1. The wedding industry is called an industry for a reason.
2. The average wedding costs $27,832.
3. In 2005, a New York couple charged their guests $150 a head to help them pay for their $51,000 wedding.
4. 70,000 job cuts at major firms were announced today.
Yeah, I can totally see that in NYC. Weddings are crazy expensive here. But now I bet you could sneak into the old Lehman offices and do your party there.
I know so many people who are cancelling their weddings cuz they don’t have the cash. But then I also have friends spending 40K so- I guess it’s not effecting everyone.
I think I should be paid to go to your wedding.
Mine was 50K in San Diego.
My wedding cost $40,000. When I think about it now, it makes me cringe.
The charging for a wedding thing reminds me of that moment in “Father of the Bride” when Steve Martin tells his wife that they should consider asking people not to eat at the wedding.
