The Canadian Wedding Expo was this past weekend at the Rogers Center. (Side note: I think changing the name of the Skydome to The Roger’s Centre was absolutely ridiculous. Ted Rogers is an incredibly vain man.) Mel and I woke up early and made the trek down with our coffee and bagels in hand.
When we made it to gate 7, we paid our admission price, a hefty $22 each. We went in and registered for our free wedding dollars that we’ll probably never spend and began to search through the maze of vendors for the things we will actually need, then, sift through those for the ones we could actually afford.
I can only speak for myself when I say that weddings as a whole are extremely overpriced. I mean COME ON PEOPLE, what a money grab! Tell me any other time you will spend upwards of thousands of dollars on flowers or decorations or photos….. You can’t think of one can you???? That’s because it doesn’t exist! I think that the ‘group’ of wedding vendors all got together and decided that this was a great way to ruin a beautiful thing for two people in love….. over charge them.
The one thing I found that I was actually considering – for a moment – was a fireworks display at the end of the night. How awesome would it be to begin your new life as husband and wife with a huge display of fireworks?
For $1500 – I’ll pass. That’s a 3 minute display I can live without!
