Did you know . . .
That the average age of a Bride (in the US) is 26, and the average age of a Groom (in the US) is 28 years old.  And at the time of their wedding, their joint annual income is almost $60,000.

Four out of five Brides are employed before her wedding day, and if she is employed, she will continue to work for at least one year. 

Sixty-five percent of the engaged couples have known each other for at least three years before they set a wedding date.

Almost seventy-five percent of the Brides in the US change their surname name after they are married. 

Almost ninety percent of all Americans marry at least once in their life time.
