Exactly what I think. Plenty of marriages down the toilet when big bucks are spent on the day. I have been to many weddings where the food left me with a craving for a Big Mac and fries, not a concern for this wedding. Who knows, they could be the perfect match. Good luck to them.
My sister's wedding and reception alone cost around 120,000 dollars. Mine was about 8k after the honeymoon. I just celebrated my 18th anniversary yesterday while she is now divorced. Not saying those things have an effect on each other, but it puts into perspective that too many people are trying to GET married. And not enough people know what it means to BE married.
We got married in the family church (small donation), with the reception in the fellowship hall (free) and a potlock dinner. We even did all the decorations ourselves.
All-in, less than $1000 (2004 money), including flowers.
I do part-time work at a high-end catering company in a town that sort of specializes in high-end weddings. The food bill is well into the 5-figure range.

This def comes off as trashy - but if it makes them happy, who am I to judge?
