Please, get over it.”

I just wanted to point out that you may have overlooked some of the expenses.

When someone posts something like, “They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to say ’till death’, but Mormons spend hardly anything and say ‘for all eternity.’ Oh, the irony.” it comes off to me as a bit sanctimonious – and I thought you could use the correction.

Ok, now I’m over it.

Even if I’m tithed on everything I’ve earned over the course of my life, it still would not add up to the ridiculous amount of money some people spend on their wedding day. My whole point (which obviously sparked this controversy that you seem to be obsessed with) was about the money spent on the wedding day, not a lifetime of service to one’s church. If we’re going to get into that tiniest bit of semantics and detail, then I guess we need to translate time spent in callings into money that could have been earned. Sheesh! It was just an observation. Please, get over it.

If it’s all His anyway, why don’t you pay 20% tithing?

You’ve got a balance sheet for that, I take it? =)

And the blessings I get from the Lord way outweigh anything I have to pay in tithing.

Oh that’s right! Ok, I knew that (well remember it now, actually some of the little specifics I don’t recall, except for some weird reason my wedding dress fit perfectly the week before we were married and then was way loose the day we got married! what’s that all about??? lol), Kim wrote the post he didn’t know all the specifics :)

I too have a testimony of tithing and would pay it regardless of going to the temple. Tithing is something that requires a testimony and certainly isn’t payment for a temple recommend.

Only that payment of tithing is a requirement to get the recommend, while putting your kids in daycare is not a requirement in order to get a tax deduction.

What else did you guys pay for?
