I cant believe David's Bridal is sells 30% of all the bridal gowns in this country!!! That's nuts!

1,000 person engagement party at Versailles? Why is my father not a steel tycoon?

Wow thanks Laura, very informative!:)

and most people get engaged in December? Interesting...I got engaged in December! LOL

Those were interesting Laura. Thanks for sharing!

how about the couple married 85 years? WOW now that's a commitment! lol

I also read somewhere that 52% of married couples do not have sex on their wedding night. My FH freaked out when he read that ... (though he admitted that him and his ex wife didn't on their wedding night so at least something will be new to him! LOL)

I love little facts like that! That's one reason why I like to watch Bridezillas because the whole show is filled with wedding facts that are thrown in here and there. They (a Bridezillas episode) say that the most expensive wedding ever was in the 80's in Dubai at the cost of $44 million and this site says $60 million, but I'm assuming this higher priced wedding was more recent. Hope that couple is still married after spending that much!

LOL I hadn't hears that statistic but it makes sense

I got engaged on december as well, december 23rd 2008 to be exact. HEHE!

what could you even spend that much money on? Did they give each of their guests a new car as a wedding favor or something? How do I get an invite to one of those weddings? LOL

16 TONS of frosting??? My teeth and tummy HURT!!

Thanks for the post Laura! I am actually doing a research paper right now and this type of info plays into it perfectly! Great timing!! THANKS!!!

OMG 37 seconds for brides to get discount dresses!!!

If you enjoy reading statistics about weddings, check out this site: http://www.theweddingreport.com/ (Some of the info is only available to paid subscribers, but quite a bit is free.)

You won't find stats there about sex on the wedding night, but you can find out lots about average costs of weddings by state or metropolitan area, and info like that ...

hey "laura k" you got engaged on my 20th birthday :)

Thanks Laura... interesting facts. I found it interesting that the average wedding costs over $28,000, but I keep hearing from brides on these boards that they can only spend $5 or $6 thousand. What gives? And, if that's true, where are these brides... don't they come here?
