In our culture the wedding can turn into a pretty big affair. The average wedding in tht US for 2011 can cost up to $27,800! Well I am not sure what those numbers are for LDS weddings, but I think I can make a pretty safe bet they are lower.
But what can be the problems with a higher costing wedding?
1) You may need to post-pone the wedding in order to have the money for the wedding. This may lead to arguments and conflicts, that could carry into your marriage.
2) DEBT: I put this in bold because it is a really big deal! Planning a wedding is stressful enough, don't add debt to the pile!
3) Parents could go into debt for the couple. This can cause SO MANY problems. The husband may feel that he is in-debted to the parents because they spent so much on the wedding. It may even make the bride depend more on her family rather than her spouse.
So what is the solution?
Rememeber that you are planning a MARRIAGE and not just a wedding. The wedding is at tops a week event, but Marriage-- that is for life and for ETERNITY!
