But weddings are also something else. They are big business. Each year over 4 million couples in the U.S. say "I do". That's a pretty impressive number, but the fact that the average amount spent on these weddings is over $25,000 is almost unbelievable. It's also something else...absolutely absurd. There is absolute no plausible reason for spending that kind of money on a wedding even if you (or your dad) can afford to. Why would you do that considering the fact that it is completely possible to have a lovely, tasteful wedding for a fraction of the cost? Yes, it's true. You can get married in style without going into debt, 'robbing' your parents' retirement fund or starting your married life in a state of poverty (or at the very least, a stretched budget). Within the pages of this book you will find suggestions for cutting the costs of getting married without skimping on beauty and elegance.
