During a recent conversation with the wOw women on weddings, Liz Smith gave the following advice to those about to marry:
“Don’t. Take the money. Take the money and buy yourself a fabulous apartment and don’t spend the money on the wedding. It is the biggest throwaway and means nothing later. It’s the biggest waste of money and effort that I’ve ever heard of. It’s like a big party where you just blow everything out; you have nothing left. It’s got to cost $30,000.”
But Mary Wells had a different view:
“You women really amaze me. I mean, I’ve seen maybe thirty weddings and everybody’s as happy as they can be and the brides are beautiful and they’re sweet and I’m sure there are some of these things that you’re talking about. But there are an awful lot of people who have pretty weddings.”
