Just buy her a house and give her all of your money and call it a day.
Save your money!!!!! Go somewhere nice just the two of you and tell everyone about it when you get home.
Good luck!!:beer
Why are you even involved? Let her have her wedding and you just need to show up.:beer
The only thing I did was choose the cake flavor.

This is starting to get good now. I asked my mom to make a list of the family that she'd like to be there. That alone is now at around 150 people. Hell some of them I haven't even seen in over 10 years. Combined with my g/f and mines list it makes over 200 people now. My checkbook just caught on fire. :swear:swear
My mom did the same thing. You need... actually you MUST put a limit to the amount of people she may invite or the list will be stupid like the one she gave you.
We had just above 250 at our wedding and my mom was allowed to invite 75, her first list was close to 200. At $80/person it added up way too fast. After seeing the cost, I told my mom and her list to pound sand.

I'm letting her think (for the moment) that she can organize all this. She'll actually set a lot of this up. Then I'm gonna come in and chop her list up. I ain't inviting family that I haven't seen in 10 years. I know that'll chop close to 20 or 30 off the list. Plus that'll leave more room for my friends.
Rule of thumb for your friends... The gift should be equal to what the dinner for the 2 will cost.
My fockin' aunt/uncle and their 5 kids came. Total bill was around $500 and I got a set of glasses that were $40.
An old neighbor of my wife's brought their 4 kids for a total of 6 and they gave us a pair $10 salt/pepper shakers. WTF!!! It isn't about getting a gift, dont make me out to be this greedy dick, but I have seen those people a total of 1 time over the past 7 years after the wedding. That is the crap that pisses me off. Actually it doesn't piss me off becuase seeing them more would actually suck.
"Oh well, I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding to cherish for the rest of their lives.":lmao
That's the funniest thing I read all week.lol Don't be an ostrich, do the $25. wedding chapel thing and sock the money in a secrete place that she doesn't know about. DO NOT co-mingle your house, have it appraised for the highest amount before the marriage, keep your playtoys in your name, put a gunsafe in your folks home and keep your valuables, guns, etc., there. Need I tell you not to give her the combo?:rules
Trust me, you'll thank me later.

Thats why I'm only inviting rich/generous people to our wedding.

Sunday work's for this married guy:beer
Geez Rio, recen, bitter divorce????? But I do agree, keep it simple and keep the money for more important long term purchases.
Actually about 8 years ago. Not bitter at all. I got everything, she got nothing except what she came into the marriage with,( a bedroom set) and she even paid her own moving costs when she left.(my home, toys,business,etc.) I planned ahead completely and never let my emotions rule my better judgement. She had an attorney and I had ME. The attorney was out-gunned before he even started. Seriously, he musta flunked law school as I even got sole custody of our dog.

Good Luck. I got married this past June in Vegas. We rented a Terrace Suite (2 story suite with large outdoor balcony) at the MGM Grand ($1300 a night), sent out e-vites, went to Costco and bought all the booze/appetizers/flowers (about $700), took cupcakes as the cake (mother-in-law bought those), had a friend be the photographer (free), had another friend get ordained as a minister over the internet to perform the ceremony ($30), took an ipod connected to a few speakers for the sounds. Invited 80 of our closest friends and had a blast. Then went on our honeymoon and spent $25g's in about a month living like a king in an over the water bungalow in the Maldives.
Second wedding for the both of us. Just something to think about for the next one.
:beer to your wedding!
