Self Improvement

We all know that getting married these days is going to set you back a fortune. Whether you want a little do or a larger do you are going to end up paying an arm and a leg to tie the knot. Even if you dont 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 huge amount of costs involved when getting married at this current time.
1) Buying the perfect dress and suit
2) Planning and booking halls
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 holding back from getting married at the moment, 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 if you believe that the credit crunch is all bad then think again as for some lucky few getting married on a budget is a dream come true.
