If that's the best date they can get, $10k is an acceptable cost. If SK taxes are like France's, that's $2-4k maybe? Quick check: https://www.justlanded.de/english/South-Korea/South-Korea-Guide/Money/Income-tax Depending on how much he earns something between 20-35% of the money goes to taxes (don't know if they have to pay for healthcare or something similar as well). Not to forget that the travel to Blizzcon also takes away some of the 10K$. My wedding with 100 people did already cost around 5K EUR and I think our wedding was probably fairly cheap. (The Caterer was a friend of the family so lower prices, we bought the beverages ourselves, etc.pp.) Ok, things like dress and ring you have anyway no matter if you move it or not, but the rest is normally not fully refundable, or not refundable at all. And believe me, if you ever plan your wedding just slightly bigger than just grab something to eat together with your parents afterwards, you will never ever move the wedding date just a month or two before the wedding!  | ||

I know I wouldn't, but I'm a really bad consumer anyway. they probably COULD afford it if they had really wanted to, but it would have required making sacrifices in other areas which they weren't willing to go through. i'm sure that refusing to cash $10k (which is a ridiculous sum of money) would have been one of those. it's not like anyone cared. weddings are supposed to be meaningful for two people, fuck everyone else really. | ||

Even if you do have a "big" wedding 30k is ridiculous IMO. My sister's wedding last year didn't cost anywhere near that and they had a wedding with the works. 100 invites, dinner, other catering, open bar with waitstaff, a dj, live saxophonist (to improvise over the dj set, the effect was great), professional photographer, gifts for the guests. They planned and organised everything themselves. It was one of the best parties I've ever been too, which I can't say about too many weddings. | ||

You don't need to spend ton of money to have a good or big wedding. Biggest point for saying no to blizzcon was surely not of monetary reasons. His friends and relatives all planned to come to this date. You can't put a value to time. | ||

Did cost less than 1.000 bucks. Then again, neither my wife nor me would ever want those crazy big planned weddings. And with every one of those we attend, we become even happier with our decision. | ||

My sister is having one of those big crazy weddings in February. I would never do something nearly as elaborate as her but hey it's what she wants and she's ok with spending the money. All down to preference I say. They do say it's more rewarding to spend money on experiences rather than things! | ||

Our guests had a good laugh at my inebriated expense. Glad I don't remember it though, because the play-by-play reports was rather embarassing. It didn't happen if you can't remember it right? | ||
