Welcome to another edition of I Tell You What? How
much did you.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Spend on your wedding? How much was it? Dubs? What'd
you drop on yours? Do you remember?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I was between like fifteen K and twenty I believe
I don't know the exact number.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
I wasn't in control that. I just showed up. You're
still paying for it, though, aren't you? Or did you
get a little.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
So Really, I don't think we are. Oh lucky you,
that's pretty awesome. Mine was eight grand, But I really
don't There's.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
No way you didn't you have like four hundred people there?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
We did. We had a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (00:30):
There's no what did you feed them? Like saltines?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
No TV dinners? It was a pot.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
How did you have a wedding with that?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
That's not a bad idea.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
How did you have a wedding for eight big wedding?
How many?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
We had it at the church and then we had
it at a holiday inn that was about ready to
just you know, that's not it. It's like the Crowned Plaza.
Now they came in and spoofed it up. We had
it in the basement of a holiday inn.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I don't even believe you, No that's true. I don't
think what do you mean? You don't believe? You know?
I just feel like, what's wrong with that? Eight?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
And you like eight grand? So seriously, it was like
eight thousand dollars. But we cut a lot of corns.
Who did a lot of stuff on our own. We
didn't have a wedding planner.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Did each person eat a potato? I mean, I just
don't understand.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
We serve potatoes. Maybe it was the time that he
got married. Is the nineteen fifties?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Come on, that's true? Grand eight grand? Back then with
a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
What's you know how much it costs to get married now?
It's not the averages.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
I bet the average is like twenty five grand.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
What was how much was yours? Can I ask?

Speaker 3 (01:28):
I honestly don't know, Like I don't remember.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
You've got it was only two years ago, you got it.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah, but I don't remember, because like we were.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Somebody else had to pay for that one a because
otherwise you remember that.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
I always remember the eight grand.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Yeah, we did have help from like each of our parents,
so they kind of paid for different things, Like my
parents paid for the food, his parents paid for the
tent that we had, So it was like, and then
we paid for a lot of other things.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
So, hey, you're ripping my people for having Swanson TV dinners.
And you had a tent a tent, We had a building,
we had a structure.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (02:04):
It was a nice tent. It had chandeliers in it.
But we wanted to have it, I know, lamping. I know,
it was like a clamping tent because we wanted to
have it at one of our parents' farms.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
The average wedding now is thirty four grand, that's the
average and for millennials now, for millennials and fifty fifty
thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh no, they don't say gen Z. Gen Z there is.
I don't know if it's it's.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Probably about but gen Z. Now, prices are prices, they
are what they are right now. But gen Z, from
what I'm told, on average, that generation is more into
practical thinking, not saying about ripping ponials in any way,
but they're they're a little more practical. So that means
maybe they would dumb it down. But see, but then
you have like, what's the biggest deal just to get
right to it, as inflation is just through the roof

(02:46):
right now. So weddings are just super super expensive. So
I wanted I was going to ask you guys, if
you jump on talkback, you listen to Cable two on
the iHeart radio app. It's an awesome way to listen
to us, by the way, because you can win a
Thomas rhet autographic guitar just for listening to Cable two
on the iHeartRadio. But jump on talkback, and here's my question.
When did you get married? That's important? Where was it

