Here's the alternative:
Basically, finding out your partner wants a big wedding is a huge go/no-go moment. Save the money for when you really need it.
Yeehaw! A thirteen dollar photoshoot!
Photoshoot's free. The $13 is for the print you get.
You mock, but my grandparents only have a couple photos of the day they were married. But they did stick together all their lives, and they did raise their kids as best they could within their means.
There was a study a few years ago that showed that people who spend less on wedding have a lower chance of divorce.
On the other hand not going for a honeymoon increase divorce rate.
So better save money on the wedding and spend it on a honeymoon.
I didn't realize you were referencing something from like 50-60 years ago. All in all, you make valid points... I have lived long enough to personally validate them. It was just the "thirteen to five hundred dollars" range that made me chuckle!
