New Marriage Stats
This post doesn't have anything to do with saving money on your wedding, but since I do have "weddings" as a category on the site, I thought I'd share the latest information from the Census Bureau about marriage. U.S. News and World Report says only about half of married Americans make it to their 25th anniversary. That's down 70% from those who married in the late 1950s and make it to their 25th. The rest were widowed, divorced or separated. The Census Bureau also reported that most Americans who marry still get married just once. About 12.5% of people marry twice and 3% marry three times. At least that's some encouraging news!
