Are Wedding Costs Keeping People From Getting Married?

Are wedding costs keeping people from getting married? It certainly seems to be playing a role!

If you're married, you can probably relate. If you've ever even been to a wedding, you can relate to how expensive it can be. Just appearing in a friend or family's wedding can rack up a lot of money quickly. You have to pay for a dress, hotel, travel, drinks, activities, makeup, and more. You don't realize it until you're in it most of the time. That appears to be the case for this bride-to-be's friend who's now going viral online for saying she's never going to get married after realizing how much it costs. You can't blame her and I don't think she's alone! Check out the viral video below.

It really adds up! That's insane! You'd never expect to get a $125k quote from a makeup artist. What are they doing, a Hollywood movie? That's wild.

They say that marriage rates and the population rates are declining. Could insane prices like this have something to do with it? Was your wedding anywhere close to as expensive as this one? It seems like it's a lot! Commenters all seem to agree that it's ridiculous and unacceptable to pay a makeup artist that much money for a wedding. There has to be a cheaper option out there!
