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
-average age of a bride=26
-average age of a groom=28
-number of weddings in the U.S. in 2006= 2,155,000
-Lauren & David Blair hold the record for the most marriage vow renewals. First marrying in 1984, they wed for the 83rd time, on Aug.16, 2004, in Vegas
-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
-Texas is estimated to play host to the most weddings this year, a whopping 191,072-while north dakota will have the fewest with 4,192

First, I saw an episode on the food network about this wedding cake, it was humungous. I wonder how many days it took for that one WOOOOWWW
Second, seriously how can 27,690 be the average. It certainly is NOT the average in NY. Seriously 27,000 does not even cover the RH, so how can that be , is that for everything, dress, cake, church, shoes, etc etc etc
bc in other states, it is VERY common to pay $30-50 per person, i used to always see on theknot.com, girls paying even $15 perperson, $20...i mean NY is expensive and probably california and maybe Miami, but when you also use the average for all the other states then the number is gonna get real low
