Why do we need to even have a takana wedding. Who needs the whole mishugas:
Invitations
Lchaims then a vort
More Invitations
Dresses, bridal gown, politics, traveling from across the globe
Then sheva brochos.
Costs on the cheap side is 20-30k each side.
Why is this even needed. Go to shul. Get a minyan.
Make a kiddush. Small buffet. Challahs. And thats it.
1-2k.
Done.
I mean since youre already preaching about how others spend $$ i figured i can preach to you about how you spend yours.
