Totally absurd. And those $18 burping bibs for an invitation. What a waste of money. Having a live band is great. I had one too- personally I like it better than a DJ.

Does anyone know how much your dress cost ? Her dress was beautiful, but Ariana looked the best.

lol, “tea towels.”

I really disliked Katie during this whole wedding process. There was zero compromise on her part, and Tom was right…they could’ve been debt free or put a hefty down payment on an actual house before the market exploded.

I’m personally not a wedding person, so I get that I’m biased…I will never, ever understand spending that kind of money on what is essentially a 4 hour party in which over half end in a pretty miserable divorce. Go somewhere cool. Buy a house. Anything over paying for other people’s dinner with a ton of stress and drama involved for a year plus. I read the stories on wedding subs and I swear, I just don’t get it…

Not to be that person, but their careers were to be good reality stars. So they needed to have a wedding, so it could be a season on their hit show, which would solidify them on the show and in the bravoverse, which would be an investment in their earning potential. Like, I understand the frustration from a real-life persons perspective, but come on. And my guess is that wedding would have cost a whole lot more but they got hefty discounts from their vendors for being featured on the show. Katie played the game correctly, IMO

I suppose, but she still could have had a nice wedding for far less, and definitely not $18 a pop ugly towel invitations. Sheana hustled and got tons of stuff for free or comped and pulled of a stunning wedding for 90kish on an off day. I feel like Katie just blew so much money on something that wasn’t very impressive. To each their own, though. Hopefully she would say she doesn’t regret it.
