We married off daughter #1 in Israel almost four years ago and daughter #2 in Brooklyn recently. For daughter #1, we had to do little more than buy our plane tickets (only a few — we have a small family, they have a large one, hence our decision to have the chasunah in EY). Our machutanim did the legwork. For daughter #2, the shoe was on the other foot — we’re local and our machutanim are long-distance. I’m pretty sure the costs are lower for EY weddings. We only paid for plane tickets for immediate family, so that wasn’t too bad.
