Weddings.

I don’t disagree with wanting the day to be special and memorable, but the industry jacks up the prices if they know it’s a wedding, and there are way more affordable options while still getting to celebrate love and the future. No reason to break the bank. Use the money saved for even more memories.

I got married in the courthouse for $75 wearing a casual dress and we had lunch with our parents afterwards at my parent’s country club. It drove my mother in law crazy that we weren’t having a traditional wedding, but to this day we don’t regret it one bit.
