Matrimonics: The Economics of Marriage

Surprised by how much everything adds up to? What surprised us the most is how few couples have the funds saved up to pay for their wedding, which means many will be borrowing – maybe from the bank of mom and dad, and hopefully not on a credit card!If you do pay with your credit card, make sure you pay it off at the end of month with a lower interest personal loan. Borrowell offers wedding loans just for that purpose.
