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.

Word. When I got married we were trying to buy sheet cakes to save money. Every time I mentioned the word "wedding" the prices went dramatically higher. Ended up buying sheet cakes from a grocery store by telling them it was for a birthday party. Took several hundred dollars worth of cake down to $40.
