OK, so I'm not trying to dig into anyone's pockets here, but all I can say is WOWZERS to those who are blessed enough to afford $30,000 or more on your wedding. It's interesting though, earlier I saw someone post about pre-marital counseling and she only got about 6 responses where as this post got over 90. I'll let you make your own assumptions.
