Getting Married? Don't Fall Into the Same Trap That Hurts Almost Half of Americans

It's no secret that getting married is an expensive prospect. From catering fees to flowers to photography, the cost of a wedding can be borderline astronomical. In fact, the average U.S. wedding costs $33,391, according to The Knot, and that's for an affair with 100 to 150 guests. If you're having a larger event, your expenses could climb beyond that point.

That said, you don't have to spend $33,000 and change in order to tie the knot. In fact, in a recent survey by Novi Money of 1,000 people who got married in the last 10 years, 44% spent less than $5,000 on their weddings.
