"It's hard to predict the future" is a shockingly normal statement from the Fed guy. Usually they're like "I'm going to pull exactly these levers and the economy will react perfectly in the predicted manner."

Never met a fellow boomer who had a "destination wedding" or "destination bachelor/bachelorette parties" nor used a wedding planner or makeup crews or monogrammed bathrobes for the gals getting made up but then again most of my friends had hippie weddings. The fanciest one I remember had a rehearsal dinner at the chicago athletic club but was a civil ceremony at a hotel the next day with 50 guests. My mom's generation was adamant about the miss manners/emily post etiquette rules on never asking for money, or anything else ("you're telling a guest that you expect a gift"), from wedding guests & they pounded that poo poo into our gen. You could use a gift registry without facing the Wrath of Moms but you only named the store if guests asked, and you never put it on an invite. If parents of a couple paid toward a house downpayment or something as a wedding gift it was bc they could afford it & they did it privately & quietly. I expected my mom's nearby ashes to come flying out of the urn while I was reading some of the above posts.

Only a couple of the people I know who got married had weddings with invitations and I think only one did a gift registry thing and they were already pretty well off almost everyone I know just had a casual wedding or little civil thing with like 0-10 people

My wife and I paid for our wedding ourselves. It was 300 people and cost the amount of a nice car but it was before the pandemic and a destination wedding. We had it in an amazing location and got to go all out for a fraction of what it would cost here. Weddings in the U.S. are way overpriced and you pay for crap. My in-laws are broke, blew their savings on my idiot SIL’s first wedding (ended in divorce in less than a year) and my parents didn’t have much money back then. I didn’t want to ask them for help and put them out. My parents are way better off than us now and able to help us out with things as needed and take care of themselves as they age. Huge stress relief off us and hopefully we can retire earlier than expected. If my kids want a big wedding, I’d throw it for them and let them decide what to do. I’d just suggest having it as a destination wedding so it’s more memorable and affordable.

My mom got real mad when my wife and I had a 50 person wedding and refused to budge on inviting a bunch of relatives we've never met. She also keeps insisting I talk to my brother who molested me as a child, so you can see where her priorities are at.

Mine's at an all-inclusive venue and we're paying less than pretty much everyone we know who had a wedding of a comparable size, even the ones who didn't get a venue and planned it all themselves.

skooma512 posted:My parents do. They throw shade at my choice of partner, and would probably no matter who she is, because she is having us move away from them for work and my parents expect me to be their personal aide at their house, with no flexibility. My dad explicitly says I owe it to them and that he feels “shortchanged”. They are also not contributing to the wedding and thinks we shouldn’t even do it since the price is greater than signing paperwork at the courthouse. I feel like I could have written this post myself. Dear heavens. I'm sorry that these things happened to you. skooma512 posted:https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/18/pfizer-to-price-covid-drug-paxlovid-at-1390-per-course-.html God help me, I'm still wearing my VFlex around town but the knowledge that the backstop drug in case I gently caress up is now unaffordable is.... really grim.

"my parents made me have a big wedding" "my parents wouldn't pay for a big wedding bc they wanted us to go to the courthouse" Maybe decide on & fund the weddings you want to have?

We are funding it comfortably, but it really sucks when your parents poo poo on anything you do and openly dislike that you have a relationship because it’s distracting from serving them.

yes you can just ignore their opinions, but it took me a good 6 years to adopt a mindset that is actually comfortable with doing so it's loving tough, I feel like people are really wired to want understanding and approval from their parents

I left an abusive family when I was 17 & supported myself thereafter but I'm ngl it caused me to miss out on a lot of stuff like parental funding for college or help buying a home, stuff my non-abused siblings received. eta: understanding, love & approval would've been nice, too.

being married is cool but having a wedding really sucked. one of the more stressful times of our lives. I would have been happy with some kind of mail-in certificate or something but there was a good portion of familial expectation at what to do. we went as small as we could get away with given their expectations and it was still easily five figures. anyway I don’t miss it. will get married in a garbage can next time
