We have just written an article called “Your Wedding Budget: Five Steps to a Debt-Free, Dream Wedding.” We hope you find this helpful as you plan your dream wedding.

According to an article recently published by Calgary Herald, the average cost of a wedding in Canada is $25,800. Their source is StatsCan.
The website MyCanadianWedding.com says that the wedding cost in Canada is between $20,000 and $30,000.
In anycase, that is a lot of Canadian dollars. A survey by WeddingBells.ca reveals what brides and grooms are spending on the weddings they are currently planning. These brides and grooms on average expect to spend $17,300. It seems that they, like the brides and grooms in the United States, have not budgeted for a $20K to $30K wedding. They are hoping to beat the averages and save on their own wedding costs.
Many Canadian brides and grooms have discovered our book “Wedding Planning on a Budget” and are using its strategies to plan a wedding that fits into their personal financial goals.
We hope that more brides and grooms use our strategies to bring down the national average cost of a wedding in Canada while accumulating a small fortune in savings.

Weddings are so much fun. What is really fun is seeing how extravagant and creative people can get with their weddings.
Here is a fun video reviewing some interesting wedding statistics and some weddings by average people who tried to duplicate celebrity style weddings.
You will find out about the longest wedding dress train, the most expensive wedding dress, the most ever spent on a wedding, the biggest wedding cake, and more.
We found the video while perusing YouTube. It is about a year old but we think you will still find it to be relevant and interesting.
We welcome your comments on this video.

The results are in!
After receiving 100’s of responses from brides and grooms regarding the many different competing wedding planning guides available on the market today, a major wedding website offering a variety of wedding services announced on October 27th that Wedding Planning on a Budget along with two other wedding planning guides have been voted the top three wedding planning guides on the market.
It is very encouraging to see our hard work in creating and improving Wedding Planning on a Budget so much appreciated. Yesterday, we made some additions to Wedding Planning on a Budget’s content bringing its page total up from 112 pages to 128 pages. Although we continue to add value to Wedding Planning on a Budget, we are not increasing the price. Even though our wedding planner is already considered by many to be underpriced, we want to keep it priced as low as possible so that every bride and groom can benefit from this absolutely essential wedding planning resource.
We hope you take a look and compare the top three wedding planning guides on the market and consider getting one of these guides to help you in your wedding planning.

With this downloadable wedding instructional and resources guide you will feel like you have unlimited financial resources as you learn our winning strategies to planning your beautiful wedding without spending more money than you actually have.
Much of the world is currently experiencing some very tough economic times. Meanwhile life goes on. We still fall in love, make promises, and marry.
We have always said that no matter how little you can afford for your wedding, it is very possible to still plan the wedding of your dreams without going broke.
This is still true in today’s tough financial environment.
We planned our beautiful wedding without exceeding the amount of extra money we had stashed away in the bank at the time… $2,000 – which was less than one-tenth of the average cost of weddings in our area ($24,000 at that time). The strategies that made this possible would have still worked even if we only had, say, $500 in the bank to spend on a wedding.
In these tough times, our strategies should be applied by every couple to make sure that no one spends more than they can truly afford.
We promise that you will not be disappointed. You can have a wedding that is just as beautiful and elegant on a budget that you can afford as you could while racking up a giant credit debt. Guess which wedding you will be more happy with in the long run.
We hope you read more about our wedding and discover the strategies we followed, which are now fully revealed in our instantly downloadable book Wedding Planning on a Budget.

It is amazing how many wedding days turn out less than perfect because of health issues arising from changes in lifestyle and the stress of weddings. Brides trying to fit into a dress tend to under-eat and under-drink. These changes in behavior together with extra stress can cause problems on the wedding day such as discomfort, fainting, and even a hospital visit.
We have recently come across a blog entry that we want to share with you. The blog gives 25 tips for staying healthy before and on your wedding day. See the 25 Wedding Health Tips here
