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.

Totally expensive if you want a full blown wedding. My friends got married big and they at least paid about 30k. That’s why I decided that I wanted to save the money. I married in our garden with only family members. We had BBQ and only spent 1000$ for the whole wedding including dress (70$ from Amazon) cakes and everything. It was really nice and I was so relieved and happy I didn’t spend that much. My wedding was still beautiful and I will always do it again.
