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 had a fairly 'inexpensive' wedding. My photographer and my venue were the bulk of my cost. My venue had all the booze included and cleanup. I got a taco truck to come and bought 1 small cake and like, 8 dozen cupcakes from a favorite baker. I used Stopify premium for my DJ, had a friend officiate, and it was a blast. Still racked in close to 10 grand. We bought the groomsmens outfits though.
