A Boston Globe blogger posted an article on the expenses of getting married and the stress that comes from the financial pressure of keeping up with the Jones.

Some of the comments were wonderful, practical, and could save you $50,000.

One begins:

How to avoid the wedding vampires:
1. Buy a bunch of disposable cameras and put them out around on the tables for guests to click away - provide a bag with a sign for full cameras, ask 2 of your friends to act as photographers as their wedding gift to you, if you want to be sure.

Actually, this looks much nicer than my office. Except for the chair, that is. It has a door, a window, a refrigerator (I think).. I am jealous.

I can't believe how blunt Stewart was. Usually he softens the blows while making the point, but yesterday there were no gloves.. it was full-contact, bare-knuckles punch-fest.

By the time he said "roll 212" I was feeling pity for Jim Cramer--it was like watching Mini-me fight Mohammed Ali (could have been like watching a baby seal getting clubbed. ouch)

This was a huge wake-up call for the financial news networks. I hope CNBC does not "Tucker" Cramer--for all his bluster and mistake, he was still the only guy with enough guts to show up and face the onslaught.
