Wedding expenses for Junior especially if he marries the HS girlfriend
Traditionally, it’s the family of the bride that’s on the hook for the wedding. Good to have a son.
I already told him to not be stupid when it comes to a wedding. Basically, if he can’t afford to pay for it himself then it’s too expensive.
I would certainly chip in some coin but if they want to invite 250 people and pay $50K+ or some shit then that’s their problem.
I qualified it being the HS girlfriend
They’re still together.
Like I said…
I’ve mentioned before here that my wife runs hospital unit for advanced dementia patients. Many of these folks cannot afford private care and are waiting for beds in public facilities. Some have been waiting in hospital for 200-300 days for a bed to come available. Many have no family, or none interested in checking in on them. Others have family that only come to try and get access to the patient’s bank accounts etc.
Grim is an understatement. If I ever get to that point, and can get over the fact that windy will cast his judgement on me, I’ll choose MAID.
My wife and I just had our ten year anniversary. We went away for a long weekend (first trip ever without kids!) to a swanky resort in whistler.
There was a wedding happening at the resort and I talked to a few folks. One family paid for the entire thing. They reserved the entire dining room for an evening. Just doing some napkin math based on wedding size, room rates and dining costs I can’t imagine the wedding cost less than a quarter million dollars.
I think our wedding cost around $15,000.
But at current exchange rates that’s about £17
You’re using pounds now?
That sounds awful. There were several patients on my dad’s floor who would try to glom onto me, my brothers, anyone from ‘outside’ who came to visit anyone on the wing. They had nobody.
I get that. The first time my dad didn’t know who I was, I kept it together until I left the building. I then lost my shit in the parking lot outside and made my wife promise that if I ever got to that point, she’d fetch my Beretta and put me out of my misery. I was/am dead serious.
That sounds awful. Im so sorry you and your family had to experience that.
Im fairly certain my mom is showing signs of dementia that are getting harder to dismiss. Getting old really sucks.

Just some nostalgia for you all
I think it’s just your anglophilia shining through.
