Daughter getting hitched

[Backwards Kid's Mom]

1. Congrats to your daughter and future SIL.
2. Women are crazy ridiculous when it comes to weddings.
3. Another reason I thank the good Lord above that we have all boys. BBQ or fish fry rehearsal dinner and BAM, we are done! Lol

My wife and I got married in Jamaica a few years ago at an all inclusive resort. The resrot and air fare was $3000. We had a ceremony on the beach, so no expensive gowns or tux to pay for. We had to pay $250 for the minister fees and marriage license. The provided everything for our reception and all of our guests, we had 14 other peopel with us that week. The rest was included in our package. So we got a wedding and honeymoon in the tropics for less the $4000 total.

My suggestion......give your daughter a check NOW.....that is the budget.

Reception is close to $8-9k for drinks, food, and Petroleum Club. And flowers are a few grand. Pictures are like $1500-2000. Crazy! Glad I aint gotta pay for it.

Buddy, if the reception is at the Petroleum Club, you ain't got nothing to worry about for anything else listed!!!!! It cost me big bucks to go there for work meetings and I hate the place!!
