THIS MONTH IS
Weddings Month -- The "average wedding" these days runs you more than $30,000. Seems high to me, but all the ladies we asked said it was nothing proportionate to the lasting power of the relationship, that is the less the couple spends on the "material" items i.e. the perfect dress, the ice sculpture, the country club reception, the cinematographers, the white doves, stretch limos. The more likely they stay together. Current average expenses:
