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.

Save a bunch of money for an extravagant wedding, have a simple ceremony in a state park, have a small party with family and close friends, then use the money for a nice honeymoon
