three point one w poc is Jason Aldan.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Hey, let's go.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I keep us in the loop of entertainment and pop
culture and the things we shouldn't care about, but somehow
we really do. Here on ninety three point one.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So Diddy rejected a plea deal ahead of his federal
sex trafficking.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I told him to do that. Seems to me he
would take it. He thinks he's going to get out
of this. I think.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So he's going to jail for the rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
The plea deal would have reduced his sentence, but now
he faces life imprisonment.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Uh okay.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So the trial is set to begin with jury selection
on Monday and opening statements expected on May twelfth. The
Tony nominations are out. George Clooney and his weird hairdoo
Sarah Snook.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's not the hairdo, it's the fact that it looks
like shoe polish.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't like it. Yeah, and Bob Odin Kirk, they're
all up for awards.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I love that Phoebe Gates is talking about her dad,
Bill Gates Asperger syndrome. He has thought for a long
time that he may be on the spectrum and now
they're talking about it more. It's in his memoir and
that kind of thing, and I think this must give
hope to a lot of families who like look. Bill
Gates is one of the richest guys in the whole world,
(03:17):
and he's been dealing with this.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But he said his childhood was really rough because of it.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
So Kelsey Ballerini auditioned for White Lotus but.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Didn't get the part, so we're feeling bad for her.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
She did She is on Doctor Odyssey though, so she
did get an acting debut.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And then lastly, we're talking about weddings.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Right here are the biggest wedding trends for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Chocolate brown, it's the it color.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That's the color for the gowns.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
H Okay City Hall weddings are on the rise because
things are expensive, right. It looks like people are trying
to do vintage rings and maximalist rings.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know, the whole thing with rings has really changed.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Because when I got married, you know, you bought a diamond,
right and it was expensive and you get a little
one because they're expensive. Right now everybody's got these huge rings,
but they're lab grown, lab created, and I don't know enough.
I haven't done my homework on this. But is that
just as valuable? Well, I mean they're both.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
They're beautiful, they're more ethically sourced, so I think that's
they're more inexpensive, that's right. So, but a lot of
people are going with vintage and then not diamonds like
Ruby's that's nice. Yeah, the nineties inspiring a lot of
weddings these days. And then also cinematic photography. So they're saying,
(04:36):
if you're going to overspend on anything, make you be
the photography.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
In the meantime, though, someone has written a musical about
the story and it is set to make its debut
in San Francisco this weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Is that in poor taste? I mean, if you're the
if you're the widow or the family of the guy
that was murdered in cold blood just going to a
business meeting in New York City. Yeah, and there's now
there's a musical about the guy who did it.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I mean, I guess I don't know that there are
musicals about all kinds of different tragedies.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, I mean it's just this week. It was a
quick turnaround. Yeah, this thing is still going on. This
might be the definition of too soon.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, a little bit. Wow. I was just reading about
this real estate wrinkle that you might want to get
involved with being a realtor in addition to being a
morning host.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know, I mean, Beth and you look at this.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Old boats go to die at an Essex Marino, once
home to one hundred and ten, but none of them
are seaworthy. They're all sunk, and the county has been
trying to get it cleaned up and they have. They
haven't really filed suit, they've just charged the owner of
the property.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay. The woman who.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Owns it says that she is an unemployed widow who
inherited this whole mess from her husband and doesn't have
the ability to do anything about it, right, and she's
trying to sell the property for a million dollars or thereabouts.
It's a waterfront situation in Essex, but there's boats that
(10:07):
are just like they're just you know, they're all dead,
like washed up. And one of them is from a
movie that had Keanu Reeves in it. So there's some
famous dead boats there. So maybe maybe you need to
give her a buzz and see if we can help
her out.
Speaker 7 (10:21):

minutes and sixty three northbound at Eisenhower closed still due

Harbor gets to figure that out, clean it up, and
maybe it becomes, you know, a bright new thing, but
something that will make She needs help, she really does,

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Speaking of shows, Keith Urban he loves to perform, and
we all know he plays the guitar like at lightning speed. Yeah. Well,
he reported in an interview yesterday about a run of
the mill cut on his finger that turned much worse
thanks to his guitar strings. What had happened was he
(12:22):
accidentally somehow sliced a finger.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, it was just like a paper cutter.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Shah exactly. So he put a band aid on it,
and he thought, well, I'll just play with the band aid,
but he knew at some point it might cause a problem. Anyway,
the guitar string ripped off the band aid and he
couldn't stop the show. And he's strumming and he said
the string went into his cut. Uh oh, And now
he's got a bigger booboo. Anybody want to kiss Keith
(12:47):
Urban's booboo? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He just laughed the story off.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He says, I'm just gonna make y'all squirm like I
did last night.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You know, those little tiny cuts though sometimes are like, yeah,
the most annoying thing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
He played through it, But he said it. Why can't
repeat what he said? It hurt like a big bad boobo.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the other story. One more story.

