Are weddings worth the financial trouble?

Over $10k for ONE DAY.

As a side note, I am invited to a wedding within my social group and am allowed 1 guest. Obviously, being someone who posts on Jow Forums, I don't have any female prospects. Would it be weird to go alone?

it's always wierd to go somewhere alone above 25. buy an escort

you don't even need to do this, women love weddings you can literally just ask a random chick off the street to go with you and she'll probably say yes

got me, i know shit about women

Weddings used to be a party where rich people would blow a ton of dough just to show off how much money they had. Then "greatest generation" faggots started doing it to show off all the money they got for dooming western civilization by fighting for ZOG. At most make a fancy meal that takes a long time to make like authentic mole.

No. You can live together and love each other without spending thousands on one day where you partake in some bs ceremony where you tell everyone you are going to do just that whilst exchanging metal rings. It's entirely pointless

>Would it be weird to go alone?
If you're the only single person in your group going to the wedding then the answer is yes. Otherwise, no, it won't be weird.

I've been at 2 of these expensive weddings

First one about 30k usd
Second one about 15k plus 12k wedding ring

In both cases, it was clearly the female who was dominating the relationship, cucking the men financially even before being married.

Mostly I was enraged by the priest. Talking down at the groom, how imperfect he is and how thankful he should be for getting such an angel as wife. The priest never told the woman to be thankful. Not even once.

I will be a month short of 26.

I asked a random girl to prom and it was a terrible decision.

u can go with me :D

The priest is probably an incel horny cunt. If he had to fork out 15k + 12k for a rock tied by metal he'd think differently.

its the sweet memory that counts user. I know how pointless it'll all be in a few years, but its the hope of it lasting that keeps the tradition alive. Otherwise reality is pretty bleak.

lmao Put that $30k into ETH and BTC today. Retire in a couple of years, dont have to wagecuck, be free without naggy bitches around you

What scares me most about weddings is that women expect it and have a feeling they're using me to achieve their dreams. I don't know how to enter a relationship when ultimately they will want a wedding down the line. And it's not even the cost of the wedding itself, but that once you tied the knot, the woman makes all the rules. Suddenly no reason to put in effort when she can divorce rape you out of revenge.

Apparently, parents paying for the wedding is a thing. I overheard a boomer at work saying his daughter's getting married and being happy, but complaining how much the wedding costs (over $20,000). Everyone in that conversation nodded along as if it were normal. Anyone think I can get half that much money out of my parents as a "thank you for not asking us to pay for your courthouse marriage" gift?

lol, is that ben shapero? kyke niggers

Modern churches are pathetic.

To make it Jow Forums related, being married is like entering a business deal where you came up with the product idea and made all the initial financial investments, but your partner will own majority of the shares of the company and they can boot you out at any point. All they will bring to the table is general tax cuts and social media management, while you pay for the daily everyday business operation out of your own pocket. Why would you willingly enter a deal like that if not for being desperate?

here you go OP, watch:

>Mostly I was enraged by the priest. Talking down at the groom, how imperfect he is and how thankful he should be for getting such an angel as wife

That would make me snap. I can imagine myself in that situation turning off the microphone and telling the priest he better start saying nice things about me or we'll do the wedding without him because all he is to me is a notary in fancy clothes. But, then again, I'm not cucked enough to go that far with an extravagant wedding to begin with.

Go solo, weddings can be a pretty good pickup spot.

whats the point of memory if you don't even bother to look back? its no different than those people who go on overseas trips and did nothing but get blank out drunk to not remember a thing and take billions of photos they'll never look at again

might as well just sleep it off for the same final result

I've been to two weddings. The first one was just like you describe, except the priest mostly directed his scorn at the woman with heavy messages about avoiding the temptation of being a whore.
The second one was on a small farm owned by the bride's uncle or some shit, just a big tent for the guests and the ceremony was done up on a hill overlooking the place. That was a nice one.

The tent one sounds nice, there are tons of cheap ways to throw a big party and not pay some Jew his bag of gold for bad DJ songs and food. Just be creative.

it is more like a hostile takeover of a growing business with increasing profitability by a former well capitalised company which has been making cash burning losses every year with rapidly depreciating assets and ever increasing loan to value ratio

the growing business can avoid the takeover by refusing the other company's offer of asset for shares exchange and do due diligence on the value of those assets

but for most CEOs the existing cash value of the asset of the other company is enticing enough likely due to masking by using creative accounting

or the CEO fails to take into account that the takeover may be funded by liabilities which makes the deal look more appealing than it is

>it is more like a hostile takeover of a growing business with increasing profitability by a former well capitalised company which has been making cash burning losses every year with rapidly depreciating assets and ever increasing loan to value ratio
Kek, wish I knew about traditional business enough to have written this instead.

