It's tough having a wedding during a recession. There's lots of guilt in spending money when everything about the future is so uncertain. We've had friends and family who've lost their jobs, or are in jeopardy of losing their jobs, so it's not exactly the best time for them to be spending money on a hotel room or a wedding gift or travel expenses or a bridal shower or bachelorette party.
And I feel bad spending money on things that are not necessary for the wedding and honeymoon, but I would like to have. Like a cute sundress for our trip to Puerto Rico.
On the flip side, I read somewhere that people like to attend weddings in bad economic times, because it's a nice escape from all the doom and gloom.
