Keep Your Fingers Crossed for a Credit Crunching Wedding
We all know that getting married these days is going to set you back a fortune. Whether you want a small do or a massive do you are going to end up paying a big fortune. Even if you don’t opt for a horse drawn carriage to a castle hotel, the costs soon mount up. This is why people now ask for money instead of gifts for their big day.
There is a lot of costs involved when getting married.
1) Buying the perfect dress and suit
2) Organising and booking reservations
3) Catering
4) Transport
5) Flowers
But this does not stop there, because even after the wedding you have to pay for the honeymoon and anything else that comes along with that, including spending money, eating out and the transport around the destination and too and from the airport.
So I know now is the best time to look at getting married, as we already know we are in the midst of a big credit crunch, therefore one niche that will be suffering is the wedding sector. People will definitely be pulling back from getting married at the current time, but I feel that is totally the wrong decision to make, because now in my opinion is the best time to get married.
With companies struggling, everywhere has lowered their rates and you could in fact get married for around 40% cheaper than usual. With the flux of weddings abroad you could also get a good deal on getting married in a different country as flights and hotels have also been dramatically lowered. In fact there are more places to get married than ever before, as lots of hotels and venues that previously did not offer marriage services, have opened their doors to happy couples in order to benefit from additional revenue streams.
So the credit crunch is not all bad, for some people marrying with no costs is a dream come true.