>$1000’s for a dress, $1000’s for food, venue and all that trash.
LOL if you think these are actual figures.

>All they will bring to the table is general tax cuts and social media management
You won't have to pay for hookers or risk getting STDs plus you can raw dog it.

you can do the same with girlfriends without all the additional expenses, just dump them when they start hinting at marriage

wife = girlfriend + huge liability + huge risk

don't listen to this guy , it doesn't matter if you go anywhere alone, go to a restaurant alone, go to a movie theatre alone, go to a wedding alone, who cares? just be happy with yourself and comfortable in your own skin, don't let the judgement of society dictate how you live.

i've been to a wedding alone before, it was no big deal, it's just like a party where you get free food and drinks, socialize a bit, and leave, everyone's too preoccupied with the event, and mainly focused on the bride/groom that they literally don't give a shit what you're doing or who you're with. At most you get some weirdo ask if you're there alone, you say yup, they nod, end of story, and at best there are some single women there you can talk to.

>Over $10k for ONE DAY.
a dumb meme by vile greedy religion jews for dumb roasties to feel special
i always hated weddings, what a waste they are, nothing holy about them, meaningless, cheaters and traitors gonna cheat and betray anyway

Wedding is socially acceptable expense, you get to create once in a lifetime memory, and you have chance to gather all your loved ones together.

Plus being married is a lifetime interview for the man. It is important to make a good first impression by throwing a good wedding.

I hate marriages.

Useless materialistic ceremony. Full of social pressure.

Fuck this shit, husband are cucks.

You can have 12 children without marrying once.

Am I the only fucker who has unironically been married?

Ceremony was small, like 20 guests, had reception in a 17thC palace. Got divorced 3 years later.

Total bill was not that expensive.

It depends on the wedding. My cousin had her wedding at the Bentley reserve in SF and I can tell you it was around $60-100k for everything.

I think the “woman making all the rules” is mostly a meme. I guess if one Marrys a girl who is stuck up and thinks too highly of herself then I can see where that happens. It’s all about who you chose to marry imo. For example my gf is submissive and knows her place. I don’t say that ina way like I’m a super chad or something but I treat her right, she treats me right and I wear the pants. It all comes down to how you assert your dominance desu. I’m not talking about being abusive or making them scared of you. Just referring to being a man and taking care of the pride. I guess it just boils down to psychology and how you get in their head and if you manage to then it will be mostly smooth sailing. If a girl dreams of a huge expensive wedding that isn’t affordable then I see things only getting worse down the line in the marriage. Materialism is a huge red flag and will destroy you if shit hits the fan at whatever point. I always suggest finding a girl who owns 0 designer clothes/bags and doesn’t come from a prick family.

The death of religion means instead of just going to the church and inviting your family now you have to rent some fancy venue and pay for a bunch of stupid shit like a DJ

>Materialism is a huge red flag

This, a quality wife will want to save money for a downpayment on a house or some other investment

>For example my gf is submissive and knows her place. I don’t say that ina way like I’m a super chad or something but I treat her right, she treats me right and I wear the pants. It all comes down to how you assert your dominance desu.
That's the thing. Lots of women will pretend to be whatever you wish them to be until the ring is on their finger. Have you read the Dead Bedrooms subreddit? Full with people where the girl would have all sorts of sex with them, get married, and suddenly sex dries up and they're happy to get a blowjob once a month. Before you get married, there is the dread that if you're not satisfied, you will leave them. Now once you're married, your only power as a man, leaving for greener pastures if you're not happy, is gone. If you leave when you're married, you're taking a 50% cut on all your assets.

Yeah I can see what you mean. My situation might be a lil different since I’ve been with her since I was 17 and am now almost 30. I personally don’t want to get married having come from a family where my mom and dad divorced when I was 10. It’s instilled in me that marriage doesn’t do anything, it doesn’t keep people together, it just makes it harder for them to break apart when the time comes. In a perfect world people would be with people because they want to, not because they’re bound by law to be. It’s a fucked up game desu.

Lmao
>2019
>actually having a wedding

My wife and I spontaneously got married in Hawaii. We gave family members a two week notice and immediately booked the trip.

>tfw only her mom, dad and sister showed up because they were able to fly themselves out
>altogether wife and I spent $5k for everything
>stayed at a nice ass resort on the beach
>airfare covered by mileage points
>mfw her dad gave us a $5k check as a wedding present

Meanwhile my sister is pulling out loans for her wedding lmao

I should add that my family wasn’t too happy about this whole ordeal. In the end, it’s not about their happiness, it’s about yours.

