Omg, I just read wh
at Ramit Sethi posted about weddings and I just had a heart attack. According to him:
The average age at marriage is about 27 for men and 26 for women. We know that the average amount of a wedding is about $28,000. So, if you agree with this choice — and you don’t want to go into debt for your wedding — here’s how much you should be saving.
So by these calculations if I’m 23 I should be saving $583 a month. Yikes.

Ouch – The number may not be as bad as you think! If you assume that the guy you’ll eventually marry has the same propensity to save as you do, then you’ll only have to save half the amount! Bingo!
Or, you could just marry rich…
Yes, but I want 300 guest, not 150! So he’d better save the same amount.
You’re right, I should find a rich guy.
don’t feel bad– I’m supposed to be saving $778 a month… backyard wedding here I come. :o)
It wouldn’t be an Indian wedding without at least 300/400. :)
