From $50,000+ price tags to bachelorette parties in Cabo, luxury bridesmaid proposal boxes, and insane expectations for the perfect day, the pressure (and the costs) just keep going up. We’ve totally lost the plot—and it’s leaving people financially (and emotionally) drained before their marriage even starts. Also, in no way am I judging these creators! This is a video talking about the wedding industry and the costs associated with weddings. Their stories are just a good breakdown of how much weddings cost and what to expect if you are getting married in the future.
