Here are some recent figures on the $100 billion wedding industry.

• There are currently more than 44,000 weddings each weekend in the U.S., or 2.3 million per year.
• The average cost of a wedding has nearly doubled since 1990, from approximately $15,000 to nearly $28,000 (excluding additional wedding-related expenses such as the honeymoon, engagement ring and gifts, which on average total an additional $14,000 or more.)
