Couples charge you to attend their wedding
Source: Clark Howard Show
Getting married anytime soon? There is a trend going on in the wedding industry that may leave you wanting to tie the knot…around the couple’s throat. Couples are now billing guests for the cost of their wedding. One couple, featured recently in the Wall Street Journal, was planning to spend $51,000 on their wedding. So they decided to charge people $150 a head – or $300 a couple. They were quoted as saying that people don’t understand how much it costs and they need to help out. What nerve! There are even a half dozen Web sites that take contributions for attending weddings. In Clark’s opinion, that’s an attendance fee. What happened to treating your loved ones to a meaningful ceremony? Living in different areas of the country can affect the cost of a wedding. For example, the average wedding in the NY area costs $38,000 while the average wedding anywhere else is about $17,000. But you don’t have to spend that much if you do your homework.
Would you pay an attendance fee for a friend or family member's wedding? Aren't you already paying the price with the wedding gift?
Ridiculous. |

Who started this trend?
I say Black people who were tired of having their guests show up without a gift. |

It's OK. When the state of California permits legal gay marriages, you and gimme_a_vicodin can charge admission at your wedding. Just make sure it is most entertaining to us. |

That still wont work, unless they allow multiple marriages. |

Okay, so you can move to Utah when they allow same sex marriage. |

I'm sorry to take it out on you. We had a horrible breakup. I said some things and he said some things that shouldn't have been said. This was the day before the big day and now he's run away. I'm thinking about putting up billboards to help find him. I hope he wasn't abducted... |
