Weddings are supposed to be about love, commitment, and building a life together…

So why do they leave so many couples broke, stressed, and in debt before the marriage even begins?

In today’s episode, we break down the real truth behind modern weddings — how the industry was engineered to drain your pockets, how marketing rewired our culture, and why most couples are starting their marriage with a financial time bomb.

If you’re planning a wedding…

If you’ve ever felt pressured to “show out”…

Or if you simply want to build a stable future with the person you love…

This episode is the reality check you need.

In this episode we cover:

How weddings became a $70 billion financial trap

Why “tradition” is really just marketing you didn’t know you believed

The diamond ring scam that changed the world

How the wedding tax rips off young couples

Why 67% of couples go into debt before the honeymoon

The $45,000 mistake couples pay off for years

How debt silently destroys love, trust, and stability

What a financially smart wedding actually looks like

Scripts to tell your family “we’re doing it our way”

How to build a marriage, not a moment

This is more than an episode — it’s a blueprint for any couple who wants peace instead of pressure, stability instead of flexing, and real love instead of a six-hour performance.
