One of the items said
that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones spent $210,000 per *hour*
on
their wedding.

That's truly disgusting. For all I know, the pair may donate millions to
charity, but that's still an obscene amount of money for a wedding.

Our wedding was on top of Mt Keira, to the backdrop of a wonderful view of
Illawarra and the sea. My dress cost $40, the shoes $100, the makeup was
free when I bought the Christian Dior lipstick (I got it done at one of
those stalls in the cosmetics department of a big department store -
lipstick was $40 and I needed it to "touch up" anyway). Joel's suit hire
was
$150. The Celebrant's fee is a set $300. The booze cost at the most, $500.
Various sundries came to about another $200. The reception was out our
favourite restaurant ( a Japanese place - they threw in the decoration for
free, we hadn't asked for it) and we asked the guests to pay for their
dinner (at $25 per person) rather than give us gifts. We ate till we
couldn't fit anything more in (and had leftovers), my parents supplied the
cake, and there was lots of booze left over (we're going to drink the last
bottle tonight - its our 1st anniversary today) and everyone said it was
the
most relaxed and comfortable wedding they'd ever been to - and the
cheapest
(some people did bring gifts, but they were sweet, thoughtful, nont
"wedding
present" small electrical appliance - priced gifts) to boot. I think we
probably payed less than $1000 when everything got added up. It was just
the
right combination of formal ceremony and casual celebration for us. I'd do
it again!

Yowie
Boss isn't here, so I'm being sneaky and posting & reading at work. Hence
my
not-lurking today.

Happy anniversary to you,
happy anniversary to you,
happy anniversary, happy anniversary,
happy anniversary to yooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu!

I warned Bob that cake-smooshing was NOT acceptable to me [I wanted a
little more dignity to celebrate what was to us a sacred ceremony than
that]. Fortunately, he agreed with me. :-)


Us too - I never did like the smooshing the cake in the face "joke". I
think when you are celebrating your love you should at least show each
other
some respect and kindness. Feeding each other cake is supposed to
symbolize
taking care of and providing for one another, not humiliating one
another.

I've never been married, so maybe I'm missing something symbolic, but
I've never understood the cake in the face deal.

I am married and still don't understand it! ;

Hugs,
