Did you happen to catch the episode of “Dr. Phil” on weddings? One couple was having a major disagreement over the cost of their impending nuptials and came to Dr. Phil to help them find a solution. He has $2,500 in savings; she has none. That’s OK, I thought. At least they are talking in terms of cash.
Then the bride dropped the bomb: Because she’s in her mid-30s and has waited so long to get married, she feels absolutely entitled to the lavish wedding of her dreams, complete with Ecuadorian roses to the tune of $7,000—and I mean just for the roses. She said the wedding she has her heart set on will cost $48,000.
