Sign and Go Marriage Service 

A new study found that couples who spend less on their wedding tend to have longer-lasting marriages than those who splurge. The study, by two economics professors at Emory University, found a similar correlation between less-expensive engagement rings and lower divorce rates.

The study's authors didn't examine why, although they floated a few theories.

"It could be that the type of couples who have a ... (cheap wedding) are the type that are a perfect match for each other," said Professor Hugo M. Mialon, who co-authored the study with Andrew M. Francis.

"Or it could be that having an inexpensive wedding relieves young couples of financial burdens that may strain their marriage," he said.

The research was based on a detailed survey completed by 3,151 adults in the United States who are, or have been, married. The authors believe theirs is the first academic study to examine the correlation between wedding expenses and the length of marriages.

Specifically, the study found that women whose wedding cost more than $20,000 divorced at a rate roughly 1.6 times higher than women whose wedding cost between $5,000 and $10,000. And couples who spent $1,000 or less on their big day had a lower than average rate of divorce.

The study won't be cheered by the booming wedding industry, which encourages couples to spend freely on everything from invitations and flowers to videographers and Champagne. Couples in the United States spent an average of $29,858 for their big day in 2013-- a record high -- according to a survey of 13,000 brides and grooms by wedding website TheKnot.com.

"The wedding industry has long associated lavish weddings with longer-lasting marriages. Industry advertising has fueled norms that create the impression that spending large amounts on the wedding is a signal of commitment or is necessary for a marriage to be successful," Francis told CNN in an e-mail.

"Overall, our findings provide little evidence to support the validity of the wedding industry's general message that connects expensive weddings with positive marital outcomes," he said.

Planning a wedding? In addition to slashing costs, you might want to invite  immediate family and just a few friends. This may help the couple to get through the challenges of marriage," Francis said. 

Expensive Weddings Lead to Higher Risk of Divorce: StudyBy Daniel Taylor, Esq. on 

A new study examining the link between the amount of money spent on a wedding and the duration of marriage has come to a somewhat surprising conclusion: Couples who spend less on their wedding tend to stay married longer than those who opt for expensive weddings.In the study, researchers at Emory University looked at over 3,100 married couples, reports the Chicago Tribune. In addition to the amount of money spent on a wedding, the study found several other correlations between wedding ceremonies and duration of marriage that seem to go against conventional wisdom.What does your wedding say about the odds of your marriage ending in divorce?

The study, titled "'A Diamond is Forever' and Other Fairy Tales: The Relationship between Wedding Expenses and Marriage Duration" found that spending on the wedding ceremony was inversely associated with marriage duration, with couples who spent less than $1,000 on their wedding ceremony being least likely to get divorced.The same was true for spending on an engagement ring: Couples who spent between $2,000 and $4,000 were 1.3 times more likely to get divorced than those who spent between $500 and $1,000.According to the Tribune, the study's authors concluded that there is "little evidence to support the validity of the wedding industry's general message that connects expensive weddings with positive marital outcomes

Here is the beautiful Wedding Chapel  story of Linda and Matthew.

Linda said she has been planning this special wedding for 2 years and just could not get it done. Then a friend referred her to our website.

Linda booked her wedding at A perfect Wedding Chapel for Valentines Day 2013. She wanted to be sure that our handicap ramp was available for easy access to the facility. It was , so on February 14, 2013 Linda,  Matthew, her father, his mother, and 6 siblings showed up. All of them except two siblings and Matthew  were in motorized Wheelchairs! Linda also had  a portable oxygen tank to assist her with breathing.

This was a  very special and fantastic sight to see. We had such a good time performing this wedding and was blessed as they rolled down the aisle, said their vows and were pronounced husband and wife. They even did a wheelchair version of their first dance!

We took lots of pictures and presented the couple with the full color wedding album they had ordered.

Here is the part that made this A Wedding Chapel Wedding to Remember. Matthew called to say that his new wife Linda died on March 14, 2013, exactly one month later. He also said that even though her wedding was small, it was still the best day of their lives and their wedding pictures prove that their dream came true.
