Interesting wedding stats

Ok I bought the new people magazine and its a wedding edition, all about misfortunes at weddings, unique weddings, touching stories and a bunch of other things...I actually thought it was the people magazine with angelica glass in it but i think it was the previous week.

They gave some stats and here they are:

-The longest wedding dress train measure 3,949.8 feet and was worn in Caudry, France, on Aug.5, 2006

-The most expensive wedding dress on record was laced with 150 carats of diamonds. It was created by dressmaker Renee Strauss and Jeweler martin Kats and cost 12 million dollars-no one bought it

-60,000,000-thats how much billionaire Lakshmi Mittal Paid for his daughter Vanisha's 04 wedding-the worlds most expensive nuptials on record

-average number of weddings taking place in the US everyday= 5,904

-around 116,000 weddings take place in Las Vegas each year

-the average number of wedding guests is 167

-average price of an engagement ring is $2,100

-average price of a wedding band is $650

-50-60% of couples live together before marrying

-July beats june-though june is commonly regarded as the most popular month for weddings, more people actually got married in july than during any other month in 2004,2005 and 2006.

-average cost of a wedding is $27,690

-average length of an engagement is 17 months

-The worlds largest wedding cake was baked at the Mohegan sun casino by chef lynn mansel in 2004. It weighed 15,032 lbs. and could feed up to 59,000

thank god i had on big sunglasses on the train, some of the stories were so touching and i was crying lol

then the misfortunes OMG i feel bad, one bride fell, twisted her ankle and broke ligaments right before the ceremony, i think when she got to the church, she had her brother carry her in, nobody knew why at first, right after the ceremony she went to the emergency room, got fixed up and went to the reception after.

Another bride was in a car accident 2 months before the wedding and still had a cast on, and it was nice bc at the end she said, its just a broken foot, a wedding is a blessing so to me it was still perfect

Re: Interesting wedding stats

OMG here is some info on their wedding

Mittal also raised eyebrows last year for the lavish wedding of his 23-year-old daughter Vanisha. Invitations for the Hindu nuptials were 20 pages thick, encased in silver, and contained jade necklaces or diamond watches for close family friends. The industrialist chartered 12 Boeing jets to fly 1,500 guests from India for five days of festivities in France that ranged from the Tulleries Gardens in Paris to the Palace of Versailles.

Fireworks filled the skies, Bollywood stars mixed with the guests, 5,000 bottles of Mouton-Rothschild 1986 were consumed, and pop star Kylie Minogue entertained the throngs before a makeshift castle
