Women are stupid in some ways, they'd rather have one big day than enough for the downpayment on a house for the rest of their future.
most
a few have some sense
i was talking to a woman a few weeks ago, her father is quite well off and told her that whenever she got married, hed either pay for a rather large, fancy wedding and that would be her gift, or hed pay for a smallish wedding and give her and her husband a chunk of change that would pretty easily suffice as a down payment on a home.
she seemed to have already made her mind up as to taking the gift in the form of a downpayment and just having close friends and family at the wedding.
I would do the same as that woman you just described. I don't understand how it is even justifiable to spend so much for one day. Forget $300,00, even $30,000 is way too much for me.
