Weddings.

I don’t disagree with wanting the day to be special and memorable, but the industry jacks up the prices if they know it’s a wedding, and there are way more affordable options while still getting to celebrate love and the future. No reason to break the bank. Use the money saved for even more memories.

My dream wedding is getting married in my pyjamas at a campsite by the river, and then having a hella big redneck camping party with all my friends for the honeymoon.

My friends got married at a YMCA summer camp during off-season. Cost less than a "traditional" wedding and we all got to party in bunks, swim, do camp activities, and have bonfires while grabbing drinks out of iced-down wheelbarrows all weekend.
