And I suggest trashing the dress to get even more cool picures. :) When it’s all over, the only thing left is the dress and the pictures.

We spent less than $2,000 on our wedding and it really was a very beautiful wedding - everything you would hope for in a wedding. We ended up writing a downloadable book to teach other couples with financial restraints (that's most of us!) how to plan their own on-budget, financially responsible Dream Come True Beautiful Wedding. As we tell others about our wedding, the knee-jerk reaction from some people (and perpetuated by some servants of the wedding industry) is that our wedding must have been somehow deficient. They don't have a reason for thinking this - it is just an assumption they make based on how much we paid. The truth is that a creative bride and groom who place limits on their budget and creatively consider how they can still reach their goals can produce what most people would consider an average or above-average wedding (we'll just let them assume that we spent $30,000! ) Thank you for your enlightening article.

Should a survey be what does the average person spend on a wedding or what is the overall average costs of all weddings. Depending on how you read that, it could mean the same thing or totally different things. Is a multi-million dollar celebrity wedding part of the bell curve? That could easily skew the "average wedding cost" but it is certainly not the typical spend of the "average person". Kerry Garrison http://L7Studios.com Statistics like these are difficult at best.
