The costs of weddings are out of control

Not only for the bride and groom but especially for the guests. The average price for a guest to attend a wedding is $539!!(Marketwatch.com)  If a young person attends twenty  weddings over three years that is a cost of  $10,000.Here is the real kicker also from Marketwatch.com ….

Even so, the pressure to attend the wedding of a close friend or family member can be so strong that guests will go into debt to be there: 36% of people say they’ve gone into debt to attend a friend’s wedding, according to the American Consumer Credit Counseling, a non-profit financial advisory in Auburndale, Mass

Can’t even comment on this one.
