amy adams thinks weddings are a waste of money
spoiler alert: she's right
Amy Adams thinks weddings are a waste of money - but still wants to tie the knot.
The 'Master' actress is engaged to Darren Le Gallo and while she wants to get married, she can't help but think it's a lot of money to spend on just one day.
She explained to PEOPLE magazine: 'Weddings are not a good value and I like good value. Still, I'd be disappointed if we didn't have one.'
Amy also revealed she is less focused on her career since becoming a mother. The 38-year-old star gave birth to the couple's daughter Aviana in 2010 and says the youngster is now the most important thing in her world, leaving work in the shade.
She said: 'I love my work but I'm becoming more successful at leaving it behind when I'm at home so my daughter feels I belong to her and not the world.'
Amy recently admitted Aviana hates seeing her go out to work and she wants to do more to put her family first, without leaving herself unfulfilled.
She said: 'I'd like to focus more on spending time with my daughter. My idea was to work a lot when she was young and when she started to be more aware of what was going on, I'd do less.
'She's a little less impressed with me working all the time now. Her lips are starting to turn down when I leave.
'But I have scripts I like and people I want to work with. This can be a fleeting time and I want to take advantage of as much as I can. But I also want to achieve a little more balance. I don't want to look back with any regrets.'

tbh, though, lately I've been thinking I want a small destination wedding and just invite the people I really want to spend time with. sounds way more fun to me, with less stress.

She was great in The Master though. I wish her character was the leader instead of PSH.
she was really interesting, but they spent no time on her, she had some deep shit going down inside her that i wanted to learn more about
I just want a fluffy dress and gifts. Screw that other rubbish.
i just want to buy a wedding dress for fun
I decided I'm going to the courthouse get married and then go off to my honeymoon where I'm gonna have a wedding for 2 in Scotland (Loch Ness) with my husband, a photographer, an officiant and my beautiful dream dress.
And I will have the money to extend the honeymoon and go to London, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Budapest and Vienna after that.
It's gonna be half the budget and everything is gonna be just for the two of us.
I didn't give a crap about the cake or who sat where, or what types of pictures we had, or whatever. We went to a (free) park to take some (free) pictures, then us + our family + a couple friends all went to a restaurant where I'd reserved a (free) room and we did a super quick 'ceremony' after everyone got drinks, then we all ordered from the menu and my husband and I paid for it.
I got the husband, the dress, and no stress over non-important (to me) details. Everyone came dressed casually and comfortably and we just had a good evening.
Plus, I'd rather save the money for an awesome honeymoon in Europe.
Are other weddings like this or is it just something my brother's spoiled fiancee is doing?
I'd be trying to hide that shit from people because the people I know would judge me hard.

Should have splurged on that premarital counseling
1. food
2. dress
3. photographer/music
lol
1. photography
2. cake/food - because I WANNA EATTTT
3. venue/music - bc without it the party sucks
1. Food + open bar
2. Photography
3. Venue
In total, we spent about $20k in CASH (that we saved for 2 years) and ended up making nearly half of it back.
Why anyone would charge anything for a wedding is beyond me.
I look ugly as hale in photos so ours better have some magical Photoshop skills or something
that is so fucking bizarre and far from my own world. You can bet your ass whatever dress I wear will be under $1000. A $1000 dress sounds super expensive to me.
The honeymoon and pictures are def the most important thing to me!

btw love your icon :)
I ended up finding my dress at another store, marked down from $2500 to $500 because it was 'last season'. I don't give a fuck what season it is, at that price I'm going to buy it!
I can't even imagine not having my dress made for me when that day comes, but I want something so simple and easy that if it's not being made by my mom it better be under $300.
on an engagement gift to her own fiance
and the wedding dress is vera wang and cost about $15,000. so unreal.
