Indeed, Why is Lakewood the capital of Gashmious in America?
Why does a Chinese Actions have a prize of Luxury shopping in Lakewood?
It's one thing to be able to get all things for Frum life, it's another to get all luxury things for Frum and not very Frum life.
Why do we feel the need to surrounded our self in luxury?

80k income can’t make a wedding without tzedakah. (Unless they invested 50-100 a month from the baby’s birth) |
With 80k income they would barely be able to pay half their expenses, how would they be able to invest 50-100 a month from the baby's birth?

I wonder if they spoke to their daughter before hand, said we have x amount to spend on your wedding you get to keep the left over money.
Do you want a wedding of your dreams or a smaller quieter wedding and have more money left over?
Or did they make the wedding of their dreams and what ever was left over that is what they gave her? |
I can't imagine what more she could have dreamed of to spend that $50 thousand on. 175k is a crazy number already. What do you think she was missing?

My question was;
Did they speak to there daughter before they planed the wedding?
Or did they just plan not worry about the money and if there would be anything left over they would give it to her.
Did she have any thought that maybe we should scale the plans down so I could end up with more money for my future life? Or was that not even a conversation the parents made the wedding and that's was that no thoughts from anyone maybe lets go smaller.
