So while on vacation in Italy a few weeks ago, I got engaged (yes, I know bad idea) but now having to deal with all this wedding stuff... WOW this shit is expensive!
Even the "not so glamorous" venues run about $1,000+ to rent for a few hours while others ranged from $2,000 to $3,500! WTF!
Food and alcohol... don't get me started on that. It would be cheaper to just take everyone to the Olive Garden over some of these places and the food choices aren't all that great.
Looking around a bit more we found some nicer and even cheaper places, one being a country club near where we live. Even with that, still sucks the cost involved but trying to keep in mind, that I'll be able to recoup some of the costs with gifts and presents
