[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 459552, member: 12241"] As someone who eloped herself to tie the knot, coming from a family that would not have contributed to a wedding expense anyways - it seemed the sensible thing to do - I am always mindboggled when I hear about the costs of fancy weddings etc - especially with todays divorce ratings and in todays economy, LOL. I would absolutely refuse to beggar myself or cause myself a financial setback that would take me years [if ever] to overcome to finance a wedding. But then again - I don't have much family either and we are not religious - so a quiet civic wedding, a nice dinner for close friends afterwards, and a honeymoon to remember - is all that would come to mind if my son were to tie the knot. I'd expect for the couple to come up with the majority of the expenses, and me helping out a bit or perhaps paying for their honeymoon. It would also - quite honestly depend on how mature they are and if I feel they have a chance of "making it". Life - if nothing else - has taught me to be practical. [/QUOTE]
