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.

LOL! I did manage to have a bit of frivolity *and* buy the house.
My wedding dress was the biggie - I fell in love with it and shelled out...er.....um....well, it was a lot!
Now it's all boxed up and sitting in my guest room. Some days I want to take it out and just wear it around the house.
But the rest of the party was done fairly inexpensively, and I'm reasonably certain most all of our guests enjoyed themselves. I know DH and I did!
