Wonder who gets to pay the loan off in a divorce??

Just add it to the alimony payment

No. Just, no.

My last wedding (in 2007) was before the justice of the peace in the County building in Chicago. I forget what we paid, but it was minimal. I think transit to and from might have cost as much--- we took the CTA train.

Running yourself head over heels in debt for rings, the wedding, the party afterwards and so on cannot be excused in today's marriage climate. That kind of debt has a way of destroying the marriage, as it happens. A number of marriages fail because of monetary woes, and this sure wouldn't help that problem.

I literally cannot comprehend why anyone would take out a loan of $30,000 just to fund a bloody wedding. Surely such people shouldn't be allowed to take out any loans in the first place, as simply by doing so they demonstrate their great financial ineptitude.

But every bride deserves HER SPECIAL DAY!!! /s

Holy fuck, cool, add that to your student, car, and house loans. It's amazing how guys are so willing to fuck themselves for the rest of their life.

Wedding loans will do to wedding expenses what student loans are doing to tuition. The easy access to leveraged capital is what will drive wedding expenses through the roof ($5,000 extra for the chocolate fountain? SWEET let's just up our borrowed total a little bit, we'll an extra $5.00 a month for the next 10 fucking years.)

I'd sure like to profit off of stupidity, how do I get into this?

"Should you jump on the Bandwagon?"

More like... is your financial health and well being about to jump the shark?

I think this shit has been going on at least as long as women have been able to get credit cards.

I know more than one bloke who got married and during the leadup gave some schpiel about how his fiance (the bride) was paying for "half" the wedding, etc... only for him to find out after the fact that her idea of "paying" for something was charging it across a half dozen different credit cards (and of course worse was that most of her "half" was ridiculous shit like her $X,000+ wedding dress, etc. -- whereas his "half" was paying the hall rental, catering, band, etc.)

So basically the groom ends up paying for the entire wedding, and more... the whole ruse of her "paying half" was really just her way of NOT having him scrutinize or control or even set ANY limit whatsoever on the spending she was doing for her "special day".

Most of them won't readily admit that they fell for that "sucker-play" -- but it sort of becomes obvious when after they get back from the honeymoon... all of a sudden (and for the next year or more) -- and despite the boatloads of shit they got as wedding presents (including probably not a small amount of cash)... he/they "can't afford" anything anymore (despite the fact that they're both still working, and they've combined residences, etc -- so they OUGHT to have lots of extra cash, what with only having to pay ONE rent bill, ONE utility bill, etc).

And yeah technically it should be "HER" debt to pay off; but the reality is that "hubby" ends up paying for it all ... one way or another.

car loan(shitty "family" car) + school loan(hers) + mortgage(bigger!) + wedding loan + divorce + alimony + child support = Holy Fucking Shit. NO WAY BITCHES, over my dead body

Since the brainwashed little lapdog is thinking that this is the happiest day of his life till death do us part he will spend all of his and the banks money in order to cater to her needs. Unfortunately for the rest of his life, literally.

Eventually he will come out of his coma and ask himself what went wrong along the way, but by then the train has left the station and is heading straight to alpha fuck town.

By all means, start your marriage $30,000 in debt. My parents didn't know what they were missing: they were married at City Hall.

Yep, my ex and I first agreed to a small wedding with close family. Then, it slowly kept growing. There ended up being over 100 people. I kept trying to tell her this isn't what we agreed to and we can't afford this. Basically it turned into we are doing it this way or not at all. By then, thousands of dollars had been spent. Wasn't enough for her. I owned my car outright, title in hand. She wanted to take a loan out and use the car for collateral. Which I stupidly agreed to. The marriage lasted not even 2 years, and now I am stuck with a 3k loan on my car that was previously paid off. The court will not split the debt between us because apparently, this was a gift from me. Even though she signed off on the loan as well, and in turn refinanced her car as well, and put me on that loan. We eventually had taken out more money on the car, it got us better interest rates by splitting her car debt onto both cars. So, at this point, my car that is worth about 3k, has 10.5k of debt on it. Now we are divorcing. They only reason I agreed to any of this was because we did the paperwork in a way that I basically own half of her car too. Now at trial, surprise surprise! She wants me to keep all of the debt on my car, while she drives a 35-40k subaru LL Bean special edition. For the past year I have been essentially making half of her car payment, not to mention the wedding portion was paid off by me and the only remaining debt is only from refinancing her subaru. She pays less than 200 a month, to drive an almost 40k car and the court is probably going to let her do it, while I file bankruptcy. Prenups guys, prenups...

Let the saps sink themselves early. I care not.
