      @@teresaotworth1684 the dress didn't have any sparkle and was mostly tulle. Its all about the material and labor put into making a dress. A big tulle skirt doesn't actually cost as much as a fitted satin skirt. Also, lace can be produced by a machine in bulk and then applied strategically to a skirt and corset. Whereas beading and Crystals must be applied by hand.

    I married into a Cypriot family, had the whole Big Fat Greek Wedding including the dress which by the end of the first dance was covered in money. English friends stuck $2 coins on me, others put rows of $100 notes and in total ended up with enough $ to pay for half of our first house.
    .... oh and all guests also gave us presents. It took 3 weeks to personally write and send all the thank you cards.

      I'm not Greek but my family was completely involved in my wedding. Grooms,mother made the cake, grooms sister in law made the little mints for the cake table. The 2 of them together made the table decorations. My younger sister did the flowers, my older brother gave me away as my father had passed away, my sister and brother in law were matron of honor. and groomsmen, my niece was Jr bridesmaid and nephew was ring bearer. My grooms brother and sister in law were bridesmaid and best man. The grooms children were flower girl, Jr groomsman and ring bearer. We each had 1 friend as bridesmaid and groomsman. My mother paid for the church and Minister and caterer. As I said it was a total family affair and was absolutely perfect. The day couldn't have been any better. It wasn't a huge wedding, about 200 people. We were fortunate enough to have a photographer as well as a videographer. One from the front of the church and the 2nd from the pack,. No one helped me pick out my dress as I made it and all the dresses for the wedding party. I also made my grooms tuxedo as well as tuxedos for the young boys. I had the perfect wedding that I had always dreamed of and didn't have to spend a small fortune to do it. I waa working at a formal wear store at the time so I could have bought a dress had I chosen to but I had always dreamed of making my own dress. I had made many dresses in the past so I was up for the challenge and I finished all the clothing in 6 weeks time as that's all the time we had to plan our wedding

      That’s what I used to make my dress super big.. it’s so much better than the hoops because you can actually sit down without flashing your goodies at everyone lol
 since we had to travel with the dress the crinoline got a bit flat and my gown started dragging it was so frustrating.. until my aunt told me to take it off.. she took it, turned it upside down and sprayed each section in the crinoline with hairspray let it dry a bit flipped it back around and when I put it back on my dress was MASSIVE but I wasn’t stepping on it anymore 😂

    We had 1700 people at my wedding and then 2000 at the reception 😂
    That’s a big fat Indian wedding.
    There’s nothing big about 400

    I feel that much more emphasis was put on impressing the family than the bride

    Haha the money 'thing' we do it too in my country Tunisia đŸ‡č🇳, but it's only for the bride on her own day, because before the wedding ceremony the bride has a day just for her to celebrate with her family and friends As it is for him too

      Sometimes cultures that are immigrants in another country are somehow more intense and crazy than people who actually still live in their country of origin. Take italians in the United States for example

    Grandma’s entitlement is something else. Someone else’s wedding dress does not need for tick your boxes

      to be fair, they all didn't like it, the others chose the British route, she tried to be herself
