Wedding Bells are ringing

That is what's on my mind right now. No, I am not getting married. Good gracious  , if I did. As if once is'nt enough ha ha.   well it is actually my two sons, whom my wife is planning to get them settle down by next year , and guess who got the asignment of finding out the wedding cost?  I really dont know where to start. I guess maybe I will get some quote ideas from some of the nearby restaurant. I  hope it wont burn a big hole in my pocket. With the cost of living  going up these days, there is no way I can avoid that right?. Maybe a buffet lunch or dinner will suffice? Do we really need to go into all that funfare which we are so accustom to . Why can't we break away from tradition?  I suppose we can't do away with customs. Saw this web site with some useful tips. here. What about guest list.? This will pose one of the biggest headache. We should get invited and who don't??  Would those  whom we left out be offended?   wonder how my mum did it when I got married?
Anyone out there got any better ideas?  Would love to hear from anyone who have experience in  this area.
