Are weddings worth the financial trouble?

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.
