My parents can barely afford to pay for my wedding, and my job cannot cover the rent, food, and utilities of the average newlywed in my neighborhood. I cannot rely on my parents for financial support after my wedding (they’re barely managing to make ends meet as it is).
Forget about a year long honeymoon in Israel. Forget about a down payment for a house.
At least I know that the guy who marries me is doing so for me. Not my money. Not my parents.
