Make sure her having her way doesn't get out of hand, like so many do. Hoof Hearted's wedding sounds like at least $30,000 today. I not criticizing her for doing that, to each his(her) own, what ever blows your skirt up.

That said, my peer group is the fathers of the bride or groom, sometimes grandfathers having to step in when the father is absent. They tell me of offers to buy the newlyweds a car, downpayment on a house or just the cash in hand, to forgo the huge dog & pony show, for a simple ceremony with immediate family.
NO WAY! Barbie wants a storybook wedding like a Disney movie.

Two years later half are divorced, or at least separated, up to their butts in debt without 2 cents to rub together. Often the trouble was arguing over money problems. What a damn waste.
