THIS MONTH IS
Weddings Month — The “average wedding” these days runs you more than $23,000! Seems high to me, but all the ladies we asked said it was nothing. I ask you this, why is it that the cost of weddings is going up and the number of couples staying married is going down? Maybe the cost is proportionate to the lasting power of the relationship, that is the less the couple spends on the “material” items i.e. the perfect dress, the ice sculpture, the country club reception, the cinematographers, the white doves, stretch limos. The more likely they stay together. Current average expenses:
- Wedding dress: $1,450
- Cake: $410
- Music/DJ: $971
- Reception: $14,540
- Flowers: $1,500
- Honeymoon: $6,000
- Bachelor party $800 (mostly $1′s and $5′s!)
This is supposedly the average……..what do you think?
