And since there is only one way to live, it’s very important that everyone do it just the way you would, right?
I know that people who are frugal love to pretend you can’t have both a party and a marriage, but they’re not mutually exclusive. It turns out you can plan a lavish wedding and be aware of the depth of commitment involved in marriage as well. But I know that sitting on a high horse is just ever so much fun for people.
Many, many things we do are needless and extravagant. I’m sure many people on this board are planning to spend thousands of dollars to attend worlds in person. But that’s not a necessity, right? It’s on TV. So that’s terribly extravagant! Completely unnecessary! But they’re doing it, because it’s their money, they can afford to, and it’s what they want to do.
Watching Worlds at the event is WAY different than watching it on tv.
And before people get all judgey about extravagance...maybe that person at Worlds put aside a little money...or gave up wine or eating out to afford those tickets.
People actually spend money on non-necessities every day. I don’t know why everyone suddenly loses their mind about every little thing when it’s a wedding.
