This is the Ramsey Call of the Day, part of the Ramsey Network.

All right, Rachel, so we've been talking about weddings, and I've got this article here from CNN.

Weddings are booming again. They're bigger and more expensive than ever. We'd love to hear that.

This year's wedding boom is projected to be big, according to a new report from wedding planning site than ever. We love to hear that. This year's wedding boom is projected

to be big according to a new report from wedding planning site than not. It anticipates as many as

2.6 million weddings taking place in 2022. The big events will also be much bigger and likely

more expensive amid record levels of consumer price inflation. On average, couples spent a total of $34,000 on their wedding

in 2021, including the ceremony, reception, engagement, and wedding rings. The not report said.

This is getting crazy. It's wild. And I just know some, I know people personally that, yeah,

they didn't, they didn't have their wedding because of COVID like they

weren't able to have the wedding they wanted so they waited actually we know someone that's on

our team and she's getting married tonight that's right yeah I mean it's just it is wild and

it's and it's an expensive day it's an expensive event I was thinking about the friends

episode with Chandler and Monica.

And Monica's like, if you call it a party one more time, because it's like, our big party,

she's like, it is not a party.

So yes, it's an event.

It's a day.

Yeah, when you divide the cost out by how many people are attending and you go, oh my gosh,

is Uncle Richie really worth $214?

That's the problem is like the per head thing.
