    I once did some work for a wedding planner. He turned out to be a bit of a crook, but that's a whole 'nother story.

    Anyway, one wedding he did, the couple had 40 mature trees imported from Italy and planted on the avenue leading to the venue (a private castle hired for the event) because they thought it looked "a bit dull". Can you just imagine what that cost?

        I know Jane. It is hard to phathom that people would spend that much on a wedding. I guess if you have it to spend that is one thing, but some of those people go there and end up in debt. To think what I could spend that $ on.

          And I thought my wedding was expensive at $60 a plate. Of course, that didn't include the flowers, church, DJ, Band or the like.

            I've seen that show, CRAZY stuff!

            The show that's almost as bad (or is it worse?) is My Super Sweet 16--I can barely imagine spending loads of $$ on a serious life-changing ceremony, let alone some snobby rich girl's 16th birthday party! Am I just cheap? I always think of all the practical things I could be doing with that money, like paying off my college loans, buying a new car, buying new work clothes, etc.

              Urghh, that just seems kind of obscene when people are struggling to get by and put food on the table.

              I've never heard of sweet 16s but that sounds even worse. A party is one thing and quite a cool idea, a consumer orgy is quite another.

                I never got a sweet 16 birthday party. =( I never got a quincenera either, and being Latina, well.. yeah...

                It's okay, though. I make up for it now. I have a party at least once a month and invite all my friends. I just look for something to celebrate and do it! And it usually doesn't cost me much because everyone brings booze! ..which I don't drink anymore!

                      There was a show on TV once with some NYC party planner. He planned a Bar Mitzvah and some famous band, I think it might have been Aerosmith, performed for the party. Doesn't that kind of take away from the significance of the event?
