Since you told me that you don't want an academic style...

If you were When given a lot of money when you get married.....

If I were given enough money, I would choose to rather plunked down buy on a house rather than use the money on my wedding ceremony.

In my opinion, Weddings do not need to be very fancy. This is because that the meaning of My wedding is not based on about the ceremony; but based on me, and based on the person I our love. As a result, there is no necessary to spend too much money on the wedding ceremony. Why a pretty penny earned from us? Silly isn't it? 

In contrast, buying Getting a house would be more practical useful. First of all, my wife and I The two of us would have a new place to live and enjoy. , so we could enjoy the new environment and we wold feel happy everyday, thereby enhancing our relationship after marriage. On the second place, Then house it would benefit the growth of be a nest to my future kids. Normally, they would be more likely to invite their In time, they will invite their classmates and friends to visit the house and classmates over to and have parties in it. This would develop the social skills of my children and I think it is of great importance to their all-around development. What a safe haven to develop their social skills.

On the other hand, a house would be a necessity for my future family, but it seems quite difficult for me to buy a house, when I get married. It is partly because I would not have enough bank savings and partly because the price of a house might much higher than now. That is to say, If I could own a house, I would have little economic pressure.  Owning a home is difficult at the time of marriage. I just don't have enough savings and the price a bit more heftier.

If I can choose to do other things with the money, I would donate part of them to some poor areas of my country. By doing this, the children there could receive better education and improve their living standards. Oh... What I can do if I were to have more of these lovelies!  I can donate some to the poorer areas in my country to help the children there to get a better education and a livelihood.
