“Start thinking early about where to trim costs. Gradually fall out of touch with family and friends for a decade prior to the ceremony.”
Leave it to The Onion to do a perfect job of pointing out just how ridiculous wedding expenses can get. While their tongue might be planted firmly in cheek, take heed at the underlying message: Sometimes this whole wedding planning thing can get out of hand. Your wedding might be burning a hole in your wallet, but The Onion offers some words of “comfort”:
“Rest assured that no matter what you spend on your wedding celebration, it?s still a unique expression of you and your spouse that will be picked apart and scrutinized by your loved ones for years to come.”
