February is National Weddings Month which I think is really strange because I thought all young women longed to be June brides. Maybe February is National Wedding Month because lots of diamonds are given away at Valentines and lots of romantic proposals are made to love and cherish each other forever.
Retailers start gearing up for the June fever and lots of Bridal Shows start cranking up to hawk their wares that put newlyweds and their parents in hock almost to the degree home ownership and a college education do. Most couples would benefit financially by having a small civil ceremony or a small gathering of family and friends at a religious ceremony and using the "wedding fund" towards the down payment on a house, establishing a retirement account, toward paying off student loans, or a purchasing a long-term care policy.
Unfortunately, TV producers don't make reality TV shows about the benefits of making smart financial decisions but they do make shows and a ton of ad revenue on shows like "BRIDEZILLA" and "Say Yes to the Dress!" After all, every adult female should get to dress up like a fairy-princess and alienate her friends and family by taking on the self-induced stress of planning the perfect wedding.
For those looking to plan a shower the newest thing is a Tea Party Shower (according to Bigelow Tea Company). Tea Party Shower
Happy Valentines Day!
