Is it just me or are weddings getting more extravagant and expensive each year? It seems that everyone wants to top everybody else. It’s no longer solely focused on the whole aspect of loving your spouse forever, it’s about having the most amazing wedding ever, that everyone will forevermore remember. The memory of your wedding may last longer than your actual marriage.
The trend can be seen quite clearly in the media. You here of stars spending millions on just their wedding rings (got to have the biggest rock in Hollywood). Shows like: Say Yes to the Dress, Rich Bride Poor Bride, and Battle of the Wedding Designers; are feeding a new generation of girls who are already imaging their perfect day which comes with a cost. That cost isn’t even known to these girls! The wedding industry is pushing to gain more money, and its working!
On average, a newlywed couple in Canada, spends $20 000 on their weddings. That’s a lot of money! The cost for just the wedding dress of the bride alone can range from $500 to $10 000 (or more). Not to mention the cost for location, photos, food and drinks, invitations, decorations, transportation, rings, and the list goes on and on and on.....
Better start saving up soon!
And then all you’ll need to worry about, is saying “I do!”.

See for me, I wouldn't care so much about all the material stuff, marrying someone would mean that I've found someone who I love and who wants to be with me for the rest of their life. That is the most "extravagant" thing.
I (Melissa) completely agree. realistically however, materialism always seeRs to reign supreme. I mean what little girl doesn't dream about her fairytale wedding or the beautiful white wedding dress she will wear down the aisle one day?
I know I did and still do, as well as looking into my future husband's eyes and the love we will share.
