Tony Gwynn's Daughter's Wedding was expensive

via media.wetv.com

Hall of Famer Tony the Gwynn's daughter was featured on Platinum Weddings last night.  The budget for the wedding was $500,000 not counting $1.35M in jewelry.  

As I was watching I took note of how much everything costs, just in case I am ever in the position to marry a Hall of Famer's daughter.  The outlook isn't good. Anisha seems to have expensive taste, hopefully her baseball player husband Kennard Jones has a long and prosperous career in the big leagues.

For whatever reason the part that shocked me the most was the Landscape Prep.  They wanted the ceremony in the driveway so they ripped out a fountain and tented the whole thing.  I wish I got $100K every time I pitched a tent.  I cried during the removal of the fountain, but I always cry during weddings.

Item/Service Cost
Engagement Ring $40,000
30 carat earrings $350,000
19 carat bracelet $350,000
Diamond Bangles $500,000
Designer Gown $12,000
Landscape Prep $35,000
Tenting $115,000
Living Chandelier $7,500
Chandeliers $25,000
Bridesmaid Dresses $2,450

Cocktail Hour $75,000
Reception Floral Budget $55,000
Custom Linens $20,000
Wedding Cake $5,000
Groom's Cake $2,500

The groom's cake

looked exactly like a baseball glove. It was a piece of art, albeit expensive art.

That's why the show is called Platinum Weddings.

All of the weddings shown are always at least a half million and up. It’s insane. Some chicks, I believe, would rather have a wedding than a marriage…ya know what I mean?

Completely.

Attracted to the pageantry. I pity the husbands or fathers that have to pay for the weddings of girls who have grown up watching “my super sweet 16”

No love for the Padres

In the photo gallery it says her brother plays for the Brewers

At the time of the wedding

he did play for the Brewers, so it’s not that bad.
