Nice to see how brides will spend two and a half times as much on flowers. That puts us in our spots!

Think about it. They're women. It's not a sexist thing, it's just genetic. Think of it like this...

(again, this doesn't apply to all women, but it certainly is the case quite often)

The wedding is a car. The DJ is like the engine in the car. The engine is the last thing the woman is shopping for in the car. She want's the nice interior, pretty color, fancy trim, accessories, etc. She really doesn't care what it costs. That's what she wants. Now, we all know that the car won't perform well without a good engine. The woman wants her car to run well, but still has that secondary, "yada-yada" attitude towards it.

When a girl grows up dreaming about her wedding day, you can pretty much bet that the flowers, cake and dress were thought about first. The closest they come to dreaming about the DJ is the songs.

You can't blame them. They're just being human.

Oh I totally agree...I just think this is absolutely funny! :sqwink:
 
It's an interesting breakdown, although I do wonder about the source of these numbers. The "Breakdown of Costs" pie chart is really odd. I find it strange that the expenses for the venue and catering for the reception and the rehearsal dinner were not included. They also lumped photo & video together and put all the jewelry and attire expenses altogether. I guess I'm just saying that the breakdown is unfounded, incomplete, and overly generalized.



As for the extremely sexist remarks above....:sqmad:

:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!? :sqmad:

You got to admit..at least 75% and this percentage comes off the top of my head...is true for most women.

Yes...there are a handful of women who dont give 2 chits. Of course these are the women I like more! *BIG GRIN*
 
Youngs thanks for posting that blog. I'm amazed as well that there's a lot of info missing, but hey, that's the awesome part about stats and numbers, you can skew them to say whatever you want them to say.

Wow, just plain old wow.
 
I didn't find it sexist...

Women are different then men -- they think differently (and are genetically different). Nothing sexist about it, just plain factual. :)

Sexist would imply that someone thinks one sex is better than another.
 
i had top read some of the comments and this one made me LOL>>


"I’m wondering what you think of the role of technology in the wedding industry and cost is?

An example is we used SocialFlyr iphone app for wedding announcements and are using it for thank you notes, and will save us $3000. Think this is a trend that will effect the trend?"
