It’s not exactly earth-shattering news to tell you that weddings are expensive. Though not married myself, I’ve been a part of more than my share of weddings, and I’ve seen it all – sticker shock on dresses, breakdowns over flower arrangements, and last minute scrambling to make adjustments to an already over-limit guest list. As a matter of fact, stressing about money during wedding planning is the primary reason for most arguments between couples during this time of “pre-wedded bliss”.



Did you know that the average wedding costs a whopping $20,398? I don’t know about you but I certainly don’t have that kind of money just lying around. While I’m sure we’d all prefer that no expense be spared on undoubtedly the biggest day of our lives, it’s awfully stressful to enter into a marriage already saddled with debt due to lack of a sufficient wedding budget. Let’s face it ladies, as important of an event it is, it is still only ONE day.



Wouldn’t it be nice to have a resource to help us maximize our savings on the wedding items that we have to buy anyway? We’ll luck for us, we do!
