To each their own, but personally I think it's crazy to spend that kind of money on a wedding. I wouldn't feel right for the parents to have to foot that kind of bill, and it makes no sense for the couple to drop that kind of cash (or rack up that kind of debt) before they even say "I do"...keep it simple, kinda small, personal...you don't need to invite everyone you've ever met, and then feed them lobster and Kobe beef... Unless of course you're loaded...then do whatever you please...but in the end, it's not gonna matter... Seems like the more people spend on their weddings, the more miserable they are worrying about every little thing not being perfect...just my humble opinion...
