Amazing Wedding On A Budget

What if I told you couples are planning an amazing wedding on a budget for under $2500? According to the latest research by mainstream BIG wedding site The Knot, couples are spending an average of $33,931 on their weddings! This amount is truly staggering to me! When I first started researching my book BIG Weddings SUCK! the average price tag for a traditional wedding was sitting at around $25,000 and was increasing steadily! As you can see, it has taken a considerable leap. Would you really rather spend over $30,000 on a wedding day rather than putting a down payment on your first home or investing in your future as a married couple?
