Ryan Gosling ready to propose to Eva Mendes
We knew it was going to happen at some point. It’s not like any of us normos had a chance, but there was always some hope that we might accidentally wander in front of a taxi, a daring Ryan Gosling would tackle us to the ground and we’d realize the Universe had brought us together for a reason. You can sub in “a daring Eva Mendes” if you’re a straight dude or lady-loving lady, but either way we’ll all be crying in our lovingly illustrated Ryan Gosling coloring books tonight. According to OK! Magazine, Ryan is allegedly “head over heels” and ready to pop the question to Eva. We just need a minute…to set fire to all these pictures of us and Ryan we Photoshopped together. We just had so many empty frames to fill and it made sense at the time. Hindsight is 20-20
According to their source, it’s Mendes who has been the nuptial hold-out. To be fair however, the The Place Beyond The Pines costars have been dating for less than a year and Eva could potentially marry any man on the planet. “It’s something Eva has baulked at in the past but Ryan has a charming way of helping her see a different kind of future,” the source claims. “She’s getting on board with the idea of marriage.” We’re sad now, but we know we’ll get over it the second we see that rock. Or that wedding dress. Okay, it might take a Mendes-Gosling baby, but even we couldn’t resist such a beautiful creation.

Gurl pls
I plan on eloping and blowing like $500 on a really pretty dress. So that will be the whole wedding budget.
And that was the cheap option too, they had a buffet style and it was still 30 bucks a plate. 6000 alone on food. So yeah works out.
Her dress was more expensive than she wanted to spend, I think around 1500-2000. All of the decorations though mostly came from the dollar store.. haha. They also had a candy bar that ended up being a couple hundred bucks.
And you know that cute idea of leaving disposable cameras out and everyone can take photos. I don't recommend it. I had so many shitty pictures from that and everyone took photos of the same damn things.

Weddings are expensive
My friend spent close to $10k on hers and was still paying on it when she was divorcing him.
getting my now- husband (and his stepson) fiance visas to the u.s. to marry me, plus having to pay for our wedding rings cost me around $15k.
His parents paid for the rest, which I think came to about $10-12K
I had about 60 people at my wedding and we ended up spending under $15,000. The food was easily the most expensive part. And even though we didn't spend a ton, it was at a beautiful historic hotel and it was exactly how I wanted it. It is possible to have the wedding you want for less than $30,000. Unless you're just plain wealthy, I don't understand how anyone would have that much to just throw around!
