The groom was pretty important to me.
I bought my wedding dress from an online site, without trying it on first, and declared it good enough. But that's just me.
I worried more about the location and comfort of my guests, because the age range was about 2 to 80, and I made them schlep a long way to see me married.
am I really supposed to believe that?
Yeah, I blinked at that as well. If that's true, it seems like bad news for the groom.
Any bride would agree that her dress is the most important thing on her wedding day
Pffft. It's all about the cake.
And I guess the groom is important, too.
I know Buffista brides are probably not the norm, but am I really supposed to believe that?
I think the marriage industrial complex would like people to believe that.
The wedding dress in the most recent wedding I attended was bought off of eBay for $40.

1. Groom
2. Food
3. Weather
Hey to be fair to her, on average the groom will only be around for about 9-10 years. That wedding dress could be in her closet or storage for the rest of her life.
Apart from the groom and the love stuff, I'd think the dress is pretty high up there.
Of all the things you drop dough on -- the flowers, food, cake, attendants clothes, etc. it seems like the gown or the photos would be #1.

I've never been to a wedding where the attendents clothes were paid for by the couple/couple's family.
ETA: One of the many reasons being a bridesmaid sucks.
I don't look for trenchant observations on life experience from luxurylaunches.com, so I'm guessing Bridal Mileage May Vary.

The food at my wedding was over 10x as much as the gown or photos. Again, BMMV.

I have.
But you make a fair point. I probably should have said "that dough is dropped on".
The weather you can't really control so there's little point in worrying. Of the entirely too many weddings I've been too the food was memorable at precisely two. People go BANANAS picking out favors and other than my Aunt and Uncle who are nurses giving us stethoscopes I couldn't tell ya. The flowers and cakes are a blur and people drop major ch-ching on those as well. Nobody cares about the limo by the next day.
A beautiful and comfy (that term being relative if formalwear is involved) bride seems pretty high on the list. I'd still rank photos higher though -- it can be pretty sad if something goes wrong and you end up photo-deprived.
