Your Disney Wedding......

[katwoman]

Finally, all brides-to-be fantasize about the perfect storybook wedding, and now that dream is a reality at Walt Disney World Resort with Disney's Couture Wedding Collection by David Tutera, who was here today to show us the four amazing tailored looks available to brides at Walt Disney World Resort, which include:

1) Classic Elegance: For the bride who really wants to be a princess at the ball, dancing with her prince…
2) Simply Chic: For the modern bride, it's all about sleek modern lines combined with the soft elements of flowers and fabrics…
3) Enchanted Garden: For the bride who imagines her wedding as if she has been transported into a garden with colors that are soft and muted but still vibrant enough to make her wedding come alive with magic…
4) Cocktail Soiree: For the unique and different bride and groom that want to make a statement and simply have some fun…
For more details on how to throw the ultimate storybook wedding that is beyond your wildest dreams, visit David's own event planning website at davidtutera.com.

The above snipet was taken from The View website as a recap of today's show. What the above left out, however, is that this soiree will set you back...........75,000 smackers! That's right, I heard it cause I was (half) watching the show this morning. Of course, as soon as I heard that figure my eyes and ears were glued to the TV! Even the TV hosts interviewing this guy were aghast.

$75,000--eeks! That's a lot to pay for some time with the mouse! I knew someone from high school who had a Disney wedding, I'm glad I didn't ask her how much it cost, I probably would have passed out.

You know, I'm an avid Disney fan, and even I think this is nuts!

I guess if you've got money to burn, more power to you, but who really needs to indulge in the princess fantasty this much? A glass carriage? Fake footmen? I would just wonder about someone who felt they needed all of this for their wedding. High-maintenance much? Yikes!

I got married at Disney World in 2004. It was a beautiful event and it cost no where near $75,000. I think they assume 250 guests with the price estimates? We had 60 guests.

To be fair, one thing people often don't think about is the income of the folks who do things like this.

Let's say I earn 100K/yr and I plan a wedding for 25K, a fairly average amount around here I think. That is 25% of my annual income.

Let's say someone else earns 1 million/yr and plans a wedding for 100K. That's only 10% of his annual income.

So I think it is all relative. In a way, I'm overextending myself a lot more than the guy spending 4 times as much. If you've got the money and this is how you choose to spend it, go right ahead and enjoy yourself. There are plenty of things I see every day that I can't or choose not to afford like luxury cars, expensive hotel rooms, lavish homes, etc. But there are lots of others who can afford those things, otherwise they wouldn't exist.
