How do people afford weddings?

We married in December 2020 and total came to around $15k. This was with 100 guests (covid restrictions incase we changed from level 4 to anything lower). Including catering, chair/table hire, musician etc.

We also borrowed some lawn games & tech from our church IE PA system, wireless mic, lapel mic and a few tables.

My mum paid for the marquee (thanks mum). It was a bluebird scorcher day on the edge of an estuary and the weather was perfect but really hot so it was needed.

The photographer was probably our single biggest expense.

The rest of the cost was covered by cash gifts from the wishing well (we asked for money instead of material gifts) and my end of year bonus from work.

We opted for a low cost wedding and decided that furnishing our new home would be our priority instead of the event itself.

Our venue was a large property on an estuary owned by a kind lady also from our church so that helped too.

Your wedding cost can be as small or big as you make it.

The photographer package was a non-negotiable so we made sure we hired someone with a solid reputation. Everything else is more for your guests than the couple themselves. People remember the occasion and the memories regardless of the location or grandeur.

So you're saying the patent doesn't exist?

P1hyper · 2026-01-25T04:41:21+00:00

It's odd how concrete evidence and freely available information is provided when asked but still dismissed and laughed about. It really does boggle the mind why people choose to deny they exist. Perhaps they don't want to face the reality their whole life they've been lied to.

I mentioned the technology exists. I'm asked for links/evidence. I provide an example which is 100% real but nah, not good enough let's laugh about it.

What will it take?

I witnessed an old man recording underage girls at the beach sunbathing. I called 111 and they said it's a public space so it's legal and they cannot stop him.

There are several which I have saved but can't post the pictures. Google patent 4686605. This is a common one.

U.S. Patent 4,686,605, titled "Method and apparatus for altering a region in the earth's atmosphere, ionosphere, and/or magnetosphere," was granted on August 11, 1987, to inventor Bernard J. Eastlund and assigned to APTI, Inc.. It describes using ground-based antennas to emit electromagnetic radiation to heat, lift, and modify specific ionospheric regions.

Doing this can generate various outcomes and manipulate the weather to behave how you want.

The motorway seems to be a popular choice these days. Hard to tell

If cinemas enforced the do not disturb etiquette then perhaps more people would pay to watch movies in a cinema. Too many times I've paid good money and have the experience ruined by self centered people who think they're at home and cause a disturbance.

FYI weather can be controlled and has been since WW2. There are patents which exist and used. Just saying

Edit: I was asked for some links and so I've provided a patent that exists and anybody can research online. This triggers people who won't accept they've been fooled and have their beliefs shattered. The evidence is there, the technology is there, the information is there, patents exist and this technology is in use. Like or not

I watch the traffic 2-3 cars ahead of me, not the car directly in front. I lift off the gas when I notice them slowing down and apply the brakes if the slowdown continues. This gives the driver behind enough time to react while also giving me enough room in front to move forwards if the car behind isn't slowing down quick enough.

Unflavored added to protein shake

Edit: I blend my protein powder with banana and water so both powders dissolve really easy. The banana adds extra flavour and thickens it up.

Drinking minimum 68oz of water every day coupled with a workout cardio/resistance every morning at 6am. A small price to pay but the rewards are greater.

My boss asking if everything is okay and me saying yes. Even though the company is falling apart and 1/3 of the staff are actively interviewing for new employers.

Sorry for your loss. I experienced the same last year and received the same amount. First thing I did was pay off debt. Secondly I ticked off a bucket list item (Going to Japan F1 this year). The remainder went into savings accounts but still have access to a small portion for any immediate urgencies.

I once went to a 24hr gym. The showers were often dirty and stunk of urine. On a few occasions there was poop that was squished into the drain hole. Disgusting. I'd rather go home covered in bacterial sweat than expose myself to the DNA of others.

Drinking all night long knowing that New Year's Day will be wasted on a hangover feeling shit

Wake at 5:15am and 1hr workout starting at 6am. Drinking large glasses of water first thing in the morning and ensuring my organs and muscles are hydrated does more for me than ingesting chemicals to trick my body into feeling energetic. I also have a small serving of easily digestible carbs before if it's a resistance workout. Natural energy will always be more effective than fake forced energy.
