Default Weddings/durability.....

Blademaker's thread got me thinking....

and so how many times you guys/gals married, and rough guess how much money spent on the whole scene???

time frames and rough locations of course add into it.....

and where are you now?? relative to all of it, over the years.....

Once. 12 years and counting. About $1500 if you include the rings and gift to the pastor. Just ten guests in BIL's back yard on the Chesapeake bay. Lovely day.

Once only. 1990 and about $4800 total to include the dress. 65 or so guests at a posh local hotel. Still the best move I have made so far in my 56 years.

One time, 47 years ago, $15.00 for the Justice of the Peace, couple of bucks for a six pack of Coors beer! Best investment I ever made.

1st wedding I'd like to forget, but can't. The cost was < $1000 and lasted less than 5 years.

2nd wedding cost < $10,000 and has lasted just over 2 months. So far. Since Laurie plays for keeps, I'm thinking we'll hit at least 3 months.
