>record scratch
just learned getting married costs north of 50k
>10k for the ring
>30k average for the wedding
>10k for honeymoon
+ buying a house later on
what????? all that for the less than 50% chance it goes well and even lower chance that she doesnt cheat.
what
Or get yourself a woman who will just go down to the registration office with you and celebrate with a get together of family and friends.
Um noo sweetie, that's only for first world huwhite people
Marriage does not cost more than 10k
>10k for the ring
Dude fuck no. Regular people tend to top out at 5 - 7k. 10k is a SUPER nice ring.
Imagine thinking the government, and not God has control over marriage
>10k ring
just buy a synthetic diamond, they can make them look better than regular anyways
>30k wedding
don't marry a spoiled brat
>10k honeymoon
yea I guess, but if you are giving a woman the power to half your shit and your kids/house 50k is a drop in the bucket really
Imagine being this naive in the modern age.
You are a cuck if you really believe all that. As mentioned above, if the two of you aren't made of money and she's cool (aka someone you want to fucking marry) just get her a nice ring to show you care and are invested and throw a humble marriage get together.
Do not get discouraged or believe the institution isn't worth it. You will 100% be alone if you don't give it your best shot so even if the odds are 50/50 its better than BEING ALONE FOR FUCKING EVER AND BITCHING ON THE INTERNET
If I had 50k for a marriage I would use:
1k for the ring
5k average for the wedding
44k for honeymoon
Would just do a world tour with my honey, won't waste it for somebody else.
this came up in a group conversation and the general consensus was that this was the normal amount. the girls there all expected this and the few guys who said it was outrageous caught flak for it lol
yeah obviously the dream would be a regular ring that means a lot, a small get together with people important to the both of you, and a really nice memorable honeymoon BUT were talking about normie females here bro
its a less than 20% chance that she doesnt cheat! LMAO just imagine. Also, over 1/3 of current fathers aren't the true biological fathers to their "children" JFL!
Fair point, still man just gotta find a girl with similar goals as you who you don't mind fuckin and spending time with. Love and passion will fade after 6 months to a year, gotta make sure the two of you can tolerate each other and respect each others goals. Thats what this shit is really about, teams of men and women that add something to the other
Although love at the end of the day is really just a respect and understanding of a person who you would put their wellbeing at the same of, if not ahead of your own. It is not infatuation.
If someone unironically demands a $10,000 ring on the threat of dumping you they arent worth the time of day. Unfortunately far too many men are too pussy whipped to tell them to get real and that they arent a Disney princess or some other retarded shit. Honestly it is incomprehensibly retarded that so much focus is put onto such arbitrary bullshit when the money would be much better spent towards getting a house or fund for potential children or whatever. But fuck using your brain I suppose. Wonder who started such a scheme in the first place.
If Brendan Fraser is anything to go by then being alone is a preferable alternative to having your entire livelihood and future completely destroyed by some piece of walking Arbys roast beef. There are billions of other choices to get, odds are they arent anything special.
Christ that sounds miserable. Remind me to never get a guy like you lol.
It doesn't have to.
I let her pick the ring with a limit of $2,000.
Our wedding cost about $4,500 out of pocket but we got all of that back plus some via cash and gifts from our registry.
Haven't done a honeymoon yet but we likely will spend over 10k on a trip abroad.
what kind of wedding did you have?
howd you guys meet?
how long have you been together?
We got married at a resort on the beach, around 80 people. Our biggest expenses were the venue + food and her dress.
We met online.
We dated and then lived together for about 3 years, been married for another 2 now.
It doesn't cost that much if you aren't a brainlet. It's almost like a wedding can cost however much you want to spend.
>r9k roast having any standards
yikes!
Uhh, what
Got married to some bitch and I signed documents, then we went and traveled a bit. She's from another country so no family here, and I only talk to my mom and brother in my family. Our wedding celebration would be like 2 people.
50k is some stupid normie upper class bullshit
Lol, imagine being such a fucking faggot that you are willing to marry a woman who needs to spend tens of thousands on a wedding AND needs a $10k ring.
That's for the upper middle class. Most people I know just go down to the court house and sign some papers.
My dad was a goldsmith and if wedding rings cost that much he would have made a lot more money.
