The sad news about getting married is that you really have no idea if it will work or if it will not. However, wedding experts, who have witnessed tons of ceremonies, have observed telling indicators that could hint if newlyweds will have a happily ever after or if they are bound for destruction.

Cost of Wedding

From the venue to the catering to the organizers and the outfits, everything about this grand ceremony is expensive, which is why most people save up for this important event of their life. However, if your better half doesn’t disclose the total cost of your wedding, it’s going to be a problem, Lynne Goldberg, a wedding planner, explained.
