Welcome to Debt Free Wedding . . . the blog written by a father-of-the-bride and author of Before You Say "I Do" and Your Beautiful Wedding on Any Budget. Visit often for more money saving wedding tips.
Many couples are discovering that Valentine's Day weekend is a cost-savings bonanza. In addition to sales and savings on many love-related items, there are also wedding related opportunities to be had.
For example, a growing number of pastors and churches are offering Valentine's Day weddings (for free). I've read about several of these opportunities for those couples who would like to get married on Valentine's Day and don't really go in for all of the frills and spills of the traditional wedding (and the related costs). The Day itself makes the wedding special and memorable, and couples that don't feel the need to buy into the traditional wedding madness can take advantage of these savings (and memories).
The idea here is that couples can get married in a church venue, take their vows, sign their license, and be on their honeymoon way . . . and most of the time pre-marital counseling is included (and that's extremely valuable). Couples can slate a time, enjoy the already decorated church, and not have to worry about all of the other amenities that consume their time and money. Invite friends and family and, viola!, wedding.
It's probably too late to take advantage this year . . . but if you are looking ahead . . . well, book ahead.
