  Yeah I saw it.  That was crazy.  I wanted to know what her FI did for a living.  He said $50K was a lot but he still wrote the check.  And did you hear her say the wedding was costing around $500,000?!!!

  It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

  Sure did.  I get the feeling that she's gonna run through his entire bank account before their first anniversary.

  He's use to it. She said they met in college so I'm sure he knew what he was getting into. But geeze, that much money for two dresses for 6hrs?

  If I had that kind of money to spend for a wedding, There would not be a $50,000 wedding dress.  Call me crazy, but I may want to spend that much on flowers, but not the wedding dress.  I love my wedding dress, but decided to focus my high dollar expenses on food, flowers, and photography.  My dress was much lower on the priority list....

  
  

  I am sure that her FI knows the package he is buying, literally.  I hope their marriage lasts.

  I missed the show, was the dress amazing? If I were a multi-millionaire and the dress had real diamonds and was a show stopper I would buy it, but if it looked like any other dress that is $5K than that is a real problem.

  Wedding date July 7, 2012

  It was okay, but not worth the money. It was one of those sheer corset tops with the crystals on it and a fully skirt.  Both tops were similar for her ceremony and reception dresses, but I am not a fan of that lingerie -inspired wedding gown look.
