$30,000!?
by An Ordinary Man (the novel)
CNNMoney reported today that the average wedding now costs $30,000. How can one day cost so much outside of a cardiac ICU unit? And what do most couples fight about? Money. So let’s start our journey together by throwing away the price of a car, a significant portion of student loan debt, or a down-payment on a house because, goddammit, we have to put on a front. Fools. There’s no other word for it. Agree to a $30,000 wedding and you are essentially agreeing to a divorce, unless one or both of you come from pretty serious money. The only saving grace here is that this is the average, not the median, so a few mega-buck weddings skew the stats quite a bit. But seriously, what couple couldn’t make better use of that money?

Weddings are a huge industry. I want something simplistic, surrounded by those that are in my lives daily.
