We thought we had convinced our daughter to hold off on her wedding till Oct 2012 so that we could afford Moab in 2011. Not only is she back on for Oct 2011, she has Gucci taste on Mom & Dad's Walmart budget. It looks like t4b will be at Moab 2012.

I have absolutely no idea where she developed that "Gucci taste" - mebbe she learnt it in college.
Ash - no way is she backing down to a small, intimate wedding. If anything, she's outta control on this. The place she's currently looking at having it is over 2X the budget we allowed.
Of course the current situation isn't helping either. Brother in law just moved back in with us since he's been outta work for the past 8 months. Eldest daughter is prolly moving back too since she & BF broke up.
Life is so much fun at times.

Best parental response in the given situation... "TOO BAD! SOOO SAD!"
My sis has Gucci taste, yet has no job and expects single mommy to pay for everything... She has had a serious reality check for her senior year in high school.
If you are paying for it, it should be by your rules with some compromise to accommodate her wants. Otherwise, she should pony up the dough and since she isn't likely to do that... YOU get to go to Moab!
Problem solved!
That's my non-parental inexperienced opinion.

I'm surprised she was willing to wait an entire year to begin with, seems like everyone I know is getting married in less than six months from their engagement (including me lol). Spending big $$$ on a wedding is such a waste, being on the other side of both a big and small wedding (the latter being just the two of us and a preacher on the beach) I can't imagine spending all that money again. Any chance she would put off the big ceremony for later if she could get married privately sooner?

I am looking at how the Spring 2011 Semester end at my school and it says "Last day of classes May 2, Finals May 3rd-4th, and Semester ends May 10". The program I am in may run an extra week so I am sticking to the "MAYBE" Zone for now. But if we end class by the 14th, you bet your sweet butt I am going! I am crossing my fingers and toes... HA! (I originally typed "tows"...uh oh...)

Well, I am sad to say we are out. The wife talked me into going to the bahamas. This is our last spring in Charleston, and the cruise ship departs from here. I can do the entire cruise including shore excursions for less than what I would spend in gas alone on the trip to Moab. Maybe next year if we end up on the west coast, and I am not deployed...
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
