Dh and I had been saving for our wedding when the house came on the market...so we bought the house and got married on the back lawn.
I think that is incredibly awesome. I would much rather spend that kind of money on an investment, like a home, than on one day of frivolity. way to go!

just wanted to clarify that by "frivolity," I mean a $1000 dress I'd only wear once, a room full of ice sculptures, a 30 piece band, a five course dinner for 400, $5000 wedding favors for each guest, etc etc. how celebrities do it, in other words. I don't mock marriage at all...just the "need" for one day of mememe.
