Is it a good idea to "take out bridal loan" or "borrow against 401K" to pay for wedding?

I found myself thinking this advice is ridiculous:

For what we know about marriage in the modern day Babylon, it's retarded .

I find the whole idea of a marriage in general to be ridiculous lol.

Taking out a loan for the wedding that he will still be paying on when she leaves him in yrs or less and takes half his net worth as well?

No thanks!

Weddings are just glorified d*ck measuring contests now and it totally destroys any kind of romance or sincerity in the occasion. I honestly feel like almost everyone I know that's getting married at the moment is just trying to passive-aggressively surpass the Joneses.

I know a member of my family who is getting married at a huge ceremony hundreds of miles away from her home (with some flimsy pretense that it was near where she was born). It's going to be in a massive cathedral and she wants all her guests to travel up there, even the frail and elderly.

But merely having a wedding is not enough, there also have to be 3 different big sub-ceremonies, 3 different pre-wedding parties and a post-wedding party. And THEN the honeymoon. Wut.

It's costing a huge amount that she can't really afford, her choice of husband is kind of dubious and I find the whole thing perplexing. If you love someone just have a fairly nice wedding somewhere scenic, why does it always have to be "You're having two parties, so I will have THREE! HAHA F*CK YOU I'M BETTER!"

Some African/Mid-East/Asian culture pay up to 300 000$ for a wedding.

Wedding are still considered " status symbol"

If you have to borrow money, loan, takeout investments for a wedding... Its a sign you shouldnt marry or probably have a smaller venue.

It's cool having a party, stupid to create debt for it.

The size of the wedding is not correlated to it's success or love

Don’t do it. The wedding does not have to be expensive. Believe me you will regret it.

I don't think it's a d!ck-measuring exercise, but rather a "final exam" sh!t test.

Why people blow 1000s of dollars to feed and booze up 200+ people, half of whom they will never see again is beyond me.
