The Cost Of A Wedding


The average wedding in Canada costs $26,000.

I know that as a rather frugal guy that many may disagree with me, but I believe that $26,000 may be a little too much to spend on one day.  I have been happily married for over 12 years now, and we had a fairly simple wedding, but we had a lot of friends and family celebrate it with us in a pretty simple setting.  Our total cost was under $4,000.  I have trouble picturing starting off married with the added debt of a super expensive wedding, or saddling any parents with those costs.  We had enough debt with student loans that we sure didn't need to add more to it.

But for those who are planning for the big weddings, the following 2 links can help you control and even reduce your costs.  Always remember that as important as that one day is, all the days after it are even more important.