But it's about that's happening in Mount Vernon. And then
there's it's a kinetic race. This looks really fun too
at the Visionary Art Museum. It's a fifteen mile race.
People have to make their own contraptions. All right, Well,
here's what we're talking about this morning. Weddings. This is
spurred on by a personal wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Not for me, not for me, You're not doing it again.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
My son is engaged to a beautiful young lady and
we started talking about the wedding as they picked out
a date, and numbers were being thrown around of the
car of what things are costing these days, And the
first thing I heard that was like, what ten thousand
dollars being asked by wedding. Look, it makes me nervous
(14:44):
just think about it. And I'm not the one that's
paying for this part of it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
The wedding planner.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Now, not every wedding requires a wedding planner, right right, Kara,
my future daughter in law, And that sounds weird saying that.
She's says that they're not going with this. But she
heard about women asking ten thousand bucks. Is that crazy?
That seems like an awful lot of money too. Well,
(15:09):
I did a little digging. Okay, all right, all right,
Now this is all according to the not which a
lot of people use as a resource for weddings and
that sort of thing. In our area. The average cost
for a wedding these days, overall average about thirty three thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now, let's do some math.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The ad they say the average cost per guest is
two hundred and eighty four dollars a person. Wow, that's
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
There's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But I did the math that would be for one
hundred and sixteen guest if you were going to spend
thirty three grand.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Wow, the two hundred and so.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I wonder, like how big are weddings because just
a full disclosure, my family, my dad is was a
cater for quite a long time. And I grew up
as a little boy in a crush blue velvet jacket
with Junior Proprietor on my little name tag, and I
would pass out cake to the older ladies, and you know,
these are weddings, Like I was at a million weddings
(16:06):
back in the in the late seventies into the eighties
and all that. Right, we've only just speaking. Oh anyway,
weddings have gotten more and more expensive as it has everything. Yeah,
and Kara was telling me she's hearing of weddings that
are one hundred grand, yeah, regularly. So I just thought
we'd mentioned this. Bring it up and find out what
(16:26):
everybody's experiences these days.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Are you getting married soon? What's your budget? Seven? Seven,
nine and six two? Begin your message with higher hay.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
All right, So here's what the big research project that
just came back at the knot says. Their study found
that spending under fifteen thousand dollars, people invited an average
of eighty nine guests, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Couples who spent.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Fifteen to forty thousand dollars invited one hundred and eighteen
one hundred and twenty people. Couples who spent over invited
one hundred and forty two. I remember when weddings were
three four hundred people regularly, really, because it didn't used
to cost the way it does now.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I don't even know three hundred people that I want
to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, well, you know what there's one thing to think about.
And I did mention this to Zach and Kara. I said,
just know that if a wedding is four or five
hours long, all right, divide that time by the amount
of guests that you're gonna have at the wedding, and
you end up spending maybe thirty seconds to a minute
with each one. And I know it's just a blur.
So I mean, I mean, I understand wanting a big wedding,
(17:33):
and if you've got a big.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Family, you may have to have a big wedding.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I know.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Also, the trends are scaling it way down, elping doing
a destination wedding with just like twelve people that you know.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Go into the courthouse, you know whatever. But we were
signing a piece of paper like I promise.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, and then I will get into everybody's putting these
charges on their credit cards?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
No, no, no, right, what are you doing? We'd love
to hear from you this morning.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I don't know where you don't know where, you mean,
don't know nothing, back them by.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ants and don't gnas. But with any one putting me
ninety three point one w poc as. We've gotten to
know each other better Michael J and Bethany. It's been
four months now we've been doing this morning thing, and
you're learning a little bit about me every day. You're laughing, though,
(18:26):
because I get my points from Royal Farms.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Because you read this text from your phone as if
it were like, I don't know breaking news.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
What I just got to tell her, it, says Michael
Michael J. Just a quick note to let you know
forty one of your points at Royal Farms are expiring.
I thought it was a text from the boss or no.
