Did You Spend Too Much Money on Your Wedding?

Every girl dreams of having the perfect wedding. After all, you (hopefully) only get married once.

From the dress, to the cake, the entertainment, and the flowers every detail is meticulously picked out. Sometimes, women have all of that stuff picked out before they even have a groom.

But, what if you took almost all of that money and invested it instead of paying for a lavish wedding? How much would you have today?

Well, thanks to a website called Slate.com, you can calculate how much money you have today if you did just that...invested it instead of putting on a wedding.

For example, if you got married five years ago and you spent $10,000, it would be worth more than $20,000 today. If you got married 20 years ago and spent $10,000, it would be worth more than $65,000 now.

I did the calculation from my wedding, and according to their math I would have made $15,000 if I invested instead of partying!

Does that sting a little, or are you happy you had a big wedding celebration?
