Why am I not suprised.
Summer is the most popular season to get married and a wedding will likely be the biggest expense a couple faces in their first year of marriage. According to a
newly released Visa survey of 1,000 cardholders, couples who got married in
the past ten years spent an average of $7,873 on their weddings.
Additionally, two-thirds of all respondents said they overspent on
their weddings. Specifically, men (16 percent) splurged on their honeymoons
while women (21 percent) spent too much on food, drinks and wedding cakes,
followed by their wedding dresses (11 percent). Where was money on the
wedding best spent? Respondents answered wedding photos and decorations,
with only 1 percent saying they overspent on those items.
