Considering the insane amounts of money spent on these “dream weddings”, it’s no surprise the needle goes up to crazy pretty quick. Rich people spending stupid cash on monster weddings is one thing, but watching working-class kids go $50k into hock over a wedding that won’t last 5 years (see: Every High School