(03:10):
and how much was it? So when did you get married?
You get married to what twenty fifteen say, and you
get married in Minnesota? And how much was it? And
where in Minnesota? Like was a modemat eyed you get
married in Minneapolis? That kind of stuff, because I'm kind
of doing my own little comparisontats here.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I think after I feel like after the pandemic, everything
got way way more expensive. The wedding industry is already
so special.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Because those people in the wedding industry too had to
make up for lost time. I'm not saying that they
doug them, but there had to be they had to have.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Well, yeah, and everything's more expensive, so they kind of
have to charge more in order to accommodate that. But
then there's also just a lot of things where I'm like,
does this have to be this expensive?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
So inflation is a big deal. But the food, You're right,
it's the food. It's how many people you're bringing and
how many how many pie holes you're filling.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
The funny thing is the food we got.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
It's so lucky because for food for our wedding ended
up being the most cost efficient thing because we found
a local guy who came out and he made super
it's just amazing food. And it was not super expensive.
I mean I think that it was to feed two
hundred something people. I think it was like three grand.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Minnesota would cost about just over a third of what
it would cost in New York to get married. So
in Iowa even less than that. Wisconsin's like the same
as Minnesota, and it's less than the Dakotas.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, so crazy.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
So we got married in October twenty twenty two, and
I think that, I mean, things were really expensive. That's
only a couple of years ago, but things were really expensive.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Then.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
We tried to cut corners as much as we could.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Was just coming out of COVID.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
Yeah, we thought that we'd save money by having it
at one of our parents' farms.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
That was not accurate.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
That's very expensive because when you go to a venue,
venues are extremely expensive. But when you don't do it
at a venue, you not only you need to figure
out everything, Like you need to figure you're out trash cans, tents, bathrooms.
There's like so many things that are provided by a
venue that you don't even think about, and then all
of a sudden you have to think about it.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
You have to like have spaces set up to get.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Ready in and all these and then places for the
cook like the cooking to happen and all this stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Anybody that I don't get the people that have it
a golf courses inside. If you're going to have it
at a golf course, have it outside with a tent,
right and just and then because the restrooms are all
outside because you're on a golf course, Guys use it
outside anyway. Galleys are just they always go off the
green or whatever. If you gotta go, you gotta go.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Do that a lot when they're going on they're golfing guys, Yeah,
see it in the middle of the fairway.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
They don't like, why is the world is not your bathroom.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Well, if you ever notice that, by the way, the
world isn't your toilet.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
That's my line, not my line.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Just because you've said something before, it doesn't mean I'm
stealing it from you, like you don't copyright anything.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
No, I didn't realize stands for.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
The copyright copyright symbol.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
We'll see logo that should be our logo. Nobody could
take our logo. Have the little sea, the little copyright seat,
Chris Carr company.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
We should copyright that, Chris car and copyright yeah company
copyright yeah, So drop it on talkback. How much was
your wedding and if you want to get right to it,
just tell us how much and where it was and
what it was.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
This is just I saw this this morning and I
was just super super curious, and I want to use
them here at different parts of the show. I married
my wife in twenty twenty one at Treasure Island.

Speaker 3 (06:33):
Regards Totino with two hundred and fifty guests for like.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Sixteen Okay, he got married at t I ty twenty
one for sixteen grand.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's pretty dog gone. Good dude, go to Treasure Island.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah, I don't think I could get married at a
casino only because I would take some of our money.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
We're going to play black cast. He'd lose all of it.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
He'd be You'd be opening up those cars right cashing
it and just away.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
The next morning. Lauren be like, where did it go
to change?

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Or maybe me and my wife got married in twenty
fourteen in Hinckley, Minnesota at Toby's.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Spent six or seven.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Grand, but my father in law spent twenty seven hundred
dollars just in beer.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Nice. That's what you get when you have a father
in law from Hudson.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
I didn't know that Toby's does weddings. Toby's is a
sweet place.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
I'm not familiar with Toby's. I remember Toby's. I love
this bar and grill.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
No, Toby's has like has these incredible cinnamon rolls and
it's a good breakfast spot.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Oh I don't know, so drop it on tuckback. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
When Now, when did you get married? Where was it
and how much was it? Very fascinated by this. The
average weddings now, I mean for millennials, over fifty thousand dollars.
I cannot imagine taking so much money away from the
future of my family as opposed to the now. I
love people that live in the now and live in
the day. Don't get me wrong. I think that's wonderful.

(08:03):
But I've always it's just my mindset's different. I've always
been a planner. Yeah, I'm just always like, all right,
if I could take this, And probably because I work
in radio, because you know, dubs, you know any day.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
Baby, Yeah, I mean, it's just it's just the way
it is.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
It's an introdee, it's anything, and with COVID happening, we
all saw it in any industry especially, it's always kind
of been that way to radio.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Any day it could you can be.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Done right, and it's better to have a little something
in the kitty than like, Okay, I just blew fifty
thousand dollars on a wedding and I owe forty five
thousand dollars of it.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Yeah right, and I got no job. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
I think that A big thing that impacts this is
everyone wants to have the coolest looking wedding, and they
see all these things online and they're like, I'll look
at all these cool Instagram moments people are having, and
all they have this this particular photographer and this particular
videographer and all these different things to get these perfect
Instagram moments.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
And oh I need this venue because that's where all
the cool people go and they.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
They play Tommy Topper.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Yeah, they get to that.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I get the answer. AI.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Just get married in a shack, go to a Justice
of the peace, and then just use AI. Fill up
a ball room with all these faces, put your beautiful
mugs up there up on top in front of the
in front of all these people in this grand, gigantic
church like the Basilica or something, and just say, wow,
beat that.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
Look at my wedding. AI wedding. No, why not?

Speaker 4 (09:25):
Because we don't want AI that, We don't want to
give AI more excuses to take over again.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's over, dude. It's all over, dude. It's gonna get crazy.
