Heh. You women pay thousands for a dress on your special day, while us men pay $100 to rent a tux for the exact same purpose.
See, this is my feeling about it!
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My mother spent $1000 on my dress. Admittedly, nuts, but we shopped in our small town. I looked like a big merengue but it flattered my figure.
I think we spent $1000 on flowers, too. And $1000 on the photographer. I think those were the biggest expenses besides hotel rooms and incidentals. DH's folks paid for the reception and they made all the food and got the booze at wholesale.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So much to do tonight.
Get food, get paper goods, bake cupcakes, wash and vacuum car, do laundry, pack stuff, give myself a facial and pedicure.

You know, honestly, if you can afford it and you like it? I'm cool with spending lots. But I don't think you should have to spend lots, and certainly you shouldn't force the people you've flattered with the invitation to be in your ceremony to spend lots. So that's my thing.

It must be a sign of the apocalypse, but I knew Gap.com was down and am slightly annoyed by it. The website had a velvet jacket I was considering.
