I typically only post about our gorgeous brides, their breathtaking weddings and how fabulous we are but I came across an interesting article in Glamour and just had to share! I found this in the Life and Happiness section in the September 2009 issue.
Here is what it stated:
"Weird"
Things That Are Very Normal
Obsessing About Details
Brides-to-be spend an average of 30 hours per week working out arrangements for the big day.
Getting His Help
Thirty-six percent of grooms are "very involved" in the planning.
Counting Your Pennies
Fifty-seven percent of single women told us they want a modest ceremony. No wonder the average wedding cost fell 21 percent last year, to a still-whopping $21,814.
Normal by the Numbers
15% of American brides are virgins on their wedding day, while 11% are pregnant
71 % are age 34 or younger when they get hitched
17 % are between 35 and 44
12% are 45 and over
70% go on a diet before their wedding (average weight-loss goal is 23 pounds)
and
46% get their teeth whitened.
