USA Today:: Wedding redux: The thrill is gone

From the front page of today's USA Today Life Section: Wedding Redux: The thrill is gone for resentful guests. Interesting spin on 'encore weddings.' Read the article in it's entirety here.

A quick look at Encore Weddings by the Numbers:

SECOND WEDDINGS BY THE NUMBERS

$15,000: Average cost of a second wedding
$60,500: Average income of bride if she works full time
39: Average age of bride in second weddings
68: Percentage of couples who register for gifts

Source: Bride Again magazine reader surveys

Not altogether true according to many of my clients experiences with "encore weddings" but interesting statistics nonetheless.