They’re literally falling apart and shitting bricks right now as they try to get my sisters wedding in order. Thousands being spent. Meanwhile, my wife and I are tfw too intelligent and are just watching them

sounds like hell

I think my wedding cost around $4500, we got about $3200 in gifts from relatives, so we spent around $1300. People thanked us for not having a DJ.

T. Working class poorfag but still married

>plus you can raw dog it.

humm sweetie, i have bad news

>Meanwhile my sister is pulling out loans for her wedding lmao
Holy fucking shit

>Obviously, being someone who posts on Jow Forums, I don't have any female prospects.
Just bring your boyfriend. It's 2019. It's ok to be gay in public.

Loans for a wedding fuckin hell lol. Worse than financing a car

That's tough, i hope you are fine now

>Got divorced 3 years later.
oof

>My situation might be a lil different since I’ve been with her since I was 17 and am now almost 30.
Your marriage would have a hell of a lot better chance of surviving than most couple's. You won the game of romance. Chances are she genuinely would want to make you happy even in marriage. Unlike a 27 year old girl on the prowl for the next step in her social life without any regard for whether they actually like the man or just what he can provide (married life).

Autism

It's kinda shit. People jumping outta planes and getting married in white castles is just uh, I dunno stupid and lame as hell. Blowing 20k or more just to stand in front of your family/close friends and some priest just to let them all know "hey we love each other and want to be with each other forever" just to wind up in a few years broke and divorced (broke cause she took half your shit and the lawyers/court costs took the other half)

You can have a nice wedding but not blow a shit load of money on it. We did. When me and my wife got married it was small (just close family). We did it at home.

Let's go :-)

This “type” of woman does not exist

Yeah that’s some good insight. I think the way things usually work is people fuck around and have fun in their 20’s and time really starts flying and next thing you know you’re almost 30. Then life’s pressures and society make you think you need to get married already and settle down. Then most end up settling with whatever they think they’re happy with at the moment. Then they really get to know the person and realize they made a mistake and by that time they have kids, shared mortgages, etc. it took me about 8 years to realize I was content with what I had. There’s pros and cons with everything though as you know

>We did it at home.
we rented out a restaurant. Way cheaper than a hall or country club.

>People thanked us for not having a DJ
kek - you do get good DJs, not very often tho, admittedly.

lol 3D

>10k
oh boy user, i got news for you

dont listen to this guy or you will stay alone your whole life. you will be the wierdo and women give a fuck about wierdos.

but you are implying that we give a fuck about woman thinking we are weirdos. Just do what you want, I go places alone all the time but I also go out with friends or family. Sometimes I just prefer to be alone, and I do not give a fuck who likes it.

my girlfriend's colleague going to spend 30k EURO on her weeding, when she makes something like 900€ / month.

that's a real gottem

>giving a fuck about what women think
you'll either stay alone or become a cuck with that thought

Literally got the down payment on my house as a gift from my parents in exchange for a courthouse wedding. No regrets.

Unless you’re driving a 100k car and have 20 million in the bank

What country?

well shit im 30 now

can't you just be happy for yourself

Absolutely fucking not.
>Spent $40 for courthouse marriage
>tfw no irl friend, only immediate family came
>I dont give a fuck, she isn't high maintenance so was chill about it
>still married 4 years later
t. 30 yr old boomer

this

>You won't have to pay for hookers
you're still expected to pay for all of her shit, which is arguably more expensive

this. ppl and too worried about what other ppl think.life is short. make the best use of it and enjoy what you like, dont get pressured by peers

>$10k
Topkek. That's a poverty-tier wedding. Most of the people I know who got married blew $50-100k easily.

I went alone to like two weddings lol.

I have two potential weddings coming up in the next few years.

One in portugal, fuck that am i getting on a plane
the other probably in uk.
Unless I find a grill quick ill be going to both alone :(((((((((((

Based

> go alone
> show up with an obvious escort to your friends wedding
> Gee user great advice, I wonder which choice people would judge him more for.

Just go alone dude, no one cares. Showing up with an escort would be awful.

I got married last year.....it cost 7k British pounds. We only had 26 guests. But it was a good day.

My younger cousin, on the other hand got married last month. A fucking eye watering 52k British Pounds were spent on his day. Absolute fucking lunacy.

>brings rnd hooker
yeah, grills have a tendency to clock these things. In 2 minutes, max. Then, be utterly merciless the next 4 hours. You really don't want to be digging yourself this hole, you'd get less grief showing up alone, nude, high on PCP and biting the mother of the bride.
