of a “traditional” wedding

        People usually still get rings at those.

      I agree on the whole, but marriage was something from life I wanted to experience. Treating my friends and family to a great party was worth it. Although, mine was probably ten times cheaper than most.

        i mean you can have parties for basically free, the point is that the standard wedding is made to milk people for money.

        if you want a wedding just hit up a catering company and head to some park or something, and get a second hand wedding dress or just a reasonable normal dress.
