We got in touch with dorkvader23 to learn more.
Since posting the story and its many updates, there have even been a few more events.
A few of us (myself included) are considering bringing our husbands/significant others down as well!
We were forced to book this ridiculous beachfront mansion so we may as well enjoy it!

I want to add that I am not jaded/bitter/or hate weddings.
I just hate THESE kinds of weddings.
Ive been to tons of great weddings hosted by great people.
I think people are pressured to outdo each other on social media, and this applies to weddings.
SILs wedding already costs more than my house, for example.
It works like any other loan, assessing your creditworthiness, income, and debt history.
