SlowestYfz450 · February 14, 2006, 12:13:18 AM

Well my Fiance went and found her " Perfect dress" on wensday. Went back sunday for fitment, Go back thursday to put a downpayment. Well Stupid me I never asked for the price, I just assumed it would be like 300-500 bucks. WELL I WAS WRONG. Her dress cost so much that the bridal shop gave me a free suit and we either get two free airline tickets anywhere in the US or they will match any Cruise I buy. So if I go out and book a cruise that cost me 750, they'll Match it...... What have I gotten myself into............ I needed to vent

yunt2ride · February 14, 2006, 05:48:55 AM

I would tell them if they can pay for two airlines tickets as a bonus for buying the dress then they could just take off that much money or I would not buy the dress.

P.S. this is only the begining, you can call it off now. LOL

SkyHighT100 · February 14, 2006, 06:14:56 AM

LMAO... thats why you go to places like Davids Bridal. Most of thier dresses are under $1000 and are gorgeous

No free airline tickets needed, lol

Run man run, don't do it. Another end of a beautiful romance. RUN RUN RUN

Chuck_Norris · February 14, 2006, 07:20:21 AM

you think that it is expensive now, just remember it is cheaper to keep her..LOL

dreth · February 14, 2006, 07:28:09 AM

tell her the dress is out of yalls budg............wait a second, I thought it was her parents place to pay for the wedding

if your paying for it i would just say that it is out of yalls budget and if she argues with you then she is not for you. she will always be high maintenence.

Bo322 · February 14, 2006, 07:34:45 AM

Dreth and Chuck_Norris are both right!!

Thing is, you aint stuck yet!!!

At this point in the game it's gonna be cheaper to blaze.

If they want to give you a free vacation for buying a dress............RUN AWAY!!!

LISTEN TO MOOSE!!!!!!!!

I hear ya man! My fiancee's parents are paying for just about everything but somehow I am seeing hundreds flying out of my pockets for stupid stuff and then thousands for the honeymoon. My problem is I like to spoil her. I couldn't settle for just a week long cruise I had to have a fancy hotel(Ritz-Carlton Atlanta) after the wedding and a fancy hotel before the cruise for 2 nights. This whole thing keeps me broke, but its worth it.

Smoknbanshee · February 14, 2006, 09:36:18 AM

dude hate to break it too you, but my fiancee did not buy her dress there, and i got a free tuxedo and the same cruise special. It is a special they are running. We are getting married march 18th. Our wedding is costing app. 15k - 20k, so get your wallet ready. It is not cheap. Oh by the way, where is your location? I would be more than glad to give you some of the information that we did for all the support for the wedding. Oh we are having 200 guest and we have a wedding planner, well worth the money.

Bigscrb15 · February 14, 2006, 09:38:15 AM

Is everyone gettin cruise specials? looks like I got screwed outta that deal somehow, lol.

kawGIRL · February 14, 2006, 11:08:35 AM

I picked a dress from the year prior and got it 1/2 price

This was quite awhile ago, but I sure they still do that sort of thing :dunno.gif No one will know it is from last year.
It was/is beautiful

Joedirt · February 14, 2006, 11:27:10 AM

I have to cut a check this week for 3k for our wedding includes flowers , food, place to have ceremony, music, professional photagrapher..ect , seating for 40 is the only drawback..oh well more money for the Reception :drink.gif

Joedirt · February 14, 2006, 12:04:32 PM

Who ?

yunt2ride · February 14, 2006, 12:36:11 PM

When we got married she went to a local thrift store and she found a dress that someone had started making and did not finish. It was almost comeplete except the vail and a few other spots. She took it to a seamstress and had it finished and it was gorgeous. Her sister bought it from her and she got married in it also. Total $150 and she sold it for almost that used. It may have not costed a lot but was just as nice as any other, especially since we had to pay for everything also.

Smoknbanshee · February 14, 2006, 12:59:16 PM

gotta go to david's bridal or after hours when they are running the cruise special, which is like all the time. We had a cruise given to us as a gift, 10 days in hiawii (however you spell it). Her dress was 1/2 off, the place she got her dress from was closing. I just want all you guys getting married, I do feel your pain with you. I just finished paying off her engagement ring, and we don't even want to get into details about that. can we say, one nice drag bike i could own.

If you think a wedding is expensive, wait until you get a baby. The wedding is a one time thing, but kids are forever. Don't get me wrong, having a family is great, but it ain't cheap, just know what you are getting into.

One piece of advice: if you want anything, buy it before you get married.

Good luck! Best wishes.

You aint kidding there. I told my wife a while back that if we could just get rid of the 3 kids that we could both be driving mercedes and I could also have a 3/4 ton diesel to pull the toys with. Needless to say, I was in the doghouse for a while for that comment.

Want2Ride2 · February 14, 2006, 06:22:24 PM

Like yunt said, I found my wedding dress in a thrift store in parts, paid 25.00 and then had it put together and fitted, it was worth about 800.00 (15 years ago) had beads and a long train, but it was cheap in cost,

Good luck on spending that money, but you better start saving for the kids,lol

Wedding= lots of $$$$$$$