I gotta go over and get some chicken. I love
my Rofi. I love my rof.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
All right, we're talking about weddings. Yes, And wait a second.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I was calling because you guys were talking about the
cost of a wedding and I I was just giving
some input I had. I got married in the middle
of COVID in twenty twenty, and I actually had to
cut my quantity of guests down from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred because it was like rules and
regulations and without a planner. It took me about a
(19:18):
year and a half almost to planet. But I decided
to move forward with my original date and it only
costed me at the end of the day about twenty
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
All right, well that hey, that's not one hundred grand
at least that's good.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Did that include a honeymoon at all?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Or now?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
So our jersey told me and my husband actually went
to the courthouse a year in advance, and I'm really
glad that we did, because our wedding ended up being
like our after party kind of thing. We got married
early for insurance purposes.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Okay, girl, you saw it.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You got it all figured out, and you guys are
still together, so you're doing something right.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Yeah, together. This year will be five years in marriage
and we've been together fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, that's very cool.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I wish if if you're going to spend a crap
ton of money on a wedding, right that that guaranteed
at least something that your marriage would work out.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right. It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's
not like if you.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Oh you spend twelve hundred dollars in your wedding, Oh,
you're definitely not going to make it. Oh you spend
one hundred thousand dollars, You guys are gonna be good. No,
it doesn't matter how much you spend, you still the
same chot.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'll tell you the stress that it adds though if
you add it to a credit card. People are financing
these these expenses and carrying, you know, fifty one hundred
thousand dollars in debt beginning your life together with all
this debt.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, and really, finances is the thing called people fight
about the most.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, and they say where you choose to wed greatly
affects the average price of a wedding, an average destination wedding,
and people want those.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That's one of the trends right now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Everybody is a destination wedding. Well, those will cost the
average thirty nine thousand, and wear a hometown wedding thirty
two thousand plus.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
If you have a destination wedding, you're asking all your
friends and family to spend a lot of money too, right,
Somebody on tech said, Elope, those ninety three point one WPOC.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Traffic, Well congrats.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
If y'all are planning your weddings, just no, you don't
have to spend a lot of money to make it nice,
all right, Please

three point one w poc is Jason Aldan.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Hey, let's go.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
I keep us in the loop of entertainment and pop
culture and the things we shouldn't care about, but somehow
we really do. Here on ninety three point one.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
So Diddy rejected a plea deal ahead of his federal
sex trafficking.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I told him to do that. Seems to me he
would take it. He thinks he's going to get out
of this. I think.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So he's going to jail for the rest of his life.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
The plea deal would have reduced his sentence, but now
he faces life imprisonment.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Uh okay.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
So the trial is set to begin with jury selection
on Monday and opening statements expected on May twelfth. The
Tony nominations are out. George Clooney and his weird hairdoo
Sarah Snook.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
It's not the hairdo, it's the fact that it looks
like shoe polish.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I don't like it. Yeah, and Bob Odin Kirk, they're
all up for awards.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
I love that Phoebe Gates is talking about her dad,
Bill Gates Asperger syndrome. He has thought for a long
time that he may be on the spectrum and now
they're talking about it more. It's in his memoir and
that kind of thing, and I think this must give
hope to a lot of families who like look. Bill
Gates is one of the richest guys in the whole world,
(03:17):
and he's been dealing with this.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
But he said his childhood was really rough because of it.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
So Kelsey Ballerini auditioned for White Lotus but.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Didn't get the part, so we're feeling bad for her.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
She did She is on Doctor Odyssey though, so she
did get an acting debut.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And then lastly, we're talking about weddings.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Right here are the biggest wedding trends for twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Chocolate brown, it's the it color.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
That's the color for the gowns.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
H Okay City Hall weddings are on the rise because
things are expensive, right. It looks like people are trying
to do vintage rings and maximalist rings.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
You know, the whole thing with rings has really changed.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Because when I got married, you know, you bought a diamond,
right and it was expensive and you get a little
one because they're expensive. Right now everybody's got these huge rings,
but they're lab grown, lab created, and I don't know enough.
I haven't done my homework on this. But is that
just as valuable? Well, I mean they're both.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
They're beautiful, they're more ethically sourced, so I think that's
they're more inexpensive, that's right. So, but a lot of
people are going with vintage and then not diamonds like
Ruby's that's nice. Yeah, the nineties inspiring a lot of
weddings these days. And then also cinematic photography. So they're saying,
(04:36):
if you're going to overspend on anything, make you be
the photography.

