My wedding was $61. The license was $60, and we needed paper towels for folks to use after the cake a friend bought. Got married in a tiny apartment with maybe twenty people present, and streamed it so a couple hundred more could watch. I still sometimes wear the outfit I got married in. Makes my wife’s heart skip a beat when I do.

My brother got married in Venice to the tune of $48,000. I wasn’t on the guest list cause we’re rather estranged but there were apparently tailored suits and an actual wedding ring involved.

I don’t wanna think about paying a student loan amount of money for a wedding.
