Why Weddings Should Not Burn A Hole In Your Pocket October 12, 2012

Many couples have regrettably built their dream weddings upon debts due to the lack of knowledge, guidance, or simply, experience. The wedding industry, much like most other industries, has its own unique rules of engagement with vendors and merchants. Many unsuspecting and unwary couples have fallen prey to selling tactics and found themselves in debts that take them months or even years to repay.
The media has also played a large part in distorting our view of romance, wedding and marriage. Not everyone needs or can afford an elaborate wedding complete with paparazzi-style photography to capture the moment. Memorable and beautiful weddings can be found in every budget and every style.


Couples, who are willing to plan according to a value-based budget, can make their wedding not only meaningful, memorable, and enjoyable, but also affordable. And while the wedding lasts only one day, the positive things a couple can learn from planning well can last a lifetime.


So, look forward to the following interesting topics during the session:
• How much does one really need to spend?
• What goes into a wedding and what are the wedding essentials?
• 3 Steps to setting the budget
• 5 ways to stretch your money
• 1 simple way to make your marriage last
