If you have a funny BWM wedding story then by all means go ahead and post it here.

If you have an anecdote about how you cleverly saved money on your thrifty wedding then by all means go ahead and post it elsewhere.

How much should I budget for any additional weddings after the first? It's gotta be like at least 15% less per, right?

Because it's a family tradition and they went to their honeymoon there, do you need any other explanation other than that Disney has successfully commercialized family vacations that are now regarded as a generational tradition to be handed down from parent to child

GWM have a poo poo childhood with parents that never take you on vacations or buy you anything expensive.

Does an alternating queue of strippers and champagne still count towards the final budget if it was on the wedding night but not technically part of the wedding ceremony?

Safe bet is no more than 69% of what you would pay for a marquee, top-tier wedding.

Yes, but once past midnight you can count it as a different event, right? But only if they alternate.

And that they only stole $50k, and only from one person? If everyone is right about how easy it is, wouldn't they have stolen more money / from more people?

The $50k is just from the person that posted about it online.

I’m not commenting on the initial fuckup, but there’s really no way of knowing how much (if any at all) was stolen due to this.

Assuming there was also a shower I would think the before was probably way preferable for any human, male, female, or nonbinary.

I'm betting that the rocks around the tub don't drain into anything and just retain water so what's left of his floor joists can just rot away completely.
