What's a potluck wedding?

My wife and I got married over a long weekend without invited witnesses
when we had a day or two free, we did not have any sort of party until
later and the marriage lasted. However, I paid a lot for my daughter's
wedding and that's lasted quite a number of years too.

From what I've read here on this group it's a wedding where the guests
bring the food, i.e. a 'potluck' wedding.

But did it cost more than her <read between the lines> divorce?

No, I meant to empasize that daughter's marriage is fine and I was never
divorced.

good dent in ye olde nestegg?



To my interpretation it means spending $30,000 on a gown the bride will wear
*once*, and that doesn't include the price of anything else wedding-related.
But hey, it's not my wedding (Mine was very simple with immediate family
only and a simple reception.)

I won't go into specifics but I did not need to take out a loan and, in
fact, would not have done so. :-)

I'm there for the couple getting married, the food isn't that
important.
Sit down dinner or potluck, either is fine with me, but please provide
a comfortable place to sit and eat.

I think you read too much between the lines. I read ". . . and that has
(contracted to "that's') lasted quite a number. . . . " With the 's or
'has', it would be past tense, but not as it's written.

When we lived in Philly, the neighborhood was originally all 'old country'
Polish. I was told by and elderly neighbor that during the Depression and
other 'rough times' when a wedding was held, the mother and her sisters,
cousins, aunts, friends helped make the dress and the reception was a block
party held on the block the bride's family lived on (chances are the groom
lived on the same block). Everyone rushed back from the wedding mass and
put on the dog on doors and boards across saw horses in front of the
houses. The street was blocked off at both ends and someone's uncle or
friend of a cousin's uncle played in a polka band....there was music and
food until the wedding couple made their way to either their 'new' home, the
trolley to take them to a 'fancy schmancy hotel in Center City for one
night, or to Atlantic City if they saved enough money for the trip.

Something so folksy about it, and it makes the whole catered affair look
cold and stand offish.

A classy wedding reception needn't be expensive.. first off keep the
guest list under 50... no one knows 50 people well enough that they
need to even know of ones wedding. Don't invite anyone under the age
of 18, they don't want to be there anyway. Only the bride needs
flowers, a simple bouquet is adequate. And a wedding reception is not
an occasion where folks are there to stuff their faces and drink
themselves into oblivion... a wedding cake and Champagne is viands
enough. Any wedding reception that runs over an hour is for idiots.
Any couple that feels like they need a mega wedding to prove they
love each other doesn't and has no business getting married... they
should rent a room at the Super 8 and spend one night ****ing each
others brains out and never see each other again.

No pot luck, no pot lucks ever, not for any reason whatsoever.

Watch TLC's "Say Yes to the Dress" and be shocked at what some
Bridezillas demand their parents (or grandparents) pay for
"the perfect dress" and how often a bride says "I always get exactly
what I want". They are completely buying in to the "it's MY special
day" and "I want to be a Princess at my wedding". Makes you want to
reach through the TV and smack them a hard.

The obvious... most folks cook TIAD and filthy... potluck is literally
tantamount to dumpster diving. You may LIKE slop a la carte, I don't.

Let me say that I did not take any offense at Cathy's comments. I just
could not understand why divorce was thought possible from what I said.

As I think Om says sometimes, "Peace".

I voted with the majority. We just had our 50th anniversary last
October. We were married in the Manse of a church and my husband's family
had a family dinner in their home with a homemade wedding cake made by dh's
grandmother. We started out with nothing (very young) and had no big
expectations since we were raised in a lower income situation. And they
said it wouldn't last....lol....Sharon in Canada

I can't tell you how happy I am for you. I've rarely had reason to post
to something you originated. In this situation, I felt the need to say I
am happy for you. I lost my inspiration at 25 years. To go 50, is
warming for me.

I will keep my eyes open for the next 25 yeas....

I think some of these "extravagant" weddings are also a way for the
parents (or grandparents) trying to show-off to their
family/friends/acquaintances.

You may know the type: "By the way Daaahling, did I tell you that
<bride's name> *designer* wedding dress is almost ready - and she is
going to look absolutely *stunning* in it... Of course it's costing us
an absolute *fortune*, but who cares? Nothing's too good for our little
princess... Oh, did I mention that we've invited over 500 guests?"

Heh. Who cares how much the dress/reception/whatever cost? IMO, whether
couples stay together forever or the marriage eventually ends in
divorce has got nothing to do with how much the damn shindig or the
dress cost on their wedding day. And getting oneself into debt to pay
for it is rather dumb, IMHO.
