My brother had an expensive and elaborate wedding and reception.
He’s still married, but he is also still working his ass off at age 70.
He has no fun.
His wife looks like a wildebeest or warthog with the same warm personality.
She has no hobbies, no activity she likes (e.g. hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, exploring, traveling, etc.)
I wonder how my brother can stand it.

Maybe when he comes home she's screaming, 'THE MONSTER! I MUST HAVE IT! FUCK MY FACE!" and he takes her on the stairs and the hallway and the kitchen table before passing out with beers in their hands, like normal people.

I got married in my backyard, my Dad presided over the ceremony. We spent about $100 on food and drink.

My wedding picture is me standing under a "Merry Christmas" sign hanging over the community center, where the night before they hosted a Christmas pageant for the City.
It was just me, my wife, her brothers and sisters, one of my brothers, and the JP doing officiating the ceremony(as it were).

My brother had an expensive and elaborate wedding and reception.This is what happens when someone never has to work or be accountable for anything. I started seeing similar behavior in my wife and shut that shit down. She didn't want to work even though the kids were entering high school. When there's no fire to motivate someone, this is what happens.

The distinguished media and financial services company Bloomberg has waded into the numbers game. They have analyzed a large amount of data on marriages, divorces, and the cost of the wedding. They came up with an astounding conclusion as follows:
"The cheaper the wedding, the longer the marriage."
The total cost of my wedding to Elena in February of 2001 was as follows:
Contribution to Cross Roads Bible Church: $200.00
Webvan for wedding treats: $ 50.00
Pastor Samuel Nandakumar presided at the wedding. Two of our readers were there-Joao and Djenane Santos. My platonic roommate Jacqui Kwon was there. (She has since returned to South Korea.) I got the feeling that no one there thought that the union would last that long.
Sadly, I have been to the weddings of several dear friends. They were elaborate and expensive events. Those unions did not last. There may be something to what Bloomberg said.
