People spend too much money on wedding rings

Too much on weddings...

The USA government considers marriage a tax and law advantage. Thats all it is. A mutually agreed upon union to gain a capital advantage. Don't blow your savings to play dress up and get your family drunk. Don't throw a party for everyone.

Marry the one you love for the $35 marriage license and be done with it. You still end up being married, with tax benefits. Yes you won't have the memories of stressing yourself out just to go through with it, but you will still have your money, and a better chance at having a good life with your piece of shit spouse that only works to spend your remaining time and money driving you into the ground until you get the courage after 4 years to stand up and divorce them. Luckily for you, you saved a bunch of money to pay your lawyer.

I'm tired. Good night everyone.
