A survey by <a href="https://www.lendingtree.com/credit-cards/study/expensive-weddings/#:~:text=From%20bouquets%20to%20bills:%20Wedding,racked%20up%20the%20highest%20bills."target="_blank" >LendingTree</a> found that 31% of people who had been to a wedding in the past five years had accrued debt to attend. So what’s driving up the cost of weddings for guests? And what makes it so hard to say no to these expenses?
