the perfect wedding.

no worries.  i don't have my wedding planned.

...but, my mom and i have been watching a lot of wedding shows.  one of the shows is called platinum weddings.  these people are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on their wedding.  don't get me wrong, if this is how you choose to spend your money, more power to you.  but, i sit there thinking, "i could buy myself a new car and make a down payment on a house with that kind of money!"

i wonder...

is it really necessary to spend that much money on your wedding?  are you going to remember every last detail? maybe.  but crystals in your bouquet?  gold on your wedding cake?  a personal fireworks show?  i just sit here in shock at the amounts of money people are dropping for these excessive additions to their wedding.

give me a dress, some flowers, food, and a camera.  we're good to go.

...oh, and a groom might be nice too! :)
