Any tips for a bitcoiner getting married this year and has to find a way to cut costs for the wedding or raise funds? Very excited to get married, but the cost is crazy for me even taking into account everything we have done to keep it low. Looking at a cost of about 15m sats as it stands which hurts when I think about it, so any advice/tips/tricks would be greatly appreciated 🤘🏼❤️

Save the sats! Don’t spend money on a wedding. Gather friends and family and find a nice big tree or an ocean view and boom you’re done! Sit together and have a meal afterwards… no need to spend money on this—when you look back in ten years, it will be most memorable due to the people who at...

My wife and I got married at the courthouse. Our marriage is between us and God (ignore the state) so we didn't need to gift others with a party. We've seen a dozen other couples that spent thousands and thousands on a wedding that divorced with debt. We take a trip to renew our vows every 10 year...

Dance around a tree, it is free, fun and helps your relationship exactly as much as marriage does. You can send me 100k sats for this advice, i helped you save 14.9m sats. You are welcome!

My wife and I got married in a grove in an old growth forest that is part of a Pennsylvania state park. We got permission from the park -- and the cost was zero. We did spend a little for a path of flowers shaped like a Life Rune, and a portable sound system to add some Beethoven to the background b...

Your parents and siblings, her parents and siblings, priest in a church, dinner at a nice restaurant. You honestly don't need more than that. Enjoy spending the money you can afford, don't mind what others will think. God bless you and your matrimony!

I’m a bitcoiner also getting married this year. I’m having the same thoughts. My #1 takeaway is that you want your future wife to enjoy the day. However much BTC you need to spend to achieve that, do it. If it’s not much, great. If it’s a lot, it’s one day, do it anyway. More broadly, ...

Expose her to the fact that the diamond industry is built upon mass psychological manipulation, and exploitation. That mossanites are both morally, and ethically better, higher quality, and less stressful to purchase. Also some cultures don't use diamond rings, they use nose piercings. Probably a...

Not to marry is the best cost cutting method. My research in my family, friends, relatives circle shows that marriage does not solve anything and in most cases causes problemes when it fails, especially in financial terms for the men. Women demand it as a security guarantee sure, however it is and a...

My wife and I just went to the courthouse and got the paperwork. No cemenomies, etc.

Get hitched at the courthouse, have a small/personal wedding, and take what you would have spent and buy more bitcoin. Take it from someone who didnt and should have.

https://www.tacobellwedding.com LFG!!! We invited?

We did this for our wedding so maybe some ideas will help. We printed invites via an online service, nothing super fancy just simple and nice. We cooked the main dishes (smoked whole prime rib and Low Country Boil (frogmoore stew if you are in South Carolina) and did some smoked jalapeno poppers (...

We had a friends backyard (farm-ish). Roasted a whole pig + sides for a few hundred bucks (people still say how much better it was than fancy plated weddings). Used decorative plastic plates and silverware from Amazon, no one gave a shit. Tents and bar were the biggest expense. You could buy booze ...

Public (city/county/state) venues are affordable.

Celebrate it. Hopefully you only do it once. Don't worry about fancy, but do think about being comfortable. Don't try to do too much yourself or you will be exhausted before it starts.

For who do you wed? The 2 of you? Or all the others... 😉 Just sign the papers and go on with your life... no need to spend any more money on it. (The fact that you even need to pay is reduculous in itself)

A friend of mine many years ago had guests help make and bring the food. That worked pretty well!

Cancel the wedding and spend that money on travel. Travel is just about the only thing I never regret spending money on. Weddings are overrated. (Commitment is underrated.) You can do your wedding for much much less.

Recoup with gifts? Keep it simple. Enjoy the day

MNicolas_OK · 26w

I think it is complicated, and there is no single solution, just enjoy it even if it is with few resources 🤙

Get her pregnant now, so she is too distracted to plan an elaborate weddng.

it's me, real fake · 26w

make the wedding more affordable by adjusting your value measure. balloons and flower arrangement and ostentatia are fiat. get that into the fabric of your being

Wedding day is a single day. Memorable sure. But marriage is a lifetime journey and expense. Spend accordingly.

BTCrevolutionary · 26w

Elope. Why do you want to spend that much money for a party for other people??

contrarian take based on other comments i paid for our wedding myself, no family support, spent a decent amount, worth every sat

Think about what really matters. It's a celebration of love. Does this really need any money? Keep it small and simple, it's not Hollywood. For food, flowers and room renting (if needed at all) create a https://geyser.fund/ or use self hosted https://be-bop.io/home . Maybe, some of your friends wi...

I feel you and I got no advice other spend what you can, do right by your guests and absolutely enjoy the great day

In Japan guest pay to attend a wedding.

Don’t do it. Unless you’re prepared for the biggest test of your character and your ability to compromise that this world can muster. It’s by design that most marriages fail, assets get split, the wife gets favoured by the courts, and you’re starting again from zero right when you thought yo...

Think of current wedding hype like a fiat game. Think of a wedding on the Bitcoin standard. Close family and authentic relationships for guests etc. Real food and real music.

I got married in my in-laws backyard. We spent about $6,000.(Block 418,975) On a taco truck, decorations, etc. My wife bought a dress for less than $300. Our rings were about $1,000. We paid for our honeymoon by setting up a honeymoon donation website for our "gift registry." We would have more Bi...

Here’s a tight reply: Weddings *are* brutal cost-wise—consider scaling back the guest list or DIY elements (food/décor). On the financial side, I was just reading about how Bitcoin ETF inflows could shift liquidity dynamics by 2026, which might offer opportunities to offset costs if you’re...

GuyFawkes · 25w

If it floats, flies, or fucks…it’s ALWAYS cheaper to rent it.

Mostly good advice here. Truly it’s your wife that needs to make the cost cutting decisions. How much for a dress she wears once? We had over 250+ guests and made that budget work because she was amazing. Get married in winter, she made all the flowers out of paper, and look for all the pitfalls. ...

So...the marriage and the journey is what matters. Your future together...one day (the wedding) a single "event" is mostly for the family and the bride. Key is to be on the same page together. One of the best things my wife and I did was do Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University as part of my pre...
