 <description>&lt;!-- google_ad_section_start --&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Wedding Industrial Complex is out to get as much money to of prospective newlyweds as possible. It&#039;s an enormous industry attempting to get you to buy into the &#039;princess&#039; wedding and the &#039;perfect&#039; day. They promote ideas like 3 months wages is what you should spend on an engagement ring. It has gotten so bad that the average wedding cost $28,000 just a year or so ago. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The recession has changed a lot of that. In 2009 wedding budget will shrink another 12% over last years 10% reduction. Sanity is returning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following articles, podcasts and links are all ways for to save money on weddings and still keep the most important part - two people committing to each other while friends and relatives celebrate them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Frugal Yankee asks, if you have some ideas, please share them. Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;
