How are people able to afford weddings?
January 6th, 2010 | by admin |Kanyeen O asked:
My really good friend is getting married next year, so I’ve been doing research around the cost of planning, and the figures are like north of 25K. I want to get married in 2012 if possible (fingers crossed), but the cost of a wedding scares me. How are people able to afford weddings? The cost of the average wedding is higher than the median income in the US. What are good ways to cut costs?
