ndirish1978 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I can't imagine this works well unless the wife is as big as, or a bigger football fan than the husband. Anyone pushing this on some poor girl who wanted a nice quiet ceremony is dooming the relationship before it starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I proposed at a 4th of July fireworks display. I figure that way, not only would my girl associate our romance with fireworks, but I would never forget the date I proposed. It worked!

How does getting married change your spending pattern? On the wedding? The wife is the spender? Not being critical, just not clear about the point. My son will be engaged before too long, I think, and it’s an interesting story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Just now, Boca BIlls said: Wedding and divorce The priest at my sister’s wedding focused the ceremony on how most marriages end in divorce. It was appalling! They have been married 40+ years now. My son’s GF is a young lady we adore! She used to be a wedding planner (now in group sales for a YUGE hotel in downtown Atlanta). She used to do 300+ weddings a year. Crazy Big Azz weddings! She wants something MUCH smaller. Can’t see spending the money on a party for one night when you could put a down payment on a house with the same cash. Love her practical view! Unfortunately, we did a quick list of just our immediate family, and it was a pretty big number. Her family, as one of SIX daughters, is much larger. Her parents gave her a budget, and we’re willing to throw money at it, so it will be interesting to see. They can elope and keep the cash, for all I care. I’d like to be present at some form of ceremony. Take your time, and marry wisely. I was an idiot, and just got lucky. I won’t judge at all on divorce. It happens with very good people, and I won’t harp on it the way my sister’s priest did at her wedding. (That was AWFUL!) Look to the bright side, and try to make it come true. Also, consider that a good wife can also be a very good earner. In my case, far better than I could ever have dreamed of personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She worked for a wedding planner as a weekend gig, and she doesn’t want all the traditional American middle class hoopla. My brother in law had a a pig roast in the back yard for his reception, which I think is a great idea, but I don’t think that will happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being critical, just not clear about the point. My son will be engaged before too long, I think, and it’s an interesting story. For a man, marriage is generally a huge financial burden. And if you want to get out of it, it's financially fatal to most. NYS isn't a common law state, so it's best to have a live-in GF vs. a wife. You can get out of a bad situation with a lot less financial loss. It's just common sense economics. Just don't introduce any children into the dynamic. Now, if your goal is to raise a family, you really should get married, but you have to really think about giving your life away, because that's essentially what you're doing. Your wife and kids' lives and finances will ALWAYS come before your own, that's what's expected of you as a married man in today's culture. You are perpetually in last place when married with children. Some men can live like this, many cannot. It's much easier for women. They just need to find a man who brings in a decent salary, get pregnant, and they own his finances for 26 years, don't have to hold a job, don't have to get married, and can use the legal system to keep the father of their child away from them, AND get money from him. That's like the best deal you can get in modern western culture when it comes to free money. Edited June 18, 2019 by MacGyver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
