Okay, I KNOW that I have devoted my life to recycling stuff, and if it weren’t for Wretched Excess, I wouldn’t have a career. But this article, How to Wed Lavishly for Less, is truly over the top.
The woman “saved” money on buying a wedding dress “nothing too poufy” at Michael’s, the Manhattan consignment shop (and a very nice shop it is, no reflection on them!) We won’t discuss the travel from Boston to NY (at least she probably took public transportation!), and she’s “smart” enough to hire a DJ instead of a band, thus saving $1000 or more. Experts advise her: “Choose your party favors wisely” (excuse me, I thought party favors were for 5-yr-olds so they didn’t whine. What adult needs another tsotske in her/his life?) and “pin-spot your flower arrangements.”
The total kicker? The woman is 32 years old and “renewing her vows.” Guess Wedding #1 didn’t make her feel like Queen for a Day quite long enough (wonder if her parents are still paying it off?) Think her husband has a tendency to stray? Think I’d blame him if he did?
