The lead time for our May 4th wedding day was not particularly long as weddings go. One thing is for sure when it does arrive: The day itself comes and goes like no other. Our event was wonderful with good company, great food, all the essentials and a few extras. It was certainly not the wildly extravagant over the top production many couples can't seem to do without. We're both fine with that, really. The average American wedding costs $26,000, with some soaring past $100,000. Why jump into debt for years over something that's over in an instant? I don't begrudge someone who can afford it, but to us that seems like way too much to spend in one day. What's the biggest issue to divide couples? Money. My new wife and I would rather not get our marriage started with that problem due to a one-day spending spree. How happily you live through the days that follow is what's important.
