So you have found that special guy or gal and you want to tie the knot but funds are dwindling and you are not sure where the endowment will arise from. There are plenty of ways to save money on the actual wedding, but what if there was a way to pay nothing for the actual wedding or reception? There are ways, believe me, and if you are willing to tie the knot, or even renew your vows, amidst a crowd of couples then you are in luck.

Over the past ten years there have been thousands of trendy mass-weddings hitting every state from every angle possible. The idea came from a Guinness world record. The record for most couples married at one time became an event that spread like wild fire across the world. Events like this are being orchestrated constantly; church organizations, antsy record-breaking channels, even radio stations have taken up the challenge. This may seem like a very unorthodox path in which to get married but when it comes to saving money and having a marvelous time you cannot beat the mass-wedding concept.

Millions of people have been married in this fashion and from the stories told on mass-wedding blog-sites you may be surprised at the memories made and kept by the couples who attended these events. You may be wondering what the main expense is in this type of wedding and you may find it relieving to know that the marriage certificate itself is the most expensive aspect to a mass-nuptial. The general cost of a marriage license is fifty dollars. Of course, if you plan to purchase a gown and tuxedo for the event then this will also add to the expense but consider the alternative cost of a full wedding and reception. The average tuxedo rental is also fifty dollars, and a bridal gown can be purchased for less than one hundred (gown rentals are available too). For less than two hundred dollars you can enjoy the luxury of a magnificent wedding, with reception included, and enjoy the presence of hundreds of other happy couples to share in your excitement. Can you imagine the dance-training at this reception?

All-in-all the point is to save you thousands of dollars in wedding expenses and in this manner you will succeed. Plus, this is a far-cry from eloping. Family and friends are generally welcome at the festivities and after party; the more the merrier. And the most amazing part is that you will have saved thousands of dollars that can be put toward your one-of-a-kind honeymoon. You can keep up with local events such as this by staying up-to-date with your local radio stations, local church organizations, and even non-profits. Stay involved in local activities and sponsorships and you are likely to find events such as this happening at least once a year.
