Brangelina May Need Wedding Insurance

Not since Mike Brady proposed to Carol Brady, have the impending nuptials of two adults with six children, caused such a flurry of interest.  Brangelina confirmed their official engagement last week. Marriage is in the air!

Imagine the cost of Brad and Angelina's wedding!  I am sure it will be well above the average.  In 2011, the amount that couples spent on weddings in the US decreased from $26,542 to $25,631, according to The Wedding Report, a company that tracks all things wedding-related. If something unexpected happens before the event is over, couples - and their parents - could be out thousands of dollars.  That's where wedding insurance comes in.

The most common vendor and venue-related problems include the facility or vendor going out of business, flowers and/or photos not being delivered and DJs not showing up.  There is always the possibility of a natural disaster, as many couples experienced with Hurricane Irene.  Other actual mishaps include a wedding guest who suffered food poising from reception food ($8,500) and the bridal gown being stolen ($750 to rent a last minute gown).
