The Economics of a $30,000 Wedding (Where Your Money Actually Goes)

The average American wedding costs more than a brand-new car, yet almost nobody involved is getting rich. Not the couple. Not even most of the vendors. In this video, we break down the real economics of a wedding: where the money goes, why venues make their profit on food and drinks instead of the room, why "wedding" on an invoice raises the price, and why photographers and florists often run on thin margins despite premium prices. We also look at destination weddings, wedding insurance, the psychology of "you only do this once," and who actually wins in the wedding industry. If you're planning a wedding, running a wedding business, or just curious how the money works, this one's for you.
