I enjoyed planning and celebrating our wedding. If other guys don't, that's really a shame.

As for the payment, it has been some time since I was in the wedding cycle. Our friends are all past that point. We've been married 16 years. I guess things have changed. No wonder young couples have so much debt. They want the weddings that my generation had but they don't have any money to pay for them and aren't getting them paid for by their families like we did. Had we been footing the bill, we certainly wouldn't have had the affair that we did.
