I was pleased with my wedding (hiking shorts and boots, JP, no witnesses) but Kathleen and Eric’s wedding beat everyone else’s for both style and simplicity.

Hats off!

25 stone and 3,ooo crystals. Bloody ell!!!
Trying to keep up with Jordan a page 3 girl.
How ridiculous can you get. My first wedding cost hardly nothing at all. My 2nd wedding was under $750 I think. The most expensive thing was the license. I flew into the country to late. If I had come a week earlier the license would have been cheaper. We got married in London at the register’s office. You have to have been going to a church for years in the UK to get married in one. It was the register’s office for us. It was very nice anyhow. I got married the first time in a church and the marriage did not work out. This marriage is doing very well.
I love the Vercua Salt comment, so true. LOL
It sounds like she needed the oompa-loompas to carry her out of church.

My Dad always used to refer to this as “more money than brains”. In this case I’d say that goes for her parents!

Insane.

My parents offered me $1000 to elope. I opted to have a cheap wedding at home. With my mother sewing my dress and friends helping with a BBQ style reception, our wedding cost us a grand total of $400.

As far as insisting on certain dress features, I mistakenly chose pearl buttons up the front of my dress. Talk about wardrobe malfunction! I kept popping out of my dress! So mom sewed me into my dress and gave my groom a seam ripper as a wedding gift. LOL!

1) (If I’m Daddy): Who is Jordan?
2) (If I’m anyone with an IQ above room temperature) Why is it important to have a wedding bigger than hers?
3) Me & K: Was Daddy willing to pay this much just to get Miss High Maintenance off his hands?
4) Just me: Did he sweeten the pot to get hubby to take her? Did he incentivize the deal to get him to keep her (are there vesting requirements in the dowry)?

Wow! This is an extreme case. I must say I’m guilty of this. I once was obsessed with Leonardo Dicaprio (not dangerously so lol). I use to dress like him. This was in 1995. I would copy his outfits, bleached my hair and kept it like his, I wore the campus adidias shoes he wore. Some said during the time when I was at my worst my face began to look like his. I think I mentally changed the structure of my face on a molecular level. lol But that whole thing faded. I was obsessed when I was a small kid with Michael Jackson back in the 80s too. Didn’t have the resources to dress like him but I did collect memorabilia. Andy Warhol too and he was dead. I get these crushes/obsessions with famous people and they inspire me. Pathology? Maybe, but I don’t know what I would do without them. In many ways they keep me sane.

The saddest part of this story is that the girl apparently has no idea what a wedding is all about. This is why children should not be allowed to get married.

I wondered how much a stone weighed. 14lbs is a pretty heavy stone!
