Agree. More than half of a class in the old satmer school in Williamsburg gets married in Pardes, which is around 5k per side. The new satmar just opened their new hall, which costs 13k for both sides together and it includes flowers, photographer, singer, musician and badchan.
70-100k is definitely more than the average cost for a chasuna in Williamsburg

Why do they need furniture for $30k in their tiny starter apartment?
That in itself is $60k right there!!! I won't even touch upon the others. It's beyond insane to have such societal expectations, even more so now when so many are struggling immensely with finances.
It's beyond insane. It's sickening. |
It's not everywhere
In England theres no furniture sets given
I gave a watch and becher

Continental is a wedding hall (עולם) in Williamsburg. It’s considered to be high end.

don’t spoil young kids. They don’t know what they want |
This is such a sad scenario.
Smart parents buy second hand.

This exactly. You can have furniture for an entire apartment for 5-6k. Linens, appliances etc for max 3 k. Lets say you wanna splurge and get top brand washing machine, dryer, dishwasher Miele..makes sense because it should last. Fine 5k.
If ppl can afford then yes obviously they can splurge, furniture will last a long time. But if you can't afford, then you can't. So many people in Israel living in poverty, raising lots of children in tiny apartments and hardly have money for food. I dont think spoiling newlyweds with unnecessary luxuries is the way to go.

Sensible! How many people did you have at the dinner? It sounds very very cheap. We can't make a bar mitzvah for under 6-10k in England. Well technically people do but they cater it themselves then.

Do newlyweds really need a dishwasher?
And three or four wigs? How many heads does she have?

So you mean that when you say a 55k wedding it's really 110k wedding? Are the other prices given also just one side?
