It’s been said that a wedding ring is supposed to cost two months salary.
We all know that’s a load of baloney. It’s all marketing.
Seriously – all that “two months salary” thing is going to do is force kids to get married while they’re young and unemployed — that’s how you can keep that two months salary thing as cheap as possible.
Weddings can cost a lot of money. Web Watch has heard stories from our friends of their weddings costing tens of thousands of dollars — one even went into the six figures, partially courtesy of the location held high above Manhattan.
But just as there are many ways that can cause a wedding cost to skyrocket, there are plenty of other ways that the happy couple can cut down on the costs of some wedding specifics.
Are you still wearing your high school gym clothes in your office gym?
Hanging out in your fraternity or sorority sweatshirt while you sit around the Chuck E Cheese with the other parents at birthday parties?
Do you insist on wearing your 1992 Olympics t-shirt for anything fancier than taking out the trash at midnight when nobody can see you?
If so, you may have a CLOTHING AGE PROBLEM, where you’re unwilling to part with those cherised apparel memories of a well-spent youth.

A study has proven that MEN ARE PERVERTS, WOMEN ARE GOLD DIGGERS.
Like we needed a study to tell us this.

Quick poll: how many Web Watch readers are currently divorced?
We’d go with an average and say that at least 25% of you are… but we figure that may be a bit high of an estimate.
Even so, it wouldn’t surprise us if that were the case. There do seem to be a large number of divorced people in this world, but they all seem to have the same question in their minds:
Maybe Angelina and Brad have it right — just don’t get married (or, at the very least, tell the kids that you’re going to get married… even if it’s “eventually”).
Couples that we thought were in it for the long haul — Johnny Depp, for example — can even surprise us by separating.
Over the years, Web Watch has seen any number of our friends get married, get divorced, and get married again. For some, it’s turned into a comedy of errors as to how long their current marriage is going to last – whether it will be shorter or longer than the last one.
It happens.
Marriage isn’t for everyone.
