Millennial couples feel cash crunch as wedding costs rise due to inflation | ABCNL

[@Jams90.]

It’s simple. Just don’t have a huge wedding and put the money on a down payment for a home. Smart!!!!

@liavang6084 100% soon no one will care to “keep up with the Joneses”, everything will go back to backyard/park weddings. The pandemic, as tragic as that was, showed us it could be done and that we could edit when needed..No one worried about “appearances”. Nothing wrong with Prosecco/Ginger Ale/ Strawberries/Cake! I think it would be super chic! 🥂

Make parents pay for everything until you are 30, smarter

[@1c2h3e4u5n6g]

I’ve never believed that blowing a huge chunk of cash on one day is smart. Better off having a small intimate wedding just having fun with people you actually like having around, and putting the money towards things that impact on you day to day

Weddings are a joke

Please end this stupid world and get it over with😞

[@kashawhyte9311]

Ffs….no one needs to have a ridiculously huge wedding…or even get married at all🙄

[@englishrose4388]

Average wedding cost in Tennessee is $69,000?! Wow. Absurd. That supposed to be the cheaper part of the country.

[@NONEISH]

it actually cost very little to JUST get married.

homeless marriages dont last long

[@majorseventh2699]

Elope, way more fun and exciting, sometimes...take the $30k and pre-pay the kids dentist and college tuition and nobody needs six crock pots from the wedding gifts anyway.

another reason why millennials will not get married the cost of weddings.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Well that's fine. I've been with my boyfriend for 21 years. We don't need the paperwork 🚫

[@sapphirelane1714]

Lol, you do know a wedding is optional, right? I’m a millennial, but I spent $75 for my wedding. Just go to the courthouse.😂

@@sapphirelane1714What did you do after the courthouse wedding?

[@MH-eu1dr]

I’m technically a millennial but I’m probably closer to Gen X than millennial. Anyway my wife and I got married in Vegas for something around 500 dollars total which included a post nuptial dinner. YOLO I guess.

[@faerierosepress4133]

That’s what I just spent and I got married a couple of weeks ago.

[@MH-eu1dr]

@@faerierosepress4133 I will buy you a beer or two with all the money I saved if you are ever in Vegas. I’ll bring the wife too!

[@ClashHQ12]

There's something mentally wrong with those women, where are their husband?

[@AnythingJW]

what a waste of money on wedding... especially half the people will end up divorce

[@meagain6008]

Little confused at the reporting here...some of these couples definitely are NOT "millennials" but I get what you are trying to convey. Best part @5:19 WE DID WHAT WAS AUTHENTIC TO US. That will cut cost every time - as many wedding planners seek to fill their portfolios, timelines, clicks per view as well as their pockets with the "trending" wow your guest speech. $69k...😔 Congratulations though! ❤️

[@ronjohnson9032]

I thought that the media told us that inflation is going way down?🤔

[@joypainlovelaughter6618]

Stop having these opulent weddings and focus on the meaning of the day and your life together. Its just a party. Keep it simple and invest that money in a wonderful honeymoon to create memories, and put the bulk remaindet in assets that will yield a RETURN for your future together.

[@devildoll9929]

I'm weeping.

[@arveedibira2454]

yeah.. just do an intimate/simple 1... put the money into a nice honeymoon instead😁

[@MoneyMan28]

Don't marry, bezoz lost $50 Billion to gf

[@duckhunt1902]

Thanks joe....

[@ThisisAngieM]

Get married and do the wedding you'd love to have...this is the only life you'll have

[@MH-eu1dr]

Right. But I’d rather enjoy it marginally throughout the entire of it. I don’t want to front load my joy in my 20s and 30s only to be doing Uber eats at 70
