Even if they are impractical and unachievable for many people — especially college students — who doesn’t love a celebrity wedding? Let’s take a look at a few that stand out and offer fun and innovative inspiration for your wedding needs this year.

In 2023, the average couple spends roughly $29,000 on their wedding, $1,000 more than what it was back in 2022. Prices have increased mainly because of inflation and the costs of goods and services rising as well but they mainly depend by state and by the number of guests that are invited to the wedding.

Getting engaged while you are an undergraduate student is different, in the sense that it’s more a promise than an actual agreement. Actually “tying the knot” is a big responsibility. If you can barely wash your dishes, cook for yourself, budget your money or do general chores, you are not ready for marriage.

Instead of putting all your eggs in one basket and hoping to meet the love of your life in college, start focusing on finding your bridesmaids and groomsmen first — people that you know will love, care for and support you every day, not just on date night.

While I have intimate knowledge of the workings of what goes into the physical appearance and aesthetics of the wedding, I have also heard many stories from almost hundreds of women, consisting of new brides and longtime wives. Here are some of my biggest takeaways and pieces of advice for anyone planning a wedding this year.

As a woman who has been trying to build her career as a journalist, I want my career and published work to follow my name from when I started. I started as Caitlyn Meisner, and I want to finish under that name. My name will follow me everywhere, and I don’t want to confuse future employers with a name change.

Unique wedding venues are becoming a norm.

This trend is growing even among Christians, which may surprise those who grew up in a church where it was tradition to have a church wedding ceremony.

Clad in a Maggie Sottero lace dress with cap sleeves and a corset back, her mother’s garter on underneath, Gainesville senior Elizabeth Puckett walked down the aisle to become Mrs. Newman. It was not a traditional wedding, though. There was no chapel or pastor ordaining the ceremony.

It was a nice day in April. The sun shone down on an emerald green pasture spotted with goldenrods and oak trees. Guests followed a grassy trail that had been carved by golf carts giving the elderly and stiletto-clad women rides to their seats. The guests soon took their designated places to watch a Baylor woman get her Ring by Spring.

Leawood, Kan., senior Leigh Sunderland said she met her future husband in a lab at Baylor.
