I do not see the need for such a lavish wedding. Why not scale back the celebration and put the 7 G's + some of what Dad is kicking in towards a down payment for your house, savings, or investment instead?

Don't forget that just because you see 7 thousand as extravagant or unnecessary, someone else may have different priorities. So they spend that much on their wedding...maybe they are sacrificing in other areas.
