Default Re: Are large weddings worth the money?

I believe the stat is 50% of marriages fail, not 50% of people get divorced. This is relevant because I think a large wedding is most likely a first wedding and therefore has a much higher success rate.

Also I'd be interested in the divorce rates across income brackets. I can't make up my mind on which side would have more.

This is really interesting: http://www.economist.com/world/na/di...ory_id=9218127

Basically divorce is much more of a "thing that happens to uneducated people" than for educated people. Divorce rate for a pair of college graduates is closer to 15%.

The most common cause of arguments resulting in domestic violence tends to be financial issues. So there you go.
