In one of my previous posts, I mentioned that we looked at having a wedding on a boat. At the time, I thought that it was outrageously expensive and would ruin our budget planning! I thought to myself that it was one of those things where someone (in this case, my fiancee) took you somewhere because they wanted to go but you did not. The price was so high that I almost got mad for even going. I know that it was absolutely not the right attitude, but I just could not help it! My fiancee also thought the price was kind of high, even though she clearly wished we could have our wedding there.

The price includes a very nice boat, which had a 100 person minimum requirement at $14,231.38 for the entire wedding. Maybe someone can tell me whether or not this is high, since I’m not so experience with weddings but here is the detailed quote.

This is a tremendous amount of money! After some careful consideration though, I decided to tell my fianc? to call the company up and book a spot! I did however asked her to keep the total under $10,000.

I believe it can be under $10,000 because we really only want to invite about 50 people. This means that all the line items that have 100 beside it will be cut in half. We will also be looking at a smaller boat that does not have the 100 people minimum requirement, thereby cutting the Yacht price of $3,337 by a little bit more.

I also told my fiancee that I will be paying for the wedding. For those that are wondering why I’m willing to spend so much money on the it. I realized that my fiancee really wants to have a wedding on the boat and you can put no value to making someone you love happy, not to mention that this is a once in a lifetime event.
