See the "probably already won" makes me itchy - like marriage is a contest??? Marriage isn't a contest unless its, "let's see how long we can live with each other without maiming or murdering each other."

I would never spend 50k on a dress unless I was a billionairess, in which case, it wouldn't exactly matter.
Even $2-4 k is a lot, but if I was super rich I guess I can see it happening, because a lot of couture dresses are that expensive anyway (or more) and I'd wear them out to dinner and stuff so I might as well wear it when I was getting married.

But being that I'm NOT super rich, a couple hundred is what I can justify - especially since I want a dress I can wear over and over.

I wasn't going for contest. Win was intended to mean more like, I don't know, relief or something.

Ok the buckner one was good.

That's my favorite one. There's an American history one, too, and the Obama and Pierce lines are pretty hilarious.

What if she had her own money and was buying the dress herself?

I mean, it would be fine and all, and if she really wanted to do it, I wouldn't stop her, but I guess I just don't care enough about aesthetics (barely at all, in fact) to genuinely get behind spending a bunch of money on something pretty much strictly aesthetic.

I can understand, though, I suppose, the motivation to spend that kind of money, since a wedding is kind of a big deal, but I guess I'd just feel that money would be better allocated to something else, even something else related to the wedding, like upgrading the food and drink or something (which is an investment I most certainly can get behind).

Holy cow that was a long last sentence. All of my English professors are cringing.

I should go to sleep. Statistical mechanics in the morning, then the homework for the class, which I'm hoping to finish by noon, then my family comes in and we're going to lunch, then my office hours, then I should grade for an hour, then a seminar. Busy day ahead.

Later all! :yo:
