Couples are opting out of getting married mostly due to budget. It's supposed to be one of the most memorable days of your life, but pressure from the pocketbook is making that seemingly impossible. Dreaming about your someday-to-be wedding is something most people do at some point in their life. Have you ever thought about just how high other people's expectations are of your big day? It's stressful enough trying to figure out a venue, timeline, wedding party and a hundred other little details and then you throw in the critical eyes of judgment from just about everyone you know.

Sure it's supposed to be a day for you and your partner, but you wouldn't expect a wedding without the flowers, photographer, open bar, live band, and wedding cake would you? The amount of pressure on what is "supposed" to be part of a wedding has caused the wedding industry to be one of the most expensive. Your big day can run you into the six figures these days.

To help with budgeting, try and keep a tracker that shows exactly how much you're willing to spend. Maybe you or your partner's parents would be willing to contribute a bit as their gift. Maybe you can find some DIY projects to help cut costs. It's possible to have a slightly smaller and more intimate wedding which also brings down the budget. You need to do what's right for you, not for other people.

It may be hard to remember, but your wedding is truly your celebration, no matter what that looks like. I''m not saying you won't need to start a little wedding fund now, but at least you'll know you're staying true to what's important to you as the couple.

Scroll through our 30 delightful wedding memes that'll remind you of why you're tying the knot.
