How much is this going to cost me?

You are newly engaged and extremely excited about it! I mean, you are about to marry the man/women of your dreams and can't wait! Things calm down a bit and reality hits it...and then there is the age old panic stricken questions that enters your mind...holy crap, how much is this going to cost me?!?
The thing with weddings is that you can be as thrifty or as elaborate as you would like to, and effort can make up for a lack of cash. DIY wedding are extremely popular and there are thousands of websites out there that can help you design a wedding of your dreams.

However....if you would like a rough average of how much a wedding would cost, I found a website that will let you know the average price of a wedding by zip code! It's a lot of fun to look at! For example, when I found the 53202 zip code (which is for the War Memorial Center) it said, on average, couples that live in or travel to Milwaukee, WI spend between $15,568 and $25,946.  I think that is an accurate amount of money for this area...again, you will have those who go above and beyond or below the average.

Another amazing feature on the website is that it will help personalize your wedding cost when you go to their wedding cost estimator. This is another great tool to be used for wedding budgeting! Hopefully this will help you get an idea of how much a wedding in your area cost.

Enjoy!
