Earlier this week, Dax Shepard said it cost him $142 to marry Kristen Bell. And last night on Conan, Bell's Bad Moms costar Mila Kunis proudly credited her wedding bands to Etsy. I can hear Kim and Kanye gasping from here.
"He got my a beautiful engagement ring," Kunis told Conan O'Brien of her husband Ashton Kutcher, "like stunning, stunning, stunning, but for our wedding bands for when we got married I decided to just get them off of Etsy." They cost 90 bucks. Bada boom, bada bing.
Excuse me while I have a "she's just like me" moment. Feel free to join in.
I've been with my boyfriend for almost 10 years and it's been smooth sailing as we just kept the wedding on the back burner. But that doesn't mean we don't talk about it. Now, as we near 10 years together and prepare to face some major changes, we're both ready to just, as our friends and family would say, seal the deal already. However, the pressure to put on this amazing event for other people is still enough to make us hide us in a corner. Eloping has never been off the table.

I'm certain I'm not the only one facing this dilemma, and Bell's and Kunis' comments are refreshing reminders that it can be simple and meaningful. As Bell shared about herself and Shepard, "We got married in a tiny room in the Beverly Hills courthouse. It was still one of the best days of my life."
Don't worry, Mom, I haven't eloped. But it's nice to know that simple, cheap weddings aren't beyond the rich and the famous and that there are still people who understand that the commitment is more important than the table settings.
