Yeah, thank you.
Happy to be here.
The most I ever spent was probably around $5,000.
That's including a flight to Italy.
So my friend is Italian and he and his wife decided to get married in Bologna.
It was totally worth it.
I was nine months postpartum.
It was expensive, but it ended up sort of being this like little vacation that I would have never taken otherwise.
Yes.
So obviously there's the cost of actually going to the wedding.
So there's flight and hotel.
And usually it's like a block of hotels where you're able to get a special rate.
I'm doing air quotes at the moment.
It's a special rate, but it's still maybe like $500 a night for a hotel.
And sometimes people have an engagement party and a bridal shower and a bachelorette party.
And so if you're very close with the bride, you're then expected to attend all of those things if you can.
But
For a bachelorette party now, there's the unwritten expectation that the bride pays for nothing.
Right.
That's sort of like a gift maybe.