Now. The last thing I heard was the Feds brought charges, Yeah,

Speaker 4 (08:36):
In the meantime, though, someone has written a musical about
the story and it is set to make its debut
in San Francisco this weekend.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Is that in poor taste? I mean, if you're the
if you're the widow or the family of the guy
that was murdered in cold blood just going to a
business meeting in New York City. Yeah, and there's now
there's a musical about the guy who did it.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I mean, I guess I don't know that there are
musicals about all kinds of different tragedies.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Yes, I mean it's just this week. It was a
quick turnaround. Yeah, this thing is still going on. This
might be the definition of too soon.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Yeah, a little bit. Wow. I was just reading about
this real estate wrinkle that you might want to get
involved with being a realtor in addition to being a
morning host.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
You know, I mean, Beth and you look at this.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Old boats go to die at an Essex Marino, once
home to one hundred and ten, but none of them
are seaworthy. They're all sunk, and the county has been
trying to get it cleaned up and they have. They
haven't really filed suit, they've just charged the owner of
the property.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Okay. The woman who.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Owns it says that she is an unemployed widow who
inherited this whole mess from her husband and doesn't have
the ability to do anything about it, right, and she's
trying to sell the property for a million dollars or thereabouts.
It's a waterfront situation in Essex, but there's boats that
(10:07):
are just like they're just you know, they're all dead,
like washed up. And one of them is from a
movie that had Keanu Reeves in it. So there's some
famous dead boats there. So maybe maybe you need to
give her a buzz and see if we can help
her out.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
Speaking of shows, Keith Urban he loves to perform, and
we all know he plays the guitar like at lightning speed. Yeah. Well,
he reported in an interview yesterday about a run of
the mill cut on his finger that turned much worse
thanks to his guitar strings. What had happened was he
(12:22):
accidentally somehow sliced a finger.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
You know, it was just like a paper cutter.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Shah exactly. So he put a band aid on it,
and he thought, well, I'll just play with the band aid,
but he knew at some point it might cause a problem. Anyway,
the guitar string ripped off the band aid and he
couldn't stop the show. And he's strumming and he said
the string went into his cut. Uh oh, And now
he's got a bigger booboo. Anybody want to kiss Keith
(12:47):
Urban's booboo? Well, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
He just laughed the story off.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
He says, I'm just gonna make y'all squirm like I
did last night.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
You know, those little tiny cuts though sometimes are like, yeah,
the most annoying thing.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
He played through it, But he said it. Why can't
repeat what he said? It hurt like a big bad boobo.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
And the other story. One more story.

But it's about that's happening in Mount Vernon. And then
there's it's a kinetic race. This looks really fun too
at the Visionary Art Museum. It's a fifteen mile race.
People have to make their own contraptions. All right, Well,
here's what we're talking about this morning. Weddings. This is
spurred on by a personal wedding.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Not for me, not for me, You're not doing it again.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
My son is engaged to a beautiful young lady and
we started talking about the wedding as they picked out
a date, and numbers were being thrown around of the
car of what things are costing these days, And the
first thing I heard that was like, what ten thousand
dollars being asked by wedding. Look, it makes me nervous
(14:44):
just think about it. And I'm not the one that's
paying for this part of it.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
The wedding planner.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Now, not every wedding requires a wedding planner, right right, Kara,
my future daughter in law, And that sounds weird saying that.
She's says that they're not going with this. But she
heard about women asking ten thousand bucks. Is that crazy?
That seems like an awful lot of money too. Well,
(15:09):
I did a little digging. Okay, all right, all right,
Now this is all according to the not which a
lot of people use as a resource for weddings and
that sort of thing. In our area. The average cost
for a wedding these days, overall average about thirty three thousand.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now, let's do some math.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
The ad they say the average cost per guest is
two hundred and eighty four dollars a person. Wow, that's
a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
There's a lot that goes into it.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
But I did the math that would be for one
hundred and sixteen guest if you were going to spend
thirty three grand.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Wow, the two hundred and so.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
And I wonder, like how big are weddings because just
a full disclosure, my family, my dad is was a
cater for quite a long time. And I grew up
as a little boy in a crush blue velvet jacket
with Junior Proprietor on my little name tag, and I
would pass out cake to the older ladies, and you know,
these are weddings, Like I was at a million weddings
(16:06):
back in the in the late seventies into the eighties
and all that. Right, we've only just speaking. Oh anyway,
weddings have gotten more and more expensive as it has everything. Yeah,
and Kara was telling me she's hearing of weddings that
are one hundred grand, yeah, regularly. So I just thought
we'd mentioned this. Bring it up and find out what
(16:26):
everybody's experiences these days.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Are you getting married soon? What's your budget? Seven? Seven,
nine and six two? Begin your message with higher hay.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
All right, So here's what the big research project that
just came back at the knot says. Their study found
that spending under fifteen thousand dollars, people invited an average
of eighty nine guests, all right.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Couples who spent.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Fifteen to forty thousand dollars invited one hundred and eighteen
one hundred and twenty people. Couples who spent over invited
one hundred and forty two. I remember when weddings were
three four hundred people regularly, really, because it didn't used
to cost the way it does now.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I don't even know three hundred people that I want
to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, well, you know what there's one thing to think about.
