My Best Friend's Million Dollar Wedding
My sister's best friend from high school just got married. The friend comes from, well, let's just say, a ridiculously wealthy family. So, as expected, the wedding was a ridiculously lavish event. It was a black tie nighttime wedding, and my sister told me all about it afterwords.
After the ceremony, the guests went to the reception area where it started off with a cocktail hour. There were stands of every type food including a fresh sushi bar, pastas, salads, freshly carved meats, chinese food, and people walking aroudn with plates of h'our dourves. There was also an open bar with made-to-order cocktails, as well as people walking around with glasses of champagne.
The main room for the reception was where the tables were with full out entrees (selection of filet mignon or halibut), red and white wine on every table, and a live band playing, as well as a DJ.
Along with the impressive wedding cake, there were also various desserts passed out to the tables, and then back in the cocktail room there were stands of chocolate fondue, various fruit, make-your-own crepe and waffle stands, and a make-your-own sundae stand. I was overwhelmed just hearing about all of this food, which I can't imagine was eaten or even touched by everyone.
Simply attending the wedding was a big expense for my sister and her husband, who had to get a black tie dress and rent a tux. They were shocked by how much money this wedding must have cost and couldn't imagine anybody paying so much money (they guessed at least a quarter of a million), all for just one night.
Do you think it's worth it to have such an expensive wedding?
