Many people want their wedding day to be special and memorable. Most often, that requires some serious financial commitment. According to The Knot, the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. in 2023 was $35,000. So, if you want your big day to be nice, you better prepare to drop some serious cash.
Interestingly, some couples choose the crowdfunding route. One person took to social media to share such a wedding plan made by their acquaintances. The couple, who apparently “don’t believe in the institution of marriage but like weddings,” made a registry and asked for more than just contributions towards the venue, catering, honeymoon accommodations, and the photographer. Curious whether this is the norm, the OP asked other Redditors their opinion.
