This whole wedding planning business is pretty stressful and the prices for everything are upsetting, but these were so far out of any normal person's budget that I laughed out loud.

With those prices I guess it doesn't matter that my wedding will be at least 300 people if I don't want to alienate anyone from my family. Is there good size ranch next door that I can rent for like $100?
I'm not surprised nor outraged at the prices for having a wedding at the Oheka castle. A lot of money goes into restoring and maintaining those places...
Plus, what were you expecting? It's a castle for crying out loud--not a rec center. They even shot that movie "The Others" there, so it's no ordinary location.
