Maybe I shoulda stuck to journalism. Two months ago I wrote an--admittedly a little bit snarky*--entry about discount weddings on Das Wedding Blog. Now Smart Money's web site published a story about the same topic, comparing prices of invites, cakes, flowers etc between high-end and discount sources (such as Costco and Walmart): "Battle of the Warehouse Weddings."I will admit that at this point I must ingest a bitter little slice of humble pie. The article's section about wedding bands explains that there isn't really any difference between bands bought at Costco and bands bought at a local jewler. Except for the fact that a ring purchased at the latter will ring up at $400 bucks but cost $157 at Costco. And the fact that buying a wedding band at Costco is janky. I kiiid! Not janky. Thrifty. Yep.
*No, really!
