Anything you or your wife buy for you wedding is not tax deductable.

Anything a corporation, LLC, or company buys can be treated as an expense as a consumable. I'm not sure what revenue the LLC would have, so it would probably take a loss, which then can be written off on personal taxes as "income/loss from a business."

That's my guess.

No such thing. IRS won't let you reclassify personal consumption as business losses just by creating an LLC for it:

Would the LLC structure also protect him in case they decided to fine him $100 million? It'd probably protect him in case a wild animal bit one of his guests. It's relatively cheap protection when so many things can go wrong.

Yes, it separates financial liability from personal assets. Another good reason that I forgot to mention.

The courts can and often do pierce the veil of sham LLCs like this. The LLCs main use (still bad), is that if LLC1 runs up a debt of a billion dollars, LLC2 might be protected from it.

Wow, even more douchey.
