The only thing that stresses me out getting married is how much a wedding costs. And apparently, reports The New York Times, paying for the celebration often falls on the bride, the groom, their parents and grandparents.
The Times claims that the average American wedding costs just “north” of $28,000. That’s a lot of money — for a young couple, or parents, or grandparents. Traditionally, it’s the bride’s family who takes care of everything except the rehearsal dinner. But, Abby Ellin writes, a shift toward sharing costs “has been quietly under way for a number of years.” Parents and grandmothers on both sides, as well as aunts, uncles and cousins, are all chipping in.
