They elope because they want to be married. They do a wedding later because family pressure.

Weddings are expensive and many people don’t want to start their lives out together in debt.

I wanted to move in with my husband at a certain point but was told by my parents that they wouldn’t help pay for the wedding if we moved in and weren’t married. We didn’t have enough time to save for a large wedding, so we had a small backyard wedding with cl

I did this (actually haven’t even had the wedding yet). The reasons were:

-green card
-parents wouldn’t let us move in together unless we were married
-literally, not enough time to plan an actual thing as we work nonstop 24/7
-and the big one: money. We currently put all our earnings into passive investments to retire early. $30k on [the cheaper side] of a wedding, invested after 30 years is $172k. So we always put it from that perspective. Until we have the additional $30k and it won’t hurt us to spend, I would rather invest that money for ourselves rather than some giant party

We eloped because we didn’t want to spend money on a wedding. We wanted to spend the money on a house and the plan is to have a reception or something to celebrate our 10 years

Just wondering, why should one spend 30k on wedding, if one is not after luxury/big parties? Wedding here is really an open announcement and a legal binding/contract. Need not be that expensive unless we want to celebrate in a big way...if the question is, be with someone you love now or after spending all hard earned money to throw a party(which everyone will forget in a month at most)? Will some get hurt for not inviting to a wedding or not throwing a party? Invite them to your home in small groups, send a evening or weekend together, have fun. If they are really your well wishers, they would understand!!

EY4- sometimes is the parents’ way of showing off to the world. My in laws picked up our wedding and invited their friends. $95k all in

Well, if they want to showoff, let them work for it spend their money right. Same thing in my case, my father-in-law wanted to showoff. I did not want to spend too much for wedding. He spent his money for the wedding. I had to burn decent amount though(around 20k ish, because of lack of organizing and planning, really wasted money). I came from a culture where bride’s father pays for everything anyway.

Young/Stupid no clear vision of future!!!

Usually benefits (like wife can be added to hubby’s insurance) but can’t afford the wedding immediately

I am wondering if I can see what other brands say to influencers that they reject? In the program we use we either approve them or reject them. Once they are rejected they get an email saying that they are. I have tried googling a good nice way to reject an influencer but all I get is how an influencer should reject a brand. Not a brand rejecting an influencer. We don’t want to be rude & would like to keep the door open for future collabs if they meet our standards in the future.

Hello all
I am a biology graduate. I worked in cancer research and development for more than two years. Recently moved to Canada, and now I'm wanting to transition into clinical research.
Most jobs I find online ask for atleast 2 years clinical experience.
Does anyone have any tips on how to procure this experience? Should I invest in a course? Or should I volunteer at a CRO?
