Getting Married In Philly Is Really Expensive

Our colleagues at Bridal Bulletin report:

Well, if you gasped when you heard that theaverage wedding these days costs upwards of $27,000, then prepare to shriek: Apparently, that number in Philadelphia is actually $38,369!

ABC News reports that a recent study done byTheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com declares Philly, actually, to be the eighth most expensive place to get married in the country. (New York is numero uno.) Does that surprise me? No, not necessarily. Does it surprise me that it beats out, say, LA? Yes, definitely. And even Miami, where stuff gets a little flashy.

What’s left to say? Except, you know: Elope.