And I did mention this to Zach and Kara. I said,
just know that if a wedding is four or five
hours long, all right, divide that time by the amount
of guests that you're gonna have at the wedding, and
you end up spending maybe thirty seconds to a minute
with each one. And I know it's just a blur.
So I mean, I mean, I understand wanting a big wedding,
(17:33):
and if you've got a big.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Family, you may have to have a big wedding.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I know.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
Also, the trends are scaling it way down, elping doing
a destination wedding with just like twelve people that you know.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Go into the courthouse, you know whatever. But we were
signing a piece of paper like I promise.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Yeah, and then I will get into everybody's putting these
charges on their credit cards?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
No, no, no, right, what are you doing? We'd love
to hear from you this morning.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
I don't know where you don't know where, you mean,
don't know nothing, back them by.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Ants and don't gnas. But with any one putting me
ninety three point one w poc as. We've gotten to
know each other better Michael J and Bethany. It's been
four months now we've been doing this morning thing, and
you're learning a little bit about me every day. You're laughing, though,
(18:26):
because I get my points from Royal Farms.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
Because you read this text from your phone as if
it were like, I don't know breaking news.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
What I just got to tell her, it, says Michael
Michael J. Just a quick note to let you know
forty one of your points at Royal Farms are expiring.
I thought it was a text from the boss or no.
I gotta go over and get some chicken. I love
my Rofi. I love my rof.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
All right, we're talking about weddings. Yes, And wait a second.
Speaker 6 (18:55):
I was calling because you guys were talking about the
cost of a wedding and I I was just giving
some input I had. I got married in the middle
of COVID in twenty twenty, and I actually had to
cut my quantity of guests down from one hundred and
fifty to one hundred because it was like rules and
regulations and without a planner. It took me about a
(19:18):
year and a half almost to planet. But I decided
to move forward with my original date and it only
costed me at the end of the day about twenty
two thousand.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
All right, well that hey, that's not one hundred grand
at least that's good.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Did that include a honeymoon at all?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
Or now?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
So our jersey told me and my husband actually went
to the courthouse a year in advance, and I'm really
glad that we did, because our wedding ended up being
like our after party kind of thing. We got married
early for insurance purposes.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
M hm.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Okay, girl, you saw it.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
You got it all figured out, and you guys are
still together, so you're doing something right.
Speaker 6 (19:59):
Yeah, together. This year will be five years in marriage
and we've been together fourteen years.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Well, that's very cool.
Speaker 4 (20:06):
I wish if if you're going to spend a crap
ton of money on a wedding, right that that guaranteed
at least something that your marriage would work out.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right. It doesn't have anything to do with it. It's
not like if you.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Oh you spend twelve hundred dollars in your wedding, Oh,
you're definitely not going to make it. Oh you spend
one hundred thousand dollars, You guys are gonna be good. No,
it doesn't matter how much you spend, you still the
same chot.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I'll tell you the stress that it adds though if
you add it to a credit card. People are financing
these these expenses and carrying, you know, fifty one hundred
thousand dollars in debt beginning your life together with all
this debt.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
Well, and really, finances is the thing called people fight
about the most.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yeah, and they say where you choose to wed greatly
affects the average price of a wedding, an average destination wedding,
and people want those.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That's one of the trends right now.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Everybody is a destination wedding. Well, those will cost the
average thirty nine thousand, and wear a hometown wedding thirty
two thousand plus.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
If you have a destination wedding, you're asking all your
friends and family to spend a lot of money too, right,
Somebody on tech said, Elope, those ninety three point one WPOC.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Traffic, Well congrats.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
If y'all are planning your weddings, just no, you don't
have to spend a lot of money to make it nice,
all right, Please
