They are gorgeous Teach. I can't believe that your youngest looks so grown up. He was just a little boy when I first met you. My how time flies.

Teach, let me say first, congratulations to the daughter and she is quite the lucky young woman. Woohoo for her. I wish her well.
I come from a large family and I do have to say it's nice when there are weddings because we all do showers together. They cost SO much anymore to give, I feel sorry for you going it alone.

Sam is right though, your brother will get to return the favor 4 times! lol

All I can say is, if your having to shell the money out, PLEASE enjoy...

Teach, I know it's a lot of money but it's apparent that you family is close and I think that is the main thing. I think that the great family memories will outweigh the costs and everyone will have a wonderful time. Congratulations to the bride and groom!

That is excellent news about Bri! I'm sure you're bursting with pride over her accomplishments as well you should be. Nursing is such a noble profession; the world needs folks like her. Bri sounds like an...

We are leaving tomorrow for Newport, RI, where hubby's niece is getting married in a black tie optional wedding at a mansion resort. We opted to stay at a local B&B but that is still expensive for 3 nights. There is also the drive to the airport, gas, parking, flights, car rental, plus all new clothes for the fancy event, gift, plus food, tips, and other incidentals. Oy! Luckily there were no showers or other dinners for us to attend. We skipped a 20th anniversary trip in April and...

I feel like a jerk for complaining. I was just having sticker shock gathering all my money together for the week! Actually I am looking forward to a fun filled 3 days!!! Weddings have gotten a bit out of control in my opinion. I am encouraging my daughter to elope (JK)

Bri, my daughter, will graduate next May with a BS in nursing. She will definitely continue on with school, though she is still not certain what...

Incredible how much a wedding costs those that are not even getting married. I hope your brother and family apprieciate the costs that you are going to for her wedding. hang in there, like everyone has said, you have 4 that will eventually get married and cost his family a small fortune. lol

WOW! the Mayo clinic! I forget, what is she studying? That's such good news and even better that she is enjoying it.

Oh Geez Teach. I thought I spent a lot last year when my best friend got married. She doesn't have much family so since I was Maid of Honor i had to throw the shower the Bachelorette Party and Pay for dresses for both me and Abby since she was flower girl. By the time I was done i had spent over 1500. I am sure with all you've got vested in this wedding you will be way over that. Hope it all goes well for you and your family, and make sure he pays you back when your kids time come...

Oh, poor Teach! And to have all your kids involved like that, wow, that is a fortune! I hope you don't have many other siblings!

I'm going to a wedding later this month in CA. My best friend's daughter is getting married. My friend has done most of the planning for it to keep the expenses down. She's doing most of the flower decorating. It...

Teach, your brother has 1 kid but you've got FOUR! Don't worry, you'll pay him back! Or should I say, he'll be paying you back. Just make sure he gives all your kids bridal showers, too.

I know what you mean, I gave my little cousin a small baby shower/cookout and it cost quite a bit not even including her gift (or the wedding gift I had to buy a short time later for her - yeah she did it backwards - first the baby, then the wedding)

Look at it this way...

My brother's only daughter is getting married this weekend and it is costing me a FORTUNE! I threw a shower for her 3 weeks ago. They gave me the guest list and it was 55 people. I dropped and easy $300 on that. All of my four kids are in the wedding....that is 3 tux's (total $420) 1 bridesmaid dress ($175) 3 nights at a hotel, four guys golfing for the bachelor party and we haven't even talked gifts yet. I love my niece dearly, but you would think the Queen on England is...
