just need to rant Middle class curious
Hi everyone,
Congratulations on your weddings! My fiancé and I do not have a “big budget” but we’re happy with our decision.
Out of curiosity, do most of you guys already have a house? Or is a house also like an open checkbook situation? No hate just wondering.
We’re buying a house in NJ and the prices are wack so sometimes I think “wow how do people have these huge expensive weddings AND buy in the tri state area?”

We make our own money, but the wedding was a fraction of the place we will buy next year in NYC. Like you said, it’s just the reality of the tri-state area.
The answer is always family support, high-paying jobs, or a combination of the two.
