How do you feel about expensive weddings?
Hello, my name is Roccio and I'm from Columbia. The question is how do you feel about expensive weddings?
That's a really fun question. Well, I'm not against that, but that's not something I would do. Definitely. I think if you are going to spend a lot of money, you should spend it on yourself, with your partner, take a long trip around the world, around Europe if you want. I think a wedding is going to last one day, one night, and a long trip can last a month if you want. And you are going to visit new places, you are going to eat different food, you are going to have amazing experiences. And I think that's much better than having an expensive wedding for a lot of people.
