The first of our children to get married was last year at Saguaro Buttes, Eric and his wife Leanna. As they started their journey they were shocked to find what it was going to cost them to have the wedding of their dreams. I have found some very interesting research which has been compiled by The Wedding Report, to share with you. For the year 2007, the average number of wedding guests is 166, with the average budget between $15,000 and $28,000.
