What is particularly amazing here, is the price of what a wedding should cost in Canada and how many people are over spending in what they deem to be necessary.

Also dives deep into the ludicrous expenditures that people are willing to partake in for their big day.
I chose this piece due to the jarring message that I believe this article showcases, which is the fact that the more expensive the wedding, the more flashy but absolutely not necessary for an amazing day.  ]]> 2019-04-01 17:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347318895 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347322637 This video showcases a visual representation of the real costs of weddings in today's era. 
I chose this video because I believe that it puts the price of weddings into perspective for visual learners on the real costs of weddings. ]]> 2019-04-01 17:59:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347322637 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347325589 This video is by Dave Ramsey and is absolutely amazing as he dives into what it means to afford a wedding. He urges people to not spend more than the cash they have at hand and also, dives into what a good wedding looks like.
I chose this piece because Ramsey discusses the fact that you can have an amazing wedding for $5000-10000. A more expensive wedding does not mean the marriage will last. ]]> 2019-04-01 18:05:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347325589 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347327769 This video speaks on how to avoid wedding debt by planning appropriately. Jeffrey Shwartz speaks on what to skip in order to bring down the cost of a wedding such as a smaller guest list and skipping traditions.
This is an amazing Canadian source on how to consolidate for a wedding. What I found different was that it focused on real examples on how to save some money on a wedding. ]]> 2019-04-01 18:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347327769 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347332281 I chose this video because it again uses Jeff Shwartz who is amazing in the credit counselling field and he speaks on the importance of setting a budget for a wedding to avoid issues.
I chose this video because it is delivered by a Canadian credit counsellor who is able to speak on the importance of staying out of debt while ensuring the wedding day of your dreams. A very amazing speaker with alot of knowledge. ]]> 2019-04-01 18:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347332281 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347335317 Nation Valley News speaks on what to expect when planning a wedding in Canada. They discuss the fact that 75% of weddings go over budget and that is an epidemic when we look at the debt crisis in Canada.  Since couples do not have any prior experience in this field, they tend to accept whatever price for to create their dream day.
I chose this piece because it deeply goes into the cost of a wedding by providing real numbers to every aspect of a wedding. Very different from the speculated numbers ]]> 2019-04-01 18:22:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347335317 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347337562 So this article is very interesting because it explains what happens to debt when people get married. This not only includes debt from the wedding, but debt from the person you will be marrying. It explains what happens when a spouse passes or what happens when you become a cardholder. Very interesting content.
I chose this article because it gives a broader picture into what to expect when marrying someone It is not a decision to take likely and should be seen as a financial decision as well. ]]> 2019-04-01 18:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347337562 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347340437 I chose this image to showcase not only the financial struggle, but the emotional struggle as well. Financial issues are one of the leading causes of divorce and this picture depicts that perfectly. ]]> 2019-04-01 18:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347340437 kragbar https://padlet.com/kragbar/q6yybz03l49y/wish/347341409 I chose this image because I believe that couples need to be as close to their calculator as possible when discussing the price of their wedding.
