The new Dallas Cowboy football stadium is no joke. Well, except for the price tag, which tops more than one billion dollars. And the fact that it looks like a cross between E.T.’s mothership and a pregnant beetle. You can imagine how excited I am to tour this prime example of consumerism in early June, when Chris and I visit the great state of Texas.

One of the ways that the new Dallas Cowboy stadium will pay for itself is by offering the opportunity for couples to get married in one of its many high-end lounges or even on the field itself. While Cowboy reps won’t share the price tag for the three wedding receptions already planned at the stadium, my guess is it’s ever-so-slightly more expensive than a road trip. You know, maybe by a couple of dollars.

Which makes me wonder- what was the most expensive wedding you’ve ever attended? Mine was located at the Fairmont in Washington D.C. and cost a cool $200,000. Hey, engraved matchbooks are pricey and necessary!
