Right? I think if you do the math, we broke even exactly, but that was because my husband's parents were incredibly generous while we were wedding planning. We did not expect that - we were in it for the ice cream bar, the pictures, and you know... our love for each other.

People love to make idiotic statements about weddings as if they're carved-in-stone facts. I'll never forget the time my mother-in-law looked me directly in the eye and stated that "weddings are about the mothers, not about the bride" as if she was informing me that water is wet and the sky is blue.
